and Xehanort, being Xehanort, decided that since Glinda couldn't be a recusant, she could be one of the seven lights since she would be more than happy to join the fight against Evanora for what she did to Theodora. At first she tried to make Glinda into a recusant, but when that failed, turned to Theodora. When the necklace comes off, it's obvious that she's already half Xehanort, with the Recusant sigil being in plain sight. She doesn't look like she's 'Half Xehanort already' because she is hiding her true appearance using her necklace. Evanora could be one if Xehanort doesn't mind the implications.Scar could be mutated into a bipedal lion of sorts, like a Nortified lion as fan-art has often done. But Isa was implied to have been brainwashed, proving that Xehanort is perfectly willing to force people into his Thirteen Darknesses if he thinks they're worthy. Yes, they're too arrogant to really submit to anyone, let alone let someone else be the leader. Scar didn't need to possess anyone to keep his physical form, Turbo would be able lo hide the fact that he's half Xehanort already by his King Candy disguise, and we know Frollo is just pure evil. All three of them have so much darkness in their hearts. Scar, Turbo, and Frollo would be good candidates.If any doubt remained, he is indeed one of the True Organization.ĭisney villains will become part of the OrganizationI don't think I need to explain.The lack of gold eyes may have been an editing mistake, as the Japanese version of one of the E3 trailers shows Marluxia with gold eyes.Also, he doesn't have evil gold eyes like Braig, Isa and other Xehanorts or vessels have. Still, the D23 expo may be result of Marluxia being locked out of loop and still thinking original Organisation exists.Marluxia remembers Sora vividly, but none of the three heroes remember him at all. In regards to recent goings-on in Union Cross, if Lauriam was the one to kill Strelitzia and usurp her position in the new Union leaders, all this focus could hint to Marluxia actually being a contender.

A lot of the Heartless in the Tangled World are plant-based, which would further support the theory that he might cause trouble, possibly working with Gothel.

By 'those Heartless in the Tangled world', I'm assuming you mean the scythe-wielding enemies? Those are Nobodies, not Heartless.

Is he in cohorts with Gothel? Is he atoning for his past sins? Time will only tell. OTOH, those heartless in the Tangled world in the new trailer did make me think of Marly a lot.So, possibly this'll make his return.

Xehanort himself said he wanted a new Organization that didn't have any 'doubting' or 'incompetent' members, so I think the traitorous Marluxia or the wimpy Demyx won't fit into his new Org.If his new moveset had both his Re: Chain of Memories and KH2 Final Mix+ abilities, that would be one hell of a battle. I'd say it's worth having Nort-luxia simply so we can fight him again.On the other hand it's also possible that Marluxia didn't appear there because he didn't become a Heartless/Nobody there, or maybe he wasn't restored seeing how apparently nobodies only return to their original forms if their heartless was killed first, and the Grim Reaper, which is probably Marluxia's heartless was destroyed after him.This points to a significant connection between Xehanort and Marluxia. Seconding Marluxia: Young Xehanort, as the Mysterious Figure, used several of Marluxia's signature moves, and his battle theme even incorporated part of Marluxia's Leitmotif.Either he made him into one as punishment for what he tried to do in Castle Oblivion or he offered it to him and he accepted. Marluxia is one of the ThirteenXigbar and Saix are two of Xehanort's bodies and they weren't seen with the resurrected other members so he could be a vessel as well for Master Xehanort.
