I’ve been looking into Kingdom Hearts Chi a little bit since I realized it might actually offer valuable hints for the future of the series, and I noticed something interesting about the Foretellers’ Keyblades:

Apart from them all having lovely designs, there are a few common elements to them.

First, each Keyblade has the face of the animal representing the Foreteller’s faction at the cross-guard.

Second, each Keyblade has that green eye symbol on the keychain.

And, third, each Keyblade has a heart emblem built into the design somehow.

The thing is, this pattern is nothing new:

Animal face at the cross-guard?  Check.

Green eye on the keychain?  Check.

Heart symbol?  Well…

Here’s where further details are needed.  In Kingdom Hearts Chi, it’s said that the Foretellers’ master has six pupils, five of whom he gave a book of prophecies – the Foreteller’s Script – which speaks of the world falling into eternal darkness.

It’s never said why the sixth pupil didn’t get the book of prophecies.  But, it’s not that hard to imagine that his master might have found him unworthy for some reason, and denied him not only the book of prophecy but also a heart emblem marking his students as his students.

In other words, Xehanort has the Keyblade of the mysterious sixth Foreteller.

Speculating further, what if this sixth Foreteller is the “Recusant” whose symbol Xehanort uses?  The ram’s horns and “beard” on the Keyblade’s cross-guard does make the shape of an X, after all…

…which leads directly into my final piece of speculation: the reports that we’re going to chase down in Kingdom Hearts III won’t be written by Xehanort.  They’ll be written by “the Recusant,” whose knowledge Xehanort intends to use to bring about the Keyblade War.

The other Foretellers, after all, shared the goal of averting the coming of eternal darkness… what better way for the Recusant to make a Recusant of himself than to willingly seek it out?
