Let us start with comparing the heads. Both have the metal plumes coming off on both sides and are identical in almost every way except for color. The only difference is that Xemnas dons a crown. All the keyblade armors have unique shoulder armors, so does Xemnas's. Compare the design and structure of the chest it's quite similar. The key difference here is that Xemnas's is parted by a nobody insignia in the center. Both armors feature elongated arm guards from the lower arm. Xemnas's is quite a deal larger but most everything in his armors design is over the top to add a powerful feel to it. Now I'd like to direct your attention to the feet. Both have metal wings that sprout from them. Xemnas's armor has much smaller ones but they are clearly there.

There really ''isn't'' a resemblance between Xion's armor and the Trinity Armor, certainly not a greater one than between Xion's armor and Keyblade Armor. I would say there is a bit of resemblance with the [[Armor of Eraqus]], though...  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 06:10, December 8, 2010 (UTC)

the only way i am agreeing with Bijinder in any sort, type, fashion, which, way, or form is that if we're just mentioning the similarities between Xemnas' and Xion's armor to Keyblade Armor, then we should at least take the images out of the List of Armors section and into their respective sections, because since the name "List of Amors" seems to imply list of Keyblade Armors so it could tend to be really confusing--{{User:ShadowsTwilight/Sig}} 06:21, December 8, 2010 (UTC)

Kryton: The evidence you brought to prove the symbol the nobodies uses is master Xehanort actully said that it came from Terranort's memory of the mark of mastery(the part where he mentions the symbol is he is talking about Xemnas and Terranort's memories[http://kh13.com/mybb/showthread.php?tid=5275]) and in that very article the symbol is refer to as the nobody's mark by Nomura himself. I believe it would be best to wait until the final mix or hopefully a final mix ultimania come out before we start labeling No Heart as Master Xehanort's Keyblade armor, and on a final note I actually believe your extremly solid theory, but it still doesn't mean it should be treated as fact until Nomura confirms it, and no, anagrams are not confirmations.--[[User:Masgrande|Masgrande]] 03:08, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

== Armor ==
I would like to clarify an issue.The Keyblade Armor is said to be usually used by Keyblade wielders but it is neve sad that non-keyblade users can't use it.Those who are not Keyblade wileders can still use the armor,its armor people all you have to do is put it on.This is why the armor that Xemnas uses should be considered Keyblade armor.The armor that Xion wears can be considered Keyblade armor as well since she uses it to protect her and it can appear in a flash of light like most Keyblade armor can.--[[User:The Dark Master|The Dark Master]] 04:33, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
...Which is why both ''are'' in the article as something similar to Keyblade Armor. There's no confirmation that they definitely are, since no one other than the BBS charaters with it has been seen wearing or operating confirmed KA. There's no indication that you can wear the armor if you don't have a Keyblade, and it's called '''Keyblade''' Armor. If anyone could wear it it would just be armor. But I digress, they are both already mentioned as being similar, and that's enough right now.{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}04:43, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
What makes the armor special is that it can protect the user from darkness and allows them to breathe in the space.If anyone can put it on that doesn't mean it is just regular aromr it still has the same properties as before.--[[User:The Dark Master|The Dark Master]] 04:47, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
:But you can't prove that the other armors have the same properties. You never see Xion in space, for example, so unless there's explicit confirmation, her armor is classified as ''similar'' to Keyblade Armor, but not necessarily '''as''' Keyblade Armor.  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 04:52, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
No non-Keyblade wielder has ever worn it. Xion, Terra, Ven, Aqua, Eraqus (Armor of the Master), No Heart, and Xemnas (Nomuras has commented he could probably use a Keyblade just chose not to; go figure) all wore Keyblade Armor-like devices. No one else. Granted, there's no indication that it is exclusive to Keyblade wielders entirely... except that it is called, and I repeat, '''''Keyblade''''' Armor.{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}04:54, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
True.However just look at the design for Xion and Xemnas armor one may consider it Keyblade Armor.--[[User:The Dark Master|The Dark Master]] 04:55, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
:So, what's the issue here? It's called Keyblade Armor, it's used by Keyblade users... Seems fine to me.  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 04:57, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
Xehanort has proven that the armor can be pyhsically removed or put on.Anyone could put on armor if they choose too.--[[User:The Dark Master|The Dark Master]] 04:57, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
How do you know that? The only ones who have worn what is explicitly known to be KA are Terra, Ven, Aqua, Armor of the Master, and No Heart. Xion and Xemnas wear Armor that is similar to KA. Every one of those characters can weild a Keyblade. What evidence do you have that a non Keyblade wielder can wear it?{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}05:00, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
:If we have not seen a non-Keyblade wielder wear armor, it stays Keyblade Armor. Xehanort was a Keyblade wielder, and therefore your point is moot. --{{User:DoorToNothing/Sig}} 05:02, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
I am merely using logic here.Though no none Keyblade Wielders have been shown wearing the armor Xehanort has proven that the armor can be physically removed or put on which most people can do.Is there any proof that a non-Keybalde wielder can't use? It is not like there is a fail safe that prevents those who cannot wield the Keyblade from using it.It's just armor.--[[User:The Dark Master|The Dark Master]] 05:04, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
...That's not very good logic. How exactly has he proven it? ''He'' is a Keyblade wielder, and of course the armor can be taken off. That has nothing to do with someone else putting it on. Where has there ever been a non-Keybade wielder that has worn this armor. I don't need to prove negatives like "you can't prove they ''don't'' wear it", my point is that the only characters we've ever seen wearing the armor are Keyblade users. The burden of proof is on you.{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}05:08, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
My point is that it is possible that the armor can be worn by other people.Let me repeat that there is not like there is a fail-safe that prevents non-Keyblade wielders can use it.--[[User:The Dark Master|The Dark Master]] 05:12, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
''How'' do you know that?{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}05:13, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
:EDIT CONFLICT: You don't know there isn't a "fail-safe". No one's tried to pick up discarded Keyblade Armor. For all you know, it disappears as soon as someone picks up the pieces, like a Keyblade.  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 05:15, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
Alright it is just armor it can be removed and worn.How did this dicussion even each this point.I orginally started this discussion to prove that the armor Xemnass and Xion wear is Keyblade armor.--[[User:The Dark Master|The Dark Master]] 05:16, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
Normally I'd try to avoid stuff like this, but this has been going for a quite a while. There is no proof of this, right? So far, I think this sounds like speculation.
And where exactly did it state that the armor that Xemnas and Xion wore is Keyblade armor?--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 05:18, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
:EDIT CONFLICT: Most likely, yes. It just hasn't been confirmed that Xion's armor is KA, so the article just states that it is similar.  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 05:20, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
Once again, ''how do you know that''?
And that was quickly disproved, since they aren't confirmed as being Keyblade armor. THey are noted as being ''similar'' to Keyblade Armor.{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}05:21, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
Once again based on the design and that it is used by fucking Keyblade wielders.Damn.--[[User:The Dark Master|The Dark Master]] 05:22, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
EDIT CONFLICT: So that's that, then. We're all agreed that Xemnas and Xion's armor are similar to the Keyblade armor. Can the discussion seize. It's not really getting anywhere. It's not confirmed, so it shouldn't be listed as Keyblade armor. I could be just plain old armor.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 05:23, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
Look I merely started thsi discussion becuase I was curious as to why people remve the images of I put of Xiona and Xemnass.I repeat WHY!--[[User:The Dark Master|The Dark Master]] 05:26, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
They weren't removed. Look at the article. They just changed locations.{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}05:28, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
Then where the hell is an image of Xemnas's armor?--The Dark Master
:It's in the gallery. Under "Master Xehanort's Armor".
:And even if there '''was''' no picture, there is still paragraphs on both, so who's saying they're not covered?  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 05:32, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
I would assume replaced with No Heart's armor, since they are virtually identical.{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}05:32, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
If you guys have eyes you can see there is a difference in design of No Heart and Xemnas's armor.--[[User:The Dark Master|The Dark Master]] 05:34, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
And what, praytell, is that? The only difference I see is that No Heart doesn't ahve those pulsating orange things, and those were part of the World of Nothingness. EDIT: Other than that they are identical, as explained [[Talk:No Heart#Xehanort's Keyblade Armor?|here]].{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}05:36, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
:O_O Oh no, there's no cape. What shall we do. </sarcasm>
:It's not enough for another picture, and like I said, THERE'S STILL COVERAGE UNDER THE KINGDOM HEARTS II SECTION. We don't ''need'' anything else.  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 05:38, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
I want you guys to look really closely at these two images.--[[User:The Dark Master|The Dark Master]] 05:40, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
[[File:Xemnas (Armored Controller) KHII.png|100px]]
[[File:No Heart KHBBSFM.png|100px]]
I don;t even think that's a cape. It looks more like part of those pulsating things attached to the armor.{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}05:43, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
:O_O Oh no, not only is he missing his cape/pulsing things, but HIS BELTS AREN'T CROSSED! </sarcasm>
:Still not enough of a difference for his own picture on the page.  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 05:45, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
Oh dear god.There is a difference in some color,parts of the armor design is different and size.--[[User:The Dark Master|The Dark Master]] 05:48, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
:And you're sure it's not just a terrible scan? [[:File:NoHeart001.png]]  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 05:51, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
[facepalm] The No Heart image came from a magazine scan. It's the image tha's darker, no the armor. And how do you know they're different sizes? When have you seen them next to each other? The differences you're talking about is the result of the images, not the actual armors.{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}05:52, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
Aw fuck they aren't that different.However the color is still slightly different.Xemnas's armor is more grey while No Heart seems more silver.--[[User:The Dark Master|The Dark Master]] 05:55, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
:That can be chalked up to graphics, though. Same with the amount of detail on the feathers.  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 05:57, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
Damn you guys make some good arguements.However we still should note that the armor Xemnas uses does have some minor differences from No Heart.--[[User:The Dark Master|The Dark Master]] 06:00, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
Well, 1) it really doesn't, and 2) not on this article we won't. The descriptions of the armors are contained on the respective characters' pages.{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}06:02, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
Ok lets get something straght.The image of No Heart is terrible so putting an image of Xemnas's armor can display a  better view of the No Heart.--[[User:The Dark Master|The Dark Master]] 06:04, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
Or we could just put up the image of No Heart Neumannz linked to.{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}06:06, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
Ok we can do that.Still how will be no that the No Heart and Xemnas's armor are the same but with minor differences if we don't put both images.I mean some people will be blind to it or just be to lazy to look up the differences.--[[User:The Dark Master|The Dark Master]] 06:10, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
There aren't any differences. We just went through this. Even if there were, they'd know upon lookthing at the pictures in the respective articles.{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}06:13, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
Screw it I don't care anymore do what you guys want.This discussion is now pointless.Good bye.Case Closed.Over and Done with.Outta here.--The Dark Master
:He actually does still have the robes, if you look at the screenshots from the No Heart battle. They just aren't in the official art.
:The article says "Keyblade Armor is armor that is worn by Keyblade wielders". Which it is. That statement is factually true even if it COULD be worn by others, because ''so far it has only been worn by Keyblade wielders''.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 06:26, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
== Pluralization ==
I can't find any sources on pluralization of "armor" beyond wiktionary, and nerds arguing on forums about what the pluralization should be (MW annoyingly lacks mentions of pluralization, as do the other online dictionaries I can access). As for "suits of Keyblade Armor", I believe this should be fine, as "suits of armor" is the way it's normally referred to in other texts, and a Keyblade Armor is very much a suit of armor.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 20:02, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
:Agreed. I am positive that "armor" is the plural of "armor" anyway. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 20:34, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
::Those armor?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 20:38, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
:::Eh? I believe that "armor" is a non-quantifiable noun, like water, which certainly makes it awkward with some pronouns or articles. Consider "those water" vs. "that water". It's the same situation. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 20:44, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
::"Waters" is definitely a word, for one, and wiktionary calls "armor" both countable and uncountable (it also explicitly says "armors" is a plural form of "armor", but oh well).{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 23:01, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
:::"Armors" is a word, apparently, just as "waters" is. But it just sounds plain awkward. Thus we say "suits of armor" because that is effectively what Keyblade Armor is. It's a generic term; "armors" is never used in-game. Even when addressing multiple characters, for example, Eraqus says "Your '''armor''' will protect you." - {{User:EternalNothingnessXIII/Sig}} 02:24, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
Exactly. You would use "armors" to talk about groupings of armor, like you would use "waters" for bodies of water. Like, "Soldiers in the Middle Ages employed different armors in battle, including padded, scale, and chain mail."  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 04:48, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
== Xion ==
Although Xion's forms resemble armor, its not to say that she is physically wearing armor. From what appears it shows that is her "true" form. Another problem is that Keyblade armor has a purpose and it is to protect the one wearing it from the darkness. Xion's armor-like appearance is not confirmed. Even in quotations, makes things more suggestive and subjective, rather than clear and objective.[[User:Lucia Black 0013|Lucia Black 0013]] ([[User talk:Lucia Black 0013|talk]]) 05:34, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
Not only that but the key fact that the armor is based on keyblades as well. There are several inaccuracies with it, suggesting the armor has more abilities.
:Your objection is not relevant to how the article actually presents the Xion situation. You might be looking at a prior revision of the page.
:Also, the idea that the armor is based on Keyblades is pure speculation. Nothing states that, and in fact, we see Xemnas in his Keyblade Armor without a Keyblade. All we know is that it is a suit of armor that ''Keyblade'' wielders wear, used to protect them from the darkness.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 15:45, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
== Union Armor ==
Should this be in other appearances?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 16:00, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
:If there's an in-universe way to mention members of the different unions obtaining individual sets of Keyblade Armor, then it should be mentioned in the Story section instead, no? {{User:Chitalian8/Sig}} 17:04, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
::I put them there for two reasons: 1. They are just costumes, no real Keyblade armors. 2. They aren't acknowledged by the game at all and besides the avatars no other NPC player wears them. Maybe they will become important in future cutscenes but for now they are just fluff like every other costume. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 20:48, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
==Canon name?==
I realize it may have been answered already but... Is "Keyblade Armor" a real canon name from the series? Because I absolutely do not recall where they use it in BBS so... If it is, can someone tell me where it is used please? [[User:Lady Junky|Lady Junky]] ([[User talk:Lady Junky|talk]]) 14:15, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
:Kryten moved the page in 2010 citing Maggosh as the source of information but I can't seem to find the discussion. I also can only find "armor", both in English and Japanese, as a term. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 18:19, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
::Exactly. I also found the name "Armor" on multiple occasions... but "Keyblade Armor"? Nah :/ [[User:Lady Junky|Lady Junky]] ([[User talk:Lady Junky|talk]]) 22:00, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
:::I know this is digging up an old can of worms, but if that's the case, should this be renamed back to "Armor"? When the article was created, there was a debate among the community back on the Keyhole about the article's name, and it kept switching back to "Armor" and "Keyblade Armor". I also haven't found anything in the BbS Ultimania that indicates that the official name is "Keyblade Armor", and it's simply referred to as "Armor". Kryten was the resident translator for the Japanese names, and was even the one we added the Japanese characters for the article. We could just in with him about the name, and see if he remembers where the name originated from.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 22:13, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
::::The BBS Bradygames guide calls it Keyblade Armor in the strategy section of the Terra-Xehanort fight. We're still looking for confirmation on the Japanese name. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 23:03, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
:::::Yeah, I just checked too. Page 75 of the guide: "In the final battle, Xehanort takes Terra's body, leaving you to fight from within your Keyblade Armor." Not sure if it is used somewhere else in the guide... But, in any case, it should be added as source on the page, cos the canonicity of this name is far from being easy to find... IF we consider it canon? Cos the name is not from the games, and the guide is not made by SE directly so...

::::::Agreed. Can anyone screenshot the image of that section. It'd be good to source the information with visible proof. If we don't agree that it is canon, then at the very least, it should be mentioned in the Trivia section.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 23:32, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
[https://imgur.com/a/IrH64 Here]. I made a screenshot of the whole page and a second one of the section where they use "Keyblade Armor" :) [[User:Lady Junky|Lady Junky]] ([[User talk:Lady Junky|talk]]) 23:40, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
::::::::I don't see any reason to not treat it as canon. We use the Bradygames guides to determine the English names of otherwise-unnamed topics everywhere else (attack names, enemy names, enemy stats, etc.). As far as I have found, the games use "armor" (not "Armor"), indicating that we don't currently have an in-game canon name. We have a long precedent of accepting the Bradygames name in that instance.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 17:58, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
:::::::::@Lady Junky: All right, thank you! :D I'll add the citation to the page, then.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 20:49, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
::::::::::Since we don't have a source for the Japanese name yet, I'm going to change it to just 鎧, as it is called in the Ultimania. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 18:21, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
== Sources ==
If we're accurately citing to a published work, we don't need the image. We're using proper citing already.
For the interviews, we need to cite to the ''interview'', not to khinsider. We can credit goldpanner or whoever for the translation, but khinsider is not the original source.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 18:35, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
:We may not ''need'' the image, but I think it's a good idea to keep it nevertheless. Providing physical evidence of the page from the guide book—an image directly showing where we got our source from—further validates that fact for readers who do not own the guide book and/or simply do not want it, and to readers who believe we're "making stuff up". It's not my style to sweat the small stuff, so if you guys really want to remove it, then that's fine. The link to the image adds more credibility since it allows readers to click on the link and see the evidence for their own eyes, but if you guys are oppose to having it, I'll concede to what the community wants. It's nothing to make a fuss over.
:As for the sources, I do try to cite the original interviews, though it's hard considering that I have don't which page or issue which interview is from. All I am doing is quoting from the translators and sourcing them at the end of the reference. By no means is the citation claiming that KHInsider is the original source since I literally put "Translation via Goldpanner/Lissar" at the very end (I was following the examples we already had on the KHWiki when I began doing this), because as per our policies and their policies, we have to credit them if we're using their translations as a source. KHInsider have their resident translations, though they sometimes don't credit who specifically done the translations in their published posts or in the forums.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 21:25, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
::Then the image can be put on the talk page. It sets a bad precedent to require scans when things are already accurately cited.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 16:51, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
:::I don't see how it's bad. I've always been taught the more valid sources you have, the better it is, because people will always have the "see it to believe it" mindset. I thought providing physical evidence of the actual scan of the page was a good thing, because it only ever works in one's favor. But if you're that against it, then you can remove it.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 22:03, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
::::I don't see why people would think we're making stuff up when we are directly quoting the book and even mention the exact page it can be found on. If people need to "see it to believe it", then they should get the book themselves. And like Kryten said, we can put the link on the talk page, so people can still see it. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 22:28, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
:::::Well, both the wikias and Wikipedia are always considered dubious sites to retrieve information from, and teachers often lecture students even "sources" can be ultimately false. It's something that's always been drilled into students, so I always like to have as many credible sources as possible. I still don't see the harm in keeping the link to the image, but very well. It's nothing to make a huge deal over.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 22:44, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
