Aqua (possible spoilers)

[Lu Xun 2,069]

Hey, guys!

I'm not really aware of any theories regarding what happens to aqua in kh3, so please forgive me if what I say here has already been said before.

 

So, I was watching the trailers again and in the big hero one (

) around 3:14~ Aqua appears to be being beaten by that heartless that follows Ansem SoD, and later in that same trailer, Aqua is unconscious and about to be killed by Vanitas in the Land of Departure, which means that Castle oblivion was turned back to LoD by then. So, I wonder if dark aqua came from this? With "killing" being a strange word here... Maybe Vanitas adds darkness to her heart? This doesn't mean that Ven was taken by Xehanort, perhaps when they arrived there (Aqua and Vanitas), Ven had already left or Aqua manages to send him elsewhere.

What do you guys think? 

 

Also, I don't know why, but there's this short video with so few views from the scene of aqua battling sora (this was taken from Square footage it seems). 

Shame I can't understand anything that is said. If someone can, please post here.

 

So, regarding that video, we know that Riku will star the game by going to the RoD to find her. When we were first introduced to dark aqua, in the frozen trailer, we saw riku sitting in a strange pose. I believe he is either taken by surprise by dark aqua who attacks him and steals his keyblade and so Sora has to go to rescue him and free Aqua from the darkness...

 

Man, I really can't wait to see exactly how this unfolds

I honestly believe that the last video linked is a red herring, for one, Sora isn't the one who's meant to go save aqua, and two, we know that when Riku and mickey are off on their quest, Sora goes to Olympus so he can't be in the Realm of Darkness at the same time in his new duds.

In my opinion the dark aqua will be resolved very quickly at the beginning of the game so that Ven can be rescued, ergo aqua looking like her normal gorgeous self in the LoD.

 

As for the guardian, I'm guessing Ansem SoD turns up to *seduce* Riku to the Darkness.

OR Terranort turns up, and Aqua isn't letting letting that go. I'm sure the Dark Aqua is just her submitting to darkness from excessive exposure and nothing more

my theory is that Riku  will have his very own campaign completly removed from soras story till the very end. By which I mean sora is going through all the disney worlds and Riku saves aqua and ven In the realm of darkness and from castle obliviion Which I think would be a good thing because if there is one thing Kingdom hearts games are suffering from espeacially in DDD its repetitiveness

I was thinking that the scene at LoD took place before Aqua turned evil, but then it wouldn't make sense for her to be in the RoD after that. Unless dark aqua is actually Aqua's nobody if Vanitas does really remove her heart in the LoD scene from Big Hero trailer. But this would be extremely messy... 

 

But the quick moments that you can see Aqua fighting and apparently losing(it's strange because she's not wielding a keblade during that scene) to Ansem's guardian do make it look like Terranort showed up in the RoD, which will probably be the case

About Riku saving her... I read some discord topics yesterday and a lot of people think that Sora will save her due to 0.2's opening movie in which Sora's hand reaches her hand.

I came up with these ideas because it's still hard for me to believe she's going dark without something big have happened. Aqua's been my hero, but I guess even heroes do have faults.

 

By the way, the keyblade she's using in that battle and in the trailers in general she appeared, there's been any info or theories about it?

It's Mickeys new keyblade, and it looks like a Keyblade of Twilight, considering:

starseeker - light

Kingdom Key D - Darkness

and about Aqua not having a keyblade in that scene... I'm guessing she's lost the Master Keeper at that point (which is why we see it in Destiny Islands) and is just doing her best with Magic. Honestly that could be the start of her descent into darkness, as being stuck without a keyblade for any amount of time in the RoD probably had an affect on her.

 

Alternatively it could be after she's been de-darkified and she needs to use magic because master keeper left her. Either way I feel that Aqua’s story will be resolved pretty quickly, and she'll probably be saved by Sora in the LoD, I really don't think she's gonna end up back in the RoD. If she did someone gonna have to pay

I doubt that. It's been hinted that Aqua is going to be saved by Sora in KH0.2 BBS' opening and in the TGS trailer for KH3. Also, in a recent screenshot, we see Yen Sid order Riku and Mickey to continue trying to help Aqua and that's after Sora and the gang have returned to Mysterious Tower (so probably post-Olympus). My guess is Riku and Mickey are going to try to save Aqua, fail and the mission's eventually going to fall to Sora.

Your guess is as valid as mine at this point, and I always felt that the 0.2 opening was a metaphor, but you could be right!

 

Honestly I would prefer if it was just Riku and Mickey if I'm honest, but if Sora comes diving in I'll be cool with that
