The 'ion' in Xion

[Teiku 5]

i'll admit before i start that this isnt the most thought out of theories but i think it leads to some interesting possibillites as well as an explanation to xion's name.

if you just look at the combination of letters in xion's name you wont come up with much. but if you just take away the x, you get 'ion.' (this also works in romaji so i think this would make sense). in chemistry, an ion is what you get when two atoms bond together and one atom takes electrons from the the other. so an ion itself is not a normal atom, but rather an atom that has either extra electrons or is lacking some electrons.

so how would this apply to xion? since xion has a lack of memories, her somebody could be the matching ion, the one that has them. and due to namine, the balance of memories somehow becomes disrupted.

and just like in chemistry, when an atom goes through a reaction, its appearance changes, so does xion's (presumably toward the end of the game, that scene can be seen in the newest trailer for anyone that hasnt seen it).

so whaddaya think?

I still like "No I" better :v her being such a weird and seemingly important supposed-Nobody, it ties in with Xehanort's anagram, for instance.

It's been mentioned alot, but it might work. Might not be Xion's true name, but No I is better, like no self.

EDIT: I hate you Rain.

hmm well i tried at least lol. i just liked the fact that it worked in japanese the same way. does xehanort work that way too?

 

[Lolita]

Wait, what about " No I"? ouo /confused

The theory is well thought out, and it might work.

Nope, just the English letters. Another and No Heart X.

"No I" like no former self. Xion might not have one.

 

[Marly]

I could see where that could be thought of outside the game. But I don't think they would ever implement such an explanation in the game itself. I like the No I one :3

Nomura confirmed that Xehanort can mean both No Heart and Another, amongst other possible anagrams when you removed the X. Hence why I like No I for Xion, especially since "Ion" won't really be an anagram. You'll just slap on the X.

No I + X => Xion. Motif from her identity crisis.

 

[Lolita]

OH.
Now I get the "No I" thing.
I was like " OuO What..."
Thanks. xD:;

 

[The Golden Sitar]

It took me a second to get the No I one. xD;;;
I think it sounds very plausible, and makes plenty of sense with what we already know.

 

[Zeagal]

I like the idea of the ion being there, and it's a nice coincidance, but No I i think is better as before stated by like everyone.

Nope, just the English letters. Another and No Heart X.

"No I" like no former self. Xion might not have one.

Or she might be one ^^

 

[Teiku 5]

...i feel so defeated haha. but i never actually had realized the 'no I' so i guess i got something out of this lol.

 

[Zen]

Or it could be that the "I" actually stands for one, not as in No. 1 or anything like that. What I mean is that "No I" could actually stand for "No One"

 

[Smile]

Calling her No One would be redundant since she's already labeled a "Nobody".
...
o,o !
No. I -> #1
What if Xion's the first Nobody?
Ties in with the "Xehanort captured Aqua and used her for experimentation" concept XD

 

[Lynnx]

Hadn't thought of that before.

 

[Zeagal]

That'd be creepy and awesome. Though I rather like the idea of Xion not being a nobody at all.

 

[ogichi/ichigo]

Wow, that's some amazin' stuff Rain.

 

[Smile]

That'd be creepy and awesome. Though I rather like the idea of Xion not being a nobody at all.

Well, the number could just be to label her as an experimentation o,o the first test subject more than the first actual Nobody. It still adds up.

thats crazy enough to be true.

 

[Smile]

inorite.
It would explain the people whose Darkness Xehanort tampered with and then locked up in the basement as described in the KH1 Ansem Reports... a basement which later on became the Room of Sleep - where Aqua's armor is in! O:
