At last, I believe this is where the term Dis-Soul fits in! Maybe the Enigmatic Soldiers are the dis-souls. It makes sense, because of the bald-headed man's alter ego. Maybe he is able to divide into two beings by casting his soul out of his body.
By the way, can we please stop calling the soldiers Chasers. As I said before, chaser means "one who forges weaponry from steel," which makes me think that Chasers are the creators of the keyblades. So until we know for sure, let's just call the knights Enigmatic Soldiers.
Maybe Dis-souls are formed when a nobody is destroyed, since you claim that nobodies are comprised of souls and bodies. Maybe when the body is destroyed, the soul is released as a "last ditch effort" to live.
Personally, I believe that the only reason why Xemnas reached out with his left arm when he was dying was just to add cinematic effect. It was used to express the everlasting will of Xemnas. Xemnas was merely "clinging to life."
In regards to the symbol, it is just to, as you said, seperate the regular bosses from the heartless and nobodies. The symbol means nothing more.
In regards to my dis-soul theory, i'm pretty sure i'm right on. The Dis-Souls are most likely created when a person is subdued by the dark. As I said, a heartless (who craves their original heart) and a nobody (who is in need of their original body) is created when this occurs. As I asked before, where does the soul go? This is probably what a dis-soul is -- a discarded soul.
Thank you so very much Xigbar! I just have one problem: I tried entering the url into the "edit my signature" area. I don't know why, but it said invalid file. Any advice?
Never mind. I figured it out. Thanks again Xigbar, you're awesome!
Username: Xehanort's Avenger
Character: Riku (black organization robe with blindfold)
Color: Riku should have a black robe with a black blindfold. The background should be like in the "Deep Dive" trailer. By the way, can you get this signature picture the exact way he is in the trailer. If possible, can you add in a moving picture of Blindfolded Riku with the Oblivion key?

I realize this is tough, but I would be extremely appreciative. Thank you, even if you don't do it.
If we're going into FM, then Limit form, hands down.
I have one word: Ragnorok, enough said.
By the way KairiXRiku, nice GazettE signature. "Filth in Beauty" is my favorite song :D. It's funny, because I have dreads that look similar to Ruki's in the "Filth in Beauty" video. Only difference is that mine look cooler .
I know that my info isn't 100%, but this I know. It was just an emblem to, just as you said, show the reader that it is a neutral boss. By the way, the creaters of the Brady Games Kingdom Hearts II guide have already said that the emblem was just used as something to SEPARATE the evil bosses from the good ones, nothing more.
By the way, this is for certain, there was already an article discussing it. So for now, I will speak "matter-of-factly."
I know what you're talking about, but no that is not an important symbol. It is merely an emblem indicating that the person is a boss. It's not like Cloud or Hayner are enemies.
I was saying that maybe Xehanort didn't always look like the portraits portrayed him to be.
Now on to your theory:
First off, excellent job. I'm pretty much convinced. What really got me was Kanji's point that adressed where Ven was. I didn't realize that Xigbar said that. If I did, I wouldn't have bothered to make my accusation. Disregard my claims that Ven is Xehanort. But hey, you never know...Nomura might pull a Hoodini on us...
I believe that the new enemy has already been released, but no one really noticed it. There was a trailer for the new KH series at the Tokyo Game Show that had Terra, Sora, and Roxas in it. Behind them, the word "Dis-Soul" appeared. I believe that dis-souls are the new enemies.
Here is why:
When a person becomes a slave to the dark, a heartless and a nobody are born.
Heartless crave hearts, and Nobodies crave bodies. As we all know, the human body is made up of more than just that. So I ask this: where does the person's soul go? I believe that the term "Dis-Soul" is short for discarded soul. I'm fairly certain that these are the new enemies. If these are the new enemies, you can bet that they will crave souls.
In regards to the chasers, I believe that everyone is going the wrong way. I'm not bashing your theory, but i'm merely "putting in my two cents."
If you look at a dictionary, a definition for "chaser" is "one who forges steel weaponry." I felt a light bulb turn on out there :D. I believe that the chasers are actually the ones who created the keyblades. Just a theory.
This is in addition to why I believe Ven is Xehanort and Terra is not:
1) If Terra is Xehanort, then where the hell is Ven? A character as important as him just doesn't disappear off of the face of the earth. And no, Ven did not die in the battle.
2) As I said before, Terra can't be in the prison room with Aqua and Fight Sora. Besides, the man that was talking to Aqua's armor was Xemnas, indication that he knows about the past. In addition, once someone becomes a nobody, the original body is destroyed. If Xehanort died and beared a heartless and a nobody, then how can Terra, who you believe is Xehanort, still be alive? Explain that for me with evidence.
3) With this in mind, how can Terra say "It must have been...Xehanort..." if you are saying that Terra is Xehanort. A person won't curse their own name.
4) As I have already explained, the portraits of Xehanort in Ansem's study were painted long after Ansem the Wise rescued Xehanort from death's door.
This is why I believe that Ven is Xehanort: If you look at some of the portraits of Xehanort, he seems quite old, much older than when Ansem the Wise first met him. Remember that Xehanort experimented with the heart. As we all know, Riku's appearance changed when the heart absorbing device created by Ansem the Wise exploded. Maybe Xehanort (when he still looked like Ven) lost his original look to a similar event, such as when he was experimenting with his own heart. This just might be the reason.
Having Ven be Xehanort is unexpected, which is also why I stand firm on my theory. If you guys don't believe, fine, I honestly don't care what anyone thinks about it, but I still believe it to be true. Only time will tell, but we will see who has the last laugh.
By the way, the person that called Aqua's armor "old friend" was Xemnas, not Xehanort.
And as for Terra being the Xehanort, bah, that is ******ed. If Terra fights Sora around the same time the cutscene occurs, this puts him in two different places, which as we all know is improbable. Terra can't be Xehanort, because he yells Xehanort several times, as if he was angry with him. They call Terra "master Xehanort's avenger," so how the hell can he avenge himself? Ven being Xehanort is kinda iffy, but I can GUARANTEE that Terra is NOT Xehanort.
I ALREADY backed up how Ven could be Xehanort. We know that Terra isn't Xehanort, because Terra is still alive and he cursed his name during the secret fight with Sora. If you grett a person with "old friend," you're indicating that you knew the person in the past. If Ven and Terra were the only friends that Aqua had, and we already know that it's not Terra, then it HAS to be Ven.
If you want to go into looks, notice Ven's hair color after he gets frozen; it's white. Maybe his hair color stayed like this and he grew it out. On the other hand, maybe the change of look is a result of going into the darkness. For example, Riku lost his original form when he bacame a slave to the darkness, so maybe the same thing happened to Ven. You might be saying "Ven doesn't go into Darkness!" If you ask this, you're forgetting something: when the bald-headed man ascended into what I believe is Kingdom Hearts, he unleashed darkness. This is indicated by Terra's eye color shifting from a light blue to a dark yellow.
