Every Time Luxu Breaks Character as Xigbar 

In the Final Mix cutscene in 2, Xigbar reveals he recruited Marluxia. Him implanting Traitors to make the first Organization fail, (because he knows Lauriam and what he wanted).

"Like you're worthy to wield one." "Oh, I am worthy." That exchange had me confused a little in 3.

Luxu really did inherit MoM's troll spirit

Actually, Xigbar freaks out during Sora "My friends..." in Dream Drop because he just realized that Sora and Riku are the Child of Destiny. He is afraid because he realized the Master of Masters was right. All Luxu's "betrayals" were scripted by the Master from the get go, and he got played. This is why , despite not have that Book now, in KH3, he know exactly what Sora and Riku are going to do. He has accepted Destiny.

That moment when you realize that when Xigbar was "dying" in KH3 he left his arrowguns behind. Symbolizing that from here on out he is Xigbar/Braig no more. Since the next time we see him, he reveals his true identity.

There was the line where he flat out told Sora and Riku he IS worthy of a keyblade. No idle boast there.

As an adult now, some of xigbars words hit way harder. Hercules told Xigbar that he was able to save megs life by being ready to give up his own. And Xigbar reminded him that the only reason it worked out was because he's the child of a God and for regular people that wouldn't have ever worked out because they don't have those ties. And then after being defeated in kh3 he says "if i had a keyblade it would be different" which reminds me of being a person in power/having personal ties to the winning team and that most people in the world don't have that. Most people in this world won't be a Sora or his friends, they will most likely be a nobody.

Luxu is almost like the Revolver Ocelot of Kingdom Hearts: -Both use guns as their main weapon -Both are always close to the main antagonist -Both have secret agendas -and they play both sides to achieve their own goal

What's really insane about Luxu is that he's spent an untold number of years perfecting his craft. To the point, that when he does break character, it's a shock for anyone keen enough to see. It's almost like he's pulling off a gruff Master of Masters skit - especially with all the exaggerated movements he employs.

I still think the reason "My friends are my power" scared Luxu so much was because its a way of thinking that is completely opposite both what he and the MoM does. They manipulate everyone around them for their goals, while Sora acts as an anchor that unites people for a common goal. A goal that he likely doesn't want to see happen

I love that based on behaviors. Ventus is just as much of a ghost to Luxu as Luxu is to everyone else. This next arch is going to be wild.

Let's remember that Luxu's role was to "Watch" but dang, he sure is interfering here. No wonder he's the Traitor.

You forgot the iconic “I’m already half xehanort”

SPOILER... In Dark Road it is revealed that Xehanort's classmate Bragi is actually the vessel of Luxu. So he's been watching him for ages.

I could be wrong but I think Luxu knows everybody except Demyx and Luxord, but there's theories based on the fact that Demyx's reports says he was hanging with the "old guy". Xigbar is not young, so it may be him that demyx was talking about. Maybe Luxu was trying to figure demyx out in order to narrow things down a bit

Luxu is by far one of my favorite characters in the KH series. I know he is thousands of years old with the many bodies he lived in, time does change us. It makes me feel bad for him of laying in the shadows to fulfilling his role given to him by MOM, eveb during Dream Drop Distance when Sora said my friends are my power, he got shocked and scared, it reminded him of who he once was that he misses so much: his Foreteller friends.

Luxu is so cool, why he gotta do that with the eye brows

What's interesting to think about is that Luxu was there to watch Ventus when he was a Union Leader, even paying particular attention to Ven because he wasn't meant to be a Union Leader. While it's no mutual, he knows Ven very well, better than Ven knows himself. So that could be why he singled out Ven, Xion, and Sora with the "angry look" comment and subtle hints about prior Keyblade Wielders. He could be prodding their Memories and Hearts for some kind of reaction related to Ven's time as a Union Leader. It's also probably why he sees Ven when he looked at Xion. Xion was at the point where her appearance reflected the part of Sora's heart that resonated most with them, and considering Luxu has known Ventus for centuries, it makes sense that Ven was who he saw. Speaking of Memories, I wonder if Namine will ever restore or reawaken Ven's lost memories. If not Namine, then maybe his Chirithy.

Now make every time Demyx did MoM gestures Jokes aside, Nomura is the kind of guy that loves to plant plot seeds, great video

Luxu: Lemme just kickstart all of the major events of this universe. Smells like Aizen in here.

I like the quote in game that he says when you defeat him in kh2. In game, when the action stops, the level up message pops up, but before the cuts scene. He says: I LOST?! ME?!

While it's safe to say none of these were planned (except obviously the one in KH3 and *maybe* the one in Dream Drop), it is interesting to see that Luxu does fit in as part of Xigbar's quirks.

Luxu/Xigbar is a better manipulator than Xehanort

Luxu/Xigbar are so convoluted and diabolical, it hurts! But what I love so much about them is he makes it look like he's having so much fun. Not particularly the journey he takes, but the act of manipulating others. He has a gift for it. He's like the anime character that knows everything that will happen, right, so he just does whatever he wants, because he knows what to say and what to do to get it. Well...except in Sora's case. I guess he underestimates him or something? Still not too sure. But all in all, great stuff!

"Luxord, if you will, takes one to no one." Two out of place agents with their own missions both in the Organization. It really shouldn't be surprising that it was Lux who caught Lu first.

good video. can’t wait to see what nomura has in store for kh4 and luxu and the MoM

“Close to 100 years” Hasn’t it been, like, way longer than that? That’s what it seems like to me.

*Xigar* from "Kingdom Hearts" = *Ocelot* from "Metal Gear"

They're were soooo many in 358/2 days that got cut out of the "movie" version

I wonder if Luxu also recognized Ventus as one of the plays Ava made to throw MoM’s ploy, not just during his time during BBS. So he prob remembered him since all the way back in KHUX.

🎶Who's been messing up everything? It’s been Xigbar all along! Who’s been pulling every evil string? It’s been Xigbar all along!🎶

A cool idea I have for a fight against Luxu in future KH games; since Axel, after getting a keyblade, can use both his chakrams and his keyblade... why can't Luxu do the same? Imagine that, holding a keyblade over his should in one hand and one of his guns in the other, combining deadly close-ranged attacks and tricky attacks from afar to catch you off guard... I'm also willing to bet that the Master's keyblade is capable of something that only Luxu and the Master himself knows about that he would probably use in the fight too.

6:40 I believe that Luxu wasn't expecting Sora's words get to him because it leads the whole "Why am I doing this for" kind of thoughts. But I got to admit that part where Xemnas looking a little smug after that speech, I just love it. If anything, Xemnas might not have trust Xigbar all that much. In fact, I believe the MoM chose Xehanort to start his path. Maybe Xehanort/Xemnas, Sora, and Luxord are the only people that Luxu can't predict. This leads to my thoughts on Xemnas gathering those 4 Organization members. When Xigbar and Luxord were talking about the box, Xigibar figured out Luxord went to Xemnas first before confronting him. I don't think he anticipated someone seeing through his BS. That leads to Xemnas getting Marluxia, Larxene, Demyx and Luxord to unlock their memories. He doesn't know about the ancient Keyblade War from Xigbar, at least not all of it. No, the info he got it by his Master, the info when Young Xehanort went to the future but it was etched into his heart and the MoM. Luxu played a part to watch Xehanort and his Keyblade, nothing more. Like Master Xehanort said "Destiny is never left to chance." In that vain, Xemnas didn't want Xigbar's plans mess with his resolve as well as Sora's. In other words, Luxu doesn't want Sora back but Master Xehanort does. He trust himself more than Xigbar.

I believe that Zexion also had his suspicions about Xigbar considering that one scene in KH2FM with the organization’s past. Zexion’s a sharp one, so I believe he also suspected something was off with Xigbar at the time.

Its good of Goro Majima to spice up a whole other series

i like how "xigbar" throws himself off the cliffside to make it seem like hes all finished with so nobody knows whats really up

I love going back to theories about Luxu. I always told people before KH3 came out that Xigbar knew too much, and he has to have a bigger motive within the game. One thing I think is a possibility, Luxord's trump card he gave to Sora has to do with Luxu or the box. We still don't even know if Luxu simply transfers his soul to a new body, like he did with Brain, or if Xigbar is just an older version of Brain.

That squint at 5:27 is definitely in retaliation to calling the keyblade the most ancient of them all. Now knowing what we do now, seeing as Xehanorts Keyblade is actually luxu's that high school was most likely him saying "are you calling me old?"

I also love that when he talk about soemone without naming him, what he say can talk about 2 different person and make sense both way. The last one for example: "the old coot promised to bequeath me his". This line make sens if he talk about the "Braig / Xehanort" relationship, with the deal between them beiing the keyblade. But also relate to Luxu/MoM deal about the black box.

He was always a personal favorite adversary in the games for me, so now knowing his role makes me wonder, how much has he been holding back in all of his fights. I hope if we confront him again, he still have a similar fighting style, but more extreme. He was always fun no matter which you fight.

I always find it funny everyone from Sora's party think Xigbar is unworthy of the keyblade while Xehanort is busy using MoM's keyblade that was handed down to Luxu.

100 years? The age at which Ephemer died is considered an advanced age, plus the age of the player from missing link to DR and plus the age at which Xehanort died. Luxu has been hiding its age for more than 300 years.

6:45 Rare footage of Xigbar shrinking and turning into a corncob.

For years he played the part of a fool, and near the end, he nearly broke character cause he was so happy his job was nearly finished.

Greatttt video, it’s nice to be reminded how instrumental he is. Literally there for almost all of it

I'm more curious about Luxord and Demyx though. In KH3 it was mentioned they were chosen to be brought back to the new Organisation due to their involvement in the Union X storyline. We know who Marluxia and Larxene truly are from Union X but we saw no Luxord and Demyx. Also curious as to what happened to Brain and Skuld.

Aaaaaaand that’s how you secure a new sub. Good job my man. Keep it up.

I love it when my favorite RU-vidr uploads!!!

KH2: "You may think I'm any old dude..." Me after 3: "No, they couldn't..." KH2: "Yep, nothing 'any old' about me!" Me: "... NO"

I like the part where He says "Gee...I just don't know...." with an exaggerated pose. I think that one should've been included in the list. the way he says it and his sarcastic pose heavily implies his knowledge on everything going on as if he's trying to get Sora to put 2 and 2 together.

This theory relies a lot on luxu always being braig from the first time we met him however there is no evidence of such. The only change we see in briag was in bbs when his eyes went from brown to yellow. Most players assumed he was norted but that could also be where luxu actually became involved. Remember as of now we have no def timeline on when luxu became braig or if we ever had a braig to begin with.

I was waiting for someone to make this video. Thank you! I always found Luxu sus throughout the entire franchise.

What I just realized that he's the master of Xehanort and Eraquis, which means he was able to reincarnate somehow, and Xehanort tried the same by taking over Terras body. So does this mean he took over other people's bodies, too?

I'm a simple man I see another kh creator that's actually fire I subscribe

it's just crazy that at the time of all these scenes nobody thought anything of it until we got Luxu plot drop then everyone was like hold up did these mean something actually?

I mean there is the part where you hear him say “May your heart be your guiding key.”

So, I actually don't think Braig was Luxu'd when he first encountered Terra. I think it happens sometime when he's in recovery after taking the dark fire to the face. Why? Because when Aqua questions who is is when he shows up in the Keyblade GY, he smirks and the camera zooms to focus on his good eye. Also in dream drop, when Sora has his little talk with Xigbar, he claims that "[He's] already half Xehanort." Meaning that he's half something else. Someone else's heart is there and it's certainly not Braig's. There's probably more, but those are the two big ones that come to mind.

i saw Xigbar, i clicked, i discover a kh channel, i subscribe, i am now happy

Xigbar is my favorite Org member wven beating Xemnas who has the best bossfight in KH history in my opinion. The reveal of him being luxu made him even more exciting to me wvwn though it can be seen as a after thought and wasnt even planned from the beginning. But it made in a retrospective view the scene in BBS kinda funny as Xehanort holds the Keyblade to his neck that technically is Xigbar/Luxu keyblade.

You forgot one When you defeat xigbar in kh2 and the slow motion affects the screen before the cinematic enters, xigbar says: I LOST?! ME?! That was back in 2006, and made me think xigbar was bigger than he looks like.

You definitely missed his biggest tell to the audience, the utterance of "May your heart be your guiding key." Aqua notes in 0.2 that the phrase is ancient and has long fallen out of use, and Mickey tells her that he heard it from Yen Sid, who we have no feasible fix on the age of, but if he knows it, and repeats it often, then it had to have still been in favor as late as Scala ad Caelum's height. Xigbar's use of the phrase is a dead giveaway that his knowledge of the Age of Fairytales goes beyond just knowing about the Keyblade War.

I think RU-vid wants me to subscribe, I've never watched your videos, but for the past few weeks RU-vid continues to reccomend you.

Only 100 years. You are significantly underselling the length of time Luxu was hiding.

... nomura revelead in a interview that xigbar being luxus was a after thought, so no ... the scenes from him before don't show anything, cause nomura himself had thought anything yet.

I can handle them retconning Ansem's name in KH2, but this crosses the line.

Wait a second i just realize. Luxu always sees the same face when he looks at Sora and his counterparts. What face does he see ? "Who" always looked at him like that when angry ? Who is relevant enough for Luxu that said face is that relevant and memorable for him ? What if Sora really is the reincarnation of the Master of Masters ? Luxu is the only one who knows his face after all. And everything Luxu did leads back to Sora. The whole "face thing" seems like foreshadowing. Sora must be someone Luxu knows very well.

In the words of Luxu himself: That clever little sneak!

Jujutsu Kaisen spoilers You know, when you really think about it, Luxu was the og Kenjaku

"this man revealed himself" re kh2 scene - bologna. he was obviously taunting Sora by referencing Roxas, like every other org member had. I don't believe for a moment that Luxu, the Foretellers, or the Master of Master were even a twinkle in Nomura's eye when that scene was written.

Me: I give on up kingdom hearts Xigbar walking pass by me

I just wanna let yall know that I literally predicted that Xigbar was Luxu YEARS before it happened.

Your first point, is given context since he fought Terra...in birth by sleep...

There is a scene where Xigbar is talking to Zexion in KH2 (which took place before to KH1's events) re-watching it after both KH3 AND Dark Road has made it see it in a totally new perspective. Looking back at it now, Xigbar was most likely lurking Zexion into a trap, trying to find out if he or any other member could be 2nd "Baldr", observing Xehanort's nobody as he acts while looking for any darkness being that might interfere in the most critical situation, one that allows Xigbar/Luxu to finish his role and get back the "No-Name" keyblade sooner than ever. He already experienced stuff, in "Union x" - "Missing-Link" - "Dark Road", he's not gonna sit back this time until he makes sure everything is going according to plan. I also can't get over the fact that it was HIM to brought Marluxia into the organization, makes me wonder what he planned by that move.

Some of these are pretty clear, but like half of them feel like reaches.

The subscribe button shone with multiple colors the moment you mentioned it in the video...interesting

Luxu or Xigbar acts like a True Sith Lord.

I kinda know kh2, but now I would like to play the rest of the games to have the feel for the story myself, so what games I should play? And how, because I got no portables? I don't know about the tube videos going through the story as the trend is to play off the game as frustrating, or so...

Throughout KH II and Dream Drop, Xigbar always gave me a weird feeling. Like he knew way more than he was letting on. And I don’t mean just about the big bad’s plans. He always felt… out of place in a way. Like he knew something nobody else did. Now we know what that was.

"Me!? I'm already half Xehanort 😂

I bet everytime Luxu just looked at Xehanort who possessed Terra, he was just thinking, "Man, if i had my keyblade, I'd be beating the hell out of him for taking my eye."

I also remember that in 358/2 Days he called Roxas 'tiger'. I wonder if it was because Roxas somehow reminded him of Gula (who wears leopard mask)?

Kingdom Hearts is gonna be Naruto at this point MoM = Tobi/Obito, he's gonna be a controversial character that divides the fanbase trying to unravel his identity and his real identity is gonna end up being someone wild as hell like Demyx Luxu = Black Zetsu, has his own intentions that are (probably) bigger than the MoM, but for now just an observer. (unrelated) Xehanort = Pain/Nagato, he's the way he is because of trauma in his younger life also there's several versions of him acting as a unit

When Luxu talked to Ventus and said he wasn't a true keyblade master but he does have the look down I think he was referring back to the Keyblade War Ventus as he probably had more skill then current Ventus.

I wonder...if Luxu had failed to weaken Xemnas' Organization, would it change anything of his Master's plan ? I certainly hope so. I'm a big fan of that concept of using your own darkness, like Riku was supposed to do, for a while.

I have a question about Luxu. Several question actually, but that can be summarized into that one: How does his reincarnation thing work? I recall Union X ending says Brain was his first reincarnation, but Brain was his own person before that, right? Is it the case for each of his reincarnations, and each time he empersonates them? When, how and why does he choose his next vessel? What becomes of the vessel once Luxu takes them, do they still exist, are they fused with Luxu, or do they just die? What does it imply for Luxu's character and evolution? Will it have consequences in a future plot twist? Will we see Luxu have to get a new vessel later in the story? I just went from confusion to hype in my curiosity... So, do someone want or can answer or discuss these questions?

Replaying KH3 on Steam, I never had the Remind DLC on Xbox so I don't know if that's part of the DLC or always been there but Luxu says after you Mount Olympus, he says, "Let your heart be your guiding key"

With how many weird scenes Xigbar had I am suprised no one thought he was acting strange until it was revealed he was Luxu. Especially in KH3 when he said he is worthy of a keyblade and in the other games when he talks about how Ventus and Sora respectively already have the look of keyblade wielders. Pretty strange things to say when he apparently doesn't have a keyblade

So you're saying that some of those aren't planned by Luxu himself, but literal slips because of how he wants "No Name" back? Before I thought this was because of how he thought because of Xehanort's Keyblade was the oldest it was the strongest Keyblade (Other than the X-Blade, of course) in existence.

At this point every plot element is gaslighting the player, implying there is a deep story, when in reality it only will lead, in the end, to another dude in the same black hooded robe like the 20+ before him. There is no intricate thoughts or a plan, just the attempt to make it look like that before they contradict themselves again or make it more convoluted with no in game character ever questioning how any of this is remotely possible. Kingdom Hearts has become the Riverdale of gaming.

This is a cool video and shows how closely you pay attention to Luxu. Keep it up 👍🏻

When "Xigbar" was talking about "the old coot", he wasn't referring to Xehanort. He was referring to the Master of Masters.

I have the sneaky suspicion that luxu is in just the nobody of a master of masters

I wonder what happened to Luxu between KH chi back cover and KH3. His personality is completely different between the two.

now imagine MOM and xigbar having a conversation with their attitude and comedy compared to Version 1 luxu i sense comedy gold in action

The Weapons of the Organisationen 13 are from Quadratum😮

Make sure to pet the cats when your inside my house. There friendly 😂

Just musing here: The Master of Masters put his eye in No Name, right? Do we know of any other character in the series who is missing an eye? Then again, the eye is blue... Everyone has blue eyes in KH: Riku, Sora, Kairi, Roxas, Xion, Axel, Naminé... except for Braig who had brown eyes.

Kingdom Hearts has a surprising amount of storytelling techniques commonly used in mature (actual mature, not modern definition) fiction…especially considering the surface theme is kids vs adults

I just wanna know how he fuses himself to people I can’t wait to learn about that

4:29 This is the first I’m learning that KH2 was the original game.
