Everyone's been trying to guess what will happen since the newest trailer came out, so I thought that I could give it a shot too. I guess I'll start with the first scene. YMX and Vanitas are asking Sora about hearts other than his own. After they leave, he asks himself whether or not this is true. The fact that he asks himself that question is what's really important to this theory. It shows that he is unsure about who/what is really inside him. He's known about harboring multiple hearts in one person since he learned he did it in KH1 with Kairi. There's also a giant hole in his memory because of Namine.

 

Thinking about it could be pretty disturbing. You've just defeated the big bad guy, see Pluto, and then go running after Pluto. Then a giant chunck of time is skipped and your in a different world, inside a giant pod thing, and get a really weird de ja vu feeling while walking around in town. Sora sees Namine at the end of KH2 and because of Jiminey's journal he knows she has something to do with his 1 year nap.

 

 

Going back to the harboring hearts concept, wouldn't it make sense for Sora to think that a person with the ability to have multiple hearts within him would be usefull for people who have no hearts at all? The pods look like a big reseach facility. Knowing that Namine herself is a nobody, Sora may think she helped the Organization in order for them to study his multiple heart harboring ability. If Sora had said train of thought, it wouldn't be illogical to think that the Organization placed more inside him.

 

This coupled with however much he may or may not remember about the scene with Ven's heart as well as Vanitas' two second appearance, could easily cause him to have doubts about how much he has really done of his own heart's will. The trailer even brings this up with the mysterious voice asking if the things that he felt were really what his original heart was feeling.

 

We know that Roxas had a somewhat minor impact on Sora's emotions from the scene where Sora says goodbye to Hayner, Pence, and Olette. Furthermore, YMX tells Sora that what's most important to him will be swallowed up by memories. All of this could easily instill doubt in Sora's own abilities. This is interesting considering Sora's little "I am invincible!" outburst in the TGS trailer.

 

This could mean 2 things. Either a. Sora's just telling himself this to cope with a minor inferiority complex he's had since childhood or b. he really believes it and everything that is mentioned above comes in and brutaly breaks that mentality. Either way, it still leads him to question what is his real strength without the assistance of others.

 

Questioning one's strength would lead to the fear that he is not strong enough to defeat his enemies, and as Eraqus once said, fear leads to obsession with power, and obsession beckons the darkness. This dark Sora does seem to match with the falling Sora symbolism that Nomura seems intent to spread.

 

Considering this whole thing seems to be what YMX wants Sora to think seeing that YMX is asking him these questions, I have to ask why. It's been evident that Xehanort is a master manipulator in all of his forms. MX was able to convince Terra that he was on Terra's side, and in many ways, Sora's more naive than Terra.

 

Towards the end of the trailer, YMX asks Sora to come with him. This probably means that YMX is trying to use Sora in order to achieve some sort of goal. YMX mentions that he wants revenge but on who? Knowing that YMX is a time traveler might suggest that it is someone from one of Xehanort's many pasts. To answer this, I have to ask why he would use Sora.

 

Thinking about it, it's probably because of Sora's unique talent with other's hearts. This leads me once again to the first line of the trailer, specifically, he asked if Sora had hearts within him too. Keyword:too which implies that YMX also has multiple hearts inside him. If YMX could figure out how Sora deals with multiple hearts, then perhaps he could deal with his own. I do not know on whom YMX wants to get revenge, but there is a plausible reason why he would need to quell the multiple hearts in him. One scene in the trailer shows MX, Ansem SoD, and Xemnas together but not YMX. If YMX used whatever he learned from Sora to silence what are most likely Terra's and possibly Eraqus' hearts, he could come back as the old MX we know and love.

Sorry, I tried reading it, but minor dyslexia is preventing it. I'm sure you have some truth in your statement though! :P

(: Much better!

 

Okay, there's so much here, so I'll address a few points.

 

1. I don't think Sora doubts Namine at all. He's too naive and seems to trust her fully.

 

2. Yeah, I think at some point he'll be emotionally crushed. My own theory is that he'll have an identity crisis and not be sure if his thoughts are his, Ven's, Roxas', Xion's, or Namine's. That scene with the multiple "Tron-Soras" had some sort of quote like that...

 

3. YMX w/ multiple hearts... Hmm, good theory. Unless it's a mistranslation (as in he meant not to say "too"), what you said seems rather plausable.

Ah, there's the million dollar question: Is Sora really Sora, or is he just the sum of everyone around him? Nomura, of course, has said that Sora is Sora, but Sora doesn't know that. And of course, there's Data-Namine's statement in coded about the painful memories possibly being too much for him to handle, drowning in the memories of the hearts within him. I also like what you mention about Young MX needing to control his other incarnations; although really, the difference would be that everyone in Sora is broken and Eraqus and Terra are fighting him, but of course MX is too blnd to see that. He will probably try to dump them all within Sora, who already holds so many hearts, and then escape the Realm of Sleep and leave Sora behind.

Then, there may always be the whole "I'm sick of fighting" thing that sometimes happens to heroes (which would really apply here; I mean, Xehanort only keeps coming back!), but then that's a little cliched and probably wouldn't be used. I...I don't even remember what i wanted to say :P
