They're not identical matches but Book of Retribution is formatted less like a Lexicon and more like a storybook with pictures
Which IS similar to what Book of Prophecies is like

Book of Prophecies is also more than just a book of events to come
It also holds information on heartless and other bits of important knowledge

That's kind of left open exactly how it tells that information but if it holds explanations of all words to do with the world of kingdom hearts
It could be described as a lexicon too :fingergun:
But that's unknown and could be a stretch LMAO

Ienzo being the MoM would honestly completely ruin his entire story for me.

Let the MoM be his own person and not someone we've already seen before.

To be fair though when does Nomura actually add characters who are truly not connected to all the other characters in a big way ? The fact we also have so many characters who look similar to each other

Ok, but it being Ienzo would literally ruin Ienzo's entire arc.

Innocent kid, manipulated into a monster, then redemption.

Suddenly he's the mastermind of pretty much everything? Really?

Ienzo has an arc?

I mean, it's simple but yes, he does.

He's not the main focus of anything or anything but he serves his purpose.

That's true but Ienzo has repeatedly shown to be doing things in the background as well

I think something interesting too is that like
with all the time stuff in kh
MoM says when he was a kid that's when the first keyblade war happened
If we consider ATV vs Xehanort and Vanitas to be that first keyblade war, then technically he would have been alive for it
going forward then that keyblade war would still be going on
with Luxu having been present for both of them, I think it adds some more meaning when MoM tells that to Luxu, that the keyblade wars been going on for a while

Impossible, KH3 runs on a strict, ‘no character arc’ policy

I have to rewatch that scene to see exactly what they said but still

With Ansem's secret report stating Ienzo was the one to mention the lab in the first place
the scene with Ansem the Wise, Braig and Xehanort where Ienzo seems to be aware more is going on
The scene with Xigbar and Zexion randomly added in in KH 2: Final Mix

I do admit Ienzo being MoM is me stretching but the games have repeatedly been flagging Ienzo/Zexion as an important character and his weapon is important

There's also Ienzo's reunion with Ansem the Wise that becomes utterly tainted if he's the MoM and just manipulating everything.

The way I see it is he doesn't know he's MoM in the present
MoM is an adult and sounds mature but
Ienzo's like what roughly 17/18 years old by KH3 time?

He's only a few years older than Sora and Riku

Xigbar's character file story comes across like him explaining his role as Luxu to someone who doesn't understand yet

I think that that idea that Ienzo could see things other could would also be because future Ienzo would have put his eye into the keyblade to the see the future
but in the end it would be the same eye as the one he had as a child, I would guess it would have some sort of effect on him

why he's looking at Apprenticenort and Xigbar oddly

Why he seems to know something about xemnas that xigbar doesnt

he's seeing these images that he doesn't know why or understand why

If you're suggesting he travels back in time to become the MoM.

He cannot.

Not to say that is Ienzo he's explaining to by the way it just stood out to me as Luxu explaining time

I didn't but you can think that aqua

It breaks the rules of time travel the series has.

was talking to Celestial, strange.

Not you.
