Kingdom Hearts X: Backcover.

Alright. Here we go.

First off since I obviously know how it all ends we'll have spoilers earlier than maybe they should have come up.

Case of Luxu, we start by seeing 2 figures clad in the black coats. Great start.

One of them howver is fucking Noctis (Ray Chase). Before I get into characters and other shit like that, I can't say enough how much Ray hit a grand slam here. They told him this guy was a questionable bad guy, and he just fucking went with it.... Master of Masters by Ray is a delicious smarmy smart ass ass hole the entire time.... and I love it.

We are told the smaller black cloak guy is #7. AND he's indisposable (which technically they should all be, but then you remember MoM is an asshole who is either trying to bring about the Apocalypse directly, or just gives no fucks to stop it and will let it happen.

Luxu is confused by being #7.... to which MoM Replies it simple (flat out calling him a moron) that 6 plus 1 equals 7. Then he sarcastically says "wait, don't tell me I don't count". He's just the best.

Then he walks toward him and summons a Keyblade.....

Actually that's not fair.... he summons THE Keyblade. This is to this point the first canonical instance of "No Name" (the first Keyblade) appearing, (remember, Backcover, X, and UX all happen the same time frames, so this is before the X games), and for such an important moment it sure is anti climatic.... MoM just gives the damn thing to Luxu. No, seriously, he summons it, walks to him and says "here, take it".

This is the second most powerful thing in the world, and it is just handed off with little to no fanfare.... sad. He also gives him a task and a box. That task is pretty much the connecting force for all of KH. The box.... eh.

So, the MoM has an eye that sees the future. Handy. He gives 5 of his 6 dumbasses a Book of Prophecies which told of events to come... including.... spoiler alert, the upcoming apocalypse that their dumbassery was going to cause....

Case of Ira:

Speaking of, we meet the first dumbass, and the soon to be leader of the dumbasses... ira.

MoM asks if he looked through the book. Ira says he has but is still analyzing it.

MoM makes fun of him that he didn't just quick skim it (a quick skim through a book detailing the future of the world). And we quickly see one of Ira's faults arise. His response to this obvious joke is to defend himself and say he just likes to be thorough. (In his defense, he did just read about the apocalypse, I'm willing to cut him some slack this scene)

Ira asks if the last passage of the book is true?
MoM responds that's a bummer, huh? (I love this guy)

To further make Ira worry, the MoMs calmly says if he were to someday disappear he's counting on Ira to keep the others calm (at least it wasn't Ava). Ira rightly is shocked by this even being brought up, and asks him what he means by disappear. Because MoM is an amazing asshole he completely ignores what Ira so clearly meant and instead gives him the definitions of vanish, dim, and fade, and then says he doesn't know how to explain it.

We then learn a bit about the Age of Fairytales (the time we see them in). The first talk of KH. The world is giant and made up of many smaller worlds, all of them connected and having lights, but all share one big light, Kingdom Hearts. The MoM points out everyone thinks that KH would be there forever, but if it were to disappear, the world would go to darkness.. and Ira of course is like "yeah, that's why you gave us all these Keyblades" makes sense... right?

NOPE. MoM just bluntly says no, they are not for protecting Kingdom Hearts. And reiterates the final passage.

"On that fated land a Great War shall transpire.
Darkness will prevail, and the light expire" Bummer..
