Birth by Sleep.
I was reading some notes I took a little while ago on a book by Joseph Campbell (American, I think) analyzing mythology and various heroes. Interesting thing is that he equates the death of a hero with sleep. (One of the pre-reqs is acknowledgement of death. Xemnas shows this during his last bit of conversation with Sora and Riku in KH2 Realm of Nothingness, but that isn't the point) The cycle of heroes is one of Birth, Death, and Rebirth. From every Death in the cycle comes a Birth of some sort (death of childhood causes the birth of adulthood and such). Thus, Birth by Sleep. The sleep that Campbell analyzes is that of the hero going into a death-like state until it is time to complete his/her destiny. The Birth By Sleep promo mentions "no coincidence in Fate". Fate = Destiny.
Birth by Sleep, the start of something from the death of something else. The initiation of fate; the end of TAV's adventure results in the Birth of SRK's adventure; the fall of the Unbirths results in the rise of the Heartless and Nobodies; everything in Birth by Sleep does not set the stage of KH, but it leads DIRECTLY to it. Without the ideas/events of BBS, KH could not occur.
Not sure where to go from there to launch into a long magnificent theory, so I won't try. Anybody can use this if it fits into one of their theories.
Or, I might be psycho and this could just be a coincidence (although unlikely as it is a prequel).
Comment as you wish, please no calling me an imbecile :23: .
