    Oh lord, where to begin...

    So being physically transported to an area you can interact in doesn't constitute as a place. Donald and Goofy even say he vanished. When Xemnas took Sora to the Other Memory Skyscraper, Sora still physically vanished.

    This has got to be the weakest garbage that you've pulled in this entire debate. KH is never said to not to be [infinitely many different things] either, so you really don't get anywhere by saying this. Because we are told what KH IS, we are told at the same time everything that it is NOT.
    Heart of Worlds, where hearts gather, Proof of Life... oh yeah these define KH so well and tells us everything it can and can't be.

    Seriously, I can't believe you're saying that KH is a world by using "well nothing says I'm wrong." It's just too bad that if you've got nothing to say that you're right either.
    Funny, I can say the same thing about your argument.

    What a completely made up and baseless line that's only supported by your own, unsupported claims.
    Like your baseless claim is any better? Mine explains what happened to KHoM after Xemnas is defeated, Xemnas' dialogue supports my idea since he is speaking to KHoM directly in a manner that only suits the context of the situation for KHoM, and why we never see Xemnas summon KHoW. You say he magically did all this cause KH could only be in the Realm of Darkness.

    Just because its ruined doesn't mean it can't have a use or be salvaged for other goals. It just means he can't use it for its original intention.
    ru·in


    1. Total destruction or disintegration, either physical, moral, social, or economic.
    2. A cause of total destruction.

      1. The act of destroying totally.

    From dictionary.com

    Seriously, the "totally" part of destroyed is almost always included in the definition of "ruined."
    This is one of my favorite parts...

    Dictionary.com

    ru⋅in

    –noun
    1. ruins, the remains of a building, city, etc., that has been destroyed or that is in disrepair or a state of decay: We visited the ruins of ancient Greece.
    2. a destroyed or decayed building, town, etc.
    3. a fallen, wrecked, or decayed condition: The building fell to ruin.
    4. the downfall, decay, or destruction of anything.
    5. the complete loss of health, means, position, hope, or the like.
    Notice this is the first set of definitions as opposed to the the third you chose. Notice how your set of definitions are a bit different from the rest. I love how you completely ignore the other definitions and only mention the one that supports your theory and treat it like its the only true definition for the word.

    The other problem with your argument is that a person can say they "ruined a cake" but that does not mean the cake is "completely destroyed". Its still there and it can still be eaten, its just not going to taste very good if at all. We actually see the remains of KHoM so its far from "completely destroyed" since it should have been wiped from existence had it truly been. Yet there it is at the Altar of Naught...


    What's to say Xemnas only redirected them to him in TWTNW? Hearts gather in Darkness yes, but that doesn't mean they specifically go to the Realm of Darkness
    TWNTW = In-between, thus it =/= "Darkness"
    Realm of Darkness = Darkness
    But Darkness exists in the Realm of light as well. Hollow Bastion was plunged into Darkness by Xehanort and the End of the World (which is not an official In-Between world) also appears to be a heavily influenced by darkness. Besides, you ignore my first statement which is whether Xemnas gathered them to him. If Hearts return to Darkness and from Nomura has said about the Worlds In Between, would that not suggest Hearts would have to travel through TWTNW even if through a Dark Corridor?

    If he's strong enough or has the means to gather them, whose to say he needs to have KH in the Realm of Darkness. We only assume cause KHoW is in the Realm of Darkness and Saix said hearts return to darkness.

    and if they did, Xemnas could easily just stop them from passing into the realm. If he's calling the hearts to him, why let them travel to the Realm of Darkness in the first place?
    "Why?" doesn't really matter because you still have got nothing that says he pulled the hearts to TWTNW.
    Just like you have really nothing on him pulling KHoW from the Realm of Darkness.

    Besides, if Xemnas could pull KH of worlds from the Realm of Darkness, why bother making the KH of Men now?
    Because he used the KH of men to do so.
    Wait a minute... now you are just going into circular reasoning at this point. He can't use KHoM cause by your words its "completely destroyed" but he can use its power (which you say is "completely destroyed") to summon KHoW to him?


    He could have easily turned himself into a near god by bringing KH of Worlds to him, release the Heartless into the Realm of Light, absorb all the hearts that the Keyblade wielders set free if not even being strong enough to reduce everything to heart if its within his power and gone on with his plan of remaking the universe.
    Your hypothetical is meaningless when compared to what actually happened.
    Except you have no evidence to say he couldn't do it before but then you say he needed KHoM to summon it, yet you say it was "completely destroyed" by Ansem which by your definition means he couldn't use it. Am I the only one who sees the paradox of your reasoning?

    Your "theory" on the end game events do not any make sense from this perspective. If he had the power to do it himself, why bother going through the whole business of making an artificial KH? He could have absorbed KH ten years ago and be god by now.
    He needed to KH of men to get to get the KH of worlds, because it's an alternate way from using the DTD.
    Except its supposedly "completely destroyed" and yet he still summons KHoW with it...

    Its treated as a World in KH1
    No it isn't. Tell me, what is it called then?
    How is it not a world? Traverse Town has the same origins as the End of the World and its a World so why can End of the World not be?

    who is to say this isn't?
    Because there's nothing that says it IS.
    Which is the same baseless argument I'm making in reverse...

    Its obvious the term "World" in KH is ill defined.
    No it isn't. Even if it was, it doesn't give you the right to call whatever you want as a world.
    Its true I don't have a right, but neither do you have the right to say what is a world and what is not. Especially when the worlds in question exist in a gray area.

    Bringing it to him is also ridiculous and implausible. It never happened.
    KH is in the Realm of Darkness as said by the game. Xemnas never went to the Realm of Darkness. Therefore, KH went to him. Just because you don't like HOW it happened doesn't mean that it DIDN'T happen.
    But we never see it come to him, we only see him merge with KHoM. We never even get to see KHoW so how do we know he merged with it?


    Except there is no proof...
    Except that the game says KH is in the Realm of Darkness, and since Xemnas didn't go to the Realm of Darkness, there's only one choice left.
    Or you can accept that "Ruin" doesn't absolutely mean "complete destruction" thus Xemnas absorbed a broken KHoM which would explain how he lost.

    He never summons the KH of Worlds though, he becomes one with his "ruined" KH and gets his ass kicked.
    He becomes one with a "completely destroyed" KH?
    Yeah, cause ruin doesn't always mean "completely destroyed". Course I guess he needs that "completely destroyed" KHoM to summon KHoW to him

    We actually don't know if KH is a world or not, its not defined as a world but its barely defined at all except for being a collection of hearts.
    It's not "barely defined" just because it doesn't fit your definition. That's like saying "KH isn't defined as a Heartless, so therefore it might be a Heartless." By telling us what it is, at the same time, we are told everything that it is ISN'T.
    Once again, "Heart of All Worlds" and "Proof of Life" do not offer any information on what KH could physically be like. The first definition works to say what it is, but what about the second? Worlds are hardly dead or not-life since they too have Hearts.


    We barely know anything about it to make proclamations like "its not a world". No one in the story has been to the true KH so we don't know what KH is actually like. We only have to go on Ansem and Xehnort's research as well as what King Mickey has said.
    Your entire argument of KH being a world is now basically reduced to a hypothetical, a possibility, based only on "well nothing says I'm wrong!"
    And your is basically, "they never said it was". Even though such information might not be important at this time in the series. So why bother mentioning it.


    Oh yeah... Mickey's been fighting them Heartless for the last ten years. Seeing as he didn't realize they were invading the Realm of Light until the start of KH1.
    For smurf's sake, Mickey knew the Heartless were invading since BBS. Hell, the Ansem Reports of KH1 even mention him talking about the worlds being consumed by darkness with Xehanort.
    No, the Ansem Reports only say that Mickey visited and told Ansem about the Keyblade and made him aware of the Gummi Blocks. (Ansem Report 9 and Secret Ansem Report 2).

    We don't even know if the Heartless first appear in BBS or if anyone was aware of their danger at that time. Even Ansem the Wise was not aware of how bad things had gotten until he read the Secret Ansem reports.

    They spoke about the stability of the world and worried about the Heartless but Mickey says he only noticed worlds were disappearing in his letter to Donald and Goofy, which seems to have been given to them at the start of KH1, nearly ten years later. We don't know what Mickey has been doing in this ten year period. We know he trained with Yen Sid and may have got caught up in the events of BBS, we know he met with Ansem the Wise sometime around this time. We know he hasn't been gone for very long from Disney Castle when KH1 began.

    If Mickey did not travel extensively in this time frame, he would have had little contact with the Heartless, especially since the Pillar of Light protects Disney Castle from the Heartless.

    Mickey's absence in KH1 was said by Nomura in the Secret Director's Report to take place mostly in the Realm of Darkness. If was wiping out Heartless, it would stand to reason they would go to KHoW rather than KHoM or just be turned back into Heartless.
    You are assuming there were others. Yes, we get 6 more (for now) in BBS but they are not fighting Heartless and no one knows if they got a fairy tale ending in BBS.
    I'm assuming there are others because we only see a few thousand keyblades when TAV fight MX and Vanitas. Obviously, tons of keyblades exist, it's not unreasonable to think that there can also be tons of Keyblade wielders too.
    Yes, but its unreasonable to think they would not be aware of the events going on in KH1 and 2. Especially since the Heartless are attracted to the Keyblades. They are either hiding their Keyblades to protect themselves from the Heartless of Nobodies or are quite possible killed. Had others existed, I cannot see why Org XIII wouldn't be utilizing them like they did Roxas and Sora.


    Even if there were more Keyblade wielders than we are aware of, the situations in KH1 and 2 are extreme enough you would think they would have made themselves known.
    Mickey didn't make himself known. Nobody in KH1 knew he wielded a Keyblade.
    Except when he reveals it in the ending with the Kingdom Key of D.

    If they were unaware, they stayed in their own worlds and thus had a much more limited contribution to Xemnas' plan.
    It doesn't matter where you kill Heartless, just that you kill Heartless.
    But if guys are killing Heartless, you would think Org. XIII would know about it. They found Sora after all.

    It still stands that Roxas and Sora were imperative to their plan and the reason they were able to nearly complete it. Also, as TSoL said earlier, the KH of Men doesn't even appear in TWTNW until Roxas joined in 358/2 so I feel its safe to say they could not even begin their operation until the Kingdom Key appeared in Destiny Island.
    The only thing that proves is that he didn't begin to combine the hearts, not that there weren't any hearts.

    It also could prove he didn't have enough yet to start making it. There is no evidence to suggest he waited to start forming KHoM when Roxas joined cause he felt like it. It doesn't make logical sense to wait for a dedicated member to get you hearts before you start forming your artifical Kingdom Hearts. It instead suggest they didn't have enough Hearts yet.

    This is assuming the Realm of Darkness works like the Realm of Light...
    At least I have the Realm of Light to base what I believe. Yours is just "well we don't know, so therefore we can assume it's done the way I say without any proof needed at all."

    We get two looks into the Realm of Darkness, one is a luminescent cave filled with Heartless, the other is a vast dark ocean. Its a world where KHoW resides with the Heartless and despite the Heartless' goal of consuming KH, they don't.

    Even if the Realm of Darkness did work exactly like the Realm of Light, once again, what is stopping all the villains from just going to the Realm of Darkness and looking for KHoW on their own? Sora was able to explore a decent section of the Realm of Light and all of the Realm of In-Between in the span of little over a year. Who is to say that KHoW wouldn't be found in the ten year period the villains were around. Its not like they don't have manpower and are inept to do so.


    Which is why they should not have wasted their time gathering Princess' and Hearts when they could just travel to KH.
    Because they can't Dark Corridor themselves directly to KH, because they don't know where it is. That's why Maleficent said that the Princesses will reveal its location.
    I don't mean Dark Corridor directly, they should have had ample time to explore the Realm of Darkness in 10 years. By not even bothering with the Realm of Light, they could have all achieved their goals with no pesky Keyblade wielder to thwart their plans. Besides, Mickey found KHoW. He's right there when the DTD is open in the Realm of Darkness.

    I mean, Mickey found Kingdom Key D in the Realm of Darkness and in very little time, why not find KH in the span of 10 years?
    How does this even matter? It took Mickey the same amount of time as it took the villains of KH1.
    Mickey doesn't have the Kingdom Key of D in BBS, we know Mickey went into the Realm of Darkness at the start of KH1 to find the key so he and Sora could seal the DTD.

    Then enlighten us all on where you were and where the DTD appeared.
    Well, you know that you were very close to the Realm of Darkness, but not actually in the Realm of Darkness. That's it.
    As opposed to, we went to the End of the World, we met Ansem at the End of the World, we fought Ansem at the End of the World, and suddenly during this grand battle everyone was magically transported to a place that was not part of the End of the World without anyone knowing it wasn't part of of the End of the World, even though there is nothing to say they didn't go to another part of End of the World where the DTD happened to be? This is basically the same debate as the nature of KH. You have nothing that suggests it isn't the End of the World but say it isn't because no one says it was specifically the End of the World. Despite the first area of the EoTW is called Gate to the Dark.


    Please use in-game and source material references to tell us how you came to this conclusion as well.
    You can't even provide stuff that says that Sora was still in EotW.
    I just did a better one than you. You went to EoTW, you met Ansem there and you fought him and now where does your party remark about being transported away from there. You have nothing to suggest that the last area where you battle Ansem is not at the End of the World except "well they never said it was". How come when I make that argument its baseless conjecture but when you make, it its perfectly acceptable.

    No it isn't.
    Remember how the chart on the DSR had TWNTW listed as the closest to Darkness? Yeah...
    Yeah... Remember how it also said the Dark Beach was the actual border between the Worlds of In-Between and and Realm of Darkness. We never see this beach anywhere near CTNW or anything close to the CTNW that could be considered an ocean. Worlds are larger than what we see you know. We only explored the Coliseum in Hercules world but in KHII we finally see Hades Realm. We only see the Castle of Hollow Bastion but in KH11 we have a town, and there is miles beyond it. I think its safe to assume we only see a part of the worlds not the whole thing. TWTNW is bordered to the Realm of Darkness, the actual dividing line is the Dark Beach. No one ever said the CTNW is near the border to the Realm of Darkness. For all we know, it could be located near the border to the World of Twilight Town.Especially considering you need to access a Dark Corridor from TT to reach the Dark City.

    Seeing as how the final battle with Xemnas starts with his Nobody Dragon Fortress breaking free a mile away from where KHoM was.
    The difference is that it has been stated many times that KH is indeed in the Realm of Darkness, whereas Dragon has nothing stated about it. But since we're going with "we never went to the Realm of Darkness" there's only one possibility left, that Dragon was in TWTNW.
    Except Xemnas was on the Dragon... so he apparently did have to go into the Realm of Darkness.

    The only official border between the In-Between Worlds and Realm of Darkness is the Dark Coastline. Not that and just a few yards above CTNW. Xemnas formed his KH in TWTNW. We don't even see such a place like the Dark Coastline near The Castle That Never Was or the Dark City
    No it isn't. The Dark Coastline is ON the border, but not the entire border. The DSR also says TWNTW is on the edge of Darkness as well.
    Yes the world is, but the world could be larger than we think, the Dark Coastline being nowhere near CTNW or the Dark city suggest. Its stated that the TWTNW is on the border but it never said anything about the CTNW being located on the border or edge of Darkness. Its most likely the center of the world.

    Sora and Riku have to travel through a Dark Corridor to reach it. This tells me its farther away than we think.
    Because they went there from the Realm of Nothing, and that's...an entirely different realm.
    Yeah... lets not complicate this anymore.


    But we never see this, you are just assuming he did.
    What the hell? One of the videos you showed me did indeed show Xemnas being in TWTNW, right in front of KH.
    But you never see him summon KHoW top TWTNW. He's talking to and being enveloped by the KHoM. When did he summon KHoW to TWTNW when we never see him actually do it?

    He could have easily just made KH in his own world and merged with its broken remains... Which is what 99% of the KH community believes.
    Merging with something "completely destroyed"?
    Well it must have some power if Xemnas used it to summon KHoW to him.


    Also, lol at the fake statistic.
    I've spoken to a lot of KH fans and you are the first one to come up with this scenario of how the ending happened in KHII. Fan sites or official sites never state anything about Xemnas summoning and merging with KHoW.

    I have never once seen a reference or interpretation from any source that says what you think happen as being true.
    Let's see:
    The game says KH is in the Realm of Darkness.
    Saix said the KH of Men was forming in the Realm of Darkness.
    Xemnas didn't go to the Realm of Darkness, yet still got KH while he was in TWTNW.
    Saix said Hearts form KH in Darkness when left to their own devices. I don't think that constitutes as a direct reference to KHoM was forming in the Realm of Darkness, especially since we know Org.XIII was responsible for the gathering of hearts there.

    Xemnas never entered the Realm of Dark cause KHoM was in TWTNW.

    By waiting for another Keyblade Master that took 10 years...
    Dude, we see Mickey in BBS with a Keyblade.
    Once again, we don't know what Mickey was doing during that whole time and once again, Xemnas doesn't bother forming KHoM until Roxas joins the Organization in 358/2


    He didn't bring it to himself either. He just merged with his broken one in TWTNW.
    "Merging with something 'completely destroyed'"
    Cause ruin obviously only has one actual definition. The other definitions there don't mean anything cause they don't support my theory.

    But at the same time, he uses this "completely destroyed KHoM" to summon KHoW.

    We don't even know how he does this, for all we know he has a machine that is doing this or even The Castle That Never Was could be the antenna that attracts the Heartless. You are assuming this is caused by his power when there are other likely scenarios.
    But you're not denying that he DID do it. And no matter HOW he did it, all that matters is that it DID happen, meaning he can indeed affect hearts across different realms. Whether by his own power or something else doesn't matter. But it isn't hard to believe that it was his own power, what with that one scene in KH2 showing him actually clustering the Hearts and the fact that Nomura says Xemnas is the most powerful person in KH so far (even before he absorbed KH).
    Yet I find it hard to believe that a person with such strength could fall to Sora and the others even after supposedly summoning KHoW and absorbing its power. He even gets Riku and Sora by themselves and still loses. He may be powerful but I feel you are giving him greater credit than he actually deserves. His god mode either really sucks or he never obtained the level of power some people believe he did.

    Til you can give in-game proof he's directly gathering the Hearts your argument is still on really shaky ground.
    It really isn't shaky at all, since your entire argument against it is "the game doesn't directly tell you that you're right."
    Like yours is any better. KHoW exists in the Realm of Darkness, Saix said KHoM is forming in the realm of darkness (which he never said) thus it has to be there despite Xemnas walking up to it and touching it and absorbing its "completely destroyed" power to summon the real KHoW which never actually appeared.


    “like a moon that floats in the World that Never Was.” You can't beat evidence from both the creator and the scenario writer (the hack he is).
    Hey, I can easily do what you're doing too.

    "like a moon that floats in the World that Never Was."

    "Like" as in, similar to, but not exactly [in TWTNW]. Destiny Islands is "like" a star that floats above Traverse Town. Yen Sid's Tower is "like" a train ride away from Twilight Town. The reality is though, DI and Traverse Town are separate, and so is YST and Twilight Town. And so is KH and TWNTW.
    Definition of Like. Like Definition | Definition of Like at Dictionary.com


    1. 1. of the same form, appearance, kind, character, amount, etc.: I cannot remember a like instance.
    2. 2. corresponding or agreeing in general or in some noticeable respect; similar; analogous: drawing, painting, and like arts.
    3. 3. bearing resemblance.
    4. 4. Dialect. likely: 'Tis like that he's gone mad.
    5. 5. Dialect. about: The poor chap seemed like to run away.

    Read the other definitions, if you want. It just defines it as bearing similarities to it but not being it, it looks "like" a moon as in resembles not that its treated like one. Nomura and Nojima said KHoM is "in" TWTNW. Just because it resembles a moon does not mean it actually positioned like a moon. Planets look like stars in the night sky without a telescope but it hardly means they are the same distance.

    "In" on the other hand...

    1. 1. (used to indicate inclusion within space, a place, or limits): walking in the park.
    2. 13. in possession or occupancy
    3. 19. located or situated within; inner; internal: the in part of a mechanism.
    4. Within the limits, bounds, or area of: was hit in the face; born in the spring; a chair in the garden.
    5. Within a place, as of business or residence: The manager is in before anyone else.
    6. So as to include or incorporate: Fold in the egg whites
    7. Located inside; inner.

    So yeah, Nojima and Nomura have suggest KHoM doesn't work with the same rules as KHoW. Since we have a KH "in" a World of In-Between. It was artificially created so it does make sense that it wouldn't need to follow the same rules of a true KH.


    As for Saix's speech, he only says Hearts gather in Darkness he never said the Dark Realm.
    He sure doesn't mean "TWTNW" when he says darkness. But again, you'd have to be pretty close minded to think that Darkness =/= Realm of Darkness.
    All I'm suggesting is that darkness doesn't mean Realm of Darkness exclusively.


    Since KHoM is in TWTNW, it is highly unlikely that Xemnas has the power to summon KHoW from the Dark Realm cause once agin, if he had that power, why bother with Org XIII?
    Because he used OrgXIII to create the KH of Men, which he used to summon the KH of Worlds.
    Which is apparently "completely destroyed" again? I wish you would get your story straight.

    Especially since we don't have any proof it was his power alone that summoned the Hearts to his world.
    After all other Org members were dead, after Ansem blew up his KH of Men, he told Sora and gang to get more hearts for him. Had they actually did go collect more hearts for him, he implied that he could still use the hearts that they could've collected, when the rest of the Org was dead.

    You're getting nowhere with this "no proof" stuff.
    He could be suing a machine as well. I mean seriously. Xemnas has the power to collect hearts which is shown in the series, but we never see him collect the massive amounts of heart you are talking about. Once again, he may be using a device, or Nobodies, or other means to gather the many Heartless, you have no evidence to suggest bringing together all the hearts and forming KHoM was done by him without some form of aid. Its not like we get to see pull a few million hearts out of a world at once.

    If he had the pure power to do this by himself, once again, why would he need Org XIII?

    Yeah, he could absorb his broken one. He might not be a god but it could be more than enough to beat a bunch of kids with Keyblades and a talking rat, dog, and duck.
    Absorb something that he said was "completely destroyed?" Wat.
    Cause he can't absorb it and become a demi-god, its "completely destroyed" that would be silly, now using it to summon KHoW to him makes so much more sense since its "completely destroyed".

    Especially since his KHoM disappears after his first defeat from the party which is a pretty good hint to what really happened.
    The KHoM was completely destroyed by Ansem, though. As said by Xemnas himself. That was the KHoW that disappeared.
    No it isn't. Ansem blast a whole into it and its hearts start to fall out. The KH at the top of the Altar of Naught has a hole in it and is completely unstable. He also looks at it and says "its ruined" and then begins to talk with it. Its still the KHoM. It never changes except for its size between Ansem damaging it and Xemnas absorbing it and this makes perfect sense cause we saw all those hearts spill out.

    If he summoned KHoW, you would think we would have gotten a light show or something cause obviously summoning the McGuffin of the game is a big deal.

    Yeah, Darkness, not Realm of Darkness, not that the End of the World, Hollow Bastion, and TWTNW don't count as worlds that have a powerful influence of Darkness.
    TWTNW isn't darkness. The Realm of Darkness is Darkness.
    I used my words carefully, I said it had an influence of darkness it doesn't mean it is darkness.

    Everything you mentioned except TWTNW can be easily crossed off, since we know and see that the answers aren't even remotely close to everything else, based on what we see in the game. So you're left with:

    Some in-between world = Darkness
    and
    The Realm of Darkness = Darkness

    Yeah, kinda easy to tell who's got the better one here. Even if what I say isn't 100% certain, it's still undoubtedly better than yours.
    Except Nojima and Nomura say its "in" TWTNW so yeah, I'd say I have the more canonical argument here.

    This one very vague line is pretty lousy proof of anything.
    Only if you don't bother paying attention to what actually happens in the game and the rest of what he says. Just because something isn't directly said about something, does not make it lousy.
    So since KH isn't directly said to be a world or not, its now no longer a lousy argument? I love this "Do as I say, Not as I do" theory of arguing.


    Nomura and Nojima agree with me.
    Not really. "Like" =/= total agreement.
    Like = similar not total agreement
    In = located or situated within among other meaning that mean KHoM is actually located in TWTNW

    I don't think you can get any clearer than that.

    Um... no. Traverse Town is a completely different world from Destiny Island and not anywhere close to it.
    The point is, you're saying that you can see KH from TWNTW as a moon, but you can also see DI as star from TT. Yet DI and TT are separate, so is KH and TWTNW. I'm talking about when Donald says "Look! A star/DI went out!" What you thought wasn't even close.
    Once again, like mainly deals with appearance not properties. Just because KHoM lloks like the moon doesn't mean it follows any of the same properties. This also does not change the fact that its in the world. Even if it was located the same distance as the moon for this world as ours, its still doesn't mean its outside of the world. Especially since we don't see any other worlds working like our solar system. The Winnie the Pooh World alone proves you can have a sun and moon and both are actually part of the world. You have not proven anything.

    No, he actually says they do it themselves. He never said Xemnas was responsible.
    I can say that thread weaves together to form clothing, but that doesn't mean that it does it by itself. Xemnas being responsible is painfully obvious with that one scene where you see him clustering the hearts together.
    What part of masterless and free did you miss in his speech? He's talking about the nature of hearts not Xemnas mad weaving skills.


    Once again, its not enough power to achieve his goal, it doesn't mean its was useless.
    "Something completely destroyed isn't useless at all!"
    Yes, cause it can be used to summon KHoW off screen!

    KHoM is still swirling with power as he makes this declaration. His plans are ruined but it doesn't mean KHoM was useless for something else.
    KHoW is swirling with power, KHoM was completely destroyed and useless.
    Only enough to screw over his goal of world domination. The thing still has some juice
    "I don't know what completely destroyed means!"
    I don't recognize that words have more than one definition and how each of them can actually be applicable.

    watch swirling power emanating from the KHoM in the videos I unlinked. When he asks for help, both him and the KHoM are being enveloped together with power coming from KHoM. His whole dialogue is him pleading with the KHoM to give him power in exchange for him giving it more hearts.
    Sorry, but KHoM was completely destroyed. But if you replace every KHoM with KHoW, you've got a true statement.
    Except I know better, and pay attention in most cutscenes.

    The last line is interesting to note cause how is Sora and Co. a hindrance to KHoW? Obviously he is talking to the broken KHoM which was hindered by Ansem and Co.
    "Hinder us" means that Sora and gang were going to kill Xemnas so that he couldn't merge, not that they were going to destroy KHoW. How can you not get something that simple?
    Sorry, I missed the part where "us" only meant Xemnas. Its a plural form of a pronoun usually used to signify more than one person so unless Xemnas treats his body and soul as separate entities its obvious he's including KH (which he's talking to) into his entourage. This dialogue just further proves he's speaking to KHoM.

    His entire dialogue with KH is directed right at KHoM which he is facing. KHoM disappears after he is defeated by Sora and Co. the first time. How more obvious do you need to be to say he absorbed KHoM?
    The KHoM was completely destroyed by Ansem. Xemnas even admitted that the KHoM was completely destroyed. How more obvious do you need to be to say that KHoM was gone?
    Except you are misinterpreting the definition of ruin and suggesting it only has one meaning despite the physical evidence shown in the game suggesting that its other definitions are much better suited.. KHoM gets hole blown into it. KH at top of CTNW has hole in it. They look exactly the same except for size after the damage.

    Which would be completely retarded to say if he actually absorbed KHoW cause he would technically have the power that is the foundation of the universe of KH. You would think he wouldn't need KHoM at that point.
    But there's 2 KH's. How is it retarded to want all and not just half? Just cause you don't like it, doesn't mean it's wrong.
    But he could easily make the KHoH by absorbing the power of KHoW within a terribly short amount of time. Meaning he would never had needed KHoM to be complete cause all he would need is enough power to summon KHoW to him. Then he could create the other with little effort. This is a terribly illogical not to do.
    Because it defeats the entire purpose of making KHoM...
    The purpose of KHoM was to get KHoW, which he managed to do; Ansem was too late.
    Accept he wouldn't be crying around about KHoM being 'completely destroyed" if he did. He would have announced he summoned KHoW, and would have flatten the party and gone off to subjegate the world and make himself even stronger. By you theory, Xemnas is not only an idiot but a a whiny crybaby.

    Besides, he couldn't use the Dark Corridors to gather the Hearts since those passage ways can corrupt Hearts. They should all be turning into Heartless due to the corruptible nature of the CoD.
    You missed the part where they corrupt hearts after "extended use."
    When dealing with people traveling through them. Nothing ever talked about the effects on a lone heart without a shell.

    We don't even know how Hearts travel when they are free from a Heartless.
    We see the the hearts disappear during that scene with Saix in Hollow Bastion. The only person who doesn't seem to know anything is you.
    You mean when they appear above the heartless and disappear in thin air. Yeah, they leave but its never said to be a Dark Corridor it doesn't even vanish like a normal person does when using the Dark Corridor.

    For all we know, they travel through another path unique to them to return to their original body.
    ...but they weren't. Because Xemnas was controlling the path of the hearts.
    Beginning in 358/2 but what about before that? Like when the Worlds are restored at the end of KH1.

    Oh lord, where to begin...


    You really should quit while you're behind.

    Heart of Worlds, where hearts gather, Proof of Life... oh yeah these define KH so well and tells us everything it can and can't be.


    Notice how none of those even suggest "world." You're only saying "well it could be a world because there's nothing that says it isn't." Remember my other example? It also doesn't define KH as a Heartless, the same way it doesn't define it as a World.

    Funny, I can say the same thing about your argument.
    You're not able to at all. You made the claim, thus you need to back it up first, or it automatically fails.

    Like your baseless claim is any better?
    At least I'm not the one that's using nearly all of my argument on just calling doubt to the other person's points while the rest of my argument also uses not 100% correct points.

    Mine explains what happened to KHoM after Xemnas is defeated


    Mine explains what happened to KHoW after Xemnas is defeated.

    Xemnas' dialogue supports my idea since he is speaking to KHoM directly in a manner that only suits the context of the situation for KHoM
    But it doesn't, refer to the whole "completely" deal.

    and why we never see Xemnas summon KHoW.


    We do see him do so, regardless of you ignoring what's right in front of your face.

    You say he magically did all this cause KH could only be in the Realm of Darkness.


    An KH is in the Realm of Darkness, according to the game.

    Notice this is the first set of definitions as opposed to the the third you chose.


    Notice how you're using the noun form of "ruin" as opposed to the verb form of ruin and "My Kingdom Hearts is ruined by Ansem."

    Notice how your set of definitions are a bit different from the rest.


    Notice how this doesn't stop me from being right, nor does it help you say that it definitely means "NOT completely destroyed."

    I love how you completely ignore the other definitions and only mention the one that supports your theory and treat it like its the only true definition for the word.


    Hypocrisy at its finest.

    The other problem with your argument is that a person can say they "ruined a cake" but that does not mean the cake is "completely destroyed". Its still there and it can still be eaten, its just not going to taste very good if at all.


    That's not using the word correctly then. I know that at least the word "destroyed" or a synonym is in the verb form of "ruined."

    We actually see the remains of KHoM so its far from "completely destroyed" since it should have been wiped from existence had it truly been. Yet there it is at the Altar of Naught...
    You see what's left from KHoW and KHoM being combined - KHoM...which = KHoW.

    Hollow Bastion was plunged into Darkness by Xehanort and the End of the World (which is not an official In-Between world) also appears to be a heavily influenced by darkness.


    This is KH2, not KH1 you know. Not that your point even matters, since you've said nothing here that says the hearts went to TWTNW.

    Besides, you ignore my first statement which is whether Xemnas gathered them to him.
    The answer to this is incredibly obvious that I shouldn't even have to bother.

    If Hearts return to Darkness, and from Nomura has said about the Worlds In Between would that not suggest Hearts would have to travel through TWTNW even if through a Dark Corridor?


    No, considering that Sora and friends managed to go from Hollow Bastion (Realm of Light) directly to the Realm of Darkness by Malef's Dark Corridor...

    If he's strong enough or has the means to gather them, whose to say he needs to have KH in the Realm of Darkness. We only assume cause KHoW is in the Realm of Darkness and Saix said hearts return to darkness.


    That's still two more reasons that my assumptions have than what your assumptions have...which are even more assumptions.

    Just like you have really nothing on him pulling KHoW from the Realm of Darkness.


    Because he fused with "KH" and there's only 1 KH left.

    Wait a minute... now you are just going into circular reasoning at this point.


    I was wondering when you'd try and accuse me of doing what you've been doing since your first few posts, and in every other post you made.

    He can't use KHoM cause by your words its "completely destroyed" but he can use its power (which you say is "completely destroyed") to summon KHoW to him?


    KHoW was already summoned to him before KHoM was destroyed. He didn't fuse with it until after fighting one-on-one with Sora though.

    Except you have no evidence to say he couldn't do it

    You're the one who propsed that hypothetical, you're the one that first needs to provide evidence that he could do it. If you can't, I don't need to do anything, because your hypothetical automatically fails in that case.

    but then you say he needed KHoM to summon it, yet you say it was "completely destroyed" by Ansem which by your definition means he couldn't use it.


    He was already able to use KHoM to summon KHoW to him before it was destroyed. But he couldn't use it to gain god powers.

    Except its supposedly "completely destroyed" and yet he still summons KHoW with it...


    Done before it was destroyed.

    How is it not a world? Traverse Town has the same origins as the End of the World and its a World so why can End of the World not be?


    I'm not talking about EoTW. The place where the DTD is, is not EoTW, it is a random nonworld place in the Realm of In-Between.

    Which is the same baseless argument I'm making in reverse...


    And like I said, this is the only thing you've got going for you that proves you're right, "because nothing says I'm wrong." But the problem is, since you made the claim that the random place in the Realm of Darkness is a world, you have to provide your own evidence first, and not just rely on "nothing proves me wrong." If you can't provide your own proof for your own claim, it automatically fails without me even needing to do anything.

    Its true I don't have a right, but neither do you have the right to say what is a world and what is not.


    Um...yeah I do. I can most definitely say a Heartless is NOT a World, and neither is a Keyblade, and neither is KH or a random place in the Realm of In-between. It's only you who can't decide whatever you want IS a world. Just like how you can't define a Heartless, Keyblade, KH, or a random place in the Realm of In between is a world.

    But we never see it come to him, we only see him merge with KHoM. We never even get to see KHoW so how do we know he merged with it?


    "KH of men completely destroyed, KH of World is in the Realm of Darkness, Xemnas didn't go to Realm of Darkness"

    Or you can accept that "Ruin" doesn't absolutely mean "complete destruction" thus Xemnas absorbed a broken KHoM which would explain how he lost.


    Or you can try learning paying attention to the correct form of verbs used in the game and that the verb form of ruin does include "completely destroyed."

    Yeah, cause ruin doesn't always mean "completely destroyed". Course I guess he needs that "completely destroyed" KHoM to summon KHoW to him
    Not when he succeeded in his goal before KHoM was destroyed.

    And your is basically, "they never said it was".
    See, here's the thing. You are the one who first brought up the claim that KH is a world. Thus, you need to provide proof for your own claims before I even have to do anything. If you've got no proof as I have said (i.e. "they never said it was") then your claim automatically fails. By using your logic that you can make correct claims without providing your own proof because nothing disproves your claims, children can claim their imaginary friends exist as well by simply saying to you "you can't prove me wrong." Unless you actually believe that those children are right, neither are you.

    No, the Ansem Reports only say that Mickey visited and told Ansem about the Keyblade and made him aware of the Gummi Blocks. (Ansem Report 9 and Secret Ansem Report 2).


    Gummi Blocks are made of the barriers around worlds. Guess what tore down those barriers? That's right, the Heartless!

    We don't even know if the Heartless first appear in BBS or if anyone was aware of their danger at that time. Even Ansem the Wise was not aware of how bad things had gotten until he read the Secret Ansem reports.


    He read the "Ansem Reports" ~10 years ago, before his apprentices became Nobodies. And he also wrote that his apprentices created Heartless in their labs.

    They spoke about the stability of the world and worried about the Heartless but Mickey says he only noticed worlds were disappearing in his letter to Donald and Goofy, which seems to have been given to them at the start of KH1, nearly ten years later.


    They only found it at the beginning of KH1, even though Mickey went to the Realm of Darkness much earlier.

    We know he hasn't been gone for very long from Disney Castle when KH1 began.


    Are you joking? He talked with Xehanort, and Xehanort was last seen alive 10 years before KH1.

    If Mickey did not travel extensively in this time frame, he would have had little contact with the Heartless, especially since the Pillar of Light protects Disney Castle from the Heartless.
    He's been to several worlds already. Several characters in worlds of KH1 know about him.

    Mickey's absence in KH1 was said by Nomura in the Secret Director's Report to take place mostly in the Realm of Darkness. If was wiping out Heartless, it would stand to reason they would go to KHoW rather than KHoM or just be turned back into Heartless.


    No, it wouldn't. Because we know that Xemnas was indeed re-directing hearts since ~BBS.

    Yes, but its unreasonable to think they would not be aware of the events going on in KH1 and 2. Especially since the Heartless are attracted to the Keyblades. They are either hiding their Keyblades to protect themselves from the Heartless of Nobodies or are quite possible killed. Had others existed, I cannot see why Org XIII wouldn't be utilizing them like they did Roxas and Sora.


    "Utilize Sora?" All they did was send Heartless at him for him to kill, and then re-direct the hearts, easily feasible with other Keybladers as well.

    Except when he reveals it in the ending with the Kingdom Key of D.


    So he made himself known to like, 5 people. Wow, major!

    But if guys are killing Heartless, you would think Org. XIII would know about it. They found Sora after all.


    ...because Sora formed Roxas.

    It also could prove he didn't have enough yet to start making it. There is no evidence to suggest he waited to start forming KHoM when Roxas joined cause he felt like it.


    You/TSOL first made the claim that they didn't have enough hearts, so therefore, you need to provide the evidence they did first, and not just "nothing says I'm wrong."

    It doesn't make logical sense to wait for a dedicated member to get you hearts before you start forming your artifical Kingdom Hearts. It instead suggest they didn't have enough Hearts yet.


    "I don't like how it actually happened, so it's wrong, and nothing says my claim is wrong."
    Even if the Realm of Darkness did work exactly like the Realm of Light, once again, what is stopping all the villains from just going to the Realm of Darkness and looking for KHoW on their own? Sora was able to explore a decent section of the Realm of Light and all of the Realm of In-Between in the span of little over a year.


    Because there's no way you can explore "a decent section" of an entire dimension.
    Its a world where KHoW resides with the Heartless and despite the Heartless' goal of consuming KH, they don't.
    Tell that to the Darksides that you see through the DTD.

    I don't mean Dark Corridor directly, they should have had ample time to explore the Realm of Darkness in 10 years. By not even bothering with the Realm of Light, they could have all achieved their goals with no pesky Keyblade wielder to thwart their plans. Besides, Mickey found KHoW. He's right there when the DTD is open in the Realm of Darkness.


    The villains don't have a Dark Realm Keyblade, though.

    Mickey doesn't have the Kingdom Key of D in BBS, we know Mickey went into the Realm of Darkness at the start of KH1 to find the key so he and Sora could seal the DTD.


    Mickey knew that the Worlds were being swallowed by darkness since he talked with Xehanort ~10 years before KH1, so he went to the Realm of Darkness.

    We get two looks into the Realm of Darkness, one is a luminescent cave filled with Heartless, the other is a vast dark ocean.


    That's still two more reasons that I have to support what I say than what you have.

    This is basically the same debate as the nature of KH. You have nothing that suggests it isn't the End of the World but say it isn't because no one says it was specifically the End of the World.


    You're the one who first made the claim that it's in EotW, yet you've got nothing except "you can't prove me wrong" as the only thing going for you. Because you're the one that first made the claim, and because you can't provide any proof, your claim automatically fails.

    How come when I make that argument its baseless conjecture but when you make, it its perfectly acceptable.


    Because you first made the claim that it's in EotW, thus you have to provide the proof for your own claim. The claim that I made in response to your original claim is right because your claim automatically fails because you couldn't first provide your own evidence. Any claim that's made (that isn't a negative statement with some form of "not") needs proof first, or the opposite claim is automatically true.

    Yeah... Remember how it also said the Dark Beach was the actual border between the Worlds of In-Between and and Realm of Darkness.


    ...for that particular world, where the Dark Beach was.

    TWTNW is bordered to the Realm of Darkness, the actual dividing line is the Dark Beach.


    The Dark Beach is only the border for that world that it's located in.

    Except Xemnas was on the Dragon... so he apparently did have to go into the Realm of Darkness.


    Except Dragon was in TWNTW, not the Realm of Darkness.

    Yes the world is, but the world could be larger than we think, the Dark Coastline being nowhere near CTNW or the Dark city suggest.


    Again, the world of the Dark Beach is separate from TWTNW and the Dark Beach is only the border for that particular world.

    But you never see him summon KHoW top TWTNW.


    ...before Ansem destroyed the KHoM. You never see Xemnas personally re-directing hearts that Roxas and Sora released either, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

    He's talking to and being enveloped by the KHoM.

    The comepletely destroyed KHoM?
    Well it must have some power if Xemnas used it to summon KHoW to him.
    Which happens before it was destroyed.

    I've spoken to a lot of KH fans and you are the first one to come up with this scenario of how the ending happened in KHII. Fan sites or official sites never state anything about Xemnas summoning and merging with KHoW.
    Which lets you make up anything you want, am I right?

    Saix said Hearts form KH in Darkness when left to their own devices. I don't think that constitutes as a direct reference to KHoM was forming in the Realm of Darkness, especially since we know Org.XIII was responsible for the gathering of hearts there.
    Not even close to what Saix actually said. When hearts are left alone, they go back to their original bodies, wherever they may be.

    Xemnas never entered the Realm of Dark cause KHoM was in TWTNW.
    No, because KHoW was there as a result of KHoM before it was destroyed.

    Once again, we don't know what Mickey was doing during that whole time and once again, Xemnas doesn't bother forming KHoM until Roxas joins the Organization in 358/2
    Mickey was fighting Heartless in the Realm of Darkness, because he knew the Heartless were destroying worlds, Xemnas still began collecting hearts since BBS.
    Cause ruin obviously only has one actual definition. The other definitions there don't mean anything cause they don't support my theory.
    It's funny how you're accusing me of the exact same thing that you're doing.
    But at the same time, he uses this "completely destroyed KHoM" to summon KHoW.
    ...which was already there for him to merge with.
    Yet I find it hard to believe that a person with such strength could fall to Sora and the others even after supposedly summoning KHoW and absorbing its power.
    ...because Sora and Riku are also among the top most powerful people in KH, and they outnumbered Xemnas?
    He may be powerful but I feel you are giving him greater credit than he actually deserves.
    That's just what Nomura said.
    His god mode either really sucks or he never obtained the level of power some people believe he did.
    He was still outnumbered by two other top most powerful people in KH.
    Like yours is any better. KHoW exists in the Realm of Darkness, Saix said KHoM is forming in the realm of darkness (which he never said)
    It certainly wasn't TWTNW that Saix was talking about, leaving only one choice.

    thus it has to be there despite Xemnas walking up to it and touching it
    Now I know you're making things up.
    and absorbing its "completely destroyed" power to summon the real KHoW which never actually appeared.
    He didn't absorb it, KHoW was summoned before "completely destroyed," which did happen.

    Read the other definitions, if you want. It just defines it as bearing similarities to it but not being it, it looks "like" a moon as in resembles not that its treated like one. Nomura and Nojima said KHoM is "in" TWTNW.
    "Like" applies to everything in the sentence afterward, including "in." Check out how the quotation marks don't just end at "moon."

    Read as: "It's similar to being in TWTNW" (but not exactly in TWTNW). "Like" doesn't only apply to "a moon".

    Just because it resembles a moon does not mean it actually positioned like a moon. Planets look like stars in the night sky without a telescope but it hardly means they are the same distance.
    That's not the point.

    "Like":
    "a moon in TWTNW"
    "a star in Traverse Town"
    "a train stop in Twilight Town"

    All of these things are "similar" to being "in" their corresponding worlds, but that is not actually the case, because they are separate.

    All I'm suggesting is that darkness doesn't mean Realm of Darkness exclusively.
    Since you see where the hearts are gathered, choices such as EotW and "Heartless" are completely crossed off. The only things left are TWTNW and the Realm of Darkness. It's not hard to guess which one is more likely, basically assuredly, mean "darkness."
    Which is apparently "completely destroyed" again? I wish you would get your story straight.
    Read as: "before completely destroyed"

    you have no evidence to suggest bringing together all the hearts and forming KHoM was done by him without some form of aid.
    I really don't even need any evidence. You're the one who first brought up a claim, that he needed aid, which you've yet to provide your own proof for except "you can't prove me wrong!"

    Just like a kid saying that his imaginary friend exists without proof automatically fails, the same goes for you making a claim without also providing your own proof.

    Its not like we get to see pull a few million hearts out of a world at once.
    We didn't actually see DiZ infiltrate The Castle that Never Was, therefore it didn't happen, right? lol

    If he had the pure power to do this by himself, once again, why would he need Org XIII?
    Uh...faster? Durrrr

    Cause he can't absorb it and become a demi-god, its "completely destroyed" that would be silly, now using it to summon KHoW to him makes so much more sense since its "completely destroyed".
    "Before completely destroyed"

    No it isn't. Ansem blast a whole into it and its hearts start to fall out. The KH at the top of the Altar of Naught has a hole in it and is completely unstable.
    Because it's missing 1 KHoM.

    He also looks at it and says "its ruined" and then begins to talk with it. Its still the KHoM.
    Yeah, he's still talking about it. About how it's completely destroyed.

    It never changes except for its size between Ansem damaging it and Xemnas absorbing it and this makes perfect sense cause we saw all those hearts spill out.
    When things combine, they don't necessarily become bigger. Roxas didn't cause Sora to become bigger when he combined with him.
    If he summoned KHoW, you would think we would have gotten a light show or something cause obviously summoning the McGuffin of the game is a big deal.
    "Because I don't like how it happened, it's false!"

    I used my words carefully, I said it had an influence of darkness it doesn't mean it is darkness.
    I must have missed the part where Saix said "influence" then.
    Except Nojima and Nomura say its "in" TWTNW so yeah, I'd say I have the more canonical argument here.
    Except Nojima and Nomura say its "like" its "in" TWTNW. If anything, what you said only helped me.

    So since KH isn't directly said to be a world or not, its now no longer a lousy argument? I love this "Do as I say, Not as I do" theory of arguing.
    By your logic, everything is lousy because it's not directly said to be something else. "A Keyblade isn't directly said to be a Heartless, therefore saying a Keyblade isn't a Heartless is a lousy argument!"
    Like = similar not total agreement
    In = located or situated within among other meaning that mean KHoM is actually located in TWTNW

    I don't think you can get any clearer than that.
    You forgot to combine "like" and "in."
    Once again, like mainly deals with appearance not properties.
    http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b8...5308244371.jpg
    Just because KHoM lloks like the moon doesn't mean it follows any of the same properties. This also does not change the fact that its in the world.
    DI being a star to TT is almost exactly the same concept as KH being a moon to TWTNW. Whether or not they follow the properties of celestial bodies doesn't even matter, DI and TT are clearly stated to be separate worlds. KH to TWTNW also applies, minus the KH being a world part.
    What part of masterless and free did you miss in his speech? He's talking about the nature of hearts not Xemnas mad weaving skills.
    He's talking about the fact that hearts are free without a body to go to, when someone gets turned into a heartless. He didn't mean "hearts are able to act on their own" at all, because they would be returning to their original bodies like the DSR states, not forming KH. I don't even see why you're bothering to argue this, you've already acknowledged that Xemnas did indeed control the hearts, and we actually see Xemnas weaving the hearts in KH2.
    Yes, cause it can be used to summon KHoW off screen!
    Yeah, because believe it or not, things DO happen off screen, that the player doesn't see.
    I don't recognize that words have more than one definition and how each of them can actually be applicable.
    Look who's talking.
    Except I know better, and pay attention in most cutscenes.
    How unfortunate that it doesn't help you come up with any of your own proof at all.

    Sorry, I missed the part where "us" only meant Xemnas. Its a plural form of a pronoun usually used to signify more than one person so unless Xemnas treats his body and soul as separate entities its obvious he's including KH (which he's talking to) into his entourage. This dialogue just further proves he's speaking to KHoM.
    What he actually was saying was "hinder us [from becoming one]" and Xemnas dying would be a pretty darn good hindrance.

    Except you are misinterpreting the definition of ruin and suggesting it only has one meaning
    Except I and the game are not talking about ruin, the noun.

    despite the physical evidence shown in the game suggesting that its other definitions are much better suited..KHoM gets hole blown into it. KH at top of CTNW has hole in it. They look exactly the same except for size after the damage.
    ...despite that combining didn't change their size.

    But he could easily make the KHoH by absorbing the power of KHoW within a terribly short amount of time.
    Except he's missing at least a few million hearts for making the KHoM.

    Meaning he would never had needed KHoM to be complete cause all he would need is enough power to summon KHoW to him.
    Which is only 1 out of 2 KH's, which is only half the power he wanted.

    Then he could create the other with little effort. This is a terribly illogical not to do.
    Now you're assuming that he can create hearts. That's just about the most illogical thing I've ever heard.
    Accept he wouldn't be crying around about KHoM being 'completely destroyed" if he did. He would have announced he summoned KHoW
    Why wouldn't he? He just lost a major power source.

    and would have flatten the party and gone off to subjegate the world and make himself even stronger.
    That could be what he have done, except for the part where he failed at "flatten the party."
    By you theory, Xemnas is not only an idiot but a a whiny crybaby.
    He did try to flatten the party as you said. I'd be whining too if my 10 year plan of creating the KHoM got foiled by those meddling kids and their keyblade.
    When dealing with people traveling through them. Nothing ever talked about the effects on a lone heart without a shell.
    Nothing ever talked about there being a difference in heart corruptibility. But that still doesn't just give you the right to make up your own unquestionable claims based on "can't prove me wrong", like you've been doing for almost this entire debate.

    You mean when they appear above the heartless and disappear in thin air. Yeah, they leave but its never said to be a Dark Corridor
    Darkness surrounds the hearts, and then they are whisked off to another location. That's exactly what Dark Corridors do, darkness forms around the person, they disappear.

    it doesn't even vanish like a normal person does when using the Dark Corridor.
    In case you haven't noticed, there isn't one specific animation that occurs when someone uses a Dark Corridor. Org13/Riku/DiZ can form two different types of them. Maleficent has her own Dark Corridor. The Heartless and lower Nobodies also have their own Dark Corridors. Good job at paying attention to cutscenes, by the way.

    Try using something that isn't weak next time. Actually, I guess this is an improvement over "can't prove me wrong."

    never said to be
    Oh look, it's what you're basing every one of your claims off. "It's never said that I'm wrong, so I'm right."

    Beginning in 358/2 but what about before that? Like when the Worlds are restored at the end of KH1.
    Um, ya. Xemnas has known about Sora and kept tabs on him since KH1 when he fought with Sora in Hollow Bastion.

    358/2 Days starts the day that Sora turned into a Heartless, by the way. Hopefully this'll help clear up this cloud of ignorance around you.

    This page is too long and requires too much scrolling. You're both idiots, and I fail to see of what benefit this argument is, mostly because:

    A) participants have a flawed understanding of material space as featured in KH
    B) tried to break up 179 into too itty-bitty literary components
    C) I'm not really sure what you're arguing at this point
    D) semantics; therefore, you are both screwed, because English sucks

    Therefore, I declare the winner to be me for actually reading all of this.

    What does this even mean?

    I'm not really sure what you're arguing at this point
    My main point is:
    Xemnas made the KH of Worlds come to him in TWTNW by using the KH of men.
    semantics; therefore, you are both screwed, because English sucks
    Welcome to 99% of all debates.
    Therefore, I declare the winner to be me for actually reading all of this.
    Good job. Now you can leave knowing that you purposely managed to make yourself do something you didn't even want to do. And you won't have to worry about how long the page is when you're no longer in this topic.

    It means you're trying to bring too much outside knowledge into your analysis of the game. It's already bad enough to bring in what Nomura says about it (seeing as he's got a good two games to expand on it in the near future, and he's an idiot), but if an event did not happen or that you can't rationalize it based on the evidence in the games, you can't say it happened. I thought it was fairly obvious.

    As for your explanation of how space in KH works, it is rickety at best. If you're going to differentiate between the KH of the World and KH as it appears to individuals, you're going to have to seriously revise your explanation of how characters interact with KH.

    And no, I'm always here. If I'm not, then it means I'm in General Chat. No one wants that.

    What the games say and what Nomura says are essentially the same in regards to the storyline. If I can rationalize it based on what Nomura directly said, it's just as good, if not better than what is said in the games.

    The games already differentiated between the two KH's in, the DSR13 just confirms what the games have said.

    I'm always here too. The FF boards just aren't that interesting, I guess.

    I'm not even going to bother with the whole retort since you cannot even be civil with anyone in this thread. I'm actually in agreement with Tavrobel about how utterly ridiculous our discussion is. I'm just going to stick to the main point cause personally, I could care less about the definition of a world in KH, or whether KH is a world. Its a McGuffin, plain and simple.

    Ruin - From Webster's Dictionary
    Main Entry: ^2ruinFunction: verb
    Date: 1585
    transitive verb 1 : to reduce to ruins : devastate
    2 a : to damage irreparably b : bankrupt, impoverish <ruin>ed by stock speculation>
    3 : to subject to frustration, failure, or disaster <will ruin="" your="" chances="" of="" promotion="">intransitive verb : to become ruined


    From Cambridge Dictionary
    ruin verb

    /ˈruː.ɪn/ v [T]


    to spoil or destroy severely or completely
    Huge modern hotels have ruined this once unspoilt coastline.
    Her injury ruined her chances of winning the race.



    to cause a person or company to lose all their money or their reputation
    Cheap imported goods are ruining many businesses.
    If there's a scandal I'll be ruined!

    This is why I hate the English language.

    As for the Nomura and Nojima line. You obviously didn't read the whole thing or took proper grammar.

    For example, the heart-shaped moon in the previous game’s key visual showed up this time as the Kingdom Hearts. Did you think of doing this right from the start?
    No, I didn’t. I asked Nojima-san (Nojima Kazushige) to write KHII’s scenario and in his scenario it was written that the Kingdom Hearts Xemnas created is “like a moon that floats in the World that Never Was.” When I read that, I thought “Oh, this can be connected!” (laugh) so I made it to look like the moon in the previous game’s key visual. The World that Never Was has the “Dark City” right from the beginning of the game’s development and since then its background is night. That’s why when Nojima-san wrote that Xemnas was creating Kingdom Hearts in the sky, coincidentally he wrote “it looks like a moon” but I thought it got connected by destiny.
    Also, the quotation marks used in the original sentence, “like a moon that floats in the World that Never Was.” is proceeded by Nomura saying he read it off of Nojima's scenario. Thus the quotation marks are being used to signify Nomura quoting something Nojima wrote, as opposed to him saying "like" a moon in the TWTNW. He later says "it looks like a moon" signifying what Nojima meant by like. No where does it say this is the case of Sora learning that worlds look like star in the sky to other words as you are trying to pin this on. Had the line read, "like a moon seen in TWTNW" you would have an argument but instead your wasting my time with trying to say "in" does not constitute its meaning in this sentence because its in quotes. You also fail to notice the word before in, floats, as in an action, "floats in" means it is "floating in the World" as opposed to outside of it.

    We don't see moons or suns rotating outside for the worlds but they have them nonetheless which means they exist within the worlds. Nomura and Nojima say its in the TWTNW, so yes, they retcon something within KH, guess what? They can do this cause they are the creator and scenario writer and its in their power to do so. They have done it before in other projects.

    So guess what, we know Hearts form KH in Darkness its never said hearts can only form KH in the Dark Realm and Nojima, Nomura, and Xemnas prove this. Cause Xemnas forms KHoM in TWTNW.

    We never see KHoW summoned. We see Ansem accidentally destroy KHoM, we then see the wreckage of a KH with a freaking hole in it exactly where KHoM was. If Xemnas had already summoned KHoW, where was it up until this point? Behind KHoM? Also, saying Xemnas did it off screen is okay, cause "we never see Ansem sneak into CTNW" is a terrible excuse. There is a big difference on story impact between watching a side character sneak into a location and watching a villain fulfill his plans by summoning the ultimate McGuffin. He never talks about summoning it, no one mentions "hey, there's a new KH, must be the real one!", we do not see any scene depicting what you say and your only argument that says you are right is one lousy english word used in a melodramatic tone and the fact KH says KH exists in Darkness. If he doesn't talk about it, and we don't see him do it, and no one recognizes he did, chances are... he never did it.

    Well I found you two more "verb form" explanation for ruin and neither says it absolutely and only means "completely destroyed" which works, cause who says crap like "its ruined" and actually means its "completely destroyed" from an objective standpoint? I sat on my cake and now its ruined. It doesn't mean the cake is "completely destroyed" it still exists its just looks like a crushed cake with my ass imprinted on it. FFVI has the "Ruined World" its hardly "completely destroyed" otherwise the game would have ended right then and there.

    Nojima and Nomura say the KHoM is floating in TWTNW and it looks like a moon. Xemnas never summons KHoW, its not even mentioned in the game, instead he absorbs the "ruined" as in "irreparable or severally destroyed" KHoM and battles the party. All you need to do is play the game and see for yourself.

    At this point in time, I've grown tired of dealing with you so don't bother replying to this post, cause as far as I'm concerned, I believe I am right and you believe you are right and neither of us can convince the other either way, so the whole discussion is moot.</will></ruin>

    This is late in coming and I don't have the patience to read through all these mile long posts to see if it was brought up but regarding Kanno's theory about KH being the reflection of one's heart, you said something about not understanding why it looked the same for Xemnas as it did for Ansem. Maybe it's because Xemnas, as a Nobody, doesn't have a heart for it to reflect itself off of so it took the form of the last person's to open it.

    Just a thought.

    This is why I hate the English language.
    We both know that applying definitions such as bankruptcy make no sense at all in this case, so why bring them up?

    2 a : to damage irreparably
    Xemnas told the Keybladers to "bring him more hearts." Could it be to use the hearts to repair his supposedly still standing KHoM? Nah, it can't be, because it is so damaged that it can't be repaired. Now he needs to create the KHoM again in order to achieve true omnipotence like he wanted.

    Have fun proving that ruined does NOT mean "irreparable."

    I'm not even going to bother with the whole retort since you cannot even be civil with anyone in this thread.
    This is coming from the guy that's saying:

    -"I think my points are better than PuPu's because I think he's got nothing to prove himself right, even though I've got nothing to say I'm right either."

    -"Because it's never said I'm wrong, I'm right. I can also make up my own rules to what Nomura says as well."

    -"I don't like how the game showed how things really worked, so therefore the game is incorrect."

    Seriously, if I were "civil," I could just mimic you and we'd both end up getting nowhere, because we'd both be stalemated by "you can't prove yourself right, and you can't prove the other guy wrong" to every single point that either of us made. That's an even worse scenario than what actually happened.

    I'm actually in agreement with Tavrobel about how utterly ridiculous our discussion is.
    I agree, due to the reasons stated above.

    I'm just going to stick to the main point cause personally, I could care less about the definition of a world in KH, or whether KH is a world.
    One of the first points you made was that KH can't go to TWTNW because of world barriers. KH isn't a world, one of your points fails.
    You obviously didn't read the whole thing or took proper grammar.
    Actually it seems that we both missed one important part.
    Did you think of doing this right from the start?
    You'll know what I mean in a few sentences...

    Also, the quotation marks used in the original sentence, “like a moon that floats in the World that Never Was.” is proceeded by Nomura saying he read it off of Nojima's scenario. Thus the quotation marks are being used to signify Nomura quoting something Nojima wrote, as opposed to him saying "like" a moon in the TWTNW.
    That only changes the fact that it's Nojima that wrote "like it is in TWTNW" rather than Nomura. Had it been written the way you wanted, it would go "...is 'like a moon' that floats in the World that Never Was."
    He later says "it looks like a moon" signifying what Nojima meant by like.
    Because the interview refers to the game "from the start" as in, early production, this means that it was originally planned on being "in TWTNW," but that it wasn't. He later says "it looks like a moon" which is missing the "in TWTNW" part, meaning Nomura only acknowledged the moon part and not the "in TWTNW" part. And it says that Nomura only cared about the moon part because it fit the moon on the KH1 box, he completely disregarded the "in TWTNW" part.

    Besides, it's not hard to believe that Nomura changed around ideas that were originally planned for the game, considering that early scans of KH2 show scenes of Sora and Org13 in the Hollow Bastion castle, but it was later removed from the actual game.
    No where does it say this is the case of Sora learning that worlds look like star in the sky to other words as you are trying to pin this on.
    I never said that it did. But you can't deny they are at least very similar cases, if not the same.

    You also fail to notice the word before in, floats, as in an action, "floats in" means it is "floating in the World" as opposed to outside of it.
    It doesn't change the fact that "like" still applies to "in" and "floats in."

    We don't see moons or suns rotating outside for the worlds but they have them nonetheless which means they exist within the worlds.
    I'm sorry, did you just imply that Neil Armstrong became famous in 1969 for being the first person to step foot on a place "within Earth"?

    Nomura and Nojima say its in the TWTNW, so yes, they retcon something within KH, guess what? They can do this cause they are the creator and scenario writer and its in their power to do so.
    The only part they retconned was "in TWTNW."
    its never said hearts can only form KH in the Dark Realm
    But that isn't what you're trying to prove. You're trying to prove specifically that the hearts formed in TWNTW, which you haven't. Ever.
    Cause Xemnas forms KHoM in TWTNW.
    He maybe could have done it in Nojima's mind, but not in the actual KH2 that Nomura created.

    We never see KHoW summoned.
    We never see DiZ infiltrate into TWTNW either, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
    We see Ansem accidentally destroy KHoM
    "Accidentally?" That was his entire plan all along, to destroy KHoM, whether by turning it into data and deleting it, or making it blow up.

    we then see the wreckage of a KH with a freaking hole in it exactly where KHoM was.
    ...where KHoM was. And where it was already combined with KHoW.

    If Xemnas had already summoned KHoW, where was it up until this point? Behind KHoM?
    KHoW ended up in TWTNW, where Xemnas absorbs it. KHoM got destroyed almost immediately after.

    Also, saying Xemnas did it off screen is okay, cause "we never see Ansem sneak into CTNW" is a terrible excuse.
    No it isn't. The terrible excuse is calling one thing that isn't shown that's obvious as okay, while calling another not shown and obvious thing isn't. Xemnas was in TWTNW the whole time, his KHoM was destroyed

    There is a big difference on story impact between watching a side character sneak into a location and watching a villain fulfill his plans by summoning the ultimate McGuffin.
    There isn't a big difference when that "side character" is a major part of ruining the villain's plans almost immediately after he arrives.

    He never talks about summoning it
    So? He never talks about tons of things that he did, but didn't talk about. Everybody can do things without talking about them.
    no one mentions "hey, there's a new KH, must be the real one!"
    No one has to. Xemnas already told you the KH he made was gone.

    we do not see any scene depicting what you say
    We do not see any scene depicting that Xemnas formed KHoM in TWTNW either. Seriously, not only is this stuff that you're doing weak, but it can easily be applied to your points as well.
    and your only argument that says you are right is one lousy english word
    Which is actually enough to prove that KHoM was gone, thus making everything else I said true.
    and the fact KH says KH exists in Darkness
    It's still more than what you've got to say that Xemnas made KHoM in TWTNW.

    If he doesn't talk about it, and we don't see him do it, and no one recognizes he did, chances are... he never did it.
    Xemnas did talk about his KHoM being completely destroyed, we did see Ansem destroy it, and everyone recognizes it was completely destroyed because they saw Ansem and Xemnas talking about it. Try harder.


    Well I found you two more "verb form" explanation for ruin and neither says it absolutely and only means "completely destroyed" which works, cause who says crap like "its ruined" and actually means its "completely destroyed" from an objective standpoint? I sat on my cake and now its ruined. It doesn't mean the cake is "completely destroyed" it still exists its just looks like a crushed cake with my ass imprinted on it.
    You're also acting like "not completely destroyed" is the only definition. The most ridiculous and incorrect part in this entire quote is you implying that you've been looking at it objectively. But now got two things that says I'm right thanks to you, so have fun with "irreparably."
    FFVI has the "Ruined World" its hardly "completely destroyed" otherwise the game would have ended right then and there.
    "World of Ruin (noun)."

    Nojima and Nomura say the KHoM is floating in TWTNW and it looks like a moon.
    1. "Like" applies to the whole phrase.
    2. This was in early KH2 production.
    3. The final product of KH2 only has Nomura acknowledge "like a moon." "in TWNTW" is completely disregarded by Nomura.
    Xemnas never summons KHoW, its not even mentioned in the game
    Xemnas never fused with KHoM, it's not even mentioned in the game.
    instead he absorbs the "ruined" as in "irreparable or severally destroyed"
    Yet he asks for more hearts...which he can't use to fix his "irreparable" KHoM. And he wanted full omnipotence, which is KHoW and KHoM. A non-destroyed and non-irreparable KHoM, obviously.

    At this point in time, I've grown tired of dealing with you so don't bother replying to this post, cause as far as I'm concerned, I believe I am right and you believe you are right and neither of us can convince the other either way, so the whole discussion is moot.
    Maybe 90% of the points that you've made are only supported with "nothing proves me wrong," but at least every point I've made, including the ones made in response opposite to the claims you've made first, don't automatically fail for lack of proof.

    A child can claim to me that Santa Claus exists and do the same thing that you've been doing for every point you've made and still think he's right, but I should hope that both of us know he's wrong.

    My goodness. What a display of plot analysis...

    Um, anyways, I was in church the other day and a verse was mentioned that reminded me of "Xemnas'" description of the true nature of the human heart, despite it seeming superficially pure and beautiful. It also reminded me of Ansem the Wise's ultimately fruitless investigation into the nature of the heart and subsequent chaos that ensued.

    Jeremiah 17:9 (King James Version)

    9The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
    'Xemnas' and Ansem the Wise, respectively.


    "That fool Ansem said the heart's true nature was beyond his understanding...

    All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no
    different. Darkness sprouts within it, grows, consumes it. Such is
    its nature. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence
    it came. You see, darkness is the hearts true essence."

    --------------
    "I have made a grave mistake...

    ...What on earth was happening within the hearts of my six beloved apprentices? While persuing the mystery of the darkness of the heart, could they themselves have strayed into its depths?

    ...We are not meant to interfere in the depths of another's heart, no matter what our reasons for doing so..."
    Sounds like a KH quote, huh? Nah, it's the bible. Which prompts me to further investigate the ideologies behind the Kingdom Hearts universe and Biblical scripture. Not saying it's subliminal preaching (or that the idea of the heart being mysterious and forbidden to study is even an entirely original one!) or some crap like that, but it's just interesting to see parallels...

    EDIT: Um, I think I got most of that right? Didn't completely derail the thread, did I?
