| I guess it all just simply comes down to the fact that we'll have to wait for 2.8, KH3, and future games to come out to really know the answers to these things for sure. I imagine that series like KH are incredibly difficult and frustrating to make/run a wiki for because of how convoluted it is and you don't know exactly what is fact and what is not. It annoys me when I see people on forums, reddit, etc who think that they know the definite answers to things like this are and spread false information which makes everyone even more confused and there's not much you can do about it until you have solid proof about something. But whatevs. I'm sure I'll come back to this page or wherever on this wiki to discuss this topic again once a new game comes out and we get some proof of something or answers to unanswered questions. Also, I actually began reading every single KH interview the other day and if I come across anything that I think could be added as a citation, I'll make sure to do so. --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 02:11, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

| Sorry to bring this topic back up again for the thousandth time, but I read the Secret Ansem Reports about a dozen times, and I'm pretty certain that I have a complete understanding of everything now. Everything is completely explained in the Secret Ansem Reports. Here's everything explained (with proof):<br/>
| |
|
| |
| Pureblood Heartless definitely do not have hearts. ("Those beings who lack hearts—the Heartless—must be the key.") ("Cursed shadows who not only lack hearts")<br/>
| |
| Pureblood Heartless are the darkness of people's hearts. They are not the heart itself. ("The darkness of the heart, made flesh.") ("When a person's heart is stolen, a Heartless is born")<br/>
| |
| When someone becomes a Heartless, their heart disappears and fades away into darkness. ("A being does not perish when its heart leaves its body. The heart alone disappears into the darkness.")<br/>
| |
| Emblem Heartless were originally created by a machine that Terra-Xehanort created. ("Not only did they generate "pureblood" Heartless from living hearts, but they then used those Heartless to synthesize artificial versions of the creatures as well. These synthetic Heartless bore insignias and were called "Emblems."")<br/>
| |
| Emblem Heartless can also be created by other Emblem Heartless stealing their heart. This is why the man in Traverse Town turned into a Soldier. ("the Heartless would easily steal the human's heart and use it to increase their own ranks.")<br/>
| |
| Ansem, Seeker of Darkness is a Heartless. ("As I had suspected, Xehanort had become a Heartless.")<br/>
| |
| It is unknown whether Ansem, Seeker of Darkness is Pureblood or Emblem because it is unknown how he was created. It is unknown if Terra-Xehanort's heart left his body and faded into darkness by him unlocking it or if he used his machine/gotten another Emblem Heartless to turn himself a Heartless. If he unlocked his heart, then he would've became a Pureblood, if he used his machine/gotten an Emblem Heartless to consume him, then he would've turned into an Emblem. He most likely turned himself into a Heartless using the machine. I think this because of what Young Xehanort says in DDD. He says "that is Xehanort, reduced to just a heart." Emblem Heartless are hearts that have been synthesized into Heartless. ("to synthesize artificial versions of the creatures as well.") Pureblood Heartless are not hearts, that's why they were originally called "Heartless." So, he is most likely an Emblem. I do not believe that the Robed Figure was actually simply Xehanort's heart because of what Ansem the Wise says in the Secret Ansem Reports about hearts falling and fading into darkness when they leave the body and it has never been said anywhere that a heart is a Heartless. Hearts and Heartless are two completely different things, so what would be the purpose of them being called different things if they were the same thing. Many people say that when a heart leaves the body, it is a Heartless, which is simply not true.<br/>
| |
|
| |
| Another thing I wanted to note is that no Emblem Heartless ever existed before Terra-Xehanort created them. This also proves the fact that Emblem Heartless can only be created when another Emblem Heartless turns them into one (and can be created by the machine of course). So saying that Emblem Heartless are created when someone's heart is forcefully consumed by darkness is true. It is true because, from what we've seen so far, the only things that can forcefully consume someone's heart with darkness is Emblem Heartless. No one else can do that. Pureblood Heartless just simply devour hearts, which means they're gone forever, just like when a heart leaves the body. When an Emblem Heartless is killed, then they fade away forever as well (so do Purebloods). But when an Emblem Heartless is killed by a Keyblade, then the heart is released and goes out to return to its body, but if its body never became a Nobody, then the heart is doomed to either fade away to darkness or be devoured by Purebloods, which is essentially the same thing. When a Pureblood is destroyed, like I said, it is gone forever. Terra-Xehanort, along with his apprentices, used their machine to turn themselves into Emblem Heartless (presumably). This is why they were able to come back as complete beings when their Heartless and Nobodies were destroyed. This is not possible with a Pureblood, because they do not have the heart inside of them. We have never seen anyone become a complete person after their Pureblood is destroyed, so we have no reason to believe that it's possible to happen. The only case we've seen that happen is with Sora. The only reason that this happened to Sora is because of Kairi. Kairi used her heart to restore Sora's heart. ("Sora's Heartless regained human form using Kairi's heart instead of his own.")<br/>
| |
|
| |
| So, in the KH universe, when your heart leaves your body, it fades away (unless it finds another body to take refuge in). And when the heart leaves the body, the darkness within the heart comes out and turns into a Pureblood Heartless. When this Pureblood Heartless is destroyed, then it's destroyed forever. Also, when the heart leaves the body, the body and soul fade away as well. If you had a strong enough heart before it left your body however, your soul will continue living on inside your body and your body will live on, this is called a Nobody. The stronger your heart is, the more and more your Nobody looks like you. When a Nobody is destroyed, they're gone forever (unless you became an Emblem Heartless instead of a Pureblood. If you became an Emblem and the Emblem is destroyed as well, then you will become a complete person again). Nobodies can also grow their own hearts and become complete people again that way. It is currently unexplained what happens if they have a corresponding Emblem Heartless instead of Pureblood and it's destroyed. Maybe the heart returns to that person and they get two hearts, maybe it returns and merges together with the heart they grew, or maybe it notices that the body doesn't need a heart any longer and it just fades away into darkness or gets devoured by Purebloods.<br/>

| As for AntiSora, then yeah, they're just the darkness from Riku's heart animated. As for Scar, it's still unknown if he became a Heartless or not and it's up for debate. Pete said "Anger and jealously" is what turned him into a Heartless, which cannot happen, so it's completely possible that Pete could have been false about the rest of that statement. What could've also happened though is that when Simba pushed him off the cliff, Scar "died", and his heart left his body and faded away and a Heartless was quickly created and he quickly jumped back on the ledge to fight. One could say that only a Heartless could be able to jump that high, but it has been seen with people such as Xehanort, that people with strong darkness begin to get superhuman and Heartless-like abilities. This is also a reason to believe Scar didn't turn into a Heartless as well though. He could've just gotten strong with the darkness and gained superhuman abilities like Xehanort and many of the other villains. But yeah, it doesn't say in the Journal anything about Scar being a Heartless, so the answer to this is completely unknown.

| EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to mention something. What happens when someone ''chooses'' to be consumed by the darkness in their heart? Well, they get consumed by it and fall into the Realm of Darkness. This is seen with Riku in KH1 and Terra-Xehanort in BBS. Riku got consumed by the darkness in his heart on Destiny Islands. Terra-Xehanort got consumed by the darkness in his heart when he unlocked his heart with his Keyblade. Huh, I guess this also answers a question I've had for a while. That question was "What's the difference between stabbing yourself in the heart with the Keyblade of Heart and any old Keyblade?". I guess the answer is that stabbing yourself in the heart with any Keyblade makes you be consumed by the darkness, which takes you into the Realm of Darkness, and stabbing yourself with the Keyblade of Heart makes your heart fade away to darkness and then the darkness in your heart becomes a Heartless. When you "die" from being attacked, hit, stabbed, or anything along those lines, your heart leaves your body and the darkness turns into a Pureblood Heartless. This is seen when Xehanort attacks Eraqus with some sort of dark magic blast. This is also seen when Sora destroys all the Disney Villains. Their bodies fade away. Eraqus' heart getting released when he "dies" proves that all of these villains who died's hearts left their bodies and they became Heartless. So basically, stabbing yourself with the Keyblade of Heart basically acts as if you're "killing yourself", like you would with any other weapon, while stabbing yourself with a regular Keyblade makes you fall into the Realm of Darkness, like I said. --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 04:21, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

| :That is not completely correct. Neither the man who became a Soldier, nor the soldiers who became Nightwalkers, are shown having their hearts stolen by Heartless. They are simply shown succumbing to darkness, though I guess you could argue that the man in Traverse Town ''appears'' to be running from something unseen. Furthermore, the fact that Xehanort's Heartless (brown cloak man) is repeatedly confirmed to be a Heartless by the Ultimania and Nomura, and is confirmed by the ''central plot gimmick of KH3D'' to be a heart, in addition to previous mentions of Xehanort's heartless residing in Riku's heart, demonstrates that Heartless are synonymous with hearts.
| |
| :Saix says "Pitiful Heartless, mindlessly collecting hearts. And yet they know not the true power of what they hold. The rage of the Keyblade releases those hearts." He says that the Heartless are ''holding'' the hearts that the Keyblade releases, and that it is ''when the Keyblade releases those hearts'' that they gather in darkness, to form Kingdom Hearts. If the hearts had already faded into darkness when the Heartless took them, the Organization wouldn't need Sora to slay them. Also, multiple times the characters talk about people being "turned into" or "transformed" into Heartless, and in KH2, talk about how that would also produce a Nobody. We are very clearly, explicitly told that the Nobody is formed from the body and soul -- so what part is left to "turn into" the Heartless? The heart. The Secret Ansem's Report says "A human's commands would be ineffective: the Heartless would easily steal the human's heart and use it to increase their own ranks," indicating that it is the heart that is used to create new Heartless, not just the theft. According to Yen Sid, Xehanort's Heartless "seized" his heart, so I suppose we could say that the Heartless is a shell of darkness around the "captured" heart, and we have as many sources saying the Heartless "stole" the heart as we do sources saying that the Heartless is an "existence of just the heart", so for our purposes the two are equivalent. The heart is definitely "present" if a Heartless is there, so at best it's differentiating the egg from the yolk that is always inside of it as long as it continues to be an egg.
| |
| :Next, Xemnas says "A heart is never lost for good," and the mythology behind Kingdom Hearts is that it is where ''all'' hearts go when they are set adrift, so we definitely can't say that any have been destroyed "for good" unless we're told so.
| |
| :According to the plot mysteries, there's no real difference between stabbing yourself with the Keyblade of heart or using another Keyblade -- Sora had to use the Keyblade of heart because he is not a being of darkness, and stealing a heart requires the power of darkness. If Riku-Ansem still had Sora's Keyblade, he could have achieved the same effect. ("Beings of darkness can draw out the darkness in the heart, so Master Xehanort could summon the Neoshadows with his own hands.")
| |
| :Ansem's reports do not demonstrate that they have been dissected and shown to lack hearts -- they demonstrate that they ''behave'' as if they do not have hearts, which makes sense if they are incomplete beings.
| |
| :In addition, KHX is set before the machine appeared, and is chock full of Emblem Heartless. Whether that is due to them time traveling from the future, or Ansem's machine was simply recreating the effects of what happened before the Keyblade War, it is demonstrably false to claim that they did not exist before the machine.
| |
| :Finally, Xaldin was attempting to turn Beast into a Heartless, and his method of doing so was to cause Beast to succumb to anger and rage, just as Pete said Scar succumbed to. Most of the villains, having succumbed to darkness, could be said to be in the stages of becoming a Heartless, but we are not told that the transformation is definitely underway except in Scar's case. I suppose you could argue that Scar has not completed the process, and thus is not truly a Heartless, but we'd need Nomura or the Ultimania to confirm that.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 05:15, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

| :"but if its body never became a Nobody, then the heart is doomed to either fade away to darkness or be devoured by Purebloods, which is essentially the same thing.". No. The man from Traverse Town was shown to have been recompleted at the end of KH1 during the credits roll. Basically, while every Nobody has a corresponding Heartless, not every Heartless has a corresponding Nobody. As a side note, this is how Ienzo in KH3D knows so much about recompletion.

| ::I'm pretty sure that that was just a re-use of character models. In Traverse Town after that man dies, we see a completely identical man again later and they even make a little joke about it. He mentions that we must be mistaken or something like that. It was just a re-use of character model and I'm assuming the after credits was as well. I always assumed that when you "die" (heart leaves the body), your body and soul fades while what's left of you turns into a Heartless. And if you had a strong enough heart, then your soul will continue living on in your body, making your body live on. And once both that body (your Nobody), and your Heartless get destroyed, then you become complete again. I'm pretty certain that you ''need'' both your Heartless and Nobody to be destroyed for you to return, and if you don't have a Nobody, like most people, then you're dead for good. If this wasn't true, then everyone in the KH universe would be completely eternal aside from dying of old age. So, I'm pretty sure it's false to say that someone without a Nobody can be completed if just their Heartless is destroyed. It wouldn't make sense scientifically either since in the KH universe, when your heart leaves your body, your body and soul fades away. If that man's body and soul faded away, then how would it be possible for him to return if only his Heartless was destroyed? I could be wrong though --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 06:15, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
| |
| :::You are wrong. The body and soul don't fade away ''forever'', they disappear into the darkness until the corresponding Heartless is destroyed. Just like how the destroyed worlds disappeared into darkness but were brought back after Ansem was defeated. Also, why would they bother showing that NPC during the credits other than to show that he's back to normal?

| ::::They were simply just showing the man from Traverse Town. Not the one that got turned into a Heartless. They were showing the one that they re-used a character model for. "they disappear into the darkness until the corresponding Heartless is destroyed." This has never been said in KH at all, so we have no reason to believe that that is how things work. All we know is that someone returns a complete person after both their Heartless and Nobodies are destroyed. It has never been said anywhere that they return just by their Heartless being destroyed. --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 22:41, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

| :::::Why would they show him? Wouldn't it make more sense to show the man who returned to being human? He was in the Second District, after all. Ienzo in KH3D: "When someone whose lost their heart is recompleted, they should return to the place where it happened.". Nobody involved or not.

| ::::::The man who took over for Cid in the Accessory Shop is not the same man who became a Soldier Heartless in the Second District, they just happen to be completely identical. Like I said, it's most likely just a re-use of a character model and when you talk to him in the Accessory Shop for the first time, he even mentions that you have him mistaken for someone else, which proves that it is simply a different person. Also, I just watched the credits for KH1, and that man was no where to be seen in the credits. --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 06:09, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
| |
| ::::::::Death does not happen until the soul leaves the body. That's been in the canon since the beginning. Merely being turned into a Heartless doesn't kill you, and every game has talked about returning the people and worlds whose hearts were lost to darkness. We don't need to be told that you don't have to have a Nobody, because we were told you could return them even before we learned that Nobodies existed. A Nobody's body and soul fade into darkness just like the body and soul do if they weren't strong enough to form a Nobody in the first place -- that's where they wait for the heart to rejoin them. Nomura was very emphatic that the Heartless/Nobody process wasn't supposed to be an analogue to death, whose mechanics he preferred to not treat as a major plot point (the source of the inaccurate fanon that death doesn't exist in the KH universe).{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 15:47, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

| ::::::::Ah, okay. Makes sense. I still think it's likely that the man in the Accessory Shop was not the same man who became a Soldier because of what he says when you first talk to him. I guess it's also possible though that he ''is'' the same guy and he just lost his memories of when he was a Soldier, which is extremely likely now that I think about it. Yeah, that's probably what happened. We'll never know for certain though unless Nomura brings it up in an interview which isn't likely at all since that Traverse Town man is not relevant at all. --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 00:43, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

| On a side note from all of this, I wanted to ask a question. Has there ever been a time where we've seen a heart being stolen, other than the time in Traverse Town? If so could I have some examples? I was thinking about this because on the [[Heartless]] page, it says "Once that machine was activated, most stolen hearts become Emblems, provided they contain darkness." The part of this sentence that I'm concerned about is the "Once that machine was activated" part, because if we've never seen a heart being stolen before the machine was activated, then who's to say that stolen hearts becoming Emblems was just a thing that began after the machine was activated? I think this sentence should simply say "Stolen hearts become Emblems as well, provided they contain darkness." since we don't know if, why, or how the machine started it. The two ways to create an Emblem is with the machine and a heart being stolen. Since this is the case, then what would happen if someone stole someone's heart before the machine was created? It would create an Emblem, right?, it just probably wouldn't have the Emblem logo on it. The reason why I'm asking if we've ever seen someone's heart being stolen other than the man in Traverse Town is because I believe that Emblems are the only things that ''can'' steal hearts. I'm pretty sure that we've never seen anyone else steal a heart before. It says in the Secret Ansem Reports that Emblems steal hearts and use them to increase their ranks. It never says that any other person like a being of darkness or something, such as Maleficent or Xehanort can do this, so I'm pretty sure that Emblems are the only beings that have the ability to steal hearts because they do so to increase their ranks. Purebloods consume hearts which turns them into more Purebloods, right? Or do the hearts they consume just fade into darkness? Anyways, that's off-topic. So yeah, have we ever seen anyone other than Emblems steal hearts and turn them into other Emblems? (other than Terra-Xehanort's machine of course). --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 06:49, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

| ::The only definition of Emblem Heartless that I know of, in regards to creating them, is that they are artificial Heartless that were invented by Ansem's apprentices, and that they created a machine to make them. Now, they appear in KHX anyway, but that could just be time travel using the Book of Prophecies. In any case, we see people becoming Emblem Heartless with absolutely no Heartless or machine nearby - most notably, the Nightwalkers in The Land of Dragons. We ''cannot claim'' that the heart has to be stolen by an Emblem, because we have proof positive that you can become an Emblem even if you lose your heart a different way. In fact, the time in Traverse Town doesn't even depict what kind of Heartless the guy was running from. As far as the machine is concerned, we have no reason to believe that the person has to be literally hooked up to the machine -- the same person also somehow invented a technique so that any Emblem slain by a Keyblade, no matter the world, was sent to his personal, artificial Kingdom Hearts. It's very, very easy to believe that the machine makes it so that any stolen/lost heart, no matter the world, becomes an Emblem Heartless, so there's no reason to believe "the machine" is a separate method from "hearts being stolen".
| |
| ::As for who can steal hearts, the Ansem Reports, KHII, and Days are all pretty clear that ''all'' Heartless steal hearts. The difference just appears to be whether they are simply siphoned darkness (and so empty on the inside), or that same darkness covering a stolen heart (and so release a heart when destroyed). Honestly, I'd wager that the reason Sora became a Shadow was because his heart went into Kairi, and was not actually inside the Shadow as we played it.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 17:56, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
| |
| :::Okay, yeah you're right. Knowing Kingdom Hearts and the things that have happened before, it's not so hard to believe that a machine could affect all hearts like that. --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 22:17, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

| I thought of an explanation to the man in Traverse Town and the soldiers in Land of Dragons turning into Emblem Heartless. There's no proof to it, it's just something I thought of. I believe that hearts consumed by the darkness within your heart or consumed by other Purebloods, become Purebloods, and I believe that hearts created by the machine and hearts consumed by other Emblems, become Emblems. Here's my explanation to why those people we saw became Emblems: I believe that people become Emblems when another Emblem is the catalyst of their heart being consumed by darkness. For example, those soldiers in the Land of Dragons. I think that they were attacked by Emblem Heartless, which added to the darkness in their heart, which made darkness consume their heart. I think that when you're attacked by a Heartless, darkness from the Heartless gets into your heart and can affect it and if that Heartless' darkness completely consumes your heart, you become a Heartless. So, this means that those soldiers in the Land of Dragons were previously fighting some Emblem Heartless, and by doing so, darkness go into their hearts and was slowly eating away at them, and then they eventually turned into Emblem Heartless. This same thing could be applied to the man in Traverse Town who was seen turning into a Soldier Heartless. But yeah, there's no proof for this claim, but what do you think? --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 04:15, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Ah well, don't let my opinion offend or deter you, keep it up! [[User:Rex Ronald Rilander|Rex Ronald Rilander]] ([[User talk:Rex Ronald Rilander|talk]]) 04:26, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

| ::It's plausible, but we can't make that claim on the article because we simply don't know whether those soldiers were even attacked by Heartless, much less which kind they were. Hell, Scar wasn't attacked by any Heartless at all, and his darkness revived as ghosts and eventually became an Emblem. A long-dead dragon was revived by Xigbar and became an Emblem, too. Honestly, the only Pureblood that we see definitely created from a person once the machine was active is Sora, and he was using the Keyblade of heart that Riku-Ansem specifically said would draw out his darkness. We badly need to rewrite the Heartless and Heart articles to ''only'' make claims that are backed up by the canon.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 05:38, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

| :::Nevermind, after thinking about it, you're right. After the machine was activated, everyone becomes Emblems rather than Purebloods, and the reason Sora became a Pureblood is because his heart most likely took refuge inside of Kairi, so the darkness was not able to get to his heart and create an Emblem. The darkness was just left there to become a Pureblood instead. Makes complete sense. As for the pages, yeah they definitely need to be completely redone and sourced. --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 09:23, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
