Talk:Ansem the Wise

Who thinks it's better to put:

xehenort-gardian?

I know the title seems stupid but bare withme I need help,were did the get the infomation on this line

"The sage was also the one who found the young Xehanort, on the brink of death, in the aftermath of a great battle by those who used Keyblades to fight"

that is amazing,everyone who reads this is instatly going to jump to the conclution that the "gardian" from the kh2 secret ending is xhenort. This is to awsome.

sincerly luis

A Grave Mistake

and to state which game(s) the character is in. but lets say the character is in one game only than the second variation is better but not with multiple games. Does anyone understand? Anyone, anyone? -Azul 22:41, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

You could just make KHII a level 2 headline and make the rest level 3 headlines. --Hecko X 04:44, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Only one to die on screen

One part in Trivia says Ansem the Wise is the only friendly character in the series to die on screen. But Axel turns remotley friendly in Betwixt and Between, and he died on screen?

Kairi's grandfather

On the slight possibility that she is a blood relative of Kairi, why does this article mention she might be Kairi's grandpa? wouldn't biological father be just as likey?

R~R - --Lord of all things Death Note and Kingdom Hearts 02:55, 9 February 2009 (UTC) TALK - What is up? Hello

He's would have to be her father. He would look old, like Kairi's Grandmother if he was her grandfather.--PrincessAndie8thprincessofheart 15:58, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Kairi would've easily gone past Riku's restraint when Ansem was about to die, if there were any biological relations. Think about it. There are some things even the stars cannot tell me. • TroisNyxÉtienne

she might not remember.

Come on, just because someone doesn't remember doesn't mean that he/she can't be moved with pity to that of a parent-child relationship ! Technically, if you look at it, a parent-child relationship is by instinct, that is to say, there will be some special bond between the two, even if they don't even know it. If there had actually been such a bond even if Kairi wasn't "fathered" by Ansem the Wise, she'd have gone past Riku's restraint. Xehanort also said that "he took a girl from Radiant Garden" - by saying "a girl" he did not necessarily mean "a princess". And you don't have to be a Princess to be a Princess of Heart. Take a look at Alice, for instance. There are some things even the stars cannot tell me. • TroisNyxÉtienne

NinjaSheik - All of this might have started with a lie...But I'm really am glad that I could meet you... TALK - One day, the light-it will be ours, and it will bring us together. Til then, I'll be in your heart... She's right, you know. Just because you're a Princess of Heart, doesn't really mean you need to be a princess for real. Alice was picked because of her pure heart and Kairi, too. And by the Ansem's report, it says he took a girl from Radiant Garden! Took! He didn't actually said his granddaughter, did he?

that was Xehanort's Heartless (who for Kingdom hearts and Com was known as "Ansem") and familial bonds aren't automatic.If I never knew who my father was (or anything from before I was 5) than I wouldn't bond over the course of a minute.It would take months,years of getting to know each other.

Getting to know each other is greater than just a humane act of saving the other's life. Also, you have the Princess of Heart fact to deal with, if you wanna argue about Kairi's "royal" bloodline. There are some things even the stars cannot tell me. • TroisNyxÉtienne

Humane act is one thing,But king mickey and Riku would have certainly known more about him and didn't do Squat

Think carefully : Mickey and Riku would've known more about him, yes, and so would Squall. But if that were really the case, wouldn't Squall have revealed more about Kairi to Sora when they were together in the Small House ? Ansem wouldn't have disclosed this information if there were no links in the first place. Also, in his Secret Reports, he refers to Kairi like he would Riku and Sora. There was absolutely no difference between them. Surely a father would've had a greater degree of affection ! Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne

Most father haven't been betrayed by their disciples,Been impersonated with everyone beleiving them to be the bad guy(why couldn't Squall tell that Xehanort wasn't really ansem if you think Mr.Lionheart was so close to ansem the wise.)most fathers wouldn't have been locked away in a realm of absolute nothing with their own daughter not remembering them,and nothing but the power of darkness and a lust for revenge to their name. "I was...Obsessed with thoughts of revenge.My apprentices stole everything precious to me,my research, and my pride."

In the last report, then, his tone is more subdued because Sora is almost restored, and Ansem the Wise shows his affection for Radiant Garden. Even in that "forgive me" moment, even when he let go of his revenge and got back all his old emotions, he still didn't distinguish between Sora, Riku and Kairi. If at that high point in time he still can't remember his daughter, something must be seriously wrong somewhere. Or, it's not the father. Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne

even then he states that his revenge is still on-going.he asked for forgiveness but didn't state he was going to stop. and perhaps after everything that happened,after all he lost,maybe he just couldn't rub salt in the wound

Couldn't rub salt in the wound ? Calling upon Mickey was just as bad, if the two were very close friends. This is more like a law class where we have to prove evident ties of love and affection before even actually proving that there is a familial relationship... darn Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne

that is more difficult when one of the parties doesn't remember said ties. i suggest waiting for BBS

Oh yeah. I just hope it won't be a long wait..... It is rather funny what I would do for honey. • TroisNyxÉtienne

One mississipi,two mississipi,three mississipi...

Sorry just noticed this, Why would squall Know anything about ansem, He couldn't recognize Xehanort for being an Imposter?70.144.122.24 19:46, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Some fun little trivia... Should it be put in Ansem's Trivia section?

Christopher Lee and Corey Burton also have another character they share: Count Dooku from the Star Wars franchise. (Lee portrayed Dooku in Star Wars Episodes II and III, and Burton voiced the same character in the "The Clone Wars" animated movie and TV series.) AJ the Shinigami 23:08, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Pokhmon - I'm so FLATTERED! TALK - But you're TOO LATE! — 09:34, January 31, 2010 (UTC) lets not put it in the trivia section its only relevant to the voice acxtors not the character

Apprentices

ShadowsTwilight - He's leaving you behind, and when you catch up, he'll be a different person TALK - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I am of the opinion that we should have an "Ansem's Apprentices" page. Any thoughts?

No, let's not make the page. Because if we do, we'll only have a little bit to speak about them - the same info can be found on Ansem the Wise's page and the pages of the other apprentices. We've already linked back to them from Ansem the Wise, I think that should suffice. There are some things even the stars cannot tell me. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 23:33, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

ShadowsTwilight - He's leaving you behind, and when you catch up, he'll be a different person TALK - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Think we should at least have a template?

Nitrous X Talk! — Then I shall make you see...That your hopes are nothing. Nothing but a mere illusion! Don't I even warrant a hello, Lexaeus? Yeah, I think we should have a template.

Questions

Did Ansem the Wise always have amber coloured eyes or did it happen after he was banished to the Realm of Nothingness and escaped using the power of darkness?--94.197.98.63 14:58, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

The picture in the article seems to have amber eyes too.--Masgrande 23:29, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

Birth by Sleep Spoilers

Apparently taking place after Kingdom Hearts II, Ansem the Wise and Master Aqua meet up at the Dark Margin to await Sora's return so he can 'free them from their torment.'XYZ. 05:24, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

So, considering that and the data Ansem put into Sora, is he the reason coded and BBS are "connected"?Glorious CHAOS! 22:00, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

While it is true that Ansem states new facts about Sora, he also makes reference to other "crippled creatures" that may or may not be him and Aqua or Terra and Ven. It is also unverified that the line in Jimminy's Journal, "We must return to free them from their torment." is directly referencing Ansem and Aqua. While it is probable, it's not defininte. We do not know if Sora even saw this line from Journal.Neverfate 18:03, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Birth by sleep

The Birth by sleep logo (heart thing) does not appear at the top of this page; I do not know how to add it

DiZ page

I am of the opinion we should have a seperate DiZ page as it was one of Ansems seperate identities. i only say this because of the Captain Dark and Captain Light pagesShadowsTwilight 19:52, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

First off, it's Captain Justice. And it's not really a form. True "DiZ" has great significance, just like Captain Dark and Justice do (hence their own articles, regardless of the fact it's just Pete in some new duds). It's the same case : Ansem wraps a bandage around his head and calls himself "Darkness in Zero." Ergo, he's still Ansem, not a new form/character. - EternalNothingnessXIII 19:56, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

And Pete puts on a fruity Costume and calls himself captain justice or captain dark. It's still pete. and his and DiZ is too a form. Even his facial form changed if you look real close. besides, riku got a page for one of his forms, and its not much different ShadowsTwilight 05:28, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

I think DiZ should have his own page because he is his own charecter in his own write, think about it. DiZ and Ansem the Wise are the same person but also diffrent in meany diffrent ways thats my opinion anyway. Docyx 23 March 2010

Notanybody - Fair enough. You could say I am... the biggest nobody of them all. TALK - 19:15, April 26, 2010 (UTC) It seems to me we should keep this page up for a similar reason, it's kind like how there are four different Xehenorts (master, Terra, Ansem, Xemnas) Though not a new entity like these guys, Diz was still different from Ansem the Wise. Diz was who he had to become to survive in the nothing and dark relms even his outfit (which seems to hold similar properties to the coats) had to change about him. He also could use coridors of darkness and change his apperance (as Heartless Ansem to Riku in CoM: Re/Re)

Notanybody - Fair enough. You could say I am... the biggest nobody of them all. TALK - 19:32, April 26, 2010 (UTC) Although, I just looked over the page again and sense there is so little information maybe we should change it into a Form page perhaps AND we have a detailed DIZ part in the Ansem the Wise page

It is seriously just some ribbons around his face. He still acts the same as he does at the end of the game, and has no unique abilities or anything.Glorious CHAOS! 20:09, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Notanybody - Fair enough. You could say I am... the biggest nobody of them all. TALK - 22:51, April 26, 2010 (UTC) It the ribbons change his whole wardrobe and his skin tone (it's red)and his beard is gone as well and the only other thing known to do that is the coats when they transform say Riku's vest and jeans into a black jumpsuit and boots. Also it's not known about Ansem the Wise, but DIZ freely used darkness where as Ansem didn't, though that might just be that he "died" about a half hour later.

They don't change his whole wardrobe, because he's still wearing it. As for the beard, you can flatten stuff pretty fully when you wrap it down. Same way actors can wear a convincing bald wig. The skin color thing around his mouth - yes, that's different, but it's much more reasonable to chalk that up to Nomura fudging a detail to make it a "twist", rather than DiZ actually being physically different. All the other forms we cover in the games are physically different in nature - if it is visibly a change of clothes, there is still a prominent magical difference. Ribbons around the head just really don't achieve that meaningfulness.Glorious CHAOS! 00:31, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

Notanybody - Fair enough. You could say I am... the biggest nobody of them all. TALK - 00:59, April 27, 2010 (UTC) I'm starting to get your point, but I'm nothing if not thruough so I'll just run the red smoke that comes off when he reveals himself to you, and can I just chalk up the no magic differece to the fact that you're ignoring (and I'll say it again) DIZ's liberal use of portals of darkness and changing himself into Ansem Seeker of Darkness?

KrytenKoro - "It's always best when the other chap is willing to die for his beliefs; you both have the same goal in mind." TALK - Ignoring? Not at all. There's simply no evidence that his magical nature changes. Read what I said again.

Notanybody - Fair enough. You could say I am... the biggest nobody of them all. TALK - 02:50, April 27, 2010 (UTC) How many ways do I have to ask it then, explain how in the nine rings he was able to change into Ansem the Heartless and get around the relm of darkness without a nature change?

May I remind people of the contents of Secret Ansem Report 6, which states:

...I gained a newfound power.

A superhuman power—the power of darkness. ...With this new power, I uncovered a "corridor of darkness" that connects the realm of nothingness to the outside world... To deceive Xehanort and my apprentices, I first used my power to change form before returning to the realm of light.

He disguised himself with the power of darkness, but I don't think that counts as "changing his nature". --Neumannz 03:01, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

Wow, NAB, you don't listen at all.

I am not saying that DiZ doesn't have magical powers. I am saying that there is no evidence that Ansem does not have the same magical powers. For example, Sora's Wisdom Form has abilities that Final Form does not, and vice versa. They have separate magical natures. The same goes with his Merman Form and Lion Form. For Ansem, however, the only difference that we know of is that he takes the bandages off his face. Same clothes, and as far as we know, same abilities. We only want to have distinct pages if the character is distinct - for example, while Roxas is a form of Sora, he is a distinct being. There is no evidence whatsoever that DiZ is a distinct being from Ansem the Wise.Glorious CHAOS! 03:16, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

Notanybody - Fair enough. You could say I am... the biggest nobody of them all. TALK - 04:32, April 27, 2010 (UTC) I listen, you just didn't say anything of substance. If you would have brought up evidence like that earlier, than we would have gotten farther along with this converstation in less space on the wall. I was the one to prepose a Form (Valor, Wisdom, Anti, Dark, Justice, Lion, X's Heartless, ect...engh) page in the first place for Diz back in my second post, but sense you just went along with the "they are one" argument I thought I'd just let you establish a side and I'll back up the other before we go compromising as it useually works out best that way. I don't know the techical shit, I'll leave that to you, but my vote is we make DIZ (as preposed above) both a subsection of the Ansem the Wise article, but we should also make a more detailed Form Article on the subject because of the major differences and story signifigance (just like X's Heartless was for Riku and all the animal/world forms are to the Party)

his name

Durrf9 - Got it memorized? TALK - 21:05, March 3, 2010 (UTC) why is he called DiZ?

Eternal Nothingness XIII - You have to be strong. Strength of heart will carry you through the hardest of trials. TALK - What I do, I do for friendship. — 21:10, March 3, 2010 (UTC) It's an abbreviation for the full name, "Darkness In Zero"

Yes, come to think of it, alot of Kingdom Hearts characters have strange names. Demyx? Xaldin? Ansem? Xehanort? I certainitly couldn't come up with 15 names with an X in them. (Bananaphone1996 00:07, April 15, 2010 (UTC))
