Re: Ever notice Ansem and Riku's swords?
Ok first of all just from reading this thread you can come to the conclusion that noone really knows except for the makers of KH where the Soul Eater came from. I'm here to tell my theory on where it came from.
Heres the facts and ideas that build up my theoory-
1 When Riku first embraced the darkness
2 What the Soal Eater does
3 How i think Riku's Soal Eater Soul Eater was created
4 How I think Ansem got the double Ended Soul Eater
5 Another Theory based on COM
1 When Riku first embraced the darkness-
On Destiny Island Riku Embraced the Darkness in an attempt to get off his prison, The islands
2 What the Soal Eater does-
The Soal Eater is a weapon that feads of the darkness of someones heart. So the more darkness in someones heart and the darkness in the peoples hearts the Soal Eater consumes the stronger it gets.
3 How i think Riku's Soal Eater Soul Eater was created
I believe that Riku's Soul Eater was created when he embraced Darkness. I say this because of the characteristics of the weapon and the fact that Riku was the "Origonal" keyblade bearer as people like to call him. Since he embraced Darkness his heart's darkness became stronger and since he was nolonger able to use a keyblade (more or less) his heard created a substitute weapon being the Soal Eater which would work best alongside someone with a strong heart, which someone destined to be a keybearer must have.
4 How I think Ansem got the double Ended Soul Eater-
Ansem possesed Riku meaning Ansem obtained Riku's weapon. The reason why it changed shape is most likely because the person using its darkness is stronger. This is Ansem we're talking about or atleast part of him (i'll touch on this later). The stronger the darkness, the stronger the Soul Eater beacomes which would mean that someone possesed by Ansem would have loads of darkness inside of them meaning that the Soul Eater would not only beacome stronger but it may also change shape (being in the realm of darkness helps too).
5 Another Theory based on COM- ***possible spoilers***
Diz states when you first meat him in "Reverse Rebirth" that he is basically both Ansem and not Ansem at the same time. This can be close to proven within my theory.
The Ansem you see at the end of the game isn't what Ansem really looks like, more or less. He mearly took on the features of the person he possesed and manipulated that form to fit him. For example, the hair, it is white lexactly like Riku's and the only reason why it is that colour is because he possesed Riku. For all we know Ansem could have vibrant "Red" hair which is highly unlikely in my eyes. This would mean that the person you fought at the end of KH was not Ansem but a manipulated form of Riku possesed by Ansem.
Now to pinpoint the conection imbetween Ansem and Diz. When you first see Ansem in KH he is in a cloak and merely what is left after he became, as he so kindly stated near the end of KH, "The hearts true essence", Darkness. What you see at the begining of KH is Ansems Heart consumed by dDarkness wandering around trying to find a new hoast and guess who is manipulated and chosen, Riku (Poor Riku's got it hard :'( ).
Now if what we know as Ansem is merely a crafted body and a heart of darkness then where is the other parts of Ansem? Mickey states that Diz seams familiar to him somehow. If anyone remembers King Mickey pays a visit to Ansem during his travels before Ansem's heart beacomes one with darkness. This would explain why he recognises Diz. In another Ansems report we learn that When a heart is cast into darkness what remains is a mere shell. I believe that Diz is Ansem's shell.
But why bandage yourself up? Well I can think of 3 reasons.
1- To hide his identity from the king
2- Ansem, in an atempt to beacome one with darkness experimented with is and may have badly damadged his body while going through the transfer from excesive amounts of darkness.
3-He is ashamed of who he is and what has beacome of his heart so he doesn't want to show his face to anyone (But i wouldn't blame him
)
Thanks to anyone who actually took the time to read all that
And if anyone can prove me wrong please do, be my guest i'd like your imput
