kingdom hearts theory with full series spoilers below. I literally created a podcast so I could talk about stuff like this but we are so so so far away from dark road and I gotta get this out
I know "everyone is xehanort" is a huge meme but when I watch dark road I am like. so convinced riku is xehanort. in some capacity. there's so many connections between them, thematic and extremely literal, and xehanort's comment to eraqus about wanting "thirteen lives to change the world, plus a fourteenth to see it." silver haired keyblade wielder from the destiny islands with a strong belief in light but an affinity for darkness. that's xehanort to me
