Around the same time as [[Master Xehanort]]'s leave from the [[Land of Departure]], the existence of the Unversed is brought to the attention of [[Master Eraqus]] by the Keyblade master's old friend, [[Yen Sid|Master Yen Sid]]. Master Eraqus sends Terra and Aqua (two of his three apprentices) on a quest to find Master Xehanort and stop the Unversed threat. He did not plan on Ventus (the youngest apprentice) trailing after his two friends, and it is due to Ventus's quest and his final battle with Vanitas (his dark side) that the truth behind the Unversed is revealed.


Vanitas explains that the Unversed are his creation, and since he is a being created from the purest, most raw form of darkness, he can manipulate the negative thoughts and emotions of people. He spawned them as Unversed and spread them across the worlds, so that Terra, Ventus, and Aqua can fight them off and grow stronger in the process. The negativity of the defeated Unversed eventually return to Vanitas, and the race as a whole disappears upon Vanitas's destruction.

The Unversed Emblem
"It happened when you and I were split into two. The negativity took shape as these monsters. They are what I feel—a horde of fledgling emotions under my control."
—Vanitas, explaining the existence of the Unversed to Ventus

The Unversed (アンヴァース Anvāsu?),[1] meaning "those who were not well-versed in their own existences", are the main enemies of the game Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. They are considered "the opposite of human life" and grow from the negative emotions produced when Vanitas was created from Ventus. By all accounts, the Unversed are extensions of Vanitas himself, allowing him to control their actions.

Chronologically, the Unversed are either the first or second enemy referenced during Deep Dive, as they are the second race to manifest, but the first to attack the Realm of Light.

Story

Before Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

The Unversed first came into being soon after Vanitas was created by Xehanort from the extracted darkness in Ventus's heart. Out of mixed feelings of self-hatred that spawned the first of them, Vanitas attempted to destroy the creatures but re-absorbed them. This in turn. However, the negativity of the defeated Unversed worse Vanitas's mental state as more are created in a vicious cycle that lasted until his other self came in contact with Sora's heart. After being forced to part ways with Ventus, Vanitas is forced to fight the Unversed in another cycle of pain and suffering before finally breaking down from the strain and deciding to aid Xehanort to create χ-blade so his pain can ceased to be.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

Vanitas informs Ventus that his pain is the source of the Unversed's existence.

After the Mark of Mastery conducted by Eraqus, Vantias unleashes the Unversed on the worlds as part of Xehanort's plan to get both Terra and Ventus to leave the Land of Departure. Across the worlds, the Unversed appear before and aid those with negative thoughts and emotions. Ultimately, prior to fusing back into Ventus's body as he has some of his extensions hold him at bay, Vanitas reveals the Unversed's origins and that their primary purpose was to ensure that Ventus would grow stronger with every confrontation. With Vanitas back in Ventus's body, the Unversed ceased to be.

Appearance

The eyes of the Cursed Coach make it appear to by crying.

Several varieties of Unversed appear over the course of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Emotion was a key component in their conception and design. Thus they are seen with smiling, angry, and crying "faces", referring to the shape of their red eyes, which all Unversed share. The emblem most Unversed are christened with is also meant to represent a heart that expresses emotion.[2]

Unlike Heartless bosses and Nobody bosses (whom are enveloped in light when defeated), the Unversed bosses are consumed in a dark flame when vanquished.

Notes and references

  1. ^ At one point, the Unversed were known as "Unbirths" due to a fan mistranslation.
  2. ^ Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania Nomura Interview Their design concept became the theme of ‘emotion’, and we went with various motifs, such as a laughing face, angry face and crying face. The Unversed mark was also modeled on the heart from emotions.
