The Unversed Emblem
"It happened when you and I were split into two. The negativity took shape as these monsters. They are what I feel—a horde of fledgling emotions under my control."
—Vanitas, explaining the existence of the Unversed to Ventus

The Unversed (アンヴァース Anvāsu?),[1] meaning "those who were not well-versed in their own existences", are the main enemies of the game Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. They are considered "the opposite of human life" and grow from the negative emotions produced when Vanitas was separated from Ventus. It is because of this that Vanitas is able to control them. By all accounts, the Unversed are extensions of Vanitas himself.

Story

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

Vanitas explains to Ventus about the Unversed's existence.

Around the same time as Master Xehanort's leave from the Land of Departure, the existence of the Unversed is brought to the attention of Master Eraqus by the Keyblade master's old friend, Master Yen Sid. Master Eraqus sends Terra and Aqua (two of his three apprentices) on a quest to find Master Xehanort and stop the Unversed threat. He did not plan on Ventus (the youngest apprentice) trailing after his two friends, and it is due to Ventus's quest and his final battle with Vanitas (his dark side) that the truth behind the Unversed is revealed.

Vanitas explains that the Unversed are his creation, and since he is a being created from the purest, most raw form of darkness, he can manipulate the negative thoughts and emotions of people. He spawned them as Unversed and spread them across the worlds, so that Terra, Ventus, and Aqua can fight them off and grow stronger in the process. The negativity of the defeated Unversed eventually return to Vanitas, and the race as a whole disappears upon Vanitas's destruction.

Appearance

The eyes of the Cursed Coach.

Several varieties of Unversed appear over the course of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Emotion was a key component in their conception and design. Thus they are seen with smiling, angry, and crying "faces", referring to the shape of their red eyes, which all Unversed share. The emblem most Unversed are christened with is also meant to represent a heart that expresses emotion.[2]

Unlike Heartless bosses and Nobody bosses (whom are enveloped in light when defeated), the Unversed bosses are consumed in a dark flame when vanquished.

List of Unversed

Notes

  • Chronologically, the Unversed are either the first enemy or second one referenced during Deep Dive as they're the second race to manifest yet are the first one to attack the Realm of Light.
  • The Unversed are the first race to not have an incarnation of Xehanort (as Terra-Xehanort splits himself into a Heartless "Ansem" and a Nobody Xemnas) nor be directly commanded by the villain (while Ansem commanded the Heartless and Xemnas commanded the Nobodies). However, Vanitas (the source of all Unversed) was Xehanort's apprentice.

References

  1. ^ At one point, the Unversed were known as "Unbirths" due to a fan mistranslation.
  2. ^ Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania Nomura Interview Their design concept became the theme of ‘emotion’, and we went with various motifs, such as a laughing face, angry face and crying face. The Unversed mark was also modeled on the heart from emotions.
