{{Q|Absent Silhouettes, presences of those who were slain. Exactly, though they come in all different shapes and sizes. The item belongs to its owner, who is now nothing more than a shadowy presence. But you can still fight them, of course. And as you do, it'll slowly awaken the real you.|Demyx's explanation}} | |||
An {{nihongo|'''Absent Silhouette'''|アブセント・シルエット|Abusento Shiruetto}} is a phantom version of one of the five [[Organization XIII]] members who were eliminated at [[Castle Oblivion]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'': [[Vexen]], [[Lexaeus]], [[Zexion]], [[Marluxia]], and [[Larxene]]. They appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'' as a set of optional bosses, and upon defeat, they relinquish a [[Lost Illusion]] and a synthesis [[Recipe]] that allows the Moogles to craft a replica of the defeated Organization member's signature weapon. Defeating an Absent Silhouette also allows Sora to challenge his or her [[Organization XIII Replica Data|Data Rematch]] at the [[Cavern of Remembrance#Garden of Assemblage|Garden of Assemblage]]. | An {{nihongo|'''Absent Silhouette'''|アブセント・シルエット|Abusento Shiruetto}} is a phantom version of one of the five [[Organization XIII]] members who were eliminated at [[Castle Oblivion]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'': [[Vexen]], [[Lexaeus]], [[Zexion]], [[Marluxia]], and [[Larxene]].

Whenever [[Sora]] challenges an Absent Silhouette to a battle, the Absent Silhouette takes the form of the slain member it represents and fights him. The Absent Silhouette initially appears as a dark sphere depicting a silhouette of the slain member's weapon, with thornbeams and wisps of the respective member's element circling around it.<ref>As Zexion's element of Illusion is immaterial, his sphere represents it by fading in and out.</ref> When Sora accepts an Absent Silhouette's challenge, it warps him, as well as Donald and Goofy, to the location that the Organization member it represents was defeated.<ref>The battle against Marluxia's Absent Silhouette mimics the first phase of his final battle, without his Second and Third Forms.</ref> There, it challenges them to an arduous battle. | Whenever [[Sora]] challenges an Absent Silhouette to a battle, the Absent Silhouette takes the form of the slain member it represents and fights him.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]'', the [[Vanitas Remnant]] and the [[Battle Mission]] Unversed appear throughout the worlds. Like the Absent Silhouettes, the Vanitas Remnant initially appears as a dark sphere depicting the Keychain of the [[Void Gear]], and the Battle Mission Unversed appear as dark spheres depicting the Unversed emblem. However, the spheres are only surrounded by wisps of darkness, without any thornbeams. | In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]'', the [[Vanitas Remnant]] and the [[Battle Mission]] Unversed appear throughout the worlds.

==Trivia== | |||
*It was once suggested that the Absent Silhouette is a type of Nobody, since it appears in the same fashion a Nobody does, although this is most likely untrue, as Vanitas's Remnant appears after what seems to be an Absent Silhouette, and Vanitas was an Unversed, not a Nobody. | |||
