Kingdom Hearts 3D/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

* Probably due to the lack of a proper translation, but what exactly ''is'' {{spoiler|Young Xehanort's}} deal? {{spoiler|Is he an alternate timeline Xehanort, a [[Stable Time Loop]] Xehanort, a Xehanort from an alternate timeline converted ''into'' a [[Stable Time Loop]]?}} Various places (even on this site) say varying things.

** It's a bit hard (and confusing), but the gist of it is below:

Somewhere along all their scheming and plotting, [[Ansem So D]] traveled back in time and found Young Xehanort, both influencing him to become Master Xehanort in the first place, AND travel forward in time to help all his future selves. So yeah, Xehanort was more-or-less responsible for his OWN [[Start of Darkness]], thanks to ample use of [[Stable Time Loop]]. }}

** {{spoiler|Ansem didn't influence Young Xehanort in any way. All Ansem did was send him on a journey throughout time to retrieve all the incarnations of Xehanort, both fused and splintered, to prepare failsafes in case Xemnas plan to turn all the [[Organization XIII]] containers for Master Xehanort's heart (Which he did; only Isa and Braig were turned.) Young Xehanort is going to return back to his time after helping his older self forge the X-Blade by fighting the seven lights and will have no recollection of events that happened outside his time. Thus, Ansem did NOT create a [[Stable Time Loop]]; Young Xehanort is still going to leave the islands and turn evil because the past cannot be changed.}}

* So Yoshiya "Joshua" Kiryu tell me why, {{spoiler|O why Shiki is in Eri's appearance?}}

** Presumably for 2 reasons:

Her current appearance is the most [[Male Gaze|eye-catching]], for both the audience and everyone else. }}

* So. Could anybody PLEASE explain to me WHAT the deal with Xehanort's plan {{spoiler|to assemble 13 Dark Hearts and 7 Lights}} is?! {{spoiler|So, basically, he needs 13 hearts of pure Darkness and 7 hearts of pure light to create a PERFECT x-Blade, one that won't shatter on the first-best oportunity, like Venitas' did. So far, so good. However, it's been stated SEVERAL times that the only pure-light hearts are the 7 Princesses of Heart, who were part of the first X-Blade too, meaning that he will NEED those to combat his Organization of Clones, everything else wouldn't work. OK, OK, that still makes sense. HOWEVER, suddenly, he claims he was also trying to gather "7 Protectors of Light", keyblade wielders, to start the Keyblade war with. OK, OK, now, what did I miss? If he gets his X-Blade by just sending his Organization XIII.2 to merge with the Princesses, why would he want 7 Keyblade Wielders to OPPOSE him?! He sure as hell can't forge the X-Blade for them, Riku and Lea are partially Darkness Users themselves and even if they weren't, it's CLEAR none of them are hearts of pure light, not even Mickey or Sora. So are the 7 Protectors of Light meant to serve as bodyguards for the Princesses? The Secret Ending heavily implies this to be the case. But why would Xehanort WANT bodyguards for them? Why would he WANT them to be protected when he comes to take them? And if there is a reason, why would Yen Sid play right into the plan by assembling the 7 Protectors of Light himself when Xehanort fails at it?! Why?! Why do it HAVE to be 7, can't they just, like, just have 6 and place two princesses under the protection of one? I'm sure Riku could pull that off, he's become pretty overkill during the game. And why, in Light's sake, did they decide to make Kairi a Protector of Light herself?! Is she supposed to be her own bodyguard?! With only a few months of Keyblade experience?! Nice job, playing the Cosmic Keystone right into [[Organization XIII]].2's hands then, Yen Sid!}} ...Uhh... My brain... it hurts... X-x

** Since there's a lot questions, I'll start with a few at once.

{{spoiler|'''Why does Xehanort want bodyguards for the 7 Princess's?'''}} Considering Master Xehanort's rigged use of [[Crazy Prepared]], [[The Plan]], [[Xanatos Speed Chess]], and other tropes... he's probably gonna have plans for them, for his own amusement, while still being able to take the 7 Princess's. {{spoiler|Plus, he'll need the 7 Protecters for when he forges his perfect X-blade, so he can see what a 2nd Keyblade War looks like}}, you know, [[For Science!]]. }}

* So what did happen to Shiki before Riku run into {{spoiler|Young Xehanort?}}
