In order to understand "unbirth", we must first evaluate the meaning of "birth" Birth is the creation of a new being, thus, unbirth will be the reverse of birth, suggesting that something cannot be born. Such proposition leads back to the title of this plot "Birth by sleep".The title "Birth by sleep" illustrates that "something" is born via sleep. When we sleep, we tend to dream and most dreams are related to memories. Memories become the catalyst to trigger dreams during a sleep, therefore, the process of birth by sleep must follow this model: Birth by Sleep model Catalyst= Memories Sleep ------------------------> Dream ----------> New being created (Birth) Assuming my model is correct, then we can analysis and predict which being is created. We also assume "unbirths" are beings that lacks the fundamental elements of being a complete/human form, thus, the three elements are heart, soul/spirit and body. Heartless and nobodies does not exist during the BBS period. Heartless lack of hearts, nobodies lack of bodies. Therefore, unbirths must be lack of soul/spirit. Since I establish what this new type of enemy is lack of, I will proceed to their production method. Recall that Xigbar mention that there were many keybladers in the past but they all suddenly disappear many years ago. Furthermore, the keyblade graveyard suggest that there were many keybladers during the BBS period. Since BBS's main theme is about the origins of keyblade and the keyblade wielders, I assume that there is a relationship between both the unbirths and the keybladers. In BBS, normal people are taught by keyblade masters to become a keyblader through spiritual rather than physical training. Therefore, one must have a strong spiritual sense and heart to obtain the power of the keyblade. We are not told how humans manage to obtain the keyblade, it was assume that the keyblade chooses the rightful owner. However, when we look back at Sora and Roxas in KH and KH2, they were only able to use the keyblade by going through the station of calling and station of awakening (e.g. Sora's tutorial mode in KH1, and Roxas's tutorial mode in KH2. I realise there is actually 3 stations in each tutorial, but I don't actually know the station's name before the station of calling, thus, I will call it the station of sleep). By sleeping, both Roxas and Sora were able to enter the station of calling and station of awakening. Each station has a door which leads to the next station. Thus, the procedure of awakening the power of the keyblade should be as follow: Catalyst = Memories Sleep---------> Dream (Station of sleep ---------> Station of calling ---------> Station of awakening) ----> New being born In each station, we see platforms. In Sora's case, we saw snow-white and the other princesses, but in Roxas's case we saw Sora, Riku, Kairi, Donald and etc... Therefore, each person's station of sleep, calling and awakening is different from each other. Recall that nobodies don't have a heart, so Roxas enter these stations through Sora's memories. Thus, we can assume that memories are like data from a heart which can be extracted to become a vessel to take one into the stations. Furthermore, the phrases in KH2 further emphasis that memories are related to dreams: "A scattered dream that's like a far-off memory, a far-off memory that's like a scattered dream" Since heart is the essential element to wield the keyblade, and memories are like data in our heart. Thus, heart, keyblade, memories and dream are all interrelated. Therefore, each platform represents part of one's memories hence the stations are actually inside one's heart. In addition, in KH2's ending, Sora asked Riku if he knows where the door of light is and then Riku points at Sora's heart. This symbolises the door between each stations inside our heart. Now we will build this into our model Catalyst = Memories Sleep -------> Enters the heart -----> Extract Memories and process them -------> Dream (Station of sleep, calling and awakening -------> New being born (keyblader) Finally, how does one enter its own heart? First, from the recent scan translation I assume that the reason why keyblade masters taught its keyblade students in a spiritual way rather than a physical way, because one needs to feel the power insider one's heart before obtaining the power of the keyblade. I got this idea when Terra said: "(I can feel the pure light...) (After all, does this girl have a heart of pure light?)" We know we have to sleep in order to obtain the power of the keybladem but the problem is, how do we enter our heart. Lets consider the three fundamental components that make up a human: Heart, Body and Soul/Spirit. When we sleep, our body stays in reality obviously. Our destination is our heart. Therefore, we must use our spirit/soul to enter our heart. Thus, unbirth must have been the byproduct of not been able to reborn as a keyblader. We can assume that the soul/spirit is trapped inside one of the three stations, and whats left is the heart and body. Yes, this is it, I can't write anymore and I reckon it will be too hard to read if I write too much. I try my best to explain my theory, hope you enjoy
Its been a long time since I posted on kh-vid. Some old members might have read my other theories. After watching the new leaked trailer, I came up with a new theory about BBS's plot. Hope you guys enjoy Introduction My theory is based on the secret trailer of kh2fm+ and kh2, the new leaked trailer and magazine scans. I will discuss about the connections between Sora, Roxas, Ven, Terra and Master Xehanort and a timeline plot. Furthermore, I will discuss about Ven's, Aqua's and Terra's keyblades briefly. I will begin with the timeline plot I will use shorthand very often in this theory so I put a list of them up in the appendix part, but they are very commonly use on this forum. VAT= Ven, Aqua, Terra SRK= Sora, Riku, Kairi MX= Master Xehanort DS= Dark Soldier BBS= Birth by sleep COM= Chain of Memories SDG = Sora, Donald, Goofy KH = Kingdom Hearts Timeline plot Why do I call this a timeline plot? This idea came from the ending of kh2 and the secret trailer of kh2fm+. I assume everyone have seen these two short intriguing movies so I don't have to explain them. Official timeline KH:BBS----> KH1----> KH:COM---> (KH:358/2 or KH:coded)-----> KH2-----> ? My assumption on timeline Real KH:BBS------> KH1------> KH:COM------> (KH:358/2 or KH:coded)-----> KH2------> Altered KH:BBS------> KH3 Don't worry if you don't understand the timeline above, I'm about to explain it and my theory begins here. Originally, as we know the timeline of Kingdom hearts is like the diagram of the official timeline: KH:BBS leads to KH1 then KH:COM and etc... My theory on the plot begins here. Heartless cannot be completely destory as far as we realise by far in the series. No matter how many heartless SDG kills and the amount of keyholes they seal, heartless are there. As officially confirm in the past when KH:BBS was first announced, the new enemy is not heartless and heartless and nobodies never exist during that time. The origin of heartless, according to the KH series so far, began from Ansem's apprentices heart experiment on Xehanort. Xehanort's Memory Therefore, I predict that Mickey's letter is actually the key to unlock the plot of KH:BBS. Although there are no official confirms on the content of Mickey's letter, however, I believe Mickey inform SRK that he discovered a way to destory the heartless completely. In order to destroy heartless, the origin (Xehanort) must be destory. It could only be achieved through one method, which is to travel back to KH:BBS and prevent the real Master Xehanort to achieve his goal by fusing with Terra to create the Xehanort in the future. Xehanort's memory is the key to travel back to KH:BBS. I do have a theory on how they obtain Xehanort's memory but it is not supported by anything so I will not post it. The only assumption I have about the location of Xehanort's memory is inside "The Room of Sleep" which creates an artifical data world of BBS that provides a portal to the real BBS world. However, this cannot be proved from any evidence so far. This idea is also derived from the idea of the process of entering "The World That Never Was" in KH2. http://hk.youtube.com/watch?v=x0yxDmsjWAc&feature=related (I put this under the appendix list too along with other videos) Ven = Roxas= Sora Mickey cannot go back to the past, or else there will be two Mickey. Sora is chosen for this mission. Sora is put into sleep in "The Room of Sleep" and his heart is extracted and datalised. Since Sora's body is put into sleep the datalised heart takes the form of Roxas and is transfer to the memory of Xehanort which is the artifical world of BBS. This artifical world becomes a medium or portal that leads Roxas to the the real world of BBS. "Birth by sleep" is explained in this situation. Therefore, Ven was not suppose to appear in the original history of Kingdom Hearts. "Birth by sleep" can also be interpret as because of Sora's attempt to alter history, something was born in BBS which weren't suppose to happen. However, something went utterly wrong which cause Roxas/Sora/Ven to lose his memories You might wonder where I got this idea from, well remember from the new leaked trailer where we see Terra and Ven in Destiny Island's watching Riku and Sora. Its not that Terra is picking his successor, but it is actually Ven telling Terra who he really is after he recover his memories "We're friends Therefore I wanted to ask you something. Erase me" Ven tells Terra that he is not real and he realise that one day he will have to kill Terra since Master Xehanort fuses with Terra to create the Xehanort in the future. Therefore, he wants Terra to erase him. I guess I will leave it here for now, since I'm going to have dinner (very hungry after my 3hrs exam). More to come guys, but I hope you guys enjoy reading my theory so far and feel free to post any comments.
The New Enemy By cultivating darkness in one's heart, it will turn them into a heartless. However, both the soul and heart can be intentionally extracted from one's body. When the heart and soul combines it creates a new 'being'. But that 'being' cannot take in a physical form because it lacks of a body. The darkness in the heart creates a mere shell/layer which traps both the heart and soul. It is like Master Xehanort's apprentice, the dark riku outfit and the mask. This reinforce the idea why Master Xehanort's apprentice seems to come out of Master Xehanort's body in Kh2fm secret trailer Master Xehanort Master Xehanort (baldy) seeks power to surpass the limit of a normal keyblader, creates Kingdom Hearts from the princesses heart to extract the ultimate darkness. Since his old body is becoming fragile, he needs a new body as a vessel to travel that journey. This can be trace back to Kh1's 10th ansem report My body is too frail for such a journey, but I most do this. I believe the Ansem we see in Kh1 is Master Xehanort's heart so somehow he has the same intention of obtaining a vessel (Riku) to travel to the realm of darkness. Master Xehanort who orginally is a true keyblade wielder (he can wield keyblader with keychain) intend to take another true keyblader's body which is Ven. However, the process was interupted by Terra which accidently transform his heart and soul to Terra Aqua A princesses, also a keyblader and one of for Master Xehanort's apprentice. Master Xehanort sends her out to find the true keyblade wielder, which met up with Ven. Later, realised the true intention and goal of Master Xehanort. betrays him and help Ven and Terra Ven Ven the many few true keybladers, a rare species because most keyblade wielders at that time wield artifically created keyblades. Thic can be seen from the screenshot which Terra wears that mechanical armor on his left hand to summon the keyblade. However, he was unable to awaken his true power. After Xehanort kills Ven in the secret trailer, Aqua extracts his heart and soul and place them in Sora. So why does Ven look like Roxas, because when Sora stabs the keyblade into his heart, he releases Ven's heart and soul out. Explains the idea of "Birth by sleep", birth of a new keyblader (Sora) by putting Ven inside him which sleeps in the depth of his heart Terra One of the strongest and most intelligent keyblade wielder, but unforunately was not chosen by the keyblade. Became friends with Ven and try to save him from becoming a vessel of Xehanort. Unforunately, he became the vessel. Terra realise he cannot control Xehanort inside his body, stabs the keyblade into his heart. Xehanort heart, and Terra's body combine to form the Xehanort that Ansem the Wise met. While Terra's heart flows into Riku in order to protect Sora.
Does anyone here knows how to level up limit form? I try fighting heartless, nobodies, collecting all those green and yellow bubbles but it still doesn't work. i try it in boss fights and mushroom, so I wonder how I can level that up.
