WAKENING
In the recent trailer/commercial of BBS we witness right at the beginning, a scene in which Ven is standing on a platform. The image of the platform shows a picture of Ven, The Symbol they wear act as a border of the image, while in the circles of the inner image represent the three charms that Aqua handed out or made. More interesting though is the two keyblades that lay on top of the stained glass image. One keyblade is the Kingdom Key while the other is the Way to Dawn/ the Soul Eater, both keyblades respectively given to Sora, and Riku.
CONNECTIONS/POSSIBILITIES
Nomura has left us a hint that the names of Ventus and Vanitas are similar and that a connection could draw from that. Whatever connection it is has many possibilities involved. Family won't be one i consider because regardless of what anyone thinks, family with the main KH characters has never been important in introducing to the game. Some possible connections could be that perhaps they were acquainted as friends, allies, or possibly from numerous confrontations in which we see through scenes of the game itself. Perhaps Vanitas had filled Ventus heart with negative emotions, perhaps Ventus and Vanitas are one in the same...
CONFLICTS/CONNECTIONS (cont.)
As many of you know there have been numerous moments in which you hear someone saying "what have you done with his heart", and it seems that the person being spoken about is none other than Ventus himself, so whatever is happening to Ventus during the game has something to do with his heart. This is a stretch to go on, but there is a scene in the new commercial in which Vanitas raises his keyblade in a stabbing position, and here i am led to believe that Vanitas does something to his heart. He either drains it, or darkens it. Whatever it is i'm led to believe just what i said above.
THE SORA CONNECTION
We all know fairly well that there is a connection between Sora and Ventus and that connection comes with the identity of Roxas. Nomura has stated that the connection is not between Roxas and Ven, but rather Sora and Ven which may mean that the connection could be by his attitude, the light of his heart...who knows really, but that is what i have to go on for now. When Destiny's Island's Door is open the world begins to succumb to darkness, and as Sora runs up to Riku who gives a small speech of not fearing Darkness, he tries to reach for Riku but when he does a light flashes and in his hand appears the KK.
THE RIKU CONNECTION
As said before, relying on a connection between Ven and Vanitas, it may be possible that some part of Vanitas affected Ven, or perhaps Vanitas and Ven are one in the same. We know that Vens awakening had both the KK, and the Way to Dawn, where the Way to dawn closely resembles the Keyblade Vanitas carries with the dark eye. Either Vanitas negative emotions is what created a darkness inside Ventus, or he is somehow another Ventus i'm unsure of but explaining Riku at the separation between him and Sora we see that the two split and Sora gets the KK, but later on we see that Riku handles the Soul Eater which would later become the Way to Dawn. Riku was originally meant to become the Keyblade Master, but his acceptance to darkness made a turn in that position, and in the end led him to trials and error. One thing to take notice however is that the development of his character in the game become noticeable amongst his keyblade, the split of light and darkness gave Riku the Way to Dawn, and Sora the KK which were again both seen in the Awakening of Ven.
TAKING EVERYTHING WITH A GRAIN OF SALT
Vens Destati is a foreshadowing of our two heroes Sora and Riku. The keyblades within his heart are both split into two by light and darkness, light going to Sora, and Darkness going to Riku. What was originally supposed to be a complete transition for Riku became a split for Riku and Sora therefore the power of Ven lies with Sora and Riku. If Xehanort from the previous KH has any relation to Terra, and the words in which he speaks towards Ven asking him that someday he would need to be saved by him are indeed true. Then Sora and Riku, being the two halves of Ven are the key to defeating Xehanort who in some form might be Terra, which would aslo be fate, which is also a theme in BBS.
