Sora & Yozora Role Reversal Pt II

In the KH3 Remind true secret ending, Sora defeats Yozora and he begins to fade away into a blue beam of light. In the bad secret ending where Sora is defeated he undergoes crystal stasis, but when Yozora touches his crystal to transport himself to the Final World (Day) the same blue beam of light shoots heavenward. I'm not entirely sure what the significance of that is but I remembered that the Shibuya 104 building they were fighting on was Sora's Station of Awakening transformed from the Final World (Night).

This reminded me of something:

When Sora used the Power of Waking to leave the Final World he used that world's Sleeping Keyhole which act as portals. That's the only time a world's sleeping keyhole emerged from the ground up. Sora walks into the golden light and is transported out of the Final World.

Shared Heart

SORA REACHED THE FINAL WORLD (Day) IN HIS DREAMS

In the beginning of KH1, the tutorial is Sora's dive to the heart which after we complete, Sora is revealed to have been sleeping and everything was a dream. In KH3, Chirithy reveals to Sora that he had already visited the Final World on his previous trips to the Station of Awakening. We know this is possible because the final world is where the realms of death and sleep touch.

YOZORA REACHED THE FINAL WORLD (Night) IN HIS DREAMS

In both KH3 Remind Secret endings, Yozora wakes up in the car (although in the bad ending there's a better transition). This tells us that everything that transpired from Sora meeting Yozora to him arriving in the final world/disappearing after losing, all happened within his dreams just like Sora in KH1.

Sora and Yozora dived to their heart to reach the final world in their sleep while dreaming. The reason Sora ended up in the Final World (Night) after disappearing was probably because he was banished from his world so he wasn't allowed to access his Final World (Day).

Bookend

Going back to the beginning of this post, when Yozora touches Sora's crystallized body the blue beam of light shoots heavenward and all of sudden Yozora instantly arrives in the Final World.

In the Fabula Nova Crystallis trilogy, when a L'Cie enters Crystal Stasis they're basically stuck in between a state of both sleep and death. But, it's because of this L'Cie can still dream and after DDD we know that dreams can act as portals to sleeping worlds. So, Yozora used Sora's dreams as a portal to reach Sora's Final World (Day).

But one discrepancy would be that when Yozora loses he vanishes from the Station of Awakening/Digitized Shibuya, but when Sora loses he enters crystal stasis.

My guess is that the reason Sora and Yozora meet in the Final World (Night) is because being two different/parallel versions of each other, they share the same Heart/Station of Awakening. Yozora was able to trigger/awaken/activate Sora's Station of Awakening and transported him and Sora to Shibuya. This reminds me of how Riku used the POW to awaken Sora's Sleeping Keyhole to use as a portal to reach his dream version of Destiny Island and Sora used the POW on Xehanort's heart to reach his dream version of Scala ad Caelum. Shibuya could be where Yozora's heart leads (a dream version anyway) because it had a significant impact on his life given the trials he had to undergo.

Sora was banished from his world meaning he had nowhere to go back to, so when he loses he becomes a portal for his other self (being Yozora) to traverse between the two Final Worlds/universes. However, Yozora wasn't banished from his world which is why even after crossing over to the Final World (Day) when he wakes up his heart can return to his body that's sleeping in the car.

I believe that because Sora and Yozora share the same heart, but exist in different universes one shouldn't replace the other because that creates an imbalance of sorts. That's why the true ending is Sora emerging victorious so he and Yozora can trade places. This way Sora lives out his life in Yozora's body and Yozora in Sora's body gets transported to Shibuya because Yozora has been to Shibuya before and maybe this is how he completes his final trial to "Save Sora", by taking his place in his body.

Random thoughts:

Not to mention if this theory is true, from what we've seen they keep the same voices.

This could also explain why Sora's newest KH3 Remind render had him looking so edgy, not only to represent how serious Sora/the player had to be to defeat Yozora in that situation, but maybe that's Yozora in Sora's body (with the realistic clothing of course) bein' all edgy.

Also, these shots are really similar considering the first one is Sora (Yozora) watching the other shoot of from the 104 building and in the next one he's staring right at the 104 building.
