I was thinking and it said something about Master Xehanort having an apprentice, yes? I believe it was stated (even if not it is rather safe to assume it) that the Dark Soldier guy is his apprentice. Now... In the Secret Ending in Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix +, there was the massive battle where Terra, Aqua, and Ven fought Master Xehanort and his apprentice. Master Xehanort used one hand to create a wall of earth. When and where did Xehanort/"Ansem"/Xemnas show powers anywhere near parallel with what that guy did?
What I'm trying to say is that the Xehanort we know from the KH games... I don't think that Master Xehanort and him are the same. Rather I think that Master Xehanort was indeed defeated by Terra and Co. in that epic battle at the end. The Dark Soldier may have been the one transported to Radiant Garden, not Xehanort. When he got there, he may have lost his memories, or he just pretended to. Either way he took his master's name because of how much he respected and revered him and such. He also ended up taking his new master's name later on if you recall him being Ansem in Heartless form and Xemnas in Nobody form. So he is known to have done something like this before, so I don't think it is too out there.
So.... why would I even think this? The answer is simple. Master Xehanort was a powerful wizard blasting magics to fight his enemies off. The Dark Soldier fought mostly with close combat abilities. Ansem and Xemnas both used more close combat than magic... IF they even used magic at all. Now if they were the true Xehanort, they would have been much more powerful than they were. Also, if the Dark Soldier is the Xehanort we know in KH, there would be no need to explain why/how he got younger because he already is about the right age. I just think that if we were ever fighting against someone as powerful as the real Xehanort (who was once called the whateveritwas Elder Mage) he would have been MUCH more difficult and powerful than the one we fought.
This is feeling incomplete for some reason. >_<
Oh well, tear me apart. I think the grey makes it easier on the eyes >,>;
