kh-info-block:

1: Why do Roxas and Ventus look alike?

Because inside Sora, which is Roxas’ body, is Ventus’s heart. 



As was shown in the opening to BbS and the ending to Last Episode, Sora 
and Ventus’s hearts are linked. And so Roxas, who is a part of
 Sora, was affected by that link and looks just like Ventus.

 When Sora was born into the world, he linked with Ventus and filled in his 
fractured heart. Many years later, when Ventus was on the verge of
 disappearing after his fight with Vanitas, Sora took him into his own
 heart.

2: Why did Roxas faint in Castle Oblivion on Day 297?

Because he had gotten too close to both Sora and Ventus, his “real self”.



 Before Day 297 in Days Sora had been to Castle Oblivion, as well as the
 fact that Ventus is asleep somewhere in the Chamber of Waking. Both
 Sora and Ventus can be called Roxas’s “real selves”, and when he felt 
their presence it made him faint.

3: Is it possible that Roxas has a heart?

It is thought that it could be Ventus’s heart.



 In KHIIFM there were clues to him having a heart, and in Days we saw
 Roxas crying—proof that he could have a heart. As was said in Q1, he 
has taken a lot of himself from Ventus. But perhaps when Sora and Roxas
 were separated, Ventus’s heart stayed in Roxas?

4: Why can Roxas dual-wield?

Because he can use both Sora’s and Ventus’s Keyblades.



 Sora can wield two Keyblades at once because he has Ventus’s as well as
 his own. As Roxas is a part of Sora, he also can use two. In Days, Roxas
 awakened his ability to dual-wield after fighting Xion. In KHII, once
 Sora absorbed Roxas, he could also dual-wield. Roxas awoke his ability to dual-wield through his will to not forget Xion, who also wielded a Keyblade.

5: Why was Riku chosen as the original wielder of the keyblade?

Because he was chosen by Terra to inherit one.



 To use a Keyblade you must have been chosen to inherit one, as well as been
 chosen by the Keyblade itself. In BbS you could see that Terra
 performed the ceremony with Riku, and that is why Riku was able to take
 the Keyblade that Sora used. Because he has been chosen to inherit, Riku can see the Keyholes of the worlds.

6: Why did Kairi end up with Sora and Riku?

It has to do with Aqua’s “magic”.



 Nine years before KH, Kairi was thrust into the outside world, and
 found herself on Sora and Riku’s world. Ansem, Seeker of Darkness
 thought that she had been able to search for a Keyblade wielder, but
 what actually saved her was the magic spell Aqua had put on her.

7: Why can Kairi use a Keyblade?

Because she came into contact with Aqua’s Keyblade.



 The Keyblade inheritance ceremony is performed with a Keyblade Master
 touches someone using a Keyblade. When Kairi was running away from the 
Unversed in BbS she grabbed Aqua’s Keyblade, which performed the
 ceremony. That is why she is able to use a keyblade in KHII to help
 Sora.

8: Who is Apprentice Xehanort really?

Master Xehanort commandeering Terra’s body



. Master Xehanort wishes to bring back the Keyblade War and see what 
happens afterward with his own eyes, but once he found a way to
 accomplish this he was already an old man with only a few years left to 
him. Wishing to become young again, he finds Terra, and defeats him
 with darkness so he can take his body. That is the Xehanort that Ansem 
the Wise picks up, and makes his number one apprentice.

9: Where did the Organization’s coat and mark come from?

Xemnas remembering his human years. 



One year after BbS, Xehanort as well as the five other apprentices toss
 aside their hearts. Then the Nobody Xemnas was born, and the
 Organization which he creates take a lot of things from his memories as
 a human. But as Xemnas had two people whom he came from, Terra and Master
 Xehanort, he takes from both of their memories. The coat used by the Organization was something that Master Xehanort originally wore. The Nobody mark used by the Organization is a similar shape to the mark Terra used. Xemnas gives Organization members names with an X in them. This has something to do with Master Xehanort’s interest in the χ-Blade.

10: What is the origin of Castle Oblivion?

It is the transformed version of Land of Departure after it was sealed. 



Castle Oblivion’s original form was Land of Departure, which is a training ground. It is a special place between the Realms of Darkness and
 Light, and has been protected for generations so that it is not used 
for evil. A device was set in place just in case of such an event, and 
after Master Eraqus was killed and Aqua closed the Keyhole of the 
world, it put this device into action. It turned it into a castle which
 would draw anyone who goes there into oblivion.

11: Why is Aqua’s armor in The Chamber of Repose?

Because Aqua tried to save Terra.



 When she tried to retrieve Terra’s heart from Terra-Xehanort, they both
 fell into the Realm of Darkness, and she gave him both her armor and
 her Keyblade which allowed him to escape. Because of this, when Ansem the
 Wise picked up Xehanort, he still had the armor and Keyblade, which 
Xemnas then put in The Chamber of Repose.

12: Why is Xemnas searching for The Chamber of Wakening?

To find Ventus.



 The Chamber of Wakening is the room where Aqua leaves Ventus sleeping
 in Last Episode, and is a part of Castle Oblivion. As you can see from 
Xemnas calling Aqua’s armor his “friend”, it seems Xemnas has Terra’s
 memories and he is searching for Ventus, making the other
 Organization members look for the Chamber of Wakening. The only one who can solve the mysteries of Castle Oblivion is Aqua, though, so the Organization was never able to find it.

13: What is the true form of Lingering Spirit?

After Terra lost his body, his thoughts gathered into his armor. At the end of Terra’s scenario, Master Xehanort had commandeered his
 body, so his thoughts took control of his armor. Afterward, the armor 
stayed in the Keyblade Graveyard, until KHIIFM where “Lingering
 Spirit” went up against Sora. Because he saw that it was not his chosen
 one, Riku, using a keyblade, but Sora, he grew suspicious and thought he
 had something to do with Master Xehanort and attacked him. After fighting him, LS feels Ventus inside of Sora.

14: Did something happen in Xigbar’s past?

He was Master Xehanort’s accomplice.



 The No.2 member in the Organization, Xigbar, conspired with Master
 Xehanort when he was still a human named Braig. Because of this, he knows 
more about Xemnas, who is the Nobody of Xehanort, than anyone else.
 That is why he often says strange things, and can speak up against
 Xemnas.

 



As Master Xehanort was trying to get Terra’s body as a vessel for
 himself, Braig tried to lure Terra into the darkness by fighting him.
 But the power of darkness that Terra released was stronger than he
 would have imagined, and he ended up losing his right eye and getting a
 wound along his cheek. Afterwards Braig’s ears become sharper, and his
 brown eyes change to gold. This is because he was influenced by
 Xehanort, whom he was working with.

Things Xigbar has said in the past:

• “Do you always have to stare at me as if I just drowned your goldfish?” (Days, Day 353: When he sees Xion as Ventus.)

• “That’s RIGHT. He used to give me that same exact look!” (KHII: Facing off against Sora in Hollow Bastion.)

At the end of Ventus and Aqua’s scenarios, they went against him in the 
Keyblade Graveyard, and Ventus glared at him while frozen. This is 
Xigbar remembering that scene.

• “How many years ago was that…. when those guys with the key-shaped
 swords showed up and fought. After they all disappeared, a man who lost
 his memories appeared.” (KHII FM Xigbar talked with Zexion about Xemnas’ secrets.)

This is pointing to when Aqua fought Terra-Xehanort in Last Episode.

• “I guess that must be why the Keyblade chose you. But MAN, did it pick a dud this time. You don’t look like you’re half the hero the others were.” (KHII: Facing against Sora.)

“The others” is referring to Terra and Aqua, whom he has
 fought against before, as well as Ventus, Master Xehanort and Vanitas.

15: What sort of people were Organization members 3-8 as humans?

We know now that they had ordinary lives in Radiant Garden. 



In BbS we’ve seen one part of Xigbar’s past, as well as members 3-8.
 3-6 were apprentices under Ansem the Wise and did things like act as
 guardsmen, but Axel and Saïx were just young boys who were friends.

16: What happened to Ansem the Wise?

He is left wandering in the Realm of Darkness. 



Ansem the Wise, who had been banished to the Realm of Nothingness by his six
 apprentices, in KHII, wanted to release the Kingdom Hearts made from
 people’s hearts that the Nobodies of his apprentices had made. The 
machine that he used for that ended up exploding, taking him with it. It 
looked as though he died, but we know from the secret event in
 BbS that he was sent into the Realm of Darkness. Ansem tried to encode the heart’s form into data with his machine, but it didn’t go as planned and the machine went berserk. Ansem the Wise was thrust into the Realm of Darkness, forgetting all of his memories except those concerning Sora.

17: What made Maleficent want to take over the world?

Because of what she learned from Master Xehanort.



 In KH Maleficent tried to steal the hearts of the princesses of light by using Heartless soldiers. The reason she decided to do this was 
because Master Xehanort had told her “If you gather the hearts of the 
princesses you will be able to control the world.”

18: Why was Pete put in prison?

It was a punishment for stepping on the hearts of others. 



In KHII Pete tells us he was saved from prison by Maleficent. The 
reason he was put there was because during the Dream Festival he said
 things that showed he cared little for the hearts of others.

19: Why did Merlin have Winnie the Pooh’s book?

Terra picked it up and gave it to him. 



In KH he tells us that it’s not really his book, it had just been in 
his bag. In BbS we see that it had fallen there as if drawn to him, and
 Terra had picked it up and given it to him.

20: Why was Scrooge so interested in ice cream?

He’s always been interested in ice cream. 



In Ventus’s scenario we find out that the ice cream machine that Huey 
and the boys were using was originally Scrooges machine. As he has always 
been interesting in making ice cream, that is why he was so interested 
in it in KHII.
