Which Xehanort would you consider the strongest? (DDD spoilers)

Well, if you meant Xemnas being the strongest bad guy in the entire series, then yes, I guess you could say that. I haven't played KH3D yet, so I haven't seen the rest of the bad guys.

 

A less than half completed artificial Kingdom Hearts.

 

Oh, I'm sorry, how many Kingdom Hearts have YOU merged with?
That's what I thought

 

Compared to other villains in the series, Vanitas' strength isn't that notable. In his strongest form, his strength came not only from the x-blade, but also having been combined with Ventus' heart.

 

How is it not an argument?
Xemnas may not have fused with a complete KH, but it's still well beyind a nything anybody ELSE has fused with.

 

It's not an argument because I'm not a KH character and because it's still a less than half complete artificial Kingdom Hearts.
You were basically saying to me: "But he still fused with it and you didn't. SUCK THAT!"
That wasn't even the real Kingdom Hearts, it was a false KH made from the hearts of people, and most of the hearts weren't even there anymore. And since when does fusing with something give you infinite power? He got the powerup we saw, and it was not enough to defeat Sora and Riku, who would probably get their asses whooped by King Mickey. And Sora defeats Xemnas alone in 3D, in his 14 years old body while being corrupted by darkness in a deep dream.

 

You're still missing the point.
Xemnas fused with KH. It wasn't complete, but nothing else in KH compares to that, so complaining that it's 'not the real thing' or something is invalid, because nothing better has come along yet.
Yes, he was defeated by Sora and Riku.
And Donald
And Goofy
And Mickey
And even then, Sora and Riku BARELY beat him.
The Xemnas that Sora beat in DDD was not fused with KH, beyond that, THAT form of KH1 Sora was already far stronger than the original KH1 Sora, who, I'll remind you, ALSO fought Xemnas.
There, I think I covered the points.

 

No, you're missing the point. Since when does nothing in KH compare with some hearts from some people? It's never stated how much power that KH can give, and we only see it giving power for Xemnas to hold his own against Sora and Riku for a while.
We never see Mickey fighting Xemnas, and Donald and Goofy gave a little help getting to him in his dimension and fighting his armored form, which Sora and Riku later beat alone while it was way stronger with attacks that could launch you out of the ship and stuff. Then they beat his final form alone. Period. They didn't barely beat him. The beat him. That's it.
And Xemnas in 3D had already fused with Kingdom Hearts, since it happens after KH. He still had his telekinesis and his warping TWTNW around.

 

The fact is, nobody has created anything anywhere enar the power level of KH.
You do fight Xemnas with Mickey; Armoured Xemnas is one of the fights where he can appear if you die. Donald and Goofy help you fight the first half of his forms, wearing him down.
And yes, they did BARELY beat him. It would have been impossible for a single person to defeat Xemnas. Why?
Five words.
Can you spare a heart?
Then, during the final blow, Xemnas is able to knock both Sora and Riku to the ground, and Sora has to use both his adn Riku's keyblades to beat him.
And Xemnas STILL severely wounds Riku.
That is not a curb stomp battle, that's a struggle to survive.
As for the DDD thing... you don't really get how time travel works, do you...? The thirteen Xehanorts were all brought to that moment by time travel. Even if that were not obvious, Ansem doesn't have his World of Darkness airship, and Xemnas doesn't have his zebra coat.

 

Your argument is still invalid.
It doesn't matter that he merged with kingdom hearts in the first place because there was nothing in it. Any organization member would resort as to merging with a nowhere completed, more weaker kingdom hearts. Although I do admit that it supplied him with incredible power --but still It doesn't matter because anyone of the members can do it.

 

You're taking me FAR too literally.
The point is that he's badmouthing Kingdom Hearts like it's nothing, it's still THE msot powerful thing anybody in the franchise has fused with.

 

....but I just said the exact same thing he said , I just explained it.
Anywho: In my opinion I think Terranort is the strongest because during Terra's fight against Xehanort he succumbed to the darkness at a huge level. It was said that his darkness was strong enough to even surpass Xehanorts level and we all know Xehanort is strong as shIt. Plus according to Xehanort he needed a new, younger, Stronger body. Think about it: if Terra's heart had a overpowerful darkness, and so do Xehanort what would happen if they fuse?
That's basically what Terranort Is. Terra and Xehanorts darkness combined into one which is I gotta say is freakn powerful.
That explains why he turned into a heartless when he gained his memory because he wasn't able to control it like he did back then allowing too much darkness in his heart at once.
Him and ansem are the exact same powerlevel but the Ansem has a disadvantage because he doesn't have a keyblade while Terranort does.

 

Nothing was said about surpassing Xehanort's darkness, just Terra succumbing to it.
Terra's body was stronger in that Xehanort's was literally DYING.
Additionally, darkness is stored in the heart, as such, Xehanort would not have access to Terra's darkness.
Terranort IS a valid candidate, just by the sheer fact that he has a keyblade, however.

 

I agree that Xemnas is currently the strongest version of Xehanort, next to Young Xehanort and Ansem. But how about Master Xehanort himself? his boss fight in BBS (before Terranort's fight) isn't that hard, but he is holding back his true power. In terms of Gameplay, It's Young Xehanort/Mysterious Figure who's the strongest. But Xemnas is the most powerful in terms of story. He is currently the only version of Xehanort to merge with Kingdom Hearts, even though it's artificial.
