    I think the MoM has made this building his home. since his disappearance and reappears only when necessary (Guiding Young Xehanort for example) and when the plan is ready to go from Luxu he'll come back to the main KH universe.
    P.S. If that building is a fashion building, then that has to mean the MoM has the same amount of drip that Nomura has under the black coat.

    Just as an observation I made when the Master of Masters is talking to Ira he says "If one day I suddenly Disappear im counting on you to keep the others calm ok?"
    Ira says "Disappear?"
    MoM replies "vanish, DIM FADE? I dunno how to explain it..."
    Odd choice of words DIM & FADE... they're words you'd equate to a Light that DIMS OR FADES. Then there's the scene with MoMs and young Xehanort.
    Here's a theory... the MoM isn't just an Avatar of Light imo I think he's one of the original lights of which there were 7, Along with 13 Darknesses.

      @@TheFixer_1 Duality's comment does make sense... I think they're implying that perhaps the MoM and the "nameless star" are the same type of being. Maybe the "nameless star" is also one of the original 7 and that is why the MoM has traveled to this place. He could be planning to either regroup the original 7 or maybe something more sinister like absorb the other members of the 7. This also adds to the idea that the MoM is a being made of light because the laws of time travel dictate that you cannot travel to a time where you (or a version of you) don't exist. Theoretically, he would be able to time travel to any time in which light exists, and if that same logic applies to reality jumping, he would be able to easily jump to the reality of the "nameless star" because light exists in that place. (or maybe because the "nameless star" and the MoM are both made of light and are "versions" of each other)

    Kingdom Hearts Theory I cam up with.
    So I was thinking about “what if Ephemer was Sora’s dad” (don’t ask) and I was thinking up scenarios to explain why Ephemer could not be there, and I thought “what if Ephemer’s heart was stolen and placed in a different body, and it does not have Ephemer’s memories” (not really thinking about how that would produce a Nobody) And then I thought what if that’s what happened to Yozora. So the Nameless Star said “he’s been changed beyond recognition” well having your heart stolen and having it placed in a new body sounds like being “ changed beyond recognition” and “his heart replaced by another’s” well that could mean his heart us to belong to him but now it belongs to someone else. And “but, were he to regain his old self again, he would be distressed by my absence.” Implies that he isn’t himself, maybe implying that he’s now someone else, and that the someone else doesn’t have Yozora’s memories. I don’t know gets my own little theory.

  • @DisastrousCake

    I don't know if you've mentioned this in a video yet as this one is a bit old, but the 104 on the building in Shibuya crossing is actually a 109 in real life. The only other instance it's shown as a 104 is in TWEWY. This means that Sora, Yozora, Riku, and MoM are somehow all in the world of TWEWY? Could just be a clever easter egg though.
    Also Yozora's name in Japanese means Night Sky much like Sora's sky and the sky observation deck. But I'm sure you already know this since you've made your video on him that I still need to check out 😅

    What if Master of Masters is actually Tesuya Nomura himself?

      essentially, yeah :)

    Master of master name is light. I'm honestly going to be deflated if nomera makes master of masters God. It would be just... cliche.

    Interesting but the real question is who is MoM?

    MoM is a square dev gone rogue. KH has been nothing but a video game created in quadratum🤔

    I don't know if they're smart enough for this theory

    when you zoom in on 4:41and look at the left skyscraper and put the quality higher it actually somewhat looks like that master of masters is standing next to the left red light.

    this video made me think even more that master of master atleast has the name sora.
    why else would he stand there? becouse he thinks its a funny coincidence?
    also yozora was supposed to save someone named sora but apparently sora looks different?
    did the master of master die intentionally while saying his name is sora so that the original sora would be saved?
    i fail to see the logic here. either mom is saving sora or he is sora himself
