* In the North American version, Xehanort's [[Heartless]] was voiced by Billy Zane, whose only Disney role is John Rolfe in ''Pocahontas 2''. Much like his previous self, Xehanort's Heartless was voiced by popular seiyuu [[Akio Ohtsuka]] in the Japanese version, who also voiced Judge Magister Gabranth of ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]''. However, Billy Zane did not reprise his role in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''; instead, [[Richard Epcar]] provided the voices as well as dubbed over the former's voice during Roxas's flashback of Sora's memories.

* It is believed that the reason Ansem still retained his humanity after becoming a Heartless was by doing so of his own will, in addition to having a strong heart. This can be seen in Sora, who gave his heart willingly to return Kairi's from his body with the [[dark Keyblade]]. Shortly after, he returned as a [[Shadow]] (probably because he did not possess as much darkness as Xehanort's [[Heart]]) and found his way to Kairi, who restored Sora to his original form. However, [[Axel]] and [[Larxene]] state in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'' that Sora still retained his own mind as a Heartless, presumably due to the strength of his own heart and the [[Keyblade]]'s power.

* In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', Sora can get the Ansem enemy card, even though he's not a boss for Sora. Sora can get it on the thirteenth floor after the player beats Riku's story.

* It is unconfirmed whether or not Xehanort's Heartless is a Pureblood or Emblem Heartless due to the emblem on his chest, but it is speculated that he is most likely a Pureblood and that the emblem on his chest is his very own, just to prove he became a Heartless.
