Posted November 8, 201410 yr Did anyone notice that in KH3D, Riku calls still calls Xehanort's Heartless Ansem even though its AFTER he already knows that it isn't even his real name.
November 8, 201410 yr Technically his name is Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, and actual Ansem is Ansem the Wise. Even more ridiculous is that Xemnas is an anagram + X of Ansem, even though he's not Ansem in any way. The names in KH are almost as convoluted as the plot!
November 8, 201410 yr Officially, the correct terms are either "Ansem, Seeker of Darkness" or just "Xehanort's Heartless". Dude doesn't even have an original name. Ain't that sad? lol
November 8, 201410 yr Well he called him "Ansem" for so long that he's pretty much used to it, it,ll take a while for them to get used to not calling him that. Same reason why they keep calling Lea Axel. you just get used to calling someone by one name that it's difficult to change gears.Personally I still call Xehanort's Heartless Ansem and Ansem the Wise DiZ. Just easier and quicker than their actual names. Edited November 8, 201410 yr by Isamu_Kuno

November 8, 201410 yr It's the name Xehanort's Heartless chose, it's the one everybody knows him by, and by this point it fits with the name theme that Xemnas has (Ansem with an X, hello?), so why would you ever want to call him by anything else? Ansem works just as well with me, all you have to do is just refer to the true Ansem as Ansem the Wise and Xehanort's Heartless as Ansem, Seeker of Darkness. No problems there.

November 8, 201410 yr Plus, that'd just get confusing. There's already TWO Xehanorts in the same room together (Young and Master), why bother adding 'Xehanort's Heartless' to the mix when he could simply use the more identifiable 'Ansem'.
November 8, 201410 yr His official name is Ansem Seeker of Darkness, but his origin is Xehanort's Heartless.
