Hey y'all.
This thread might've been opened a few times in the past due to the nature of the subject, but exactly because it's an old debate I'd like to see if there's something I don't know, because I think I've pretty much figured it out.
First of all, with "Anti Sora" I'm talking about the boss encountered in the first KH in Hook's Ship, and not the Anti Form (sometimes people get those two mixed up).
Anti Sora is commonly believed and reported by pretty much every KH wiki to be a Pureblood Heartless, whereas I think that Anti Sora (and Sora's Shadow, which I believe are the same type of beings if not the same entity altogether) is just a reference to Peter Pan and his shadow: the way Sora's Shadow mocks Sora by dancing in place or relaxing is the same as what Peter's Shadow does, plus Riku refers to that as "other tricks he learned", something different than controlling the Heartless (also Riku was never shown as someone who could create Heartless). Lastly, neither of the two is shown in the Journal in the Heartless section, something that only happens again with endgame enemies.
Now, since even KHInsider reports Anti Sora as a Heartless, was that ever confirmed somewhere and my explanation is just empty guesswork?
I'm pretty much convinced Anti Sora is not a Heartless, but if it was stated otherwise I'll accept it. As long as I can fianlly have a soldi answer for this long riddle.
