I'm pretty sure it was on kh2.uk somewhere either in Nomura's blog, his comment in the latest issue of a japanese magazine that featured birth by sleep, or somewhere in the text of the magazine layout.
Hmmmmm Something tells me that Nomura isn't exactly a "long lost brother" type. Idk though, you could be right. *shrugs* i guess we'll just have to find out
Wow this is all so crazy =O. I cannot wait to find out the truth behind it all! I recognized Riku's fighting mannerisms in Vanitas right away. I completely hadn't noticed his outfit is exactly like Heartless Riku's until then. lol. But when i saw that left handed way he held the keyblade and the little hand wavy thing I jumped out of my chair and screamed "RIKU!!!!!!!!!!". lol. But after a millisecond I realized that the voice coming from the character soooo did not belong to Mamoru, therefore there was no way it could be Riku *Asides from the facts that he was like 5 back then, there's no way he'd return to the darkness, and wtc would be he doing at that place*
I think something happened to Ven when he was 'erased'. I don't wanna say that his heart ended up in Sora because that's a stretch. I mean how many hearts can the kid hold inside of him for pete's sake! I also don't think Vanitas is related to Riku.
I'm starting to kinda think that Vanitas is a puppet Master Xehanort made of himself *kinda like the organization made Xion so they could have another keyblade*. So then we could assume that puppets of Master Xehanort have those sort of mannerisms and outfits. So when Riku Becomes a puppet of Xehanort in the 1st game, he too adapts those mannerisms *then again Riku had the same fighting stance in the beginning of the game if you chose to fight him. and back then he had no connection to Xehanort*
Oh yeah, and I think Master Xehanort is Xehanort. Well, I think Terra obviously becomes xehanort, but I think somehow Master xehanort is using him as a puppet. Like.... idk. While Xehanort looks a lot like Terra, i think he still reeks of Master Xehanort. Idk... i guess I don't really know what I'm talking about. Ignore me.
