I really don't think that his spirit went on to Terra and then Terra then lost his memory and ended up in Radiant Garden, where all he could remember was his possessor's name. It makes no sense that he has a Nobody and a Heartless yet he still appears in Kh2 final mix, i would belive that his apprentice would most likely be him [[User:Saxor|Saxor]] 06:35, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

I will admit it does sound like Benjamin Diskin, however David Gallagher's facebook and twitter says he is voiceing YX in KHDDD. David Gallagher is just shifting his voice just like Haily Joel Osment did when he voiced Vanitas. Also it makes no sense for YX NOT to be voiced by David Gallager because it was confirmed that he voiced him in BBS, David Gallagher already works for Square Enix as a voice actor. why would he deny the role?

:::::Young Xehanort and Master Xehanort are the ''same person''. If you're confused about the time travel, or who Xehanort is, talk to Nomura about that.

::::::There are going to be a total of thirteen different Xehanorts from various points in his timeline in the [[True Organization XIII]], and the six we've been introduced to thus far are very different. We have separate articles for all of them but these two, even though Young Xehanort has been treated as a separate entity from Master Xehanort both in scenes and in the KH3D Reports profiles. In his report profile, instead of being an alternate character model for Master Xehanort like Young Sora is for Sora, Young Xehanort gets his very own profile, as do the other four True Organization XIII members, despite the fact that they're all essentially the same guy. As we get more and more Xehanorts, this article is bound to get extremely convoluted, especially if we keep in the perspective of Sora's chronology. I propose we make "Xehanort" the article that tells the story of each iteration of Xehanort in one timeline based on Xehanort's chronology, not Sora's or the player's, categorized by each of his thirteen forms. But also give each of the thirteen members their own article with information on what that particular version of Xehanort does, how that particular version of Xehanort behaves, who that particular version of Xehanort meets, etc. "Young Xehanort" is extremely different from "Master Xehanort," because YX is destined to be all of the other Xehanorts before he is MX.
::::::It's like the various incarnations of the Doctor in Doctor Who, if you're at all familiar with that series. They're all the same person, but they all have different quirks, mannerisms, and personalities. If you say "the Doctor," a fan will assume you're talking about his current iteration. You have to specify which Doctor you're talking about. The First Doctor and the Eleventh Doctor are very different men, and yet both are the same man. Same goes for Young Xehanort and Master Xehanort. [[User:Fabala011|Fabala011]] ([[User talk:Fabala011|talk]]) 23:21, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

To quote an immortal, gumball-loving time traveler who was formerly insane "Time Travel makes pronouns so confusing." Translation, we don't know how Time Travel works in the series, and no one say "Nomura is contradicting his own logic"(I've had enough of hearing that). Look, until the whole thing is explained a little better(like using smaller words), we should avoid saying things like "alternate timeline" even if it does turn out to be true. Just my opinion, cause I'm confused enough as it is. [[Special:Contributions/97.81.35.41|97.81.35.41]] 14:33, 7 May 2013 (UTC) Rex Ronald Rilander

:*sighs* I mean that the Young Xehanort and the Master Xehanort should be considered two different people for the time being, even if they're the same person. One is the current version and one is from the past(who also barely refers to himself as Xehanort(he only does it, like, once)).

The Hero has a point. But we saw Riku grow into his KHII self, from CoM to Days to II, but YX is from a large gap in time which we have not witnessed. We haven't seen YX gradually grow into MX, but we saw KH Riku gradually grow into KHII Riku. Anyways, I'm done here, I still think it would be better to split the pages.

:kh1 riku does, in fact, show up in khii, just not in person. We also have that instance in kh3d. Nevertheless, its still a silly suggestion: its literally the same exact person at different ages. As much "growth" as even needed to be depicted ''was''...xehanort didn't change his personality much, if at all. Ansem the king, for example, changes more over the course of khii than xehanort ever did.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 16:53, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

== Separate Xehanorts on Pages ==
{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=16:44, 31 March 2014 (UTC)|text=So, I know this links back to previous arguments about unmerging Xehanort and whatnot, but here goes. My question is about the other articles. This article treats Master Xehanort and Young Xehanort as the same person. Shouldn't the other articles do this? For example, the article for [[The World That Never Was]] lists the two separate Xehanorts. If we're going to treat them as one and the same being, should we not remove the separate links on the other pages and simply link once to this page with the name "Xehanort" rather than twice with the names "Master Xehanort" and "Young Xehanort"? }}
Well, the game refers to them as such, and they are legitimately different beings in the game itself. However, wiki-wise, and in reality, they are the same person, just different forms. So, to stay in the same frame as the game, it's better to refer to each as one separate being, than one person. It would not flow well, if let's say, we said "Xehanort fought Riku by possessing Xehanort" for example. However, if we're talking about the list of characters/bosses, it's a similar situation to Flora, Fauna and Merryweather. All 3 links link to the same page, but they're different beings. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 22:25, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
== Xemnas ==
It says on the page that Xemnas is Xehanort's nobody. That's not strictly true, he's Terra's nobody influenced by Xehanort. {{User:LightningPrincess12}} 13:57, September 22 2014
You're misinterpreting. It's not talking about Master Xehanort, it's talking about Terra-Xehanort. Allow me to show you: "Through his(Master Xehanort) many different incarnations, including Terra-Xehanort, his(Terra-Xehanort) Heartless, Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, and his(Terra-Xehanort) Nobody, Xemnas,". Like that. [[Special:Contributions/97.81.38.40|97.81.38.40]] 14:07, 22 September 2014 (UTC) Rex Ronald Rilander
:Don't forget, in "[[Signs of What's Next]]", Master Yen Sid implies that Xemnas and Ansem are Master Xehanort's Nobody and Heartless, respectively. "Xehanort's heart, once seized by his Heartless half, is now free, and his body, which had become his Nobody, has been vanquished. Both halves will now be returned to the whole. In short, this means Master Xehanort will return." If Xemnas wasn't Xehanort's Nobody, and Ansem, Xehanort's Heartless, then they would return to become Terra-Xehanort, not Master Xehanort. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 14:46, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
:Yeah but, then what happens to Terra? But since Ansem, Seeker of Darkness and Xemnas use Time Travel to join Master Xehanort in 3D, maybe it causes some type of backlash that prevents Terra from returning? Ugh, this version of Time Travel is so confusing to my brain, I hope someone can explain it better, whether in KHIII or on the wiki.

:Terra is still Terra-Xehanort, as we've come to call him, and he's a part of the Organization. Xehanort implies this in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', when he says that "Sora and another on your list belong to me." Terra is within the ranks of the new Organization, most likely as a time-displaced Terra-Xehanort. As I understand it, everyone in the Organization is now time-displaced, with the exception of Master Xehanort, who's returned to the present time. I'm not sure of Saïx, because Lea calls him "Isa", but Xigbar isn't his original self, so...that I don't know about. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 15:08, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Since we don't get exact numbers on Xehanort, I'm thinking there should be different names for him in different times to differentiate between the forms and for image naming purposes.
*Terra-Xehanort - Apprentice of Ansem - Nobody/Heartless Split.
*Master Xehanort - During Events of BBS/Old Goat in KH3D
*Young Xehanort - Time Travelling jerk in KH3D/BBS
*Child Xehanort - Playing Chess with CE in E3 2015 trailer. (He seems significantly younger from his time-travelling age)

Don't you have to leave your body behind and just become a heart? --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 05:38, 26 January 2016 (UTC) <br/>
EDIT: I know that Ansem, Seeker of Darkness gave Young Xehanort the ability to do this, but how did he give him this ability exactly? How do you just give someone the power to time travel? <br/>
Also, How did Ansem, Seeker of Darkness separate himself from his body and become just a heart so he can time travel without a Keyblade? Don't you need a Keyblade to separate your heart from your body? <br/>
--[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 07:28, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
:I believe that's simply how to unlock the ability for yourself, which Xehanort did eventually when he became Ansem, and as they(Ansem and YX) were versions of each other, Ansem was able to give YX the ability to Time Travel. How he did it ''exactly'', is not currently known in detail. Ansem didn't have a body, period. Mickey explicitly states this "Xehanort did give up his body.

== Future split? ==
With 2.8 releasing next month and KH3 coming out within the next few years, is it possible we will see a "Master Xehanort" and Young Xehanort" split. Will they ever have their own separate articles? I know they are the same person, but they both play different roles (sorta) and will likely have very different roles come KH3, considering Young Xehanort is one of the thirteen seekers of darkness. Also it would appear much more user friendly to split the articles. It's just an idea, though. I haven't been here long enough to see if there was a specific reasoning for this. [[User:Hallowseve97|Hallowseve97]] ([[User talk:Hallowseve97|talk]]) 23:37, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
:They actually ''were'' seperate at one point, back when Young Xehanort was first identified. However, though I didn't agree with the choice at the time, they were merged because they are in fact the same person. It's not like with Trunks and Future Trunks from ''Dragon Ball Z'' who lived completely different lives. Young and Master Xehanort have and will live the same life, in time. And as such should stay one article. [[User:Rex Ronald Rilander|Rex Ronald Rilander]] ([[User talk:Rex Ronald Rilander|talk]]) 04:12, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
::That's the main issue with it, yeah. If we split it, you'd have a Young Xehanort article, and then a comprehensive Master Xehanort article would still contain all the events covered in the Young Xehanort article, because that's his past. I suppose, depending on the physics of time travel, that we could argue the ''time-traveling'' Young Xehanort as a "different kind of being", but YX and MX definitely have the least amount of separation of any of the new Org -- where Ansem and Xemnas and the others clearly identify other members as distinct, YX and MX always talk about the other being "myself".{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 13:59, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
:::What will we do, though, if the Young Xehanort betrays the Master? It has been hinted that YX is not evil, and is only going along with MX's plan because he believes it's his fate and there's nothing he can do about it. There are theories going around that YX will eventually betray MX, and since KHIII is basically about giving happy endings to all main chracters, and YX may end up being good, I believe in the end the Key to Return Hearts or whatever McGuffin will be used so that a piece of YX's heart can be transferred to a newly created body, allowing him to return to the past so there's no paradox AND simultaneously having a chance to live a life without becoming MX.
:::I mean, if YX turns out to be good, it would be too much of a sad ending to have a good character be forced to eventually become evil and having nothing they can do about it, and Nomura already promised a happy ending. So, if that happens, we'll probably have to split, right? {{User:G-SANtos/Sig}} 22:29, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

:::::No, I'm not talking about splitting it now.

::::::Let's just wait until the game comes out before we start discussing the possibility of a split. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 18:46, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::::Wiki policy is that a character's full history is covered on its page, and is only split if that person becomes a different entity, like how Terra-Xehanort became Ansem and Xemnas (similar to digivolving). Only way I can see Young being split from Master, ''per our current policy'', is if something like a split timeline version of a character happens (a la Andromeda or Red Dwarf). Even then, the current coverage (which is that Master Xehanort's history includes that of the current appearances of Young Xehanort) would still be valid, unless Nomura retcons that, somehow, Master Xehanort's "true" past was not what we were shown -- which would somewhat invalidate the entire plot of KH3D, but who even knows with him anymore.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 19:10, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
== Uggghhhh...split? ==
So, given the reveal in KH3 that Young Xehanort is Xehanort's heart within a Replica body, would that satisfy our criteria for being fundamentally different beings and require a split?<!--I hate Xehanort's plot, and all the mess it makes for an encyclopedia-->{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 13:45, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
:There would definitely be benefits to splitting them just from an article perspective. Given that right now we have Young and Master Xehanort existing at the same time, following the timeline of the character is tough. If we were truly to cover the chronology as the character experiences it, we would have to cover Young Xehanort on Destiny Islands → Meeting the Robed Figure → Secret boss fight → Gathering versions of himself → YX scenes in DDD → YX scenes in KH3 → Chess scenes (assuming they are even literal and not metaphorical) → all of old Xehanort's life.
:The game almost treats them as different entities. At the same time, they are the same person. It is a mess. I guess I vote to split it for clarity's sake, even though they are the same person; the game hasn't really shown that what YX experiences in the present has any effect on MX, anyway. {{User:LightRoxas/Sig}} 14:41, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
::While I was always for splitting the page, if we split based on the fact that YX is a heart in a replica body, that only counts for when he travels through time. So the scenes on DI, when he meets the Robed Figure, and the chess scenes are not from when he was a replica, so then that should be covered on the MX page, which would be confusing. A better way would be to split young and old, but since they're the same person (excluding time travel stuff), that would be against policy. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 14:54, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
:::See, the thing is that Master Xehanort's plot ''does'' reference stuff from his youth -- just not from his time travelling days. So I think we could write coherent articles that diverge at the moment Young Xenny traveled to the future.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 15:57, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

:::::I'm all for splitting the pages, too, but isn't the Young Xehanort in ''KH3D'' the one from Destiny Islands? My understanding was the actual Xehanort incarnations were summoned in ''3D'', but they were returned to their own time (including YX), unable to return to the resurrected Master Xehanort's present. Then Master Xehanort recruited Even, who gave him replicas that could host the hearts of the other Norts from across time. Those hearts then merged with the improved replicas, becoming new people. The heart inside gave the replica its appearance, which is why Dark Riku turned blank after Repliku extracted his heart. TLDR; ''KH3D'' Norts are the bodies and hearts of the actual people, while ''KHIII'' Norts are hearts in replica bodies. How we handle a split depends on when the games say Vexen joined Master Xehanort to give him replicas. Reasoning: Even is clearly human (albeit unconscious) throughout ''KH3D''. - {{User:EternalNothingnessXIII/Sig}} 16:45, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
:::::::My understanding was that Vexen joined to give ''better'' replicas, but that they still had his original stock for use.

("Unlike a certain wizard you know, I had to play by the rules to travel through time. Which meant leaving my body behind.")

I'm a bit confused on Xehanort early timeline as the article says that Young Xehanort from BBS was before he ever left his home but Young Xehanort from Scala ad Caelum looks a lot younger. Also Young Xehanort's Keyblade article seams to say that (Time Travel) Young Xehanort could not use the Keyblade normally which I think helps support that Young Xehanort from BBS was before Young Xehanort From SaC even though he looks a lot younger in SaC
text I am referring to:
'''Xehanort grew up on the Destiny Islands'''. As a young man, he was paid a visit by his future self's Heartless, Ansem, who granted him the power to traverse time and tasked him with gathering twelve other incarnations of himself from across time. After carrying out his duties in the future, Xehanort returned to his proper place in time at the Destiny Islands. While the rules of time travel prevented him from keeping his memories of his travels, '''they engraved themselves on his heart so that he retained a desire to eventually leave the islands.'''
'''Xehanort eventually found a way to depart his home world and arrived at Scala ad Caelum, where he encountered a Keyblade Master. Under this master, he began training as a Keyblade wielder, along with his fellow pupil Eraqus'''
After Mickey Mouse casts a Stopza spell to aid Riku in rescuing Sora from Xehanort's Organization XIII, '''Master Xehanort's consciousness overrides the spell by possessing and temporarily granting Young Xehanort the ability to wield his Keyblade''', though he does so with this specific Keychain. Riku, however, defeats him and sends him retreating.

== Pre-BbS replacement synopsis ==
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.{{?}}
===''Kingdom Hearts Dark Road''===
{{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.
[[File:Where It Started 01 KH3D.png|thumb|left|Xehanort meets Ansem, his Heartless from the future.]]
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.
