Talk:Soul Eater

I'm under the impression that this should be merged with Way to the Dawn. Thoughts?--N/A

mmm... do we have factual proves that they are the same? Pablo618 02:30, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Not sure, I think I red one comment's link in the Way of The Dawn discussion page saying that Soul Eater changed into TWTTD in KH2. O_o--N/A

I don't remember that :S let's keep it how it is then Pablo618 02:41, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Seems possible though, given their physical similarities. --Hecko X 13:23, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Setup

'Cause this weapon isn't usable in KHI, do we need the KH's weapon box? And because it's not a Keyblade, do we need the Keyblade navigation template? OtO^con^_- 00:43, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

No on both accounts. --Hecko X 06:04, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Ansem's(KH1) Halberd

In KH1 when you fight (What's his real name?) his weapon is a double bladed version of the soul eater, and could be an evolved form, or two soul eaters bound at the hilt, should that weapon be in this article or have it's own, drasticly short page?

Growth

ShadowsTwilight - He's leaving you behind, and when you catch up, he'll be a different person TALK - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Anyone else notice that soul eater seems to grow with riku?

Tabs

Again, what happened to the tabs ? Strangely, they seemed to work for Kingdom Key D. TNÉ _{En avant Bravo !} 07:32, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

BBS

I removed the passage from the page, since it took two paragraphs to literally say "this is speculation" over and over. This one line seems important, though.Glorious CHAOS! 02:24, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Though later confirmed in one of Nomura's interviews that the scene with The Way to the Dawn in BBS was nothing more than a teaser and is not actually canon to the storyline.

Cleanup

1. How are we going to do the picture? When the infoboxes are fixed up, they will take its place and be using the Days sprite. Do we want to use the current picture somewhere else in the article, or just rely on the sprites?
2. Does anyone have any source for where Riku got the Soul Eater? We used to claim that Maleficent gave it to him, but the game script only has her giving him powers a while after he first uses the weapon, and it's the Heartless-control and Dark Mode suit. I mean, it's a fair assumption, but I don't think we should be outright claiming it without proof.Glorious CHAOS! 20:52, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

I would say we utilize the image in a gallery, like "Soul Eater Concept Art" or something. As for the source, there really ISN'T one, at least any official one. Riku didn't just randomly get a sword like that, as Sora got the Keyblade. It was a weapon made of the darkness from either Ansem upon his first encounter in hooded form with Riku, or from Maleficent when he first showed up in Hallow Bastion, as seen in the Manga, for him to weild, hence it is summoned in a cloud of dark energy, hence he only first had it after Maleficent first began to brainwash him. Riku did earn Heartless control from the witch, but it was "ANSEM" who first gave him the Dark Mode suit, not Maleficent. - EternalNothingnessXIII 21:01, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Well, she gave him something right after Hook is defeated:

Maleficent: Yes, the untapped power that lies within you. Now, child, it’s time you awakened that power and realized your full potential.

And he used the suit in the first battle against him at Hollow Bastion, which I believe was before the Ansem scene.Glorious CHAOS! 21:22, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

But she didn't give it to him. She was merely encouraging Riku to open his heart and surrender it to the dark. He actually wore the suit because the darkness in his heart had consumed him. It says so in the Journal. - EternalNothingnessXIII 21:25, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Eh, fair enough. The point is, the Soul Eater appears at the Traverse Town meeting, and we don't see Maleficent giving/awakening anything until after Monstro. In COM, it is revealed she gave him a bedroom too, but we never actually have anyone say she made the Soul Eater for him. So, we don't know that Maleficent gave it to him, even if it's reasonable.Glorious CHAOS! 21:37, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Exactly my point. But what do we say? We can't just leave it as "he randomly winds up with a sword"... - EternalNothingnessXIII 21:42, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Well, we can, kind of. Something like "Riku obtains the Soul Eater at some point after arriving at Hollow Bastion."Glorious CHAOS! 21:55, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Ugh... I don't like it. Too general. How about "After losing the Keyblade to Sora via his choice to side with darkness, Riku was instead presented with the Soul Eater. He continued to utilize the blade since his arrival in Hallow Bastion after the destruction of Destiny Islands."

This makes the most sense, to me, at least, as he only has a toy sword on the islands before their destruction, and he has it in Traverse Town, which is after his arrival at Hallow Bastion, where he's first teleported on the Islands. Perfectly illustrated in the Manga. - EternalNothingnessXIII 21:58, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
