Your KH3 Final Boss Theories Here

[Alan Smithee]

I have not yet seen a thread like this, so I figured it was okay to make one myself. I would like to share my theory/theories for KH3's Final Boss Battle and hear yours, too. Be sure to put said theories in spoiler tags. It's more dramatic that way.

My theory:

I personally think that Xehanort will NOT be the Final Boss in KH3. That would just be too predictable. He will be the SEMI-Final Boss, much like Barthandelus from FFXIII. Instead, a twist will occur where one of the heroes usurps his role as antagonist, "disposes" of him (ironic, given his treatment of others), and attempts to claim Kingdom Hearts' power for him/herself. This person will not be corrupted by Darkness (like the ten trillion other Bosses in the series), but will instead try to DESTROY Darkness and remake the universe into pure-Light, believing that Darkness really was the source of evil and misery all along, and that Xehanort's actions only reinforced that idea. The other heroes will try to talk this person down, but cannot ease his/her paranoia against Darkness, and will ultimately have no choice but to face this person in order to protect the balance of Light/Darkness. However, this can't just be ANY one of the heroes. After all, nearly all of them have already served as Bosses in some way/shape/form at some point in the series. But there is one playable, series-original character who has remained a hero all the way through. If you can guess who I'm talking about, I'll continue my theory.

First of all, I don't see in what world it would be OK to spoil another game without mentioning it anywhere, especially a game that isn't even 5 years old, just because you're in the spoiler section of A DEDICATED GAME SERIES.

Short story : You don't spoil (RECENT) Final Fantasy games in a spoiler section for KINGDOM HEARTS.

And also, of course it's gonna be Xehanort. OF COURSE. The guy will even have 13 clones, so if it's not him it will kinda be him in some shape anyway. "how" will be more interesting than the "who" in my opinion.

I wasn't trying to "spoil" anything. As I just said above, the spoiler tags were mainly for dramatic effect. I was just using that particular Final Fantasy moment as a similar example to what happens in my theory in order for it to seem more plausible. But I never said that they didn't contain actual spoilers. I just forgot to say that they MIGHT. If you don't want to be spoiled, be safe and don't click on the tags.

And that game has been out for 2+ years now. The "shock-factor" of any spoilers for it have faded, especially with its SEQUEL out now.

The entire purpose of the post was to discuss my theory, NOT spoil other games. I just figured that one tidbit was common knowledge to the fans by now.

[Samhain]

its gonna be Xehanort.

fact. he's the main antagonist and this saga is called the "Xehanort Saga" for a reason.

btw you dont need to put spoiler tags in a spoiler section

The spoiler tags were mostly for just dramatic effect. Sort of like, "Drum roll, please."

I've seen others use spoiler tags in the spoiler forum. Guess I just assumed it was okay.


Also, The Joker was the main antagonist of The Dark Knight, yet Two-Face was the final enemy. Being the main antagonist does NOT necessarily mean becoming the Final Boss.

I want to insult you but I might be banned, you don't have to decide for me or ANYBODY what is a spoiler or not -_- .

Been out for 2 years ? So what ? It's ok to reveal plot related "surprises" to illustrate your THEORY about ANOTHER game ? Because you finished it, it's ok ? Everybody is forced to do so or it's their problem ?

Also, your Batman exemple is painful.

[Cosmic+Amarna]

I think that there's a good chance it may be Maleficent, just kidding it's Xehanort.

[Zul]

I don't think it'll be the ye olde necron/cloud of darkness/zeromus deal. Those were in single games, we've been building up to finally taking this guy out for years, the final boss is probably going to be Sora vs Xehanort in some multi-stage battle in a station of awakening.

Your obviously refering to eraqus, and that would be an interesting twist, since first he would need to return, which will prob happen when terranort is split into terra and mx

Whoa, calm down, alright?

I never said any of that crap. I said that many others already know about that part, and since we're in a spoiler forum anyway, I wouldn't cause any harm. Especially since I was just using that one part as an example/evidence to support my theory, instead of the entire post just being, "OMG! SPOILER!" Also, I didn't spoil the ending or even who the FINAL Boss was of that game (and I'm not going to) or anything, just one commonly known tidbit that occurs about 7/8 through the story.

And no, I don't think that way about others. If enough people ask me, then I promise to delete that part. But so far, you're the only one flaming about it.

People can choose not to read my posts, just as you can choose not to flame.

Also, your Batman exemple is painful.

The truth can be painful.

Your obviously refering to eraqus, and that would be an interesting twist, since first he would need to return, which will prob happen when terranort is split into terra and mx

That would be obvious, wouldn't it?

But no, it's not Eraqus. Think about what I said above:

1) - PLAYABLE character (from ANY of the games in the series)

2) - Original character created exclusively for this series

3) - Has yet to also be fought as a Boss (SERIOUS Boss; Tutorial Bosses don't count)

4) - Would have very strong reasons to hate Darkness

5) - This character is "pure"; their heart and/or memories have never been tampered with once

If you think about all of that carefully, then there is only one character who fits all of the criteria.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Master Xehanort wearing some kind of variation of the No Heart armor. Major bosses have been hinted at in the form of super bosses in earlier games. Xemnas was in KH:FM, KH2:FM showed us the Lingering Will which was involved in BBS. BBS:FM showed us Young Master Xehanort, and there he is in DDD as a major boss. No Heart could be another example of this.

I also feel that we might see Xehanort's Heartless make a play for supreme power, transforming his shadow into something really nasty. The Heartless were the original villains, the incarnations of darkness - would be fitting for some ultimate Heartless to be the final, ultimate enemy.

dis soul........ LOL Jk but defintley xehanort

You fell on the head when you were a baby ?

Being in a spoiler section DEDICATED TO ONE SERIES used as an excuse to spoil A NON RELATED GAME is epic, bro.

Also, many people ? Excuse me but not everyone had a ps3 when the game came out, not everybody could/wanted to afford the first game (which isn't so good, while the sequel is great, so it can motivate people to START the game now and not 2 years ago), just because some did it's OK to talk about it as if it were 10 years old and any fan who cared did it ? You're kidding me ?!

Especially since I was just using that one part as an example/evidence to support my theory, instead of the entire post just being, "OMG! SPOILER!" Also, I didn't spoil the ending or even who the FINAL Boss was of that game (and I'm not going to) or anything, just one commonly known tidbit that occurs about 7/8 through the story.

That's not the question. The question is, were you forced to spoil an element from an unrelated game without warning just to illustrate your theory.

And no, I don't think that way about others. If enough people ask me, then I promise to delete that part. But so far, you're the only one flaming about it.

People can choose not to read my posts, just as you can choose not to flame.

That is not true. Why wouldn't I read you ? I wouldn't read you if you had stated somewhere that your 'spoiler' might include anything and not just KH. Duh.

Why am I the only one "flaming" ? Cause 1) they don't care about FF13 2) They finished FF13

I don't think any of those who replied are actually playing FF13 for the first time (like me).

The truth can be painful.

It was irelevant. You're comparing a 2 hours movie with a game franchise that's been having the same goal for 10 years. The ultimate goal is to defeat Xehanort, why and how is the interesting part.
We do not know what shape he will take, we do not know what his true intentions and past are, and we do not know how to defeat him for good.

We don't need another villain at the end just for the "surprise" effect, geez, the guy has clones and time travel, that's already a bit much on the "surprises".

That would be obvious, wouldn't it?

But no, it's not Eraqus. Think about what I said above:

1) - PLAYABLE character (playable from ANY game, and that includes all 358/2 Days Mission Mode characters)

2) - Original character created exclusively for this series (meaning it won't be a Disney character)

3) - Has yet to also be fought as a Boss (as in SERIOUS and MANDATORY Boss; Tutorial and Optional Bosses don't count)

4) - Has very strong reasons to hate Darkness

If you think about all of that carefully, then there is only one character who fits all of the criteria.

Er, I guess Aqua ? God.

No, Aqua will never turn evil.

If any thing of the sort would have happened, it would have been Terra, but it's more than unlikely given all we know now. (It was a theory at a time, that he was acting through Xemnas but that's been discarded)

[ultima-demi]

Even though you said it isn't Eraqus i wonder if'll he'll make any appearance at all anymore,he doesn't seem to be mentioned either.
Though i do wonder if he's armor had/will have any relevance seeing it was a boss in KhBBs Fm.

[Straythe]

There's no reason for Eraqus to come back.

1) He's not in torment

2) He died. He just sent his heart into Terra instead of Kingdom Hearts

3) His heart saved "his son" several times, he still lives through Terra, like a legacy

The fact that he's not in torment proves he's fine with his condition (which is helping and being a part of his son). I guess Terra can see him in some visions, but the man doesn't seem to like "influencing" Terra, it's more like a gift.
