Why did Mickey never meet Terra in BBS? He considers him a friend in DDD yet they never met once in the prequel.
This was probably done in order to not create a discrepancy with KH 2 as if Mickey had personally met Terra and possibly even interacted with him, him not recognizing Apprentice Xehanort during the flashbacks in KH 2 would be very hard to justify.
It's somewhat similar to why Mickey never met Roxas in person even once as he would then have connected some dots in regards to Ventus earlier than the end of Re: Coded.
When Mickey gets shown the painful memories by Data-Naminé in the Re: Coded finale he finally gets to see what Roxas looks like, and a few scenes later tells Yen Sid he might have found a clue to where Ventus' heart is.
The story dropping the whole "scent" thing. As dumb as Riku and Zexion sniffing round was, it's a useful ability and forgetting they have it will only create more nitpicks. ("Why didn't Riku know [insert here] was [insert here] when his nose would have told him such?)
I will actually have to agree with that one as despite how ridiculously it is worded in Re: Chain of Memories, the ability to discern an "Aura-scent" and thus identify a person (or that persons elemental alignment) is a pretty common "passive extra ability" in fantasy works.
Yep, Vegeta meme is still strong...;P
That's the problem, though; they just convince people to go dark as part of their plan and hope it totally works out and they picked just the right guy to be a minor antagonist? That is a really bad plan; there is NO WAY they would get nearly as many people to do that to make it a substantial income of hearts. There is just no way. And, even so, wouldn't the boss still just release ONE god damn heart anyways? What's the point? It's not like the bosses have been pre-established to have super hearts by Nomura, it's just a stupid plan by the organization to create a diddlying MINISCULE amount of heartless in the process. And, if it really was their ultimate goal to just consistently turn people, how come we only see them actively trying to turn someone heartless in Beast's Castle? Oh, and also, you even said that they can just summon their own heartless, SO WHY IS XALDIN SO FIXATED ON TURNING THIS ONE GUY EVIL IF THEY COULD EASILY JUST NOT DO THAT AND CONTINUING TO KILL JOE SCHMOES TO KEEP SUMMONING REGULAR EMBLEMS THAT WILL GIVE THEM THE SAME RESULT?! And I know they tried to turn beast evil so they could also get his nobody, but how do they know his nobody will a) gain a human/beast form, and b) that he will totally comply to their demands? Do nobodies just have completely different personalities and loyalties once they're turned? I guess it would explain why Even didn't say jack shit to Lea when he woke up, but still. This is ridiculous. Also, if he just turns into a standard upper nobody, then they diddlyed up. That's just another soldier. I could get if Xemnas meant that they just chased down literally anyone to be a nobody/heartless and just killed everything in sight, but the organization's plan in these instances seems a lot more directed, and therefore is a lot more flawed. And I know they must kill more people in their path; it's just weird that Xaldin is so fixated on turning this one diddlying guy into a heartless/nobody when he doesn't even know if it'll work out for him.
Sorry about that, that totally devolved into a rant on Beast's Castle. Ummm, new nitpick?
At least from what I saw in the English version, she splashes a vial onto the mirror, turning it into an unversed. So, she didn't create him, but she totally made him an unversed (don't know about a version difference, though). As for Lady Tremaine, I want to take that Vanitas line as a personal headcanon, lol.
Congrats on 9,000! I bet 8,000 of those were spent on debunks on threads like these, lol xD
I think you're comparing apples with pears here, lol, as Beast was certainly a special case and the bosses were just the actually
shown ones.
Where do you think all the minor Heartless Sora & co. fight throughout KH 2 come from? The Machine does not produce any anymore until the MCP shortly reactivates it during one Space Paranoids episode and the Door to Darkness is sealed so there can't be any resupply coming from the Realm of Darkness.
Some of these Heartless are leftovers from KH 1's time, yes, but a not insignificant number of them are normal everyday people turned into Heartless (either by manipulation or by force, just like with the generic NPC in Traverse Town in KH 1) by either Pete (who even states that this is his mission when you first meet him at Yen Sid's tower) or Organisation members off screen.
The Heartless the Org members summon are not "their own" but those they have created themselves by either manipulating or
forcing people to fall into the Darkness.
It doesn't need to be as elaborate and flashy like Xaldin's way with beast (who has an exceptionally strong heart as is already confirmed), the usual quickest method would be like this actually:
Xemnas: "Saix, we need more Heartless for Sora to fell, our KH needs more Hearts!"
Saix: "No problem at all."
Saix enters a dark corridor, reappears i.e. in a chinese village somewhere in Land of Dragons.
Saix snaps a finger and summons a horde of already existing Heartless, which proceed to attack all the villagers and steal their hearts, turning them into Heartless as well, rinse and repeat.
Heck, the massive army of those little flying Heartless commanded by Shan-Yu probably once
were his massive army of huns but they got all turned into Heartless by either Pete, an Org member or even Shan-Yu himself.
ALL Org members not having a Keyblade or named Xemnas probably do things like these on a regular basis, the ones with the boss-level Heartless are just the ones shown directly because they're more flashy.
All those regular Heartless still roaming the RoL are not just "there" because nor does the Organisation pull them out of their pockets, they create them by attacking regular people.
Yen Sid and Mickey wanting the Org to be destroyed is not only because "boo boo Nobody racism" as Org fangirls scream, but because they're a legitimate threat to the universal order.
Many people will hate me for this and tell me there are thousands of good reasons for it, but...
Sora, the manchild with the purest of hearts that will save us all with his innocence, mocking Demyx and treating him like the vilest scum instead of thinking "Hey, this dude doesn't want to fight and by the way I'm insulting him I obviously don't consider him a threat at all... maybe I could reason with him." and not even fazing at the horrible death scream the guitarist makes upon disappearing.
But Axel, an actual warrior who kidnapped Kairi, gets immediate forgiveness and a Keychain bond.
I guess Demyx wasn't fast enough to shift all the blame onto Sai- wait he actually did! Twice he said he was there cause of orders and against his will!
Seriously, that makes no sense to me.
Deep Jungle Donald was more of a villain than Demyx.
You don't even need thousands of good reasons for it, lol, only one is already enough:
Context.
The situation was a war-like one, Sora & co. were on their way to help Leon & co. and not only was Demyx a commander of the enemy forces, he also holds them up and prevents them from coming to the aid of their friends.
Donald
did tell Demyx to move out of the way yet he didn't comply, so what?
Granted though, the way Sora reacts there with his mocking attitude is not only counterproductive but wasting time as well.
Had it been me in Sora's situation there I wouldn't have done that at all but demand Demyx to step aside once as well and if he didn't comply I would have immediately blasted him away with magic or stab him through the chest before a drawn-out battle could commence.
Ain't got no time for chit-chat with the enemy if I want to help my friends already fighting further down.
The situation with Axel on the other hand was less extreme as it wasn't a true war setting. Sora knew Kairi was locked up by the Org but not in immediate physical danger like Leon & co. were during the war at Radiant Garden.
Axel also fought
alongside Sora immediately beforehand, he was assisting Sora to proceed and
not holding him up like Demyx was.
Then he apologized for his wrongdoings
and opened the portal that finally allowed Sora to reach his goal.
In context, while Axel's crime was certainly bigger in comparison, the support and help Sora got from his side outranked anything Demyx did by several magnitudes.
The only thing Demyx ever did was holding Sora up and impeding his progress.
