| So for young Xehanort and Master Xehanort, their true eye color is silver/grayish. Their golden eyes were from the power of darkness? and from KH3 DLC ReMind trailer, Young Xehanort is seen with silver gray eyes. so what to do with the design appearance? what do you guys think?

| Providing draft here for review -- some citations need to be added, but main points are:
| |
|
| |
| #Nomura explicitly states that KH3D Xehanort does not have the power to wield a Keyblade (see YX Keyblade talk page for quote), and YX himself indicates that the meeting where he's sent off is the first one with Ansem. Unless Nomura has explicitly retconned that somewhere, the time travel adventure HAS to happen before he goes to Scala. It makes the most sense that the corridor to Scala was after YX returns to the "past", as the end of that conversation.
| |
| #The 4 years later visit with the Queen is clearly part of the pilgrimage mentioned in the BbS reports and depicted in the ReMind scene.

| ===Before ''Kingdom Hearts Dark Road''===
| |
| Xehanort's existence was foreseen by [[Luxu]], who anticipated the existence of a future wielder of the [[No Name]] Keyblade who would reenact the Keyblade War.
| |
|
| |
| Xehanort himself was reincarnated in the world [[Scala ad Caelum]] from the heart of the {{c|Player|khx}}, a survivor of the previous war who had refused to slumber in the [[Sleeping Worlds]]. As a baby, he was given away to be raised on Destiny Islands.{{?}}

| |
| {{Q|At the time, I did not yet know I was talking to myself. He cast his body aside to set me on the path. That is Xehanort reduced to just a heart; the being you and your friends called Ansem|Young Xehanort}}
| |
| However, Xehanort eventually sought to leave the peaceful islands in order to see the greater world beyond, largely due to recurring dreams of strange worlds and people.

| |
| One day, as a young teenager, Xehanort was paid a visit by his future self's Heartless, Ansem. Ansem granted Xehanort the power to traverse time and tasked him with gathering twelve of his other incarnations to form the [[Real Organization XIII]] and obtain Kingdom Hearts. After carrying out his duties in the future as "[[Young Xehanort]]," the youth returns to his proper place in time and his now-forgotten experiences are subconsciously engraved in his heart.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', Young Xehanort:''' "I will return to my own time, and grow into the man who becomes all these others. While I know this future now that I have lived it, returning to my own time will erase the memories and experiences I have gained here. Still, my appointed path is now etched in my heart, which will first lead me to seek the outside world."</ref> Ansem then offered Xehanort a dark corridor out of Destiny Islands to seek his answers. Though his name was forgotten over time, Xehanort's departure would be remembered for years.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''''', '''Riku''': "I heard once there was a kid who left for good. So how did you get here, anyway?" / '''Terra''': "Is there some reason you're interested in the outside world?" / '''Riku''': "Yeah. I wanna be strong one day. Like that kid who left. He went to the outside world—I bet he's really strong now. I know it's out there somewhere—the strength that I need."</ref>

| While traveling through the dark corridor, Xehanort experienced his first encounter with darkness. Despite the horrifying nature of the darkness, Xehanort was fascinated by it and took some level of comfort in his heart's capacity to continue to feel emotion. As recounted in his reports years later, Xehanort believed even at this point that darkness could be channeled and even controlled by a strong enough heart.{{?}} The dark corridor eventually deposited Xehanort at [[Scala ad Caelum]], where he was taken in by Keyblade Master [[Odin]] as his seventh apprentice. During the course of his training, Xehanort eventually formed a brotherly bond with his fellow pupil [[Eraqus]], who he enjoyed playing chess with. Master Odin taught Xehanort and his fellow classmates the ways of the Keyblade and their role to protect the worlds of [[light]] from [[darkness]], but the unsatisfied Xehanort often snuck out to explore other worlds and find his own answer. At this point, Xehanort still wore his [[Keyblade Armor]] while traversing the Lanes Between to protect himself from the darkness between worlds.{{?}}
| |
|
| |
| One day Master Odin informs Xehanort's class that the senior class had gone missing, and tasks them with exploring the worlds in two groups. Xehanort travels with Eraqus and another apprentice, to [[Agrabah]], where he realizes that the world was empty of life and still in the process of rebirth. They continue the search in [[Wonderland]], where they avoid the insanity of the [[Queen of Hearts]], but leave Xehanort pondering whether the patsies of darkness must be slain to protect the world.
| |
|
| |
| Four years later, Xehanort visits the graves of his four fallen comrades. Eraqus urges him against feeling responsible for their demise, while Xehanort informs him of his upcoming world tour in preparation for their Mastery exam.{{?}} Internally, Xehanort had begun to believe it necessary to master darkness in order to keep up with the pedigreed Eraqus. Through his travels, which included a visit to Wonderland and its enthralled Queen,{{?}} Xehanort's engraved memories led him to doubt the efficacy of the light ands its superficial dominance over the dark, and resolve to change this state of affairs.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind}}

| ===Between ''Kingdom Hearts Dark Road'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
| |
| In the course of this pilgrimage, Xehanort met [[The Master of Masters]], who gifted him a [[black coat]] to replace his armor while also urging him to discard both armor and coat in order to experience the true force of the darkness in the lanes, which he claimed would pose no threat to a heart of "true strength". Doing this, Xehanort touched the darkness and gained great power through his lack of fear.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind}}
| |
|
| |
| Eventually, both Eraqus and Xehanort became [[Keyblade Master]]s, and Eraqus was chosen as the Master's successor while Xehanort was chosen to inherit the [[No Name]] Keyblade. The newly titled Master Xehanort was free to take on apprentices of his own to train, and traveled the worlds freely.

| |
| As he journeyed, Xehanort obtained vast knowledge concerning Keyblade lore, the Heartless, and the mysteries of the [[Keyblade War]] and Kingdom Hearts. Over the years, Xehanort's beliefs that darkness and light were meant to be in balance were further reinforced, and that the balance was currently tilted dangerously toward light. He resolved to rebalance the world by beginning a new Keyblade War to recreate the [[χ-blade]] and thus obtain the power of Kingdom Hearts.{{?}}<!--wasn't it about creating a NEW, blank world?--> However, due to his advanced age, he devised a plan to extract his own heart and transfer it to a younger body to prolong his life until his ambitions were fulfilled.
| |
|
| |
| At one point, Xehanort discussed his ideas with Eraqus, who attempted to dissuade him from risking a new apocalypse for the sake of gaining knowledge. When Eraqus tried to stop him by force, Xehanort used his power to easily fend him off, scarring Eraqus.

| |
| Eventually, Xehanort encountered [[Ventus]], who he took on as a pupil. With Ventus unsuitable as a vessel, he decided to instead use him for the χ-blade. After failing to stimulate Ven's darkness during a training exercise in [[the Badlands]], Xehanort forcibly extracted the darkness from his heart, creating [[Vanitas]] but badly damaging Ven. Xehanort brought his ward to the Destiny Islands to die in peace, but Ven showed signs of recovery after his heart connected with that of the newborn [[Sora]]. In order to strengthen Ven's light and keep him separated from Vanitas, Xehanort brought him to Eraqus at the [[Land of Departure]] and requested that he take care of Ventus and train him as a Keyblade wielder, counting on Eraqus's dedication to the light to make him an equal mirror to Vanitas. Despite their hostile parting, Eraqus readily accepted Xehanort's request, taking Ventus as an apprentice to be trained alongside Terra and Aqua. While there, Xehanort noticed Terra's desire for power, and chose the boy as his vessel.
