KH3D *SPOILER* Can Eraqus...

[deathrebirthsenshi 279]

Okay, so you know how Ansem SoD could time travel because he was just a heart? Well, who else do we know who's body no longer exists?

That's right: Eraqus.

ALthough Eraqus did seem to link himself with Terra's heart to help combat Xehanort...this plot obviously failed. The current location of Terra and Eraqus are unknown. But is it possible that in the case of Eraqus, since he has no body in the realm of light anymore, do you think he can time travel? Could this ever happen?

The world may never know.

[Skai 3,961]

Now that you point it out, it is possible. Xehanort is destroyed by the own information he dished out.

[Master Xehanort1690 39]

Does it matter? It wouldn't change anything since one of the rules of time traveling is that you can't change the flow of time. Besides his heart is within Terra. Still it is plausible.

[Zoro317 111]

I don't mean to sound disrespectful but is Eraqus really even essential to the story anymore? If so, I suppose your theory seems plausible. I still don't fully understand this whole time traveling business but it would be nice to see Mark Hamil reprise his role, should there be room for him in the upcoming story.

[Robbie the Wise 5,050]

Terranort has yet to be reborn so Terra and Eraqus are still whithn that body

[Skai 3,961]

I would think Eraqus is still essential to the story considering his name is an anagram for square.

i also agree with this, i mean i just kind of doubt he'll have an important role than he did in BBS but idk. guess we'll find out when Terra comes back! plus i do enjoy the time traveling i've been hoping for this since BBS.

[Tsunamo 62]

I'm prettysure Eraqus didn't lose his body, he died, there's a difference. His heart was his gift to Terra to help him combat Xehanort taking over his heart. I honestly can't see it going much further than this other than the possibility of finding out where his heart went after the whole identity crisis dilema for AX.

 

But 'eh, who knows. If he was popular enough Nomura would probably find a way to bring Eraqus back somehow, just look at Axel.

[Bosh104 51]

I think Eraqus is still important to the story, i mean why else would Master Xehanort point out that his heart is in Terra's? That's plot material right there. If it's still there somewhere, i doubt nomura will just let it rot there forever

This ..Plus the fact that Nomura himself pointed out to take special notice to where Eraqus 'fell' in his death scene

Well, that's the thing--Nomura decided to keep him alive and within Terra's heart instead of just letting him die, so there must be something to that,especially since it was mentioned in the talk between terra and Xehanort about who's in control. What it is, well, knowing Nomura it could be a while before it actually comes into play, but you never know.

Wait, if you can't change the flow of time then what's the point? I suppose I'll just have to wait and play the game to figure it out...I wasn't thinking of Eraqus doing anything big, just maybe subtly manipulating little things (ie maybe at points where mysterious light led them places)

I think its that you can only change things after the "present". The present is when MX is revived as obviously MX wants to be fully in control of a body. YMX cannot change time before ASoD visited him (as this would f*** things up) and he cannot change the defeat of Xemnas or else MX could not be brought back and Sora would not be the 13th vessel. Certain things need to happen in the past and time travellers can't change the present reality but can alter the future (or it seems like they are when in reality every time travel event was meant to happen including everything in KH3D and beyond). Time travelling people don't really have free will cos free-will only exists when you are limited by the passage of time.

 

So my theory is that every action of time travelling Norts appears to have the appearance of Free-will when it affects the future but in reality all actions result in a paradox and the destruction of the universe or are meant to happen. Whatever happens is meant to happen as all actions that aren't meant to happen won't happen (as its physically impossible). For example, YMX may help to defeat MX, but this still isn't free will; he was always meant to.

[Zanzetsuken 66]

But Eraqus' heart went into Terra's right?

 

Then he truly isn't just a heart but a heart that's also in a body, much like Ven's heart which is in Sora's.

 

So he can't truly travel unless he is out of Terra's body. But still, it's totally fine to say; 'yes he can' if he is just a wandering heart.

So, basically, it's sort of like the time paradox--time is already like it is because you went back in time in the first place? Sort of like Time Traveler's Wife (book, not so much the movie) or Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox (Oh, I love my obscure referenes...)

Yeah, Eraqus went into Terra, but...so far, it seems like that's done diddly squat. We don't really know what happened to Terra's or Eraqus' heart at this time, so...meh. It might be suspended in the realm of darkness or something like that.
