At the end of Dream Drop Distance, Young Xehanort told Riku that they were looking for a new vessel to take over. Their first pick was Riku, then Roxas, and Sora. But before Xehanort took over Sora body, Lea saved Sora from being a vessel. Organization of Xehanorts told Riku and Mickey that they will fight each other in the battle of darkness and light, while looking for a new vessel. Who's gonna be Xehanort brand new vessel? We know that Final Fantasy and Disney characters aren't gonna be vessels since FF characters are just there for fan service. While Disney aren't gonna let their characters be a cold blooded villain. Most logical vessel would be a original character from the Kingdom Hearts franchise. But who? For a logical vessel, the character must be close to Sora or his friends. It mostly likely not Hayner, Pence, and Olette. They're barely friends with Roxas or Sora. The only time they ever help the main character was to lead the newly awaken Sora out of the virtual Twilight Town. They weren't even the real Hayner, Pence, and Olette. They were fake virtual copies sent by DiZ to help Sora out. The most likely vessel would be Lea or Kairi. Why? While Lea is a keyblade wielder, we know that Lea would do anything to bring his best friend, Isa, from the darkness. Even if becoming a vessel for Xehanort to take over. (Which I believe that might happen if Xehanort and Lea made a trade where, Lea has to take Isa place so Isa would be free.) And the other mostly likely vessel would be Kairi. Xehanort knows how much Sora loves Kairi. Making Kairi a vessel is a great idea since we know that Sora wouldn't hurt Kairi at all. (Even if she's Xehanort vessel.) Xehanort would see this as a chance to kill Sora once and all. Of course, unless Riku drops in and defeat her. (Because Riku doesn't give a care about Kairi at all.)

Who do you think will become Xehanort new vessel?

The chess piece and sheer mysteriousness makes me think that it will be Luxord too.

Plus, he's Nomura's favourite character! Creator's pet gotta count for something

i see quite a few flaws in your post. First: Hayner, Pence and Olette, the 3 Sora met were the real deal. The ones Roxas knew were the virtual copies. Sora was never in the virtual world except to use it as a gate way to the world that never was. Second: Lea would never join Xehanorts team of vessels. He would rather struggle with the fact that they are on opposing sides than join the team that corrupted his friend, cuz he knows it's the best course of action. Hell Sora had the same confliction with Riku because he knew he had to fight his best friend. Third: claiming Riku never care about Kairi is a bull faced lie. Riku found Kairi during his journey in KH, Riku sacrificed himself to save his friends. He turned to darkness specifically to help protect those he cared about. That's why Riku was the one to gain the title of Keyblade Master, he endured the harshest battles and still came on top, both internally and externally. If anything they'd create a brand new KH character specifically for KH3, cuz besides the original characters from KH, DiZ came out in CoM, Roxas in KH2, Xion in 358/2 days, etc. I'm looking forward to who they choose though.

Wait, when did Nomura-san state this? any evidence or citation?

From the Kingdom Hearts character report Volume 2:

 

Luxord 

In all honesty he is my absolute favourite Organisation member. I like how he treats everything as a gamble, like Setzer from FFVI of old. I actually wanted to make him stand out more. At least I got him to say some things during the meeting scene added to KH2 FM+... but Luxord should have been able to do so much more...

--Nomura

 

Sure he says 'favourite organisation character', but it must count for something, right?   

 

Also, the bit that I've bolded seems fairly foreshadowy....

I think this citation gives even more credence for Luxord to be a Seeker Of Darkness. How else could he possibly "do so much more" in the plot of Kingdom Hearts 3?! Yeah, good analysis on the possible foreshadowing  :wink:

I've literally been on my toes waiting for a reply from you! (or anyone for that matter!) :tongue:

And yeah, in my mind the likeliness of Luxord being one of the darknesses has shot up to 90%

The only other candidate that could take that Seeker Of Darkness spot aside Luxord would probably be Ephemeria, however, we know two little about this Chi character to draw any final conclusions.
