>_< Then WHY call it Dolphin Kick?! WHY call a shark tail-fin kicking move DOLPHIN Kick?! That's pretty stupid if you ask me...
Does this NOT ring a bell?! I JUST said this! You didn't change anything!
Yeah... Still.. it's confusing enough... I always thought that the reason Roxas had two keyblades was because Sora was asleep, and his keyblade joined Roxas' OWN keyblade that he recieved the same way Sora did his. But then the drive forms got me confused.. and Roxas went and used both of his to fight Sora with... But Sora & Roxas are the most confusing.. Roxas having two nearly all the time.. and Sora going into his drive forms and recieving a second one temporarily.. It's confusing what happens there.. I mean, with drive form, I GUESS the hearts of Sora's party members who push Sora into his drive forms go to make the second keyblade.. maybe.. All I can be sure about is that the clothes have most to do with that. They help recover MP when all is lost, they turn Sora into his other-worldly forms (Atlantica, Halloween Town, Pride Lands) and allow him to go into Drive Form... The drive-form keyblades aren't explained... and Roxas & Riku are good about pulling random keyblades from their rear-ends...
Ha ha, ya gotta think about how many keychain combos WE could have in our reality. lol I don't know if I'd wanna be a free-will heartless, or an Organization Nobody.. With free-will Heartless, I am who I am, just w/ a nice tan and emotionless (good thing I'm already much of a thinker, cuz without emotion, all you've got is thought, that's what I think anyway) and can easily no doubt use the powers of darkness freely... Hm, but I guess if my heart's a good one, then I can be both at once.. My heart & the darkness within being the Heartless, and my body & spirit being the Nobody with the cool coat (I hope my Nobody would be accepted into the organization..) neat-o weapons and atleast one good special unique ability. I have to wonder.. how come all of the Organization Nobodies (and Namine') were able to travel through the corridors, but only Saïx could call up Heartless? AND Lexaeus used his "darkness", even though they keep saying they have no choice in the matter between light & darkness since they have no hearts to influence Riku's inner darkness... AND Zexion used light to envelop himself... but smelled of darkness... AND Roxas uses light during battle..
As long as you are one chosen by the Keyblade, if you can get your hands on someone else's Keyblade, it's all good. The original Keyblade of the world of light was originally meant to be Riku's, but with his desperate act with the darkness AND departure into it left it with Sora... and I'm supposing Sora's adventures and attachment to it, as well as the strength of heart he expressed when against Riku in his Dark Mode made it his again. Also, in the final battle with Dalmation Xemnas (lol) Riku passed his Way to Dawn to Sora, who used his Kingdom Key (or whatever Keychain the player was using) & the Way to Dawn together to beat the snot out of Xemnas... But anyone not specially chosen to wield a Keyblade, if THEY grasp it, 'bout a second after it'll just disappear and reappear in its true wielder's hand.. So, Riku COULD have kept the Oblivion fair-and-square. I actually don't agree totally with Zexion's post, that Roxas' Oblivion Keyblade went into Riku's possession and THAT is the Way to Dawn.. cuz ya have to remember how many stinkin' Keyblades there are and where they come from... If they aren't the SAME Keyblades that we've seen before, just different keychains. Sora: Kingdom Key (Light) (Riku's) Riku: Kingdom Key (Light) (His own, recieved back from Sora) Sora: Kingdom Key (Light) (Riku's, now having chosen Sora as its master) Dark Riku: ??Dark Keyblade?? (Incomplete Keyblade forged by the 6/7 hearts of the princesses) Mickey: Kingdom Key (Darkness) Roxas: Oblivion + Oathkeeper Riku: Oblivion Roxas: Oathkeeper (passed Oblivion to Riku) TT Roxas: Virtual Kingdom Key (Light) TT Roxas: Oblivion + Oathkeeper Sora: Kingdom Key (Light) (first appearance since the start of KH2) Mickey: Kingdom Key (Darkness) (same) Valor Sora: Kingdom Key (Light) + Other Keyblade Master Sora: Kingdom Key (Light) + Other Keyblade Final Sora: Kingdom Key (Light) + Other Keyblade Genie: golden lamp keyblade with the lower-most part of the handle streaming from his tail. Roxas: Oblivion + Oathkeeper (during dream-fight w/ Sora) Riku: Way to Dawn Riku: the flowery keyblade he gave to Kairi Kairi: the flowery keyblade Sora: Kingdom Key (Light) + Way to Dawn (end of fight w/ Xemnas) So... main question is what was going on with Sora's & Roxas' keyblades.. in the case of Roxas losing to Riku, being put in Virtual Twilight Town, and Sora's drive forms.. AND the difference between the Way to the Dawn, and the keyblade Riku gave to Kairi.
Dolphin Kick = DOLPHIN!! Shark Kick = SHARK!! Does Sora know a move called Shark Kick?! The many looks of RIKU! Basic islander clothes. Dark Riku, nice island skirt. lol Riku w/ Organization XIII jacket Riku w/ Organization XIII jacket w/ blindfold Xehanort's Heartless Riku Neo-Riku... doing well with keeping with the yellow color-scheme from KH.
A free-will Heartless is yeah, someone like Xehanort's Heartless... you're the same as you were, but your skin is darkened, you keep the memories of your existence as a regular person, you can think intelligently as you did, but can't feel emotions. Also, you can do what other Heartless can do, and order around other Heartless.. Heh heh, I did think about what practical uses a Keyblade could be used for in the real world... 1. Getting into closed places at night.. Example: Any store that doesn't stay open 24/7, such as K-Mart or Target. 2. Yay! Unlock the glass wall that protects the new-release games and systems.. 3. Unlock car doors... and just a guess.. start the ignition. LOL *aim Keyblade tip for ignition slot, beam shoots out.. vroom! lol 4. Go to court, likely to get time... pledge guilty. Just get some sympathetic muscle on your side on the inside.. so as to protect you from gunfire or anything.. and summon the Keyblade to your hand and bust everybody out, and hopefully the thankful ones will help ya out. 5. Straight-jacket, I thought about it... just drop the Keyblade somewhere inconspicuous and hopefully somewhere it won't be picked up BEFORE they strap ya up... then why you're on the inside call it back to you... it'll appear in your hands and bust the jacket open. LOL I think it'd be fun to play with keychains too...
Of these, in Kingdom Hearts, as of right now, what special kind of character would you want to be?
Yeah.. and here's one of those problems.. Where is Soul Eater and why does Way to Dawn look so much like it? (I wanted to see Riku turn Soul Eater into that long double-bladed version Xehanort's Heartless used while he was plugged into the World of Chaos..)
Simple. Equivalent Exchange. We give up our lives for the capacity for indepth thought. lol So now, we have no life, but can come up with complex ideas that can't totally be proven, since the creators have the final say. Fortunately for ourselves, money makes the world go round, so one of those decisions CANNOT be end the project suddenly. So for the time being, we're gonna speculate. I think the bald man is a whole different character... But DOES have to have some relationship with Xehanort, Heartless, Ansem, or his apprentices... If we are going by his clothes (which, as dumb as it sounds, is all we can really go on anymore..) Afterall, besides Riku (who he hit a bulls-eye with) with ASAS and DD, we thought Roxas was Sora... Mainly because we kinda WANTED him to be Sora, the glimpse of a face we had.. his Keyblades.. especially with 2 keychains we'd already seen, the Oathkeeper in-particular.. and his choice of throwing the Oblivion and not the Oathkeeper to Riku... I mean, that kinda could make you think Sora.. but then again, not all of us thought into the 3 extra Ansem Reports.. and thought it might be someone very MUCH like Sora instead. So, with the bald man, I got nothin' specific besides Ansem & Co., about the image of the knight with broken helmet, with the blue eyes and brown hair... it's likely not Sora himself... but.. SETO KAIBA! lol Ok, just kidding there, but we can assume in some way that this knight specifically has something to do with Sora.. especially if he is the knight who chose to dual-wield using Sora's Kingdom Key. But come to think of it though, one, where are they? two, what are Sora, Riku, & Mickey's keyblades doing out there and not w/ their wielders?
Well then again, Sephiroth had his sights locked on something, Cloud, or otherwise Cloud's heart. Sephiroth is the darkness in CLOUD's heart, he should much prefer to claim Cloud's heart for his own (I'm assuming by defeating him in battle, honorably by his own sword) rather than OTHER manifestations of darkness, (other Heartless) getting to him first. That's not to say he couldn't order and control his own. (really, we never see Heartless fight each other because we never see characters like Maleficient & Jafar, or Pete & Riku, etc. fight each other using the Heartless they control) Not to mention Xigbar, when even at that time, besides Roxas (Sora) the Organization was still working well together for one goal, and that goal required the Heartless, and yet he still blinked them all out before his fight with Sora & co, so it may be that because Heartless come by the truckload, it's acceptable to eliminate them yourself if the cause is great enough. (Sephiroth's case, his desire to come even with Cloud, Xigbar's was the honor of getting revenge on Roxas) Sephiroth may still be able to order his own Heartless if he wanted, but it's unlikely that he would do that, (I suppose unless for a distraction of outside annoyances) because he's after Cloud's heart, nothing more. One can't immediately assume the Corridors of Darkness are not open to Sephiroth either.. The transfiguration thing may be a little far-fetched, but I wouldn't be too surprised to see Seph transform himself to remind Cloud of his failures, etc. (example: transform into Biggs or Wedge, Zack, etc.)
Actually, that's not really dumb. That.... kinda makes sense... Although it does have a COUPLE problems...
Yeah, it is a good chance...It's not to say that Sephiroth isn't one step away from being a Heartless... and yeah, I couldn't see it any other way... Well, the XIII coat may be a bit much, but a Cloud with bad-*** wings of some kind, SIN HARVEST, lol maybe the opportunity to wield Masamune... Something...That's what I could see..
Ok, I'm talking Kingdom Hearts here. Unless Sephiroth was speaking entirely metaphorically, which I doubt, Sephiroth is the living incarnation of the darkness in Cloud's heart, no, according to Kingdom Hearts 2? Well, the fight may have been left ambiguous (such as if Tifa was making a connection to Cloud's heart via the light in HERS, or so long as Tifa practiced her loyalty he found the light in himself with which to fight back, OR where Cloud & Sephiroth were spirited away to) But thinking back to Riku, Xehanort's Heartless, Saïx, and few other minor characters, but mostly focusing on Xehanort's Heartless... If Sephiroth is the manifestation of Cloud's inner darkness who just hasn't overcome Cloud's light and claimed his heart, does that not mean the following: Sephiroth can command SOME Heartless, travel through the Corridors of Darkness, use transformation to take on the form of characters significant to other characters, (example: Shadow became Belle to piss off Beast, Night Walkers disguised themselves as members of Captain Li Shang's army) or even be absorbed into Cloud's being if he should accept the darkness inside him, (Giving Cloud a rather more bad-*** look, maybe wings, access to Masamune's strength, Seph's special KH-exclusive techs, etc. OrgXIII coat would be most-appropriate, lol)
Well, the only things we can work with ARE: The only one we have seen where the same outfit as the bald man now is Xehanort's Heartless AFTER he acquired Riku's body for his own... Before he appeared in a strange robe that looked like a sack... So... Hm, now, we can only affiliate the outfit and possibly the person wearing it with things regarding Xehanort.. (just as Org XIII worked, anyone wearing an ORG coat is either in the Org, or also believes in their approach to light & darkness together...) So, either this bald man is a Heartless born from an individual who threw his heart away of his own volition (which for some reason I doubt, since Xehanort was rather white, Xemnas was too, and Xehanort's Heartless, as well as Riku when he awoke him from his heart had a very-dark tan) a strange case like Xehanort (the original subject matter Ansem and his colleagues had was Xehanort's mysterious amnesia and power, and the connection this might have with the heart in general) Or possibly he is one of Ansem's other relative characters. We can only assume that this bald man has something to do with one or a combination of the following: Darkness, Heartless, Ansem, Ansem's apprentices, Xehanort, and/or Xehanort's Heartless.
Ok, I believe that Soul Eater BECAME the WAY to Dawn, when he was relieved from his obligation to use the darkness in such a manner as taking on the form of Xehanort's Heartless (anyone else getting tired of calling it that) he became able to use the Keyblade once again, since while he looked like dark-skinned Xehanort, he was technically a Heartless and thus unable to essentially wield the bane of the Heartless' existence. Because as you noticed, when Xehanort's Heartless had full control of Riku's heart and body, he was still a regular living being (not gonna say human, since Donald, Goofy, Pluto, etc. aren't human, but they aren't Heartless or Nobodies either) technically, and therefore could grasp a Keyblade.. But once Riku took on Xehanort's Heartless form he BECAME a Heartless, who I can presume cannot wield a Keyblade. Once Riku returned to his own appearance, and then clothes, he was still able to tap into the dark powers drawn from the darkness in his heart (but strangely now unable to call other Heartless or open Corridors) but has regained himself, and the light side of his heart, rather then just relying on his mental plans to help Sora, so is then again able to wield a Keyblade... and I suppose something as close as a signature weapon can have an attachment to the heart..so it became the Way to Dawn Keyblade.
