Birth By Sleep: Unraveling The Mystery

In the original Kingdom Hearts, there wasn't really too much mystery. The Heartless were spawned when somebody or something lost their heart. Ansem is the main villain.

But when Kingdom Hearts II rolled around, things became more confusing. Nobodies were introduced, apparently the side product of something becoming a Heartless. If their will was strong enough, the Nobody takes more of a human form, instead of a distorted oddity. Organization XIII is a bunch of humanoid Nobodies, headed by Manse- I mean Xemnas, who is, you guessed it, Ansem's Nobody. But wait?!

...

There's another Ansem.

So the original Ansem is a fraud, being the Heartless of someone who stole Ansem the Wises name. Xehanort or something, just Another with No Heart. -badumpssh-

Speaking of Nobodies, Sora has a Nobody, Roxas. All of these X's. Bleh. Sora has a Nobody simply because when he unlocked his heart to save Hollow Bastion or something, he became a Heartless. But Roxas looks nothing like Sora. Hmm...Lucy, you've got some 'splaining to do!

So Birth by Sleep rolled around, and while just as confusing, actually makes a bunch of sense outta this mess. Xehanort is actually an old man who decided to become evil so he could take over the worl-

Xehanort is a Keyblade wielder who believes darkness is good, and tries to make people evil  take their body for his own evil purposes. get this object called the x-Blade and unlock Kingdom Hearts like every other villain in the series. He tries to turn Ventus evil, but Ventus is too good, and what darkness was there got ripped out of him, and was turned into Vanitas. Ventus' heart was seriously weakened, and eventually was put into the body of a young Sora. Interestingly enough, Roxas looks like Ventus. Thusly Ventus became Roxas when Sora became a Heartless.

MYSTERY SOLVED.

Why are there so many Ansems?

Xehanort was successful in taking over Terra, who was succeeded by Riku (lastly Aqua who was succeeded by Kairi) and as a result of taking Terra over, became young again after tossing Terra into a suit of armor which is dubbed Lingering Will. Terranort, now just a young Xehanort (Instead of "Master Xehanort") became the apprentice of Ansem the Wise, (The good one) who studied the heart. Note, he cannot perform cardiology.

Eventually, Xehanort steals Ansem's name, becomes a Heartless, Ansem the Seeker of Darkness, and brings out the Nobody Xemnas. Xehanort is presumed to be the Unknown, has the suit of armor No Heart.

MYSTERY SOLVED.

So what of everything in between? Square Enix doesn't care It'll eventually be explained.

Return From the Different Dimension?

Okay, so my move was delayed.

I'm still here.

I still do what I do.

So what shall I do now?

Approximately every two weeks whenever I feel like it, this blog will still do reviews, but may also cover such topics as the VGC's, various games in development, etc...

Why did I decide to do it here?

To be honest, I'm lazy.
