No Heart:
To start, it's extremely obvious that No Heart has some kind of connection to Xemnas and Xehanort. He's practically a carbon copy of Xemnas' armor in the end of KH2, and he's got a giant Nobody symbol on his chest. In addition, his name is No Heart, an anagram of Xehanort. But how is this possible? Xemnas and the other humanoid Nobodies were not formed until after Xehanort split himself in two, a year after the end of BbS. So where is this new Nobody coming from?
In short, MX.
Where's the proof? Just think about it; Nomura has hinted several times that MX produced a Nobody when he left his body for his heart. If you want more proof see Grass' fantastic theory here: Grass' Theory. Now, it looks like we might finally be getting a look at that Nobody. I mean, it's obvious No Heart's a Nobody, and barring more MF time-traveling trickery, the only person who has created a Nobody during BbS related to Xehanort is MX himself. As I understand it, No Heart is fought in the Mirage Arena and the fight itself really can't be canon, but like the MF and Eraqus' Sentiment, the character himself might very well be canon, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the future, along with his fellow secret bosses. In fact, this might very well be the new form of Xehanort Nomura hinted at in the Re:coded Ultimania.
If you want further support, check what he's holding: it's MX's Keyblade. Nomura has stated in an interview that Nobodies inherit their Somebodies' Keyblades, with Roxas inheriting Sora's and Ventus' Keyblades as proof. But this leaves open the question of where Xemnas' Keyblade is. In the Ultimania for BbS, Nomura suggested that perhaps Xemnas chose not to use it. I'm going to be completely honest, that sounds utterly and completely stupid. I'm sure that Nomura could find a way to work it out and make it sounds somewhat plausible, but how about this instead? I'd like to propose a new theory, one that Nomura might have actually planned on using, but couldn't discuss before BbS:FM was finished and the new boss used. Perhaps Xemnas couldn't use MX's Keyblade because it was already owned by MX's first Nobody, No Heart. This of course begs to question why Xemnas couldn't use Terra's or Eraqus' Keyblades instead. As it turns out, those are both taken as well, by Terra's Lingering Sentiment and Aqua respectively. So Xemnas - while he is the true Nobody of Terranort and is connected to MX, Terra, and Eraqus - had no blade to wield, thus explaining why he went to Sora, Roxas, and Xion for his Heartless-killing needs.
And before you jump and down shouting that Terranort had MX's Keyblade in Radiant Garden, after No Heart was supposedly born, I'd like to point out that this is exactly like Roxas and Sora's odd Keyblade conundrum before CoM. Both had the same Keyblade at the same time, so it is possible that No Heart used MX's Keyblade at the same time that Terranort used it, and then took full possession of it after Terranort lost his memories.
Feel free to comment, criticize, tear apart, belittle, or any other synonyms of those. Or support it, that works too.
