sí, wey.

Vive Vanitas.

just want a clear answer if he is one of the Darknesses or not

I say no because that would make his relationship with Ventus and Sora less personal and their whole “Shared heart/halves of a whole/brother” dynamic would fall apart.

Wait that hasn't been confirmed yet?

He bounces back between being one of the 13/an Ancient Darkness and Ventus’s own.

I think if he is one and Sora's heart managed to make him learn emotions, which Darknesses lack, it can be very interesting and justify him returning

If he isn't related to them then there is little purpose in his return at all

A reply to this ^ and "He bounces back between being one of the 13/an Ancient Darkness and Ventus’s own."
I personally believe he is both. In subtitles when he referenced to himself in KH3 as darkness, the D was always capitalized, referencing a name or person, not just the general darkness. He showed up to shit talk the Guardians with the Norts, probably showing that Xehanort knows Vanitas means shit.
As for BBS references, I can't remember any atm.
And then we have Dark Inferno X, either being a form/connection to Vanitas, I believe Vanitas pulled a Sora and jumped to Ventus and was talking to Sora as his pure 13 Darkness self.
This is just me just small brain theory-vomiting.

I love you.

I have a personal theory that he was ORIGINALLY Ventus’s darkness, but after he was possessed by big D Darkness he gained sentience.

Too bad I'm taken 😌

Me too, but I love you.

Your Vanitas analysis is
