Sayz: This is part of a mini-series that I’m working on, pondering over various
theories surrounding the characters and events that may be revealed in ‘Kingdom
Hearts III’ when it is released at the end of January next year. These theories
are meant to be just light, fun and speculation – none of this if fact nor is
it meant to be taken seriously. Today I am going to look into the box that
Luxord asks Jack Sparrow about in the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ ‘Kingdom Hearts
III’ trailer.)
Whilst watching the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ ‘Kingdom Hearts III’ trailer something interesting caught my attention. After showing off the amazing graphics, by introducing us to all of the main ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ cast and giving us a tour of what the level will entail, to roundup this area in the trailer, we jump to a cutscene between Sora, Jack Sparrow and Luxord. Returning to the world in which he ran in ‘Kingdom Hearts II’, Luxord appears on the Black Pearl and tells Jack Sparrow, “I am looking for a box.”
From this, the first place that my (and many people’s) mind wondered to was the box that the Master of Masters gave to Luxu in ‘Kingdom Hearts Back Cover’. Perhaps Luxord predicted that as Jack Sparrow is a pirate and pirates stereotypically search for treasure and valuable/mysterious goods that the captain had found the box. What is so special about Luxu’s box? Well we do not know for certain what is inside it, but we do know that it has thirteen locks. Thirteen locks for thirteen seekers of darkness? What could be so special that the Master of Masters locked in a box that only the thirteen seekers of darkness could unlock? My first thoughts went to the x-blade; however, in ‘Birth by Sleep’ Ventus and Vanitas proved that just two forces, one of pure darkness and one of pure light, could forge the x-blade – so it couldn’t be that. Then I looked deeper. Going back to ‘Kingdom Hearts Back Cover’ when Luxu asks the Master of Masters for a hint as to what is inside the box, the Master of Masters whispers a secret to Luxu, which the player cannot hear. However, we do hear Luxu’s reaction. He gasps, exclaiming, “But why?” to which the Master of Masters replies, “You’ll see,” in a Master Xehanort-esque way. This got me even more intrigued. Master Xehanort is known for removing his heart from his body and placing it into another vessel, so could the box contain the Master of Masters’ heart? Is this what Luxord is looking for? Is this what Jack has in his possession?
However, I also have a second theory. This also ties in with locking one’s heart in a box. If ‘Kingdom Hearts II’ follows the first ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ film (‘Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl’), perhaps ‘Kingdom Hearts III’ will follow the second and third films. During these films it is revealed that Davy Jones’ heart is locked away in a box, known as ‘Dead Man’s Chest’, having ripped it out himself. Perhaps Luxord comes to hear that Jack Sparrow has a chest containing a heart and either a) is curious as to whether this is the ancient box of the Master of Masters, only to find out it is the wrong box or b) the Organisation want the heart of Davy Jones – for what purpose I do not know. Maybe they believe it is another heart that needs to be released into Kingdom Hearts? Maybe they have other plans for it, who knows.
My theory is that Luxord asks Jack Sparrow for the box that he and the rest of the Organisation believe to be the Master of Masters’ box. However, Jack thinks that Luxord is referring to the ‘Dead Man’s Chest’ as he knows nothing about any other mysterious box and with the cryptic ways in which Luxord refers to the contents of the box, Jack Sparrow assumes that he is after the heart of Davy Jones.
I’m curious to know what you think. Is Luxord after the heart of Davy Jones or do you believe that he is asking Jack if he (and the pirates) have located the ancient box of the Maser of Masters? Or have I missed something – could the box Luxord is after be something different entirely? Let me know your thoughts on this theory.
