So, I kept on muttering to myself that re:coded DID have something to contribute to the plot: Digital Sora's Heartless was the Big Bad. And there is no such thing as a one-off Baddie in KH. I don't want to look like a crazy person anymore, so less muttering, more talking.
In KHII, entering anti-form was something that could only be controlled if the player knew how system worked. Story-wise, that meant that Sora has no control over it. I would say that is an indicator that Sora doesn't know how to control his own darkness like Riku.
In KHI, Sora's darkness becomes a separate entity (Thanks Riku). Ven's darkness was able to take on the more solid and seperated form of Vanitas. Those two also stand out in that Aqua and Terra's final battles were with versions of Xehanort, but not Ven. So, there's the precedent for *dun dun dun*
Sora's Darkness/Heartless/Anti-form being the next Villain.
Sora's a normal boy, which is something Nomura likes to reiterate (Kairi and Riku are weirdos). And normal humans have not-so-nice parts of themselves. He also has yet to go through the non-literal 'facing oneself' part of...just about any Hero story.
