Well towards the end of bbs their hearts rejoined, but then Ven defeated Vanitas in that awakening battle and expelled him from his heart, which made it fractured again. My guess it that Vanitas's heart is gone, but Ven's darkness can't just disapear, so I think that right before Vanitas was fully defeated, he created an unversed from the last of his negative emotions (which I think is pretty much darkness) and that became Vanitas's lingering sentiment.

Wow, I never thought of them like that before, but it makes a lot of sense. I think that Vanitas's Lingering Sentiment is going to play a canon role in a future game and he's going to help restore Ven's heart. Ven's heart's problem isn't just that it's seperated from its body, it's still fractured, so I think in order to help it, Ven needs to regain his darkness. And I think Vanitas's Sentiment is Ven's darkness just in physical form and he's going to be forced to go back to Ven. That's what I think his purpose could be.

Yeah, exactly. I also just remembered that in FM+ there's a scene where Xigbar says he's heard a voice answer Xemnas in the chamber, so maybe she found a way to communicate with Xemnas through her Keyblade and that's why she's leaving it; I never thought of that until now.

Well I don't think she has any way of bringing her armor back to her. I'm really not sure about whether or not Aqua can summon her keyblade since there's not any evidence to it, so it's really just spectulation for now.

Well that's just what I assume. If she can, then she's just never tried considering it's still just sitting in the Chamber or Repose.

I actually agree with this, but I have another theory that can explain why he can't summon Eraqus's keyblade. I think that if you're in one realm and your keyblade is in the other, then you can't summon it. For example, Aqua is in the Realm of Darkness and her keyblade is in the Realm of Light, in the Chamber of Repose, and she can't summon it. So it would make sense that Ansem can't summon Eraqus's keyblade since it's with Aqua in the Realm of Darkness. And he probably doesn't want to summon Terra's considering that he just dropped it and got rid of it when Master Xehanort's heart first entered Terra. It's not that he can't summon it anymore because he lost his memories, it's just that he doesn't remember that he can. My guess is that Ansem never gained back the memories of wielding a keyblade which would be why he never summoned it. I think Xemnas remembered that he used to be able to, but he couldn't because he didn't have a heart.

Sora: post KH1 Hollow Bastion-end of KH2 prologue. Oh yeah, I didn't think of that. I guess I'm going to discard the whole "Ansem needed a body" thing; it doesn't really make a difference toward the rest of my theory. I guess we can assume Ansem just didn't remember he was a keyblade wielder since there's no evidence of him having any of his memories as Master Xehanort or Terra. Or he just chose not to use it. Well yeah, I know that. I just meant I'm not sure if the fact Riku's a keyblade wielder made a difference to him. Whoa, whoa, whoa. No. That's not it. The three hearts are more or less merged, or at least, each one taking shelter within the other; Eraqus within Terra's within Master Xehanort's. The Lingering Sentiment is very literally Terra's lingering sentiments, not his heart. There is no way Eraqus's heart is in Aqua's, so I'm rather confused how you even got to that conclusion. Actually, like codeman said, I meant their keyblade's, not their hearts

Well she had a heart. It was fake, but it was still a heart.

I'm not really sure about that. I guess he didn't really need it since he had the guardian and the whole giant heartless ship(forgot the name of it). I mean when Aqua fought him when he was whole and he had the guardian, he barely used his keyblade. And even if the needing a body thing isn't true, then he just didn't use it when he didn't have one either, but he definately had one since Riku summoned it. And it's never been established how much, if any, of his memory that Ansem regained, so maybe he doesn't even remember that he's a keyblade wielder. And sorry about that, I didn't realize how long it was until I posted it.

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

So it's starting to sound like 3D will be the bridge game between KH2 and KH3 like CoM was for KH1 and KH2.

Okay, so Terranort's (or apprentice Xehanort) heart was made up of the hearts of Terra, Xehanort, and Eraqus. (Eraqus isn't really that important, but it's still there) Then he became a heartless (Ansem SoD) and possesed Riku then expelled Riku's heart and took his body for himself. When Sora opened the door to darkness and the light of kingdom hearts came out, Riku got his body back, but Ansem SoD was still there. In CoM, Riku weakens him greatly, but he's still with Riku even though he's not strong enough to posses him or anything like that. So when Riku gave into Ansem's darkness, he took on his appearance, but he wasn't posessed. Then when Ansem the Wise's decoder explodes, we see that Riku's body is back to normal, meaning that Ansem SoD (along with Master Xehanort's heart) is finally gone. Then Xemnas is defeated, so Terranort/Xehanort will come back, but judging from Yen Sid saying Master Xehanort will return, it sounded like it would just be Master Xehanort's heart, but with Terra's body. And as you can see Reversal posted, Nomura implied in the BbS ultimania (I think) that Terra's heart stayed with Riku which would mean only Master Xehanort's heart was expelled with the explosion. And I'm not sure about Eraqus's heart, but my guess is that it's with Terra's. Sorry that was long, but I hope it clears things up

What makes you think it was ever relevant? Sora: "Your Majesty, it's Xemnas! We have to stop him!" Mickey: "Hey Sora, did you know that I'm a Keyblade Master?" That made me literally lol

Yes it is implied that Terra's heart stayed with Riku, but Terra's heart didn't jump out of Terranort's body and teleported itself into Riku's, no. If Riku did ever get Terra's heart inside him, he got it from Ansem SoD. Yeah, that's what I meant. I figure that Ansem SoD was made of the hearts of Terra, Master Xehanort, and Eraquas and when the decoder blew up, it expelled MX's heart and Terra's (and probably Eraqus's) heart stayed with Riku.

Actually, it's implied that Terra's heart stayed with Riku after the whole decoder explosion in KH2.

I'm pretty sure the only reason apprentice Xehanort's heart became a heartless with a personality and stuff is because he gave up his heart willingly and pretty much wanted to become a heartless. And plus he didn't really have a human appearance, he just looked like somone wearing a brown cloak. The only time he had a human appearance is when he possesed Riku's body and was able to change it to make it resemble what he looked like before he became a heartless.

I agree with pretty much everything you said. If he assumed Maleficent and other villains were evil just cause they wore black or something, that would be pretty rude of him. And in Dwarf Woodlands, he knew The Queen was evil and I don't think he was ever planning on stealing Snow White's heart, he probably just left so The Queen would think he's going to and not do anything bad to him, which she did when he found out he didn't go through with it. And Hades, Jumba, and Hook never gave him a reason to distrust him when he met them. And I think what Aqua did to him was really wrong, it's probably the one thing I don't like about her character. And Master Xehanort lied to him up until he killed Eraqus and Terra had no way of knowing that, Master Xehanort seemed like he looking out for him. And sure it was a mistake for Terra to use his darkness during his fight with Eraqua and during his fight with Xehanort at the Keyblade Graveyard, but he was angry and couldn't really control it, just like how people lose their temper in real life. Overall, he was just lied to and manipulated throughout his whole journey, kinda stabbed in the back by Aqua and Eraqus (when he refused to make him master pretty much just because he was paranoid, which is pretty much what caused everything) and just made a few mistakes like we and a lot of the other characters in the series do.

1. Xion is a replica of Roxas made from Sora's memories. 2. Mickey got Kingdom Key D by travelling to the realm of darkness and finding it. Star Seeker was the keyblade Yen Sid let him borrow and train with in bbs and in coded it's a keychain for his Kingdom Key D. 3. Because he was old and wanted a younger body so he could see the results of his plan. 4. Because Ven's heart took shelter in Sora's body and when Sora's heart became a heartless, Ven's heart stayed in Sora's body, which became Roxas, so he took on Ven's appearance. 6. Mickey and because he needed someone to go through the data world/the journal to find the meaning of the secret messages. 8. It's a keyblade that goes with kingdom hearts and can be created by a heart of pure light and a heart of pure darkness fusing. It's pronounced like keyblade because the X is actually the greek letter chi which is pronounced like key. (I skipped 5 and 7 cause I suck at secret bosses and never beat Ice Titan or Sephiroth lol)

Probably, if the game was still written the way it was. I've read a bunch of alternate scenarios for Days involving a nonexistent Xion, which imo, would've made it more popular with the fandom. Why, Kanemaki, why did you have to make your self insert a Mary Sue? And one that causes so much controversy at that? D: There's alternate scenarios? Do you know where I could find those?

Now that you said this, I'm starting to believe that Vanitas's lingering spirit could be what's left of Vanitas. I think that maybe right before Ven destroyed Vanitas, he could've used the last of his power to creat one last unversed, which would be the lingering spirit. I think Sora will have to let the lingering spririt become part of Ven's heart, and then Ven will have to defeat it another kind of mental struggle in his heart and learn to control his darkness, kinda like what Riku did with Ansem SOD.

True, that might be why she had to be around Roxas to first get the Keyblade, and then the second time she had to wield it, that is plausible, I would believe it, but I'm just not sure. It all seems to make sense to me. I usually agree with everything Reversal says, it's just the whole fake keyblade thing I'm not really getting.

Yeah I agree with what everyone's saying, I think she had one of Roxas's two keyblades (either Sora or Ven's) and then he regained it when she was destroyed. If her keyblade was fake, I don't think it would be able to collect hearts. When Riku called her keyblade fake I just figured he was wrong.

Would it shock you if I told you Xion's Keyblade, like the rest of her, is artificial, fake? Because it is. Really? I just figured she was using Sora's Keyblade all the time and that Roxas was actually using Ven's.

Zexion, Saix, and Xemnas.
