Why is xemnas still alive

AR Well-known member. Whirz said:. Thanks, I will. I was worried it goes completely unaddressed but good to know it's in there somewhere.

AR said:. Play to the end of the game. If you pay close attention, you should understand by then. Genocide All you need to know.

Well I've just finished the game. Still confused. Obviously they are in replica bodies but when did Xehanort travel back a second time after they all disappeared in dream drop distance?

Genocide said:. Well, off screen. Ansem SoD time was time travelling in KH1. So maybe then? So, while it's never explicitly stated as with so many things in this series , it is inferable that Young Xehanort went back in time again after DDD to pull the past hearts of the Org members into their replica bodies in KH3.

It would appear that YX's abilities only allowed for him to maintain their presence in the present for a limited time, so by the end of DDD, all the hearts that traveled through time to assemble there all had to return whence they came.

Only after DDD did YX begin the process of reassembling the past hearts and bringing them into the future using Replica bodies, which was the only way they could have managed to keep them alive. User Info: lionhart Ansem is actually Riku, who used the power of darkness to grow stronger When he fights Roxas and then took his look. User Info: DarkElek. User Info: shadownix THE one you defeated is xenahorts heartless and now you defeat his nobody xemnas.

User Info: abdallah Ansem is not Ansem and is not still alive. User Info: tabstis. Nope ansem already killed by us at Kingdom Hearts 1 , he is xehanort's heartless and xemnas is Xehanort's nobody. User Info: The one who you defeated at the end of KH1 was not Ansem, but one of his students, Xehanort.

Then, he vanishes into a corridor of darkness, but not before King Mickey follows him in. However, as King Mickey later appears in Twilight Town, it is obvious that either Xemnas managed to escape him or that King Mickey simply lost track of him. After his remaining followers are defeated, Xemnas makes himself known when he learns of Ansem the Wise personally attempting to digitally seal Kingdom Hearts away to hinder him.

The former pupil mocks his teacher, stating that he is the source of all Heartless and the one who inspired Xehanort to go where Ansem himself did not dare to venture. Though Ansem admits that fact though his intentions was pure, he asks what Xemnas seeks from all the suffering he caused. Xemnas reveals his intentions while mocking Ansem for being jealous of being outdone by his own student.

However, Ansem scoffs at this while stating neither of them truly understands the heart and that Xemnas' plan is destined to fail miserably before the Kingdom Hearts Encoder explodes. Retreating as the bright light envelops the area, Xemnas is mortified to find his Kingdom Heart damaged by Ansem's actions with the dislodged hearts falling into the city and becoming Heartless.

Once Sora and the others travel up to the very top of the tower, Xemnas asks the three Keyblade wielders to fetch him more hearts to repair the damage. But when they refuse, Xemnas goes into a philosophical debate with them over light and darkness and then the rights of those who are nothing. But as Riku and Sora refuse to believe the false sincerity he expresses, Xemnas admits that feels no remorse for his actions and proceeds to face Sora one on one in an arena of nothingness, with Memory's Skyscraper towering above them.

However, Xemnas is still alive and well, basking in the hole on Kingdom Hearts while urging it to become one with him so they both gain the power needed to destroy their common enemies.

Sora and the others try to stop him, but Xemnas is absorbed into Kingdom Hearts. Fortunately, the worlds created a door for Sora and the others to enter, for they wanted them to be the guardians of their destiny. They then follow Xemnas into Kingdom Hearts, but they see that Xemnas has taken its power and transformed the realm into a place resembling The World That Never Was with a giant fortress in the middle.

After they defeat him, they are somehow transported back to the tower with King Mickey and Kairi. Seeing Xemnas fading as he thinks that he needs more hearts and more rage, Sora tells him that hearts are more than just anger or hate and asks if he remembers. Xemnas admits that he doesn't before seemingly fading back into darkness. After another difficult battle, Xemnas takes Sora and Riku to a realm of nothingness, with Xemnas wearing a robe representing both light and darkness.

He says that if both light and darkness are eternal, then so too must be nothingness. Riku and Sora say this is true but refuse to accept Xemnas to be eternal himself. After a very intense battle, Xemnas manages to badly injure Riku before Sora batters him into submission with both his and Riku's Keyblades before the two unleash a beam of light from Sora's Keyblade, piercing Xemnas through the chest.

After being defeated, Xemnas fades away in a flurry of Nobody thorns and darkness, making him the final member of Organization XIII to fade away. Mickey recalls Xemnas as Xehanort's incarnation that commanded the Nobodies, with Yen Sid adding that the destruction of both Ansem and Xemnas will lead to the reconstruction of Master Xehanort.

At some point prior to his destruction, Xemnas' heart, which he had kept secret from most, is collected from the past by Young Xehanort and brought to the future to serve as a member of the real Organization XIII. Without a proper vessel for his heart however, Xemnas's time in the future as just a corporeal heart was short.

Xemnas first appears in Prankster's Paradise alongside Young Xehanort, much to Sora's shock, and comments on the absurdity of a puppet like Pinocchio having a heart, before Sora points out that the puppet isn't at all like Nobodies, but then comments that if Pinocchio could grow a heart, it should be that a Nobody could do likewise. Xemnas acknowledges this, but comments that Sora himself is not so very different from a Nobody before leaving. Xemnas and Young Xehanort later reveal themselves again in The Grid , telling Sora that when memories accumulate in reality, they bloom into emotions, but in the digital world such as The Grid, it is impossible, explaining that no matter how much memories are inside someone, they don't have a heart to express emotion.

Xemnas explains that it was his master, Ansem the Wise, that created a copy of The Grid, and used it to serve his own ends. After explaining the details of the nature of the digital world and of Tron , and also questioning Sora with regard to his own memories and emotions, Xemnas leaves, though not before stating that Sora has been 'chosen'.

Upon this revelation, Sora becomes disgusted at how Xemnas and Xigbar have commissioned the heart as an experiment and a tool to commit heinous atrocities to countless worlds and millions of innocents, and he engages Xemnas in battle, managing to drive the Nobody off before the boy's darkness takes its toll on him.

Master Xehanort soon attempts to turn Sora into his final vessel of his new Organization, and though Riku and Mickey attempt to stop him, they are both subdued by Ansem and Xemnas respectively.

However, Lea soon arrives and rescues Sora, the event distracting Xemnas long enough for Mickey to summon his Kingdom Key D , with the Nobody teleporting away before Mickey could hit him. After Donald and Goofy arrive and defeat the Dark Figure , the incomplete Organization is forced to escape as their allotted time runs out. With their time up as corporeal hearts, Xemnas and the other time-traveling members of the real Organization are forced to return to their original times, though they soon regather in the future once more, this time with refined replicas from the early batches of the Replica Program waiting for them to use as vessels for their hearts, thus allowing them to remain anchored to the present.

After criticizing Sora for wanting to bring back Roxas, as Roxas shouldn't have existed in the first place, Xemnas states that the only way for Sora to bring him back would be to separate himself into a Heartless and Nobody again, which would suit their plans, though Sora assures Xemnas that Roxas would never answer to him again.

Ansem summons a swarm of Neoshadows , accompanied by Xemnas summoning a few Dusks. Ansem soon teleports away with Xemnas, both telling Sora to set his heart free and to surrender it to darkness. Not long after, Ansem and Xemnas observe Sora and his friends from atop a rooftop in downtown Twilight Town as he prepares to leave.

Xigbar soon appears, questioning the duo if they were making things too obvious for Sora; Xemnas tells him that they were instructed to guide him, and Ansem explains that the heroes would be lost if they didn't spell it out for them. When Xigbar reminds the two of Sora's previous victories over them, Ansem responds that they would simply destroy him should he waver off of the Organization's set path; Xigbar comments that this would force them to find another vessel, though Xemnas remarks that they have more than just "one iron in the fire" for this reason.

At the real Organization's base in the Keyblade Graveyard , Xemnas materializes on one of the higher rock formations just as Larxene admits to falsely telling Sora at Arendelle that the thirteen darknesses have been assembled to Marluxia and Demyx. Xemnas tells them to continue the charade, as this would merely cause the guardians to become unprepared and careless, though when Demyx makes a nonchalant remark, Larxene questions why he was a member in the first place.

Xemnas reveals that the first six members of the original Organization were all apprentices to Ansem the Wise, with the seventh and eighth members joining shortly before the Organization's creation. After explaining that the thirteenth member, Roxas, was a Keyblade wielder, Xemnas asks why they think he chose numbers nine through twelve to the trio, and after Larxene's answer is shot down, Xemnas reveals that they were all chosen for another purpose.

Luxord soon appears, shortly questioning Xemnas on their new gathering apart from old time's sake, to which Xemnas reveals that they all share a similar trait; they possess an ancient Keyblade legacy that slumbers dormant within them. Once the fully assembled guardians of light reach the Keyblade Graveyard, Master Xehanort appears before them to explain his plans, with Ansem, Xemnas, Young Xehanort, and Vanitas joining by his side one by one.

When Xemnas appears after Ansem, he tells the guardians that their light shines far too bright, and that it must be extinguished for "the truth" to be seen.

After Vanitas and Young Xehanort appear, the five darknesses unleash a combined swarm of Heartless, Nobodies, and Unversed for the guardians to combat before warping away. Xemnas later walks hooded with the rest of the Organization to confront the guardians at the crossroads of the Keyblade Graveyard before Master Xehanort creates the Skein of Severance to serve as the battlegrounds of the Keyblade War. Xemnas soon gathers with Luxord, Marluxia, and Larxene in a section of the Trail of Valediction to combat Mickey, though Sora soon appears to assist his friend.

Knowing the tide of the battle has drastically changed, Xemnas soon levitates behind his forces, creating a barrier of Nobody thorns around the arena to prevent the heroes from escaping. After the trio of darknesses are forced back by the two guardians, Xemnas sends a blast of energy into Luxord, granting him a power boost as the barrier around them retracts. After chuckling, Xemnas warps away. However, Xemnas is stopped from dealing the fatal blow by Xion, who explains that they need him alive, though Xemnas counters this claim before ordering her to kill him instead.

This however is stopped by Sora, who reignites Xion's memories from within his heart, causing her to emotionally break down. Unsatisfied, Xemnas kicks the two down and prepares to kill them both, though Roxas' heart emerges from Sora, acquiring a replica body from Radiant Garden and appearing before Xemnas in a beam of light.

Other than that, generally speaking, some Heartless are stronger, and some Nobodies are stronger. Xemnas is overwhelmingly powerful and does have a body fully at its prime without any extra restrictions.

By becoming a Nobody he gained immense nothingness abilities rival that of the abilities we have seen from casually tossing sky scrapers to thousands of lasers, his fight in DDD was pretty rad. He used Sora and his Keyblade to collect hearts from the Heartless and see Kingdom Hearts to its completion.
