Hey everyone, I have theory that I've been meaning to post, so here it is. Okay, so I noticed a lot of people are wondering why Xemnas and Ansem (if I say Ansem, I mean SoD, not the Wise) can't wield keyblades and expect the answer to that in a future game, but I believe that this question has allready been answered.

 

As you should all know, the ability to wield a keyblade comes from the strength of someone's heart, so obviously Xemans can't wield a keyblade because he has no heart, just like any other nobody. Roxas of course is an exception because he holds Ven's heart, the heart of a keyblade wielder. And so that leaves Ansem.

 

Ansem is basically Xehanort's heart in walking form, and Xehanort's heart is made up of the hearts of Terra, Master Xehanort, and Eraqus. And as we've seen, he could wield a keyblade when he was whole, and so he would need a body to wield one again. I would find it strange if a heart, especially a heartless, could summon a keyblade without a body.

 

Now this is where Riku comes in; Ansem's plan was to use the Keyblade of People's Hearts to get to Kingdom Hearts, so he needed a body. Now I think he could've possesed anyone and have been able to wield the Keyblade of People's Hearts since he is made up of three hearts that can all wield keyblades, but I guess it doesn't really matter since Riku's a keyblade wielder anyways. And so as you all know, Ansem then stayed with Riku up until the decoder explosion.

 

Now, for some proof about the whole Ansem needs a body thing. Just like how Sora is able to wield two keyblades because he has Ven's heart sheltered in him, Riku was able to summon a second keyblade when Ansem (Xehanort's heart) was with him. A lot of people don't believe this, but the Destiny's Embrace that Riku summoned for Kairi was in fact Xehanort's keyblade. Now I know it looks nothing like Xehanort's keyblade, but it looks different because it just has a different keychain, just like how Sora's keyblades can change form and Roxas changed them to Oblivion and Oathkeeper. I'm not exactly sure why it took this form, but I'm guessing it has to do with both Riku and Master Xehanort both being from Destiny Islands. Oh, and if you're wondering why Xehanort could only summon one keyblade when he had three hearts that were all hearts of keyblade wielders, it's because Master Xehanort's is the only one he has access to; Terra's is with his Lingering Sentiment and Aqua has Eraqus's.

 

Phew. Well, that's it, so thanks for reading and I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts and comments

 

Edit: There, I spread it out so people can read it easier now

 

Umm no he couldn't. He was asleep.

 

I meant after he stabbed himself with keyblade. For the last bit of kh1 and for all of com Sora was a walking heart. His "body" was similar in nature to a heartless who we don't see as a heart just going around attacking people.

Xemnas didn't use the keyblade because someone stole it.

Damn pick-pockets!
