Kingdom Hearts The key of truth

I was wondering what made Ansem choose the key of truth as the symbol of his heartless? Also why did maleflicent use the symbol too she just cared about the darkness? IT DOESN'T MAKE SENCE!

 

This symbol? The one found on TAV and their master?

Spoiler

Well if you have beating the game you know that Aqua saves the newly created Xehanort the apprentice from falling into the realm of darkness. After this Xehanort is found by Ansem the Wise and becomes a apprentice. Ansem who at the time is beginning to study the heart, allows his new apprentice to work on the project. Xehanort takes the experiments to a whole new level and is able to create his own heartless. Xehanort who was found in Terra's clothing, saw the symbol and used it for the basic structure of his heartless symbol. Remember Ansem didn't create heartless in the realm of light, Xehanort did.

Well after being told to quit his experiments, Xehanort raised a coup against Ansem and banished him. He had already created a machine tp create new stronger heartless and the seal by this point. Him and the other apprentices then walked into the heart of Radiant Garden, and became heartless. Maleficent finds her way to the world and finds the throne empty, as well as the heartless. Maleficent then takes over the world, using the heartless and basically just took the symbol as her own.

 

wow stop I meant the key of truth the heartless symbol... and I didn't know it would link to bbs please next time spoiler tag them thanks

 

Oh, I'm very sorry. I saw the words "Key of truth" and though you have played BBS. I didn't realize I wasn't in the spoilers section.

 

Do you mean the Key to Truth from COM? If so, it means absolutely nothing. The developers used it to indicate a boss battle in the room that you make with that card.

 

I'm guessing that you mean Chain of Memories. They just chose random members that they beleived were symbols of the Kingdom Hearts series. In the Ansem Reports in KH1, it explains that the heartless who are "created" are given that mark, because they aren't purebloods. The card's symbols means nothing.

Key of Beginings (i think)=1 event card= Starting the story
Key of Guidance=2 event card=Continuing the story, leading you to the boss battle
Key of Truth=3 event card=boss battle, ending scene.

That's it.

 

Tummer is right. They were just the cards representing the doors on where to go next in the story so it won't take forever and a day to find the right door.

 

ok maybe I said it wrong sorry I call the heartless symbol the 'key of truth' because thats the only name it seems to have and it sounds better than saying 'the heartless symbol'
My question acctually was what made ansem think of that symbol? Its not really a simple symbol you could pluck out of the air. I also wanted to know why Maleflicent used that as her symbol too since her main consen was darkness so you would think she would favor the purebloods....

edit: don't worry WilliamTheWise I should of said I hadn't played it yet lol

 

I guess they saw the Heartless having them on their bodies and they just adopted the sign because he's pretty?

I honestly have no idea. I've never heard that question before. lol

 

I still should have been more careful, Okay I can likely clear up at your least 2nd question without spoilers.

Well after Xehanort created heartless, the symbol was born and given to his stronger artifical heartless. Xehanort and the other apprentices banished Ansem the Wise and later gave themselves to darkness and became heartless. Maleficent appears in Radiant Garden, finds the castle empty expect for the heartless. She then used them to take over the world and began finding the PoH. So basically she just found the symbol along with the heartless, and took them for her own goals.. She piggy backed off of Xehanort's work.

I honestly would say she would prefer emblem. While you are right, she is a heavy user of darkness, for the most part emblem are stronger than pureblood. And all heartless use darkness in some manner. So long as she got what she wanted it really didn't matter.

Well there are two types of heartless, Pureblood and emblem. Pureblood are the natural forms of heartless and lack symbols. Emblem heartless are man made. After Xehanort's experiments created heartless, he found he could create stronger heartless and those he made were given the symbol. So the source of the symbol can't be from the heartless themselves.

 

now thats an exsplanation! Thanks
