New KHBBSFM NO heart boss scans

[chasespicer056]

Because he's lazy? Because having two extra Keyblade wielders means getting more hearts in a shorter amount of time? Because his Nobody powers were better?

No, none of those would make sense. Him having a Keyblade could only HELP his goal to complete KH.

I'm gonna make an official theory later, but think about a few things for a moment:

*Xemnas is Terra's body and soul , nothing else. He may very well just be Terra without emotions.

*Xemnas's intentions about Kingdom Hearts are STILL a mystery.

So my theory is like I said above: Using MX's Keyblade made him like MX, so he didn't use it.

Because he's lazy?

That would be an absurdly stupid reason for him not to use it, especially in the final battle against Sora and Riku.

Because having two extra Keyblade wielders means getting more hearts in a shorter amount of time?

And having a third would be in even less.

Because his Nobody powers were better?

You actually think his Nobody powers could be better than a keyblade?
"The Keyblade... a truly remarkable weapon. Were it only in more... capable hands."


So, basically, I think this is Nomura's way of trying to tell us that, yes, Xemnas did have the ability to use the keyblade. Why he chose not to is definitely something that's a bit more complicated than the explanations you offered, though.

 

[HeartSeams]

No, none of those would make sense. Him having a Keyblade could only HELP his goal to complete KH.

Only if he intended to get off his ass and do it. One must also consider though, that, in KH2:FM+ the Organization Members are talking about killing Sora and if their plan could proceed if they had to, and Xemnas pretty much says yes. Which one could possibly look at him deciding to pick up the slack if Sora were to die.

Xigbar: If we are forced to eliminate Sora, our plan can still continue, right?
Xemnas: If it came to that, yes. We would have no choice.

Why he chose not to is definitely something that's a bit more complicated than the explanations you offered, though.

Funny, Nomura's offered explanation was pretty much just "he chose not to, i want it to be a mystery, lolololol"

 

[whodeany]

I think it could be The leftover body of MX when he separated his heart to take over Terra. I guess we'll see in a few months...

 

[loke13]

I don't think, so I doubt Xemnas would let a little thing like laziness come in between him and godhood.

I think it could be The leftover body of MX when he separated his heart to take over Terra. I guess we'll see in a few months...

Or simply a Mirage Arena Boss.

 

[HeartSeams]

I don't think, so I doubt Xemnas would let a little thing like laziness come in between him and godhood.

I could. All through Days and KH2 he does absolutely nothing but sit in a throne. Xemnas is not a "go out and do shit myself" kind of villain.

Well yeah. Xemnas figured that if worst came to worst, he'd just have to find another Keyblade wielder. There were others to manipulate after all. Mickey and Riku didn't seem to fully understand that killing Heartless only helped him.

I have my own thoughts on this mystery about the Keyblade though: Xemnas Theory

This theory is ALL about Xemnas, actually because I find him to still be a mysterious villain. Not just this mystery about the Keyblade.

I could. All through Days and KH2 he does absolutely nothing but sit in a throne. Xemnas is not a "go out and do shit myself" kind of villain.

And what did Ansem SOD do for most of KH1?

 

[HeartSeams]

Well yeah. Xemnas figured that if worst came to worst, he'd just have to find another Keyblade wielder.

Or he could just whip out his own.

 

[Oracle Spockanort]

Or he could just whip out his own.

Maybe his was dysfunctional.

 

[loke13]

I could. All through Days and KH2 he does absolutely nothing but sit in a throne. Xemnas is not a "go out and do shit myself" kind of villain.

I still don't think so. Xemnas sounded overly found of the keyblade calling it a "marvelous weapon" I just can't think Xemnas would have the keyblade and not use it especially in his final battle against Sora and Riku.

 

[chasespicer056]

Or he could just whip out his own.

But then why didn't he do that from the start?

There is a REASON, an actual reason why Xemnas chose not to use it. I don't know if I'm right about it, but I know that there is a reason.

I'm not gonna explain my thoughts on Xemnas here. Just read the theory I did for an explanation of why I think he didn't use it if you want to know where I'm coming from:

Xemnas Theory

 

[Zyrax]

I am sure, this will be the boss appearing in the secret ending for KH: BbS FM

 

[Unusual1290]

anyone else relieved that these new bosses are only in the mirage arena? That most likely means that they aren't cannon

 

[HeartSeams]

I still don't think so.

I'm sorry but you can't deny that Xemnas is a "sit on his ass" type of villain, that's fact.

Xemnas sounded overly found of the keyblade calling it a "marvelous weapon" I just can't think Xemnas would have the keyblade and not use it especially in his final battle against Sora and Riku.

Well, that IS how it's going to be. If you look at this Mirage Arena fight as saying that Xemnas -could've- wielded a Keyblade, that means he chose not to. And if he had a choice in choosing not to, that means he also could've chosen to use it. And he didn't. So, no matter what, he did choose not to wield one instead of choosing to wield one.

Exactly! And that's a mystery the next game may address: why he didn't use the Keyblade.

 

[whodeany]

Yeah, id be happy if these are just fan-service bosses. If he can make them work in the canon, good on him. If not, please don't try...

 

[loke13]

Well the same could be said for MX couldn't it? MX used Braig, Vanitas, Eraqus, and Terra for his own personal goal the same as Xemnas.

If you look at this Mirage Arena fight as saying that Xemnas -could've- wielded a Keyblade..

But I don't =/

 

[HeartSeams]

Well the same could be said for MX couldn't it?

No. I saw MX doing a lot more than sitting on his ass for two games. He went to Land of Departure and planted seeds into Terra's heart, got Vanitas to do the same to Ven. Then he went to Enchanted Dominion and told Maleficent about the Princesses and how Keyblade Masters can extract hearts and even forced Terra to extract one. He went to Radiant Garden and worked with Braig on a plan to make the darkness in Terra even worse. etc.

MX actually went around and set up plans and set them in motion, making them work how he wanted. He had a direct influence in pretty much all of the character's stories instead of sitting up in a tower staring at a moon.

But I don't =/

There's no other point to this fight other than that, I'm afraid.

Yeah, id be happy if these are just fan-service bosses. If he can make them work in the canon, good on him. If not, please don't try...

It's in the Mirage Arena... meaning he isn't even -trying- to work them into canon at least not on a story level.

 

[gelandporn]

Funny, Nomura's offered explanation was pretty much just "he chose not to, i want it to be a mystery, lolololol"

"I want it to remain a mystery" isn't the explanation...
Whether he ends up explicitly saying it or not, there is an explanation, but it's more complicated than "He chose not to." There has to be a reason why he chose not to, not "just because," since that would make zero sense given what we know.

For example, it could be possible that Xemnas , if he sees himself as Terra, refuses to use MX's keyblade on the moral grounds that it was the same keyblade which tore his friend's heart in half, destroyed his Master, and allowed MX to gain entry to Terra's heart. His reasoning here would be more deontological than utilitarian. He would rather die and fail to achieve his goal than use that keyblade.

I could. All through Days and KH2 he does absolutely nothing but sit in a throne. Xemnas is not a "go out and do shit myself" kind of villain.

It's not even an issue of being lazy, though, when we look at his fight with Sora and Riku. Laziness cannot be an explanation there. I don't think summoning a keyblade would be any more of a hassle than using any of his other techniques. In fact, using the Keyblade there would have probably made the fight easier for him.

I'd rather he be lazy than an idiot. But, maybe that's just me.

Either way, he chose not to wield one, which is stupid no matter how you look at it.
