Forum:Can Heartless Use the Keyblade?

This has been bugging me recently. I've always operated under the assumption that this was impossible, & that's why Not-Ansem had to possess Riku. Then the Wiki dropped a bomb on me by arguing that Sora could technically be considered a Heartless until he reunites with Roxas. Up until then, I'd assumed that he was incomplete, but still fundamentally a normal person. Not a Heartless. I'm still not sure which interpretation is true. But supposing he is a Heartless, he's able to wield the Keyblade, but presumably wasn't in his Shadow form. And even if that's not true, we still have to wonder why a Nobody can use a Keyblade, but a Heartless can't. It's all very confusing, anyone think that they can shed some light on this?Neo Bahamut (talk) 01:41, 6 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh, my, no. There's nothing to say that Nobodies, in general, can't use the Keyblade. So far, all we know is that Nobodies & Replicas of Keyblade Wielders can, except Xemnas, for some reason or another. Anti-Form is not a Heartless, & is distinct from Anti-Sora, which near as I can tell is a Heartless that copies Sora's appearance--but its Keyblade is probably fake. The Heartless to which I am referring is (1) Sora, transformed into a Shadow, in Hollow Bastion & (2) Sora, from the end of KH1 until the beginning of KH2. For 2, we don't know that he is technically considered a Heartless at this time, but that's the Wiki's general position which, if true, leads to this question. Being evil is not a barrier towards using the Keyblade, & it's also kind of a subjective term.Neo Bahamut (talk) 21:39, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
