| This article is about the young incarnation of Master Xehanort. You may be looking for Master Xehanort himself. |
- "Hypocrite. You are the one who has made your heart a prison...even if you are not the prisoner."
- —Young Xehanort to Sora
Young Xehanort is the main antagonist of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. As his name implies, he is a younger alternate-timeline incarnation of Master Xehanort that acquires the ability to travel through time.
Story
Early Life
Just like his main timeline counterpart, Xehanort lives his early years on the Destiny Islands, desiring to travel to other worlds. However, Xehanort is paid a visit by "Ansem" which grants him the power to traverse time and tasks him with gathering twelve other incarnations of himself from across time.
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
After defeating the Vanitas Remnant, Terra, Ventus, and Aqua separately return to the now-ruined Land of Departure, where they encounter the time-displaced Xehanort, his face hidden by his hood. Xehanort draws his weapons and attacks, but after an intense battle, he walks away and disappears.
Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
Twelve years after Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Xehanort's time-displaced counterpart comes into conflict with Sora and Riku in the Dreaming Realm during their Mark of Mastery exam, encountering them across several sleeping worlds, often accompanied by "Ansem", Xemnas and Vanitas. He taunts Sora and Riku, telling Sora his heart is nothing but a trap for another, and taunting Riku about his affinity to darkness, although he finds that Riku has built up a resistance to it. Eventually, Xehanort confronts Sora again in the World That Never Was, where he traps Sora in an illusion of his first meeting with Ansem, revealing his true identity to Sora at last, as well as his goal. After Sora's heart is damaged following a fight with Xemnas, Xehanort takes Sora's comatose body to the Castle That Never Was to become the thirteenth vessel of Master Xehanort's Organization XIII.
Riku later comes looking for Sora and finds him, but Xehanort stands in his way. King Mickey intervenes and uses a Stopgun spell which freezes Xehanort, but the materialising Master Xehanort passes his consciousness into Young Xehanort's body and breaks him free of the spell. Under Master Xehanort's control, Xehanort brandishes a variation of Master Xehanort's Keyblade and fights Riku. Though he is defeated, Xehanort merely takes his place on one of the thrones of the Organization in Where Nothing Gathers when Master Xehanort is finally revived. He flees the scene with Master Xehanort and the others when reinforcements arrive to save Sora from his fate.
Appearance
Young Xehanort has mildly tanned skin, golden eyes, and silver hair which both slightly spikes and falls past his shoulders in the back; it is styled in a similar fashion to Terra-Xehanort's, albeit with four bangs framing his face, the back two thicker than the front two, and the two backwards spikes on the sides are absent, the topmost one slicked back. Save for a flashback scene, in which he sports the same clothes as his alternate incarnation, Xehanort is clad in the Black Coat commonly associated with Organization XIII, and when he first appears in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, he wears the hood up.
Interestingly in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Xehanort's body model is a copy of Saïx's, though it is likely that this was a mere coincidence, since Xehanort and Saïx appear on screen together in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance.
Abilities
Young Xehanort wields two weapons that bear a striking resemblance to Xemnas's Ethereal Blades. Unlike many of Xemnas's weapons, however, Xehanort's appear to have hilts. The blades are made of light blue energy, and the black handles are somewhat reminiscent of the Terminus and Ruination Ethereal Blades. The blades can be combined into a dual-blade, and they can extend to be lashed out like a whip. Xehanort wields these weapons with a reverse grip, similar to the unorthodox way Ven wields his Keyblade.
In Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Xehanort retains his ability to control time, demonstrated by several strikes which temporarily slow his opponent down, as well as the fact that he fights in an arena which gives him control over basic elements, such as Fire and Blizzard. He is able to teleport himself around the battlefield like Master Xehanort, and he delivers swift, powerful strikes similar to Terra-Xehanort. He is also able to fire magical shots similar to those fired by Sora in Wisdom Form.
In Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Xehanort wields a Keyblade that incorporates elements of the No Name and Master Xehanort's Keyblade. However, this is not Xehanort's own ability, but rather the result of Master Xehanort transferring his consciousness into Young Xehanort's body in order to battle Riku, and the Keyblade itself is a variation of Master Xehanort's Keyblade.
Xehanort's greatest power is the ability to reverse time after suffering a defeat, a process which returns him to his condition before the battle in which he fell started.
