Kingdom Hearts Fans Think Nomura's Latest Art Is Teasing Young Xehanort In Kingdom Hearts 4
Kingdom Hearts fans think that Tetsuya Nomura's latest piece of art is teasing Young Xehanort appearing in Kingdom Hearts 4.
To celebrate the release of the final episode of Kingdom Hearts Dark Road, Tetsuya Nomura took part in a special interview regarding the finale, and also released a brand-new piece of art depicting Young Xehanort. The art shows Xehanort standing in a rainy location with a stylish umbrella, wearing what looks like pretty modern clothes instead of his usual outfit or Organisation coat.

Some fans noticed that there are some purposeful white lines to the right of Xehanort that look like a building of some kind, as they stand out compared to the rain and are clearly supposed to be a certain shape. Twitter user Laaaaaaaagu realised that these white lines perfectly resemble Miyashita Park in Shibuya, a new shopping centre that opened in 2020.
The combination of modern clothes and a structure that resembles a real place in Shibuya is a pretty big hint that Young Xehanort is currently in Quadratum, the main location featured in Kingdom Hearts 4. If you've not been keeping up, Quadratum replicates several locations found within real-life Shibuya, to the point that fans were able to track down the exact building that Sora's apartment is just based on where it was featured in the trailer.
A story moment in Dark Road also points to this possibility. When Young Xehanort and Eraqus are talking about their plans for the future, Xehanort mentions that he wants to split himself into thirteen people in order to create his new world. When Eraqus asks if that's all he needs, he then mentions a fourteenth person to "explore the new world".
