This theory actually is an idea I've never seen ANYONE else come up with thus far:
SPOILERS AHEAD
Everyone has been head over heels in response to a single boss from BBS: the Mysterious Figure. And pe
Here's a guy who comes out of nowhere, doesn't say a word, and fights Terra, Aqua, and Ven. I'd like to shed some light on this mysterious being.
First let's flash back to Master Xehanort's final conversation with Terra in their shared heart from the BBS secret ending:
[video=youtube;wUCY8m4u8Lg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUCY8m4u8Lg[/video]
One thing MX says is that Terra is one of many roads he may choose to take, or, as the Japanese translation stated, MX had planted many "seeds".
Yen Sid himself says that MX would have plans in store when he returned, and even said that there was more than one Xehanort.
Yet how could this be? Yen Sid confirmed that both Ansem and Xemnas were gone for good! So who is the other "Xehanort".
The Mysterious Figure of course! But how is he Xehanort? I think his existence is not simply a Nobody.
Recall the first cutscene of BBS:
[video=youtube;rVefWDwwzGk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVefWDwwzGk[/video]
In this cutscene, MX wears the trademark black coat. Yet he's never seen in this outfit again for the rest of BBS. Furthermore, Master Xehanort stated himself in his reports that he didn't need protection from the darkness, so why even WEAR it?!?!?
Because its true purpose for MX is not an article of clothing. It's a SENTIMENT!
Think back to when the new Xehanort fought Terra's Lingering Sentiment (spirit, remnant, whatever wiki editors call it these days):
[video=youtube;UHDYjHr5kEY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHDYjHr5kEY[/video]
Notice the way that Xehanort's reaction to the chains and the armor. He's NOT CONFUSED AT ALL!!!! It's like he fully understands how inanimate objects can come to life! This is because he's done the same thing to his BLACK COAT!
That's right! The Mysterious Figure is Xehanort's black coat animated to life.
Why else is it that the Mysterious Figure is the ONLY CANON SECRET BOSS WHO DOESN'T SPEAK AT ALL. Xemnas, Lingering Sentiment, and Vanitas Remnant ALL speak at least once or in some way. This being makes no communication because he CAN'T! He's just a black coat!
How did Xemnas give him the moves of Terra, Aqua, and Ventus as well as others like Xemnas and Xigbar? As far as TAV is concerned, MX saw all their moves in his travels. And Vexen made the Riku Replica simply by observing the real Riku's moves. That's how he obtained the moves! By observation! MX did the same thing!
Remember, MX is an elderly Keyblade Master. He's probably seen every attack out there, including the ability to clone oneself into five duplicates and shoot lasers from bubble orbs.
So why does MF fight TAV? To become stronger! To learn the rest of the moves they have to offer so he can perfect his skills!
That's why his Keyblade is no Name! Because he has no name. He's just a cloak whose power is based on the powers of others.
The final issue, is the so called "time travel". Well watch the MF fight closely:
[video=youtube;qIRjW-tO8Yc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIRjW-tO8Yc[/video]
Notice that he doesn't really time travel per say. He either pauses it, slows down, or moves so fast that he teleports. In other words, he can't actually TRAVEL through time. He can only control how he experiences it.
But how did he have this power to begin with? Most likely a property of the black coat itself. Black coats are able to resist darkness, an element that is independent of time based on the nature of the ROD and what Xemnas and Mickey said about darkness. Therefore, black coats can manipulate the flow of time.
So in other words, MF is not a time traveler or some fighter from the future. He's MX's black coat, and this, like every other secret boss, is a being of completely new nature that nobody's experienced before. Xemnas was the first Nobody fans saw, Lingering Sentiment was the first sentiment fans saw, and MF is the first animated black coat fans saw.
