Double OKP 171 Posted June 1, 2021 Things probably had to change a bit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corpiman_1622520620 0 Posted June 1, 2021 first DR where Ansem just sends Kid Xehanort into scala to begin his training, and after a while there (enough for his hair to grow) and the events of DR, which clearly affected him, giving him a darker outlook in life he goes back to the islands where he is met again by Ansem and he is told the whole time travel plan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silent Multiverse 6 Posted June 1, 2021 shouldnt this be in Kingdom Hearts Dark Road Chat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Double OKP 171 Posted June 1, 2021 him having shorter hair when he's at Destiny Islands in DR and him having longer hair 4 years later in DR just shows his transition and yes, this should be in Kingdom Hearts Dark Road Chat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corpiman_1622520620 0 Posted June 1, 2021 yes but this connects to something from UX, I am trying to get to that point lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silent Multiverse 6 Posted June 1, 2021 gotcha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corpiman_1622520620 0 Posted June 1, 2021 but why not follow the hairstyle that DDD already presented years before, and as well, DR is still a keyblade student, while YX seems to be quite adept by nowits actually all because of the Woody gif you posted lolsince everyone is making fun of the scene were Woody tells YX nobody has loved him before and people making fun of woody because apparently he is wrong since he had a bunch of friends as Player (also in the dark road chat they were talking about missions and I didn't want to interrupt them with a random theory lol) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Double OKP 171 Posted June 1, 2021 The hairstyle in DDD is the exact same as the YX we see who went to the future and all. I think Nomura wanted to emphasize Xehanort's transition from the kid who played chess to the one who went on the dark road. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corpiman_1622520620 0 Posted June 1, 2021 yes, but not the same as the one early DR shows, that my issue Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Double OKP 171 Posted June 1, 2021 DR wasn't planned way back in DDD. So, I'm thinking Nomura retconned that hairstyle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corpiman_1622520620 0 Posted June 1, 2021 even then he could've given him the "older" hairstyle from the beginning or keep him with the "newer" throught all the gamebut they decided to change it after a timeskip, they chould've easily made the timeskip and keep the same hair and it would not have been an issue, just atributted to "the DR artstyle" but they deliberately changed it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Double OKP 171 Posted June 1, 2021 Yes, to emphasize Xehanort's transition I wouldn't make such a big deal out of a small change Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corpiman_1622520620 0 Posted June 1, 2021 plus in DR intro we never see ansem do anything relating to giving Xehanort the time travel power (just says some things and opens a portal) , so technically that "event" could still be waiting to happen (in my proposed 2nd meeting, during DDD) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Double OKP 171 Posted June 1, 2021 It's just his hair, it's not like this huge problem Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corpiman_1622520620 0 Posted June 1, 2021 could be, but they could've stuck with his new cloak and kept the hair, since Eraqus' hair doesnt change Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Double OKP 171 Posted June 1, 2021 It doesn't change his characteristics or anything Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corpiman_1622520620 0 Posted June 1, 2021 lol, may I remind you that this is the series were we spent years decoding character's identities based on their eye colors and ear shapes? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Double OKP 171 Posted June 1, 2021 yeah, but not hair. it's just a little tweak in character design, it won't change canon or anything Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Double OKP 171 Posted June 1, 2021 if it won't change anything, then we don't have to make such a big deal out of it lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corpiman_1622520620 0 Posted June 1, 2021 if we are to believe that YX went and had his time travel adventure (DDD & and KHIII) and THEN returned to dark road I think it gets kind of weirdyes, return to your time travel origin erases your memories but your experiences are "etched" in your heart (basically inception) so even before starting DR this was a Xehanort already drawn to darkness, I find it hard seeing him form a relationship with Eraqus and the other students, or being really affected by what happens to thembut the other way around makes more sense, DR being a naive Keyblade student who's experiences trying to rescue the upperclassmen leave him traumatized about how weak people can be easily taken over by darkness, thus he decides to leave Scala after talking with Eraqus and meets Ansem again, now more interested in his plan for gaining true power and controlling the darknessand thus, in order to avoid future debates about his hair he decides to go bald Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
