King.Mickey 359 Posted January 29, 2014 After realizing that Vanitas and Ven were merged at the time that he defeated him, and that Ven's heart now rests in Sora, I just thought of this. What if waking up Ven also wakes up Vanitas, but he clings onto Sora? He might not have totally died, and he's had all this time to heal; he's just temporarily asleep like Ven if it's true. And I'm pretty sure he'd be able to leave Ven at will. It would be an interesting twist... 4 Reflet, MasterRoxas13, Reyn and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elijah Gravenhorst 480 Posted January 29, 2014 They didn't merge. Vanitas was destroyed when he was defeated and that's why Ventus needed Sora in order to survive. 1 Hero of Winds reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rikunobodyxiii 700 Posted January 29, 2014 While it would be interesting for Vanitas to return in that way, I highly doubt it would happen since what happened at the end of DDD. 1 King.Mickey reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe one day, we'll see another Vanitas in terms of what he is. But the Vanitas we know is gone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the Vanitas we know is gone. Watch the next KHIII trailer having Vanitas meeting Sora as the first thing shown. Well, Ventus survived. Maybe Vanitas survived as a side-effect of Ventus surviving. We know that the heart connection thing influenced Vanitas enough to change his face. And if Ven's heart could react in a way that made Vanitas overlay Xehanort for a second, then maybe it could also mean that Vanitas is still around. It wouldn't be the first time a scene has more than on meaning. I'm sure we'll see Vanitas again in KHIII. Nomura's statement about KHIII being a summation of everything in the franchise so far, seems to me like he's also willing to bring Vanitas back, or using the Unversed, which would require bringing Vanitas back.

Isamu Kuno 2,512 Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) They were only partially merged, then there's the Riku-Vanitas theory which basically states that it's possible Vanitas merged with Riku at the same time Ven merged with Sora, which, given Riku's struggle with Darkness, I think would be more interesting. Something like "So, you want to drag me into the darkness too. Well, I've go news for you, this Darkness is mine, and I'm returning it to Light. Now go away." to show that he's finally broken free of his past. Sora will never go Dark side ever, that's just not in his nature. But that's not to say Vanitas can't return as himself.

Ooh I like the idea of a Riku/Vanitas thing. That would make things even more interesting then they are now. Oh and ya I agree with most people, Sora/Vanitas, yaaaa, not happening.

That would sort of make sense why Riku's dark outfit looks so similar... But who knows at this point, really. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's so bad about Vanitas? Too cliche? I think this idea would be awesome. Sora is too fukcing goody-ass two shoes all the time. We need a change of pace for ONCE.

Except that someone getting possessed in Kingdom Hearts by someone from the Dark side isn't really a change of pace. Mostly, I don't find Vanitas threatening or capable enough of possessing the guy with the strongest heart and sense of will in the series. Vanitas track record of victories is laughably short, and if suddenly he's able to take down the protaganist just like that, it would be absurd.

John TheDon Horton 40 Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) No Vanitas can't do that i don't think that won't happen because Sora is going to be The Protagonist of Kingdom Hearts III. Edited February 2, 2014 by John TheDon Horton Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know it probably won't happen, but just because he's the protagonist doesn't mean it's impossible. If it did happen, we could just play as Mickey/Riku/Kairi until they save him.
