Kingdom Hearts II The Awakening (a theory to end all theories)

Ok, it seems to make relatively believable sense; BM is old and fragile and he needs a new body, so he jacks ES's....except, that sounds really familar....oh yeah, that's the plot of KHI!

But in KHI, it works differently than the theory being presented. When Xehanort takes control of Riku, he doesn't assume the form of a Riku/Xehanort hybrid, he takes the form of Xehanort. And he only shows the ability to assume the forms of Riku or Xehanort. Same with Riku; he can only use his natural form, and that of Xehanort. Considereing Xehanort is no longer in Riku's body, it can be assumed that Riku is taking on Xehanort's true form.

Sooooooo, since Riku and Xehanort don't blend physical appearance, we can say that if BM was Xehanort, he could not blend appearances with ES. Xehanort is, thus, not BM merged with ES.

Edit: Oh, yeah, I forgot; Riku existed as just a heart without "Awakening"

 

I'm sorry, I don't see how your analysis of the appearance of all our happy posessors of people's bodies contradicts my theory. Xehanort is BM's heart and mind within ES's body, so it's normal he has the appearance of the ES. It's true, when XH took Riku's body, he was able to switch from Riku's appearance to his (the ES) when he had obtained total control. The reason he and Xehanort don't take BM's appearance is because they don't remember it : Xehanort lost all memories of his time before Radiant Garden.

Concerning Riku...when did he exist solely as a heart ?

 

Xehanort regained his memories as Xemnas. And yet, he still is in half Xehanort/BM half ES form? The only other time we have seen anybody possessed, the result was not a blending, but a straight transition. Now, give me one good reason why Xehanort/BM would take ES's body, and instead of having his own form he takes a blending of himself and ES? It makes absolutely no sense! It isn't because he can't remember his true form; Xehanort abandons his body, and this body doesn't change back to its original form, which for all intents and purposes it should. Without BM's heart, ES's body should go back to normal. Also consider that when this body was abandoned, the heart (Which should be BM's and therefore have his identity) continues to use the physical appearance of Xehanort. (After it takes control of Riku)

Not to mention Xehanort as we know him doesn't look too much like ES. Look at the height comparison; there is a huge difference between them.


Riku exists as just a heart after Xehanort steals his body. He appears much like a phantom in the realm of darkness and is led to the door by Mickey's voice.
