One of the few wrong things that the KH fanbase likes to believe and will eat anyone for disagreeing with it....is the whole:Roxas is Ventus bullcrap
This is just wrong....this is wrong both canonically and logically in terms of the KH mythos
And before I go into detail let's just take it one by one starting with the little things.First, the design.
People like to assume that Roxas is Ventus based on the similarity of character design....which is non sense
All of what the two shares is just a hairstyle and an outfit he happened to find in his closet and can be changed at any time
Also,if you look closely at Roxas;s facial model,his face looks more similar to Sora than Ventus......seriously just do a hair swap with Sora's KH2 model and see what you'll get.
Sure maybe Ventus's heart influenced how Roxas's might look but it's so trivial and have nothing to add to the plot except for hinting something that is very obvious...in fact it makes Ventus's design look very lazy as they could've gave him something that makes him look more different
If anything,it goes to show the lazy design of Ventus and that Nomura should've thought of an original design of him instead of making them similar to delude you that they're one and the same while nothing in the official canon inside the games confirm such a thing
And before you say they have the same voice,a voice actor can voice more than one character in a game,anime or a TV show
Jason Griffith voiced both Sonic and Shadow,does that mean Sonic and Shadow are the same??
Jaleel White voice Sonic,Manic and even Sonia in the Sonic Underground cartoon.
So yeah,the similar voice argument is invalid.
Now we can start with the canonical stuff.
One:How about the fact that Ventus's body is STILL IN CASTLE OBLIVION...if Roxas was really Ventus,Xemnas would've fully realized that instead of searching the shit out of Castle Oblivion
Two:It was never confirmed that Ventus got yet another amnesia as he's still sleeping at Castle Oblivion
Three:nothing confirms that Ventus's heart left Sora when he stabbed himself at Hollow Bastion.
Four:If Roxas is Ventus,then why did he remembers Sora's memories instead of Ventus's??This won't make any sense.It's like if someday you lost your memory,but instead of regaining your memory you got the memory of a high school girl.
Five:If Roxas is Ventus,then why didn't Xemnas add an X to Ventus's name instead of Sora's during the naming ceremony.
Six:How about the fact that during his time in the organization,Roxas was WIELDING THE KINGDOM KEY,which is Sora's keyblade,and before you say you can change the keychain,but the design of Ventus's keyblade differs from that of other wielders in terms of how you hold it....yeah Roxas later on will use Oathkeeper and Oblivion for Dualwielding,but those two were also keychains used by Sora in the first game.
Seven:How about the fact that most interviews,Ultimania books and even the journals inside the game states that Roxas is Sora's nobody dozens of times to the point everytime I see a journal entry about this I say:No shit I know that already
There are dozens of other reasons that I can state but it'll reach nitpicking at this point.
Even if you try to give more similarities ,there are so many differences between the two that proof that the "Roxas is Ventus" Theory is nonsense
