I looked through the Ultimania and found that Young Xehanort borrowed Master Xehanort's power, but there wasn't any mention of possession. Master Xedrek (talk) 21:32, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Xehanort Experience Record, as I recall. 22:28, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I went through a translated diagram called the “Xehanort Experience Record”, and there was still no mention of possession. The closest info I could ascertain was that Young Xehanort utilized power bestowed to him by his future Robed Figure incarnation. Master Xedrek (talk) 23:52, 10 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Young Xehanort was able to move even when time was stopped! He and Riku fought.


 * Xehanort: I said, hands off!
 * Riku: How can you be moving?
 * (Young Xehanort summons his Keyblade)
 * Mickey: Oh no. Are you...
 * (Xehanort's eyes glow and he looks upon them with fury, giving off a dark aura)
 * Xehanort: Begone.


 * — Did King Mickey’s time magic not work properly on Young Xehanort because Young Xehanort has the power to control time?
 * Nomura: Not Young Xehanort’s but rather Master Xehanort’s power. King Mickey was surprised at the time, seeing his Keyblade and noticing he harboured the power of Master Xehanort. That Keyblade was designed as the one Master Xehanort used in KHBBS combined with an hourglass, you see.

So, to clarify, YX is not simply borrowing MX's power. MX is still materializing, so he's not vulnerable to Stopza and his mind uses YX's body (which is also how YX had a Keyblade -- the Experience Record explicitly says that YX is from before his training, and so cannot wield a Keyblade on his own). Maybe "possession" is an inappropriate term, if that's what your stumbling block is, as MX isn't really stealing YX's body, just manifesting in it -- same as Roxas using Ventus's keyblade. 00:11, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that passage is adjacent to the claim of possession, but it doesn’t claim possession. Especially after the events of Kingdom Hearts III, the interpretation leans heavily towards Young Xehanort acting on his own volition, utilizing the power given to him by his future self. He harboured the power of Master Xehanort, but he wasn’t controlled by him. Master Xehanort wouldn’t need to regardless, being as Younger Xehanort is Master Xehanort.

 * Mickey is recognizing that the person he's facing is not Young Xehanort, though. There's the eye glow and aura to boot. Young Xehanort wouldn't have been able to do anything of his own volition, because as Nomura states he is not immune to the time stop. Master Xehanort is inhabiting Young Xehanort at this point in order to share his power -- that's why YX can use a Keyblade during this battle, as Nomura specifically states. We don't have to use possession if there's a better word that doesn't imply it being against YX's will, but it's basically a consensual possession. 18:19, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
