I just had a thought that i absolutly must share!

 

Ok, we know that Xehanort wants to create 13 darknesses and that he was gonna use the members of the organization for this purpose right? But hey, life happens, and we all know the story. Some arent strong enough, some betray, some defect, ect ect. Then he does this whole time travel deal that we no know is his current plan.

 

But, i just had a thought. The Replica Program has always intrigued me in that its pupose was never truly told to us. And then it just came to me: what if the replicas were a kind of back up plan! Like, Xehanort working through Xemnas was creating replicas (basicly empty shells waiting to have a persona fill them) in case the plan of using members of the organization fell through.

 

That way, he could fill the replicas with his heart and mind. THen i thought of Repliku and Xion. what if they were the trial runs! Repliku was used to see if the replikas were even useable. Could be filled with another persona, and be counted on to fight and not well, just fall apart.

 

 And then Xion, to see if the power of the keyblade could be transfered over to a replica. (Something Xehanort would most definatly need and want in his 13 darknesses). and also to gather twice as many hearts for his current plan. 

 

Of course, this idea failed miserably. Each time the replica was filled with a persona, (through memories which are essentially what a heart is made of, so this was to simulate Xehanort replicating himself inside the replicas) the replica formed a sense of self, with a personality and mind different from the memories implanted in them that gave them their very existance. This would present a major problem for Xehanorts plans, if he filled 13 of these things and they each became a new person with their own mind and sense of self. Whos to say they would follow his plan, or decide to rebel against the original like Repliku did.

 

Seeing that the replica program would not work, or be a very good idea, and having the plan of Xion crash and burn miserably, no more replicas were made or used and Xemnas/ Xehanort moved on to their current plan.

 

So what do you all think?

I like

You know, now that I think about it, that is a very intriguing theory you have there, and one that makes sense too!  I congratulate you for this awesome theory!

Maybe it's purpose was to make more Xehanort clones. Who knows maybe the rest of the new Org. XIII is replicas.

what a twist that would make!

Very good observation. Bravo. I personally believe it could still work or come in to play later. I don't know if Xehanort would need Vexen/Even, but who knows. If Xehanort creates a replica of himself & puts a piece of his heart in it, how can it rebel? A replica of Xehanort should have the same motives as Xehanort anyway. Ansem & Xemnas are basically replicas, if you think about it, and they seem to think and want the same thing as Xeahnort, because they are him, in a sense. I think at least 1 replica of Xehanort will take a throne in the room where nothing gathers.

That actually makes a lot of sense. Your theory really explains something I never really got from the Orgazination, why they were so interested in replicas.

I thank you

Theory makes sense.
