On September 3rd, 2015, Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ was released in Japan. It has been 1 year since then, and with that, Tetsuya Nomura, director of the Kingdom Hearts series, has drawn some new artwork featuring Skuld, Ephemer, and Ventus. The artwork also includes two mysterious characters. You can check it out below.

 

 

Tetsuya Nomura also included a message with his artwork:

 

It's been one year? Thank you for the one year anniversary. With the various announcements brewing, please continue to enjoy. @Nomura #KHUX

Who do you think is the two mysterious characters in the artwork? Do you like the artwork? Let us know in the comments below!

It looks like there's also supposed to be two other characters in there...I wonder who they're supposed to be...

 

Also, it seems like more and more that Ventus is supposed to play some role in Unchained X, but what is that supposed to be exactly? I guess we'll find out in due time.

[Joker 1,560]

Yeah no Ven defintly played a role in their stories, im very positive that he already met Skuld and Ephemra by BBS

[RikuFangirl2008 1,368]

I think this artwork is foreshadowing something big! O.O 

 

There's 2 hidden characters. And we know about Ventus, Ephemer, and Skuld.

 

Well for Ventus, we don't know his role yet. I guess he might meet Skuld and Ephemer in Unchained and Maleficent might do something dark in Unchained?

 

But going back to those 2 hidden characters. I wonder who they are... Nomura loves to tease us! LOL

Looks like Ven has a haircut to me. a way to differentiate Ven & Roxas maybe?

[catmaster0116 2,676]

Ven looks...different

I like the new short hair-cut tho

 

I wonder who the other 2 are?

[Moochieh32 676]

I'm really wondering who those 2 other sketches are supposed to be now...

[Salve-SiS 125]

Ven looks younger. Dandelion Ven confirmed?

DANDELIONS!!!

[Guest]

Those two characters in the left hand side are probably symbolic of the other Dandelions because they have no definitive features as they're not key characters like Ventus, Skuld and Ephemer. This picture only strengthens the theory of Ventus as a Dandelion.

looks like the PR guy yanked the paper out from under Nomura's pen before he could finish

[Moochieh32 676]

I knew it was a younger Ventus. So basically, with that theory, the process of him aging slowed down due to becoming a dandelion? If this becomes true, mind blown tbh lol

It is likely they will appear on the title menu of Back Cover.

[Kingdomhe 1,362]

I think those two faceless characters are the male and female avatars.

Only nomura can take something like this and blow up the hype.

[MasterLorX 43]

I'm so confused, it seems like Ventus is somehow connected to Skuld and Ephemer but is it even possible??

If Ventus really is a dandelion then why does he reappear in BbS?

so many questions...

[Zerrick 43]

Sometimes you have to ask yourself as a kingdom hearts fan...is it okay to experience so many mindfooks at once. If Ventus turns out to be a dandelion...not only just a dandelion, but the actual player character them self, then I don't know what to say.

i dont know if you guys mention this yet there are five people in the drawings like they repesent the five unions in a way two mystery might be acer ursus union and anguis invi union while ven repesent gula Leopardosunion, skuld repesent ava vulpes union, and ephermer repesent ira Unicornis union

 

five people five unions

this is so cool is that veutus or roxas i think it ventus

[DoDo4869 301]

It's like Ventus took our place as the main charakter in X, he is always there where our charakter would most likely fit... .propably just a coincidence ^^

[Jake 1,488]

I'd like to note that Tetsuya Nomura confirmed that Ventus *is* canon to KHX / KHUX.

Skuld and Ephemer are in the same Union.

[keyslinger 307]

I have a feeling those are either Terra and Aqua or just some generic characters.

i just noticed that Ven doesn't have his Keyblade Armor activation button

The plot thickens...

That must have been handed to him by Master Eraqus. Ventus' originating from the X era makes total sense considering Ven's connection with the Keyblade Graveyard.
