Seekers of Darkness

[Shimmy 458]

Alright as far as personal observations go:

Vanitas is essentially confirmed at this point. And I'm just sayin' that I don't trust Luxord at all. Or Demyx. As far as I'm confirmed Demyx is very observant as a master of recon and realized he had a heart prior to anyone else. I don't think this guarantees him as a candidate but I see no reason of writing him off already.

Also while I don't think he's guaranteed a spot among the seekers, I personally find it silly to dismiss Marluxia as a possibility seeing as how Xemnas's "weakness of trust"  line has already proven to be hot bullshit. Saïx's coup d'état says hi. 

 

I have no real firm opinions on possible seeker candidates besides Vanitas however. I do find it interesting though that Dilan and Even never broke free of their comatose state in DDD combined with the fact that Xemnas mentioned specific plans for Vexen and Xaldin's obvious inclusion in meetings. I personally don't see them as vessels but I definitely think there is connection of some sort going on.

Food for thought.

Those are very good points to consider. Come to think about it, weakness of trust can be interpreted in more ways than one, it's easy to assume that weakness of trust immediately means that, the failed candidates betrayed Xemnas full stop, however, I don't think it's as simple as that. I think weakness of trust has got more to do with who's most trustworthy to be a loyal Xehanort vessel in the context of submitting themselves to Xehanort.

 

For example, Marluxia may have despised Xemnas, but if he were to meet Young Xehanort, he wouldn't really consider the two beings one and the same. Plus, we know nothing about Marluxia's somebody. A somebody's life is drastically different from their nobody's life, for example...Lea's friends are Isa and Ventus. Axel's friends are Roxas and Xion. Axel remembers Roxas because his somebody retains his nobodies memories. 

 

Considering that, it's entirely likely that Marluxia's somebody was collaborating with a version of Xehanort (most likely Young Xehanort) and decided to become a Xehanort for the same initial reason as Braig, so he can get himself a Keyblade. Plus, Marluxia never outright admitted to Xemnas that he was going to betray him either so he can easily assimilate himself in a new Organization where Xemnas isn't number 1.

 

So yeah, don't count Marluxia out just yet.
