Sora's, Ven's, Riku's and even Aqua's growth?

.

 

Tiem flows differently in the RoD, Aqua hasn't been there long enough to show age yet.
Ventus doesn't age because he doesn't have a heart, as far as we know

 

Perhaps because Ven is in Castle Oblivion, his body forgot to age. (heh) Seriously though, if it was because he didn't have a heart then Axel wouldn't have aged either and he looks at least five years older in 2 than he did in BBS.

Although, holding to the forgetting-to-age thing at CO, you'd think Sora wouldn't age either. But the Pods were either in Twilight Town or moved there pretty quickly, to keep it safe from Org XIII who were still in CO looking for Ven (I assume).

 

Yeah I really think it's an writer's error. I mean I highly doubt that it has to do with being another realm.

 

Ventus' body is completely devoid of a heart, Axel was growing a new one

 

It makes perfect sense. Logic plays zero part in KH. The creators aren't concerned with such frivolous things. The only reason Sora and Riku aged was so they could make them look cooler.

 

Isa haven't grown a new heart but it seems he is at least 5 years older than in BBS. Howewer, Xemnas seems having about the same age as Terra-Xehanort in BBS. Braig, Even, Aeleus and Dilan too, they seem having the same age.

 

Kids age in anime
Adults don't

 

I always thought it was a few years after the events of BBS that the apprentices and the others took part in the experiment that made them become nobodies. That's why Ienzo is a little kid in BBS but it's not until he's older and already aged naturally that he becomes a Nobody, and then stops changing and growing from that point. Same is true for Lea and Isa. I'm not sure about Aqua though. Since Ansem the wise ended up there too, maybe the dark realm is kinda like an afterlife where lost hearts go?

 

Time flows different in every world (as Riku said in DDD). If you think about it Cinderela/Aurora should be like 40 now because they appeared in BBS, but at KH I they seem as old as they were in BBBS. Maybe worlds trapped in darkness do not have flow of time at all (thus all destroyed worlds, when they were saved by Sora returned to the point previous to their destruction). If is that right that "darkness stops time flow", it explains why Aqua does not age in the realm of darkness.

The same thing seems to happens with HEARTLESS, when they are saved by the keyblade (and their nobody if they have one), they come back being as they were before (maybe because they started living in darkness?), Ventus lost his heart to darkness and was saved by Sora, so maybe when his heart comes back he will be the same age.

Sora however never lost his heart (even as a heartless) so he never stoped aging.

As for the organization, we don't see all of them losing their hearts, do we? If I remember only Xigbar, Xaladim and Luxor are show.. maybe they ones that were kids (Isa,lea and the emo one) lost their hearts after?

 

It's not exactly certain what's holding Ventus together at this point; it may be that Castle Oblivion is preserving a memory of him, rather than his full and complete self, thus freezing him in time. As for Aqua, yeah, I think we're going with Dark World Shenanigans™. Sad to say Below is probably right and they just didn't think of these things at the time, because the Land of Departure crew was basically retconned into the series.

 

I thought it was because Aqua was in the Realm of Darkness and time flowed differently there and Ven is technically "dead" as he no longer has a heart so he wouldn't have aged. Though we could just be making excuses for a writers oversight. Who knows, maybe Ventus will be in his 20's when Sora gets to him

 

Ven is in a Comma he cant grow. Besides he not even a real boy. He was born from the X blade.

Nd like everyone else said time flows differently in RoD so Aqua doesnt age as quickly.

 

Please tell me the Ventus thing isn't serious.

 

Do I look SERIOUS?

 

This is a serious section, so yes.

I'm actually questioning whether you played BBS or not. I mean, Ventus is more real than Roxas. If you think Ventus isn't a real boy, I question your KH knowledge (should it exist)

 

If it didnt exist we would not be having this discussion.

 

I thought about that and that's my hypothesis: Ventus' body is like dead, because he lost his heart, so he can't grow. While Sora was only sleeping. Nobodies are exceptions, because they can live without heart.

 

I always assumed that whenever they show Ventus, Aqua, and Terra in Sora's dreams(KH 3D) and in point blank that it had more to do that they were some kind of spirit or something; seeing as in most supernatural tv series ghosts tend to manifest themselves looking the way they were BEFORE or during their death. I'm not saying TErra, Ventus, and Aqua died, but they technically are in a comatose like state...at least Terra and ventus. I know Terra's body has aged since we do in fact SEE him as Xehanort, but his Mind probably doesn't perceive it that way. In point blank(That's what it's called right?) we see Terra having a conversation with Old Xehanort where they argue who will win this battle over the body. Terra still looks himself while Xehanort still looks old; even though we clearly see Xehanort walking around in Terra's current young body. *Shrug*

 

No. Ven was a regular boy who had the darkness torn from his heart (Vanitas), thereby making his heart pure light. Master Xehanort did this on purpose in order to create the X-blade, by having Vanitas fight Ventus. This is Ven's only connection to the X blade.

And I think it's more likely that the reason he doesn't grow is because the room he is in is cut off from regular time-flow. There's nothing in the series that indicates that people don't grow when they're in a comma as far as I know. In a similar way to RoD not experiencing time normally, I would more easily accept a similar situation occurring in CO, especially in the special room Ven is in. Even though Sora was only "asleep" he did grow during the year his memories were being rewritten, which gives credence to my theory.
