Without Vanitas commanding them, the Unversed generally cause chaos. They appear drawn to the [[Princesses of Heart]], due to the pure light in their hearts; however, they can also be drawn in when someone's heart is wounded and they are being negative. | |||
When the [[Magic Mirror]] was turned into an Unversed, it focused on attacking anyone that wasn't [[the Queen]]; in addition, the [[Mad Treant]] was likely born when the Queen plotted to poison Snow White with her sleeping apple.--> | |||

The Unversed (アンヴァース Anvāsu)[1] are monsters that appear in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. They attack Terra, Ventus, and Aqua on many occasions over the course of their respective journeys.
Story
Before Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
| This information is based on alternate scenes or materials and is not considered canon within the overall plot of the series. |
|---|
| The first Unversed are born soon after Vanitas is created by Master Xehanort. Vanitas attempts to destroy the creatures, but he merely absorbs them. Their negativity worsens his mental state, and this, in turn, spawns more Unversed. A vicious cycle begins that does not end until Ventus's damaged heart contacts Sora's new one. After this, Vanitas leaves Ventus and is forced to fight more Unversed. The pain and suffering this causes him leads him to submit to Master Xehanort and agree to help him forge the χ-blade. |
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
After Master Eraqus conducts Terra and Aqua's Mark of Mastery exam, the Unversed are unleashed in accordance with Master Xehanort's ambitions. In each of the worlds they plague, the creatures are attracted to negativity.[2] They ultimately cease to be after Ventus fuses with Vanitas, who reveals the Unversed only existed to make Ventus stronger.[3]
Kingdom Hearts III
As a result of Master Xehanort's plan to gather thirteen darknesses for the second Keyblade War, Vanitas is brought forward in time to clash with the Seven Guardians of Light. The Unversed, and Vanitas's control over them, return as well. Intrigued with how negative emotions are exploited in the world of Monstropolis, Vanitas sends hordes of Unversed to that world. On the Laugh Floor at the Monsters Inc. factory, the Unversed utilize the company's former business model of deploying Scarers into children's bedrooms to collect scream energy, allowing them to accumulate enough negative emotion to reconstitute Vanitas's heart.
Unversed back up the Heartless and Nobodies at the Keyblade Graveyard.
After Vanitas's defeat at the hands of Sora and Ventus, the Unversed cease to exist once more.
Design
Unversed come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. A key component of their design is emotion, thus their red eyes are made to resemble laughing, angry, and crying faces. The emblem that appears on the bodies of all Unversed (excluding the Flood) represents a heart that expresses emotion.[4]
Nature
- "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 Unversed to Ventus
Unversed are "those who are not well-versed in their own existences". They are the result of the negative emotions produced when Ventus and Vanitas were separated by Master Xehanort. The Unversed are extensions of Vanitas himself, thus they obey his every command.[3] They only exist if Vanitas also exists, and if Vanitas is destroyed, they also are destroyed. However, certain Unversed like Cursed Coach and Symphony Master were spawned by the negative emotions of Lady Tremaine and focused on trying to carry out her wishes to harm Cinderella.[5]
List of Unversed
- Unversed listed in italics are exclusive to Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix.
- Unversed listed in bold serve as bosses.
Notes and references
- ^ The Unversed were once publicly known as "Unbirths" due to a fan mistranslation.
- ^ Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Eraqus: "All the more reason, then, for concern—for he tells me the Princesses of Heart are in danger. Not only from the forces of darkness, as you may assume...but also from a new threat—one that feeds on negativity. Fledgling emotions that have taken monster form—Yen Sid calls them the "Unversed.""
- ^ a b Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Vanitas: "I released them in all the worlds I could, hoping to lure you away from home and isolate you from your Master. We needed to make you stronger. The Unversed were the perfect opponents. And better yet, no matter how many times you defeat them, their negativity flows right back into me."
- ^ Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania, Testuya Nomura: "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."
- ^ Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Aqua: "The darkness in their hearts overtook them."
