Hey, guys. I'm kinda new here so I may as well introduce myself. My name is Alexander Cayford, been a fan of the series since day one, I'm not afraid to admit that the series canon is too nonsensical and convoluted for its own good. Thus I shall detail a special theory which corresponds to the whole Re-Incarnation Theory that's been going around the fandom. In this video is a brief recap of the theory in question as well as my own addtionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d41xIgxhHgTo sum up, the Master of Masters Split the sixth foreteller's emotions into five more foretellers and they re-incarnated into the gaurdians of light while the sixth foreteller would re-grow into a new and original person by the name of Ephemera before biting the bullet and splintering even further, with his memories refining over several decades into a brand new heart free of the body's light and darkness that had become Eraqus and Xehanort respectively. In other words, this means Xehanort's quest to forge the x-blade with the seven lights and thirteen darknesses is subconciously a means for him to round up all the shards of his former self and re-unite into that one person. Convoluted, yes. But it makes sense with the context foreshadowed with the character arcs of Repliku and Xion dealing with a desire to be their own selves and the lore of the Kingdom Hearts universe stating that Vanitas wanted to rejoin Ven out of a desire to be complete once more.It's sad because it means that sooner or later within Kingdom Hearts III, the entire cast is going to have to fuse back into this one being, Sora, Xehanort, Eraqus, Terra, Ven, Aqua, Riku and Kairi... Leaving King Mickey with this Stranger of a newcomer. Hence why I believe this stranger will be the cause of a full-on continuity Reboot of the Franchise since Nomura said that Sora will be the main protagonist of the franchise until its inevitable end. And since Sora's going to end up joining his heartmates Roxas, Xion and Vanitas in some other dude's heart. Either this is a loophole to pass the torch to a new guy, or the aforementioned new guy's going to recreate the cast in the new world sans the Memories of the tragic fates that befell them.
