To say that the lore of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kingdom Hearts is confusing at times is a bit of an understatement. What’s a Nobody? A Somebody? How does Xehanort have all of these things and more at once? Besides that, one piece of🍷 lore that has confused many is the reason that Roxas looks exactly like Ventus.
We know that Roxas is Sora’s Nobody, and all the other Nobodies are exact replicas of their Somebody, so why doesn’t Roxas look like Sora, but is the spitting image of Ventus instead? The games don’t explicitly tell you why this is the case, but there is an explanation threaded throughou🎐t the series.
Xehanort’s Manipulation Of Ventus
When Xehanort meets Ventus, he believes him to be vital to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:creating the X-Blade and reinstating the Keyblade War. Ventus refuses to be a part of Xehanort’s plan, but Xehanort is adamant and splits Ventus into two light and dark halves against his will. This eventually resulted in Vanitas.
Ventus himself is left in a vulnerable state, with his heart incomplete and broken. But, as luck would have it, Ventus’ heart finds its way to Destiny Islands, where it finds 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a young Sora. Sora’s heart allows Ventus’ heart to connect with it and heal. Eventually, Ventus regains cons🦩ciousness, and the rest of the story plays out in Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep.
At the game’s conclusion, Ventus comes face-to-face🌞 with Vanitas, who is still closely tied to Xehanort, and his plan to forge the X-Blade. Ventus fights Vanitas, hoping to fully gain control of himself once more.
When Vanitas is defeated, however, Ventus is once again left in a rough state. He has lost his heart and enters a deep sleep. Aqua takes his body to safety, and while he’s sleeping, Ventus’ heart once again seeks solace in Sora’s heart. Ventus’ heart resides inside Sora, where it heals itself, up until Ventus appears again in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kingdom Hearts 3.
Roxas’ Birth As Sora’s Nobody
At the end of the first Kingdom Hearts, Sora learns that Kairi’s heart is inside his body, and he needs to find a way to free it so that she can be whole again. Selfless as he is, Sora sacrifices himself and becomes a Heartless so that Kairi’s heart can be free. In the brief time that Sora is a Heartless, his Nobody is created — Roxas.
Now, we already know that Ventus’ heart was residing inside Sora at this time. Ventus’ presence inside Sora influenced how Roxas looked, making him take Ventus’ appearance, rather than Sora’s. A second heart being present during the making of a Nobody is unusual, and as a result, Roxas was als𝐆o born with emotions, unlike the other Nobodies.
There are some s🌺light differences between howꦺ Roxas and Ventus look, though. Roxas has slightly darker hair than Ventus, which is perhaps the influence of Sora’s brunette hair colour.
…So Why Does Vanitas Look Like Sora?
If Ventus and Roxas looking alike wasn’t enough, there’s also the quest♋ion of why Vanitas ✤and Sora look so alike. The explanation is rather similar.
When Xehanort separated the light and darkness of Ventus’ heart, Vanitas didn’t initially have a human form. It was simply darkness. But when Ventus’ heart reached Sora’s, they formed a connection. Sora’s heart influenced the form of the darkness from Ventus’ heart, unintentionally creating Vanitas in his image.
