Symbols in the Kingdom Hearts series: Difference between revisions
changed info about Xemnas making the Nobody emblem based on Terra's Mark thanks to it appearing on Xehanort's keyblade armor in Dark Road. hopefully it's a basic retcon like Nobodies aging and we don't get an explanation like "Xemnas DID invent it based on Terra's Mark but baby Xehanort saw it in his empathy dreams when Player used a medal that featured one of the Nobodies so he decided to incorporate it in his armor". I think for now though game canon should take precedent over word of god

The Heartless emblem is comprised of a heart with a ''fleur-de-lis'' at its base. It is typically black with a red outline and barbed "X" crossing through the heart in the symbol, which symbolizes the fact that Heartless act without emotions, hence their name. A common variation of the Heartless emblem is a completely black silhouette, lacking the cross over the heart. A third variation is simply a heart featuring the color scheme of the standard Heartless symbol, a black body and red outline, but also lacks the cross. | The Heartless emblem is comprised of a heart with a ''fleur-de-lis'' at its base.

The {{nihongo|[[Nobody]] symbol|ノーバディのマーク}} is primarily associated with [[Organization XIII]] and the Nobodies it commands, and many of the members' weapons incorporate the symbol into their design. Every single lesser Nobody is emblazoned with the Nobody symbol, and a few are even shaped like it. The [[Proof of Nonexistence]], [[Challenge Sigil]], [[Unity Badge]], and [[Ordeal Badge]] all feature the symbol. Certain accessories with connections to Organization XIII, such as the [[Full Bloom]] and [[Shadow Archive]], also use the symbol. The symbol is featured countless times in the architecture and decorations of the [[Castle That Never Was]] and other areas related to the Organization. [[Two Become One]] is the only Keyblade to sport the full Nobody emblem in its design. A variant of the Nobody emblem based on the original's top half appears on several [[Nobody#Gummi Nobodies|Gummi Nobodies]]. | The {{nihongo|[[Nobody]] symbol|ノーバディのマーク}} is primarily associated with [[Organization XIII]] and the Nobodies it commands, and many of the members' weapons incorporate the symbol into their design.

The Nobody emblem resembles an upside-down Heartless emblem in shape, but with several circular notches taken out of its edges. The symbol's base is shaped like an upside-down heart, while its top is a thin, spiked cross. Spikes and sharp edges often evoke the Nobody emblem without the full symbol being displayed. The symbol is usually depicted as white or silver, like most Nobodies.

Then the Nobody Xemnas was born, and the Organization which he creates take a lot of things from his memories, as a human. But as Xemnas had two people who he was, Terra and Master Xehanort, he takes from both of their memories. [...] The Nobody mark used by the Organization is a similar shape to the mark Terra used."

There is a simplified version of the Nobody symbol that only features the upper spiked cross section. This varation is primarily associated with Roxas: his Twilight Town outfit uses this symbol as a zipper pull, and it is found on the Keychain token of the [[Two Become One]] Keyblade. Roxas's Alba & Ater game piece also features this symbol on the top. Similar symbols are often used to evoke the Nobody sigil, such as in [[Saïx]]'s [[Lunatic]] Claymore and [[Larxene]]'s [[Foudre]] Knives. | There is a simplified version of the Nobody symbol that only features the upper spiked cross section.

The {{nihongo|'''Gazing Eye'''|見つめる目|Mitsumeru Me}} is a blue eye with a {{w|cymophane|cat's eye}} iris which belongs to the [[Master of Masters]]. He placed it within the [[No Name]] Keyblade, then asked [[Luxu]] to pass it down from apprentice to apprentice, eventually reaching [[Xehanort]] in order to have it observe its surroundings throughout the eons and pass those back to the Master in his own era. Aside from the No Name, the Gazing Eye is also visible in its alternate form as [[Young Xehanort's Keyblade]], as well as his Clock, while the symbol appears on the Keyblades or Keychain tokens of his other apprentices, the [[Foreteller]]s, as well as those of [[Xehanort]]: Vanitas's [[Void Gear]], Terra's [[Chaos Ripper]] and [[Darkgnaw]], Riku's [[Soul Eater]] and [[Way to the Dawn]], Riku and Sora's [[End of Pain]], and [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]]'s dual Soul Eater polearm.
