Ansem's Report

The Ansem Report is a series of pages collected throughout Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II. The report explores the mythology of the series, and focuses largely on the nature of beings, what they become (Heartless and Nobodies), and the nature of darkness and nothingness. The second report, also known as the Secret Ansem Report, also explain the background and plans of specific characters, primarily Xehanort, Naminé, and Organization XIII. Though both reports are originally thought to be written by Ansem the Wise, it is revealed that he is only responsible for Ansem Report part 1 and the Secret Ansem Report; his apprentice Xehanort, who stole his identity, is responsible for Ansem Report parts 2-13.

Story
Ansem began work on the report in order to study the darkness in the hearts of beings, and to determine ways to protect his homeworld, Radiant Garden, from its ravages.

Ansem Report 1

 * Much of my life has been dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge.
 * That knowledge has guarded this world well. Not a soul doubts that.
 * I am blessed with people's smiles and respect. But though I am called a sage, there are things I do not understand.
 * I believe darkness sleeps in every heart, no matter how pure. Given the chance, the smallest drop can spread and swallow the heart. I have witnessed it many times.
 * Darkness...Darkness of the heart. How is it born?
 * How does it come to affect us so?
 * As ruler of this world, I must find the answers. I must find them before the world is lost to those taken by the darkness.

Ansem Report 2

 * It is my duty to expose what this darkness really is. I shall conduct the following experiments:
 * Extract the darkness from a person's heart.
 * Cultivate darkness in a pure heart.
 * Both suppress and amplify the darkness within.
 * The experiments caused the test subject's heart to collapse, including those of the most stalwart. How fragile our hearts are! My treatment produced no signs of recovery. I confined those who had completely lost their hearts beneath the castle.
 * Some time later, I went below and was greeted by the strangest sight. Creatures that seemed born of darkness...What are they? Are they truly sentient beings? Could they be the shadows of those who lost their hearts in my experiments?

Ansem Report 3

 * The shadows that crawl beneath the castle... Are they the people who lost their hearts, or incarnations of darkness? Or something entirely beyond my imagination?
 * All my knowledge has provided no answer. One thing I am sure of is that they are entirely devoid of emotion. Perhaps further study will unlock the mysteries of the heart.
 * Fortunately, there is no shortage of test samples. They are multiplying underground even as I write this report. They still need a name. Those who lack hearts... I will call them the Heartless.

Ansem Report 4

 * The Heartless appear in groups, and are multiplying rapidly. I've provided them both living and nonliving samples. They've responded only to the living. They seem to multiply after absorbing something from the living creatures. Their prey vanishes without a trace.
 * I believe the Heartless are taking hearts. They are born from those who've lost their hearts, and thrive on hearts seized from others. The hearts taken by the Heartless become Heartless themselves.
 * Though I lack proof, I am confident in this hypothesis. I must also study their behavioral principles. Though they lack emotions, they do seem to have some intelligence. How to communicate with them?
 * It's just occurred to me: Could they be the darkness in people's hearts?

Ansem Report 5

 * To study the Heartless behavior, I picked one out for observation. It wiggled its antennae and, as if sensing a target, headed deep into the castle. In the deepest part of the castle, its antennae began vibrating, as if searching for something. Suddenly, a strange door appeared. I'd never known of its existence.
 * It had a large keyhole, but didn't seem to be locked. So I opened the door. What I saw on the other side mystified me. What was that powerful mass of energy? That night I observed a great meteor shower in the sky. Could it be related to the door that I have opened?

Ansem Report 6

 * A massive core of energy lay beyond the door sought by the Heartless. It may be the ultimate goal of the Heartless. But what is that energy? I have devised a hypothesis, based upon my observations of the Heartless.
 * The Heartless feed on other's hearts, and they yearn for that energy core. That thing beyond the door must be a heart, too--the heart of this world. There is no proof, but, having felt that immense energy, I am certain. That was the heart of the world.
 * The Heartless are trying to take hearts not only from all living creatures, but from the planet itself. But what do they mean to do with the heart of the world?

Ansem Report 7

 * I am studying material from the meteors that rained down that fateful night. What a find! The material is foreign to our world. It is elastic to the touch, and when two pieces are combined, they bond easily. None of the records even mention such a substance.
 * Was it introduced to this world when I opened the door? I wonder how many other such materials drift through the atmosphere of this tiny world... I wish I could soar off and find out! Could there be uncharted worlds up there? My curiosity never ceases to grow.
 * But I should stop speaking of such unrealistic dreams. For now, there is no way to venture outside this world. My people and I are all but prisoners of this tiny place.

Ansem Report 8

 * There is no doubt that the Heartless are deeply connected to the people's hearts. Further study may unravel both their motivations and the mysteries shrouding the heart.
 * As a start, I have built a device that artificially creates Heartless. By recreating the conditions that spawn the Heartless naturally, I should be able to produce them artificially. This device is the culmination of all my research thus far. The machine's test run successfully created a Heartless.
 * This may be a step toward creating a heart from nothing. The artificially and naturally created Heartless showed nearly identical traits. But the two types remain distinct for the purpose of the experiment. So, I will mark the ones that are created artificially.

Ansem Report 9

 * Simply astonishing! Today I had a guest from another world. He is a king, and his vessel is built of the material that composed the meteors. He called the pieces "gummi blocks". It seemed that my opening the door has opened a path to interworld travel.
 * We talked for countless hours, but one story in particular caught my interest: that of a key called the "Keyblade". The Keyblade is said to hold phenomenal power.
 * One legend says its wielder saved the world, while another says that he wrought chaos and ruin upon it. I must know what this Keyblade is. A key opens doors. It must be connected to the door I have opened.

Ansem Report 10

 * Just as people have hearts, so do worlds. The same can be said of stars in the night sky. And deep within each world lies a door to its heart. The Heartless desire those hearts. Born out of darkness in people's hearts, they seek to return to a greater heart.
 * Yes that's it. The Heartless come from people's hearts, as does the darkness. Is the core of the world's heart the world of the Heartless? I will pursue the answer there and become all knowing.
 * My path is set. I shall seek out the wielder of the Keyblade, and the princesses. My body is too frail for such a journey, but I must do this. I will cast it off and plunge into the depths of darkness.

Ansem Report 11

 * Upon opening the door of a world's heart, the wall around that world is broken down.This is seen as a shooting star. Through this, I have been able to understand the reason why the material known as Gummi Blocks has the ability to allow travel to other worlds.
 * A world's wall collapses because of the appearance of the Heartless, but finding a world's door takes time. And robbing a world of its heart is a similar case.
 * If the door has been closed by the Keyblade, one would probably be unable to reach that world's heart again. Before the Keyblade wielder appears in this world, I must take measures to do something.
 * Supposing that there is a close relationship between the Princesses and the Keyblade, it seems likely that they will resonate with each other...
 * I have chosen a special girl. I do not know if she possesses the power of the Princesses, but there is a chance, and this is an experiment. She may lead me to the place where the one holding the key is...
 * I shall send her off to the ocean of other worlds.

Ansem Report 12

 * I have transcended to an existence of only the heart. I should have come back as a Heartless, but there is no sign of such a transformation.
 * My body has surely perished. However, I am different from the other Heartless, keeping the memories of before, and I have not taken on the form of a Heartless.
 * It is evident that there are still many things to be studied.
 * In order to cross over to the dark realm, which is not this world, you must go beyond the door of Kingdom Hearts, the heart of all worlds.
 * The core connected to the world's heart, the place that will take me to the world of darkness. (I will record the details in another report...)
 * There are still so many unknown worlds.
 * The Realm of the Present...The Realm of darkness. The Realm of light.
 * And, The Realm of in-between.
 * In which one will I find sanctuary?

Ansem Report 13

 * When the heart casts away the body, where does the body go?
 * Heart and soul are separate, and the soul remains in the body. But can we assume that the remaining body and soul perish?
 * Certainly when the heart changes into a Heartless, the body disappears.
 * Or does that apply solely to this realm? Could other beings similar to the Heartless exist in another realm?
 * If we take that to be the case, then there must be another form of oneself elsewhere.
 * An existence neither of darkness nor of light. An in-between existence. Cast off by the heart, a mere shell, one who begrudges both the darkness and the light.
 * This mystery cannot be easily resolved. The relationship between the heart and the body is a complex one.
 * But since we exist in this realm, our counterparts of another realm must not be existent.
 * Therefore I shall call them...
 * "The Nobodies."

Secret Ansem Report 1

 * My efforts these many years have come to fruition, with the world I govern having become a paradise worthy of being called "Radiant Garden."
 * Nurtured by the pure water that is the source of life, fragrant flowers bloom in abundance, and the people face each day with hopeful smiles.
 * But where there is light, darkness also lurks. As noted in my earlier reports, I must solve the mystery of this "darkness of the heart." This paradise depends on it.
 * I shall perform an experiment to probe the depths of a person's heart. One of my own apprentices, Xehanort, has volunteered to be a subject.
 * The young man has served me ever since I nursed him back from death's door some years ago.
 * He had lost all his memories at the time, but later showed remarkable intellectual curiosity and readily absorbed my teachings, gaining deep wisdom. Any mental immaturity is surely due to his young age.
 * If I explore Xehanort's heart with psychological tests, I may be able to recall the past locked away within. My apprentice Even has also shown great interest in Xehanort's memories.
 * But is he really the right subject? Xehanort does indeed exhibit extraordinary talents...
 * Too extraordinary...
 * Perhaps they are even superhuman.

Secret Ansem Report 2

 * I have made a grave mistake. My study of the "darkness of the heart" began with a simple psychological test and quickly snowballed.
 * Spurred on by my youngest apprentice, Ienzo, I constructed a massive laboratory in the basement of my castle.
 * Unbeknownst to me, my six apprentices then began collecting a large number of subjects on which to perform dangerous experiments into the "darkness of the heart."
 * As soon as I found out, I called my apprentices together and ordered them not only to cease their studies, but to destroy the results of their research thus far.
 * What on earth was happening within the hearts of my six beloved apprentices? While pursuing the mystery of the darkness of the heart, could they themselves have strayed into its depths?
 * Yet I remain the most foolish of all, for having begun these experiments.
 * We are not meant to interfere in the depths of another's heart, no matter what our reasons for doing so...
 * And my error plunged me into despair.
 * A visitor from another world soothed my dejected soul.
 * A tiny king named Mickey came wielding a legendary key — the infamous "Keyblade," said to bring both chaos and prosperity to the world.
 * He was very knowledgeable on many topics, and we deepened our friendship as we conversed companionably.
 * Upon his advice, I decided to review the data obtained at my basement lab.
 * That is when I discovered the "Ansem Reports."
 * Though they bore my name, the only one I had written was number 0.
 * Apparently he had gone on to pen numbers 1 through 8 himself.
 * Yes — the first subject in my foolish experiments.

Secret Ansem Report 3

 * Chaos affect not only this world, but many other worlds besides.
 * In the "Ansem Reports" my apprentice Xehanort had written under my name, I found the records of his hideous experiments along with his hypothesis about the door that had appeared out of the darkness in my basement.
 * All living things have hearts, and all hearts hold darkness deep within.
 * Worlds are no exception. If a world is a being, the heart it holds must be colossal...
 * ...and the darkness at its core must be monstrous indeed.
 * Did Xehanort pass through that door in an attempt to contact that dark realm?
 * No, not only Xehanort.
 * It appears my other five apprentices, believing it was for the sake of research, stared deep into the darkness and were pulled into it.
 * Even, Ienzo, Braig, Dilan, and Aeleus...
 * They have ceased to be human.
 * I, too, have had everything taken away from me, banished to a hollow realm of nothingness.
 * What is Xehanort hoping to gain with my pilfered existence?
 * Will my people cease to smile?
 * If the light of hope has been extinguished, I shall henceforth walk with darkness as a friend.
 * Here, in the realm of nothingness to which I have been relegated.
 * Darkness in the midst of nothing.
 * "Darkness in Zero."
 * Thus, I shall be known as DiZ.
 * Discarding the stolen name "Ansem"...
 * And going in search of revenge.

Secret Ansem Report 4

 * The distant days spent in that beautiful paradise are an illusion to me now.
 * How long have I been here, banished to the realm of nothingness?
 * It is only by relying upon my anger and hatred that I have been able to retain my sense of self here where all existence is nullified.
 * My heart is being overcome with hatred toward my apprentices, possessed by the darkness, and with the anger I feel for stupidly allowing myself to be betrayed.
 * Is this darkness, eating away at my heart?
 * I cannot continue to idle away my time here.
 * What are Xehanort and the others attempting to do?
 * I must unravel the mystery of these Ansem Reports, intercept my apprentices, and defeat them.
 * That is my mission...the only way to repay the world for my sins.
 * Those beings who lack hearts—the Heartless—must be the key.
 * The darkness of the heart, made flesh. Cursed shadows who not only lack hearts, but multiply by seizing hearts from any and all living things.
 * Where have they come from, and where are they going?
 * Three elements combine to create a life: a heart, a soul, and a body.
 * But what of the soul and body left behind when the heart is lost?
 * When the soul leaves the body, its vessel, life gives way to death, but what about when the heart leaves?
 * A being does not perish when its heart leaves its body. The heart alone disappears into the darkness.
 * There is little time.
 * If I remain in this realm much longer, I will certainly learn these answers the hard way.
 * My heart is already a captive of the darkness.

Secret Ansem Report 5

 * In this realm, where all existence has been disintegrated, I have just barely managed to preserve my sense of self by continuing to think and to write.
 * It is a place where even time has lost all meaning. Eternity is as but a moment here.
 * I must make haste. Certainly their plans are already underway.
 * The Heartless must be the key to unraveling this mystery.
 * The six traitors were operating a laboratory that churned out those cursed shadows.
 * Not only did they generate "pureblood" Heartless from living hearts, but they then used those Heartless to synthesize artificial versions of the creatures as well.
 * These synthetic Heartless bore insignias and were called "Emblems."
 * Pureblood or Emblem, these Heartless act only to fulfill their instinctive needs. They single-mindedly detect hearts and swarm around them.
 * A human's commands would be ineffective: the Heartless would easily steal the human's heart and use it to increase their own ranks.
 * But what if an even stronger Heartless was giving the orders?
 * If he cast aside his own soul and body and became a Heartless, wouldn't he able to control the otherwise intractable Heartless?
 * Furthermore, wouldn't he be planning to make use of the creatures' instincts? If the heart-seeking Heartless have their sights set on a larger, more powerful heart, their ultimate goal is crystal-clear.
 * The largest heart in existence—the heart of the world.
 * This is all conjecture, but it would seem he is utilizing the Heartless in his search for a path leading to the heart of the world.

Secret Ansem Report 6

 * My choice to befriend darkness here in the midst of nothingness was a sound one.
 * The moment I stared straight ahead with a calm heart, neither rejecting darkness nor fearing it, I gained a newfound power.
 * A superhuman power—the power of darkness.
 * It is likely Xehanort and the others were enraptured by this power, eventually becoming its prisoners.
 * I do not intend to allow my heart to be devoured by the darkness, as they did, of course.
 * With this new power, I uncovered a "corridor of darkness" that connects the realm of nothingness to the outside world. While it is still difficult to come and go as I please, my banishment is now a thing of the past.
 * To deceive Xehanort and my apprentices, I first used my power to change form before returning to the realm of light.
 * As I had suspected, Xehanort had become a Heartless.
 * Under my name, he commanded other Heartless in quests to snatch away the hearts of many different worlds.
 * At the center of the heart Xehanort has stolen was "Kingdom Hearts," which attracts tremendous darkness itself and attempts to send any and all matter back into its depths.
 * The other five have disappeared. Have they become Heartless, like Xehanort?
 * Or did they vanish after Xehanort exploited them?
 * I became familiar with an unusual "entity" while pursuing the truth.
 * It is the soul and body that remain when a being loses its heart.
 * When a Heartless is born, these entities disappear from the realm of light, to be reborn as entirely new beings in a completely different realm.

Secret Ansem Report 7

 * While beings born of darkness and those lacking hearts may find them convenient, it is dangerous for others to make much use of the corridors of darkness. Darkness erodes the heart.
 * In search of a place to proceed with my research and planning away from prying eyes, I found myself in "Twilight Town." It is a quiet village, forgotten in the chasm between light and darkness. I situated myself in the basement of an abandoned mansion standing beyond the woods.
 * My underground research resulted in one new discovery after another.
 * When a Heartless is born, the body and soul left behind are reborn into this world as a different being.
 * They possess different intentions than their Heartless brethren, and while it is unclear what these sentient "things" are after, it would appear they are responsible for much bedlam in the world.
 * My erstwhile friend the King and his subjects, along with a hero wielding the Keyblade, are battling the Heartless even as a new threat approaches.
 * This new threat...they have given themselves a fitting name, I suppose.
 * These non-beings: "Nobodies."
 * A great number of Nobodies have lost human form, as have the Heartless. Yet the Nobody born of someone with a strong heart retains its shape, with but the faintest visible changes.
 * It appears my betrayers have retained their human forms as Nobodies, and are gathering more followers in hopes of furthering a new scheme.
 * "Organization XIII," formed of 13 Nobodies with my betrayers at its core, has divided into two; they are said to be carrying out some sort of research.
 * Seeking to uncover the plans of this Organization, I have decided to head for where six of its members have gathered. Towering over the outer limits of the realm between darkness and light: Castle Oblivion.

Secret Ansem Report 8

 * It appears that I have been too distracted by the behavior of Xehanort and his cohorts, and the events occurring in their vicinity.
 * My friends' struggle to protect the realm of light from the threat of Heartless is now over, with Xehanort's Heartless—going by the name Ansem, Seeker of Darkness—defeated at last.
 * The other wielder of the Keyblade, this "hero," traveled from world to world sealing up keyholes and laying Heartless low.
 * Meanwhile, the King, who had dived into the realm of darkness, worked with the Keyblade-wielding hero to close the door to Kingdom Hearts from the realms of both darkness and light, thus holding off the threat of tremendous darkness.
 * But there are still a great number of Heartless afoot, and Organization XIII and the Nobodies continue to be active in the shadows.
 * Indeed, the world is still a very dangerous place.
 * We must find a way to do battle with these enemies.
 * Thus I will both make amends and have my revenge.
 * It is for this reason that I infiltrated Castle Oblivion.
 * It consists of 13 floors above and 12 floors below ground, with the contents of its "White Rooms" transforming in response to its visitors' memories. Organization XIII was conducting experiments on memory here.
 * The subject in these experiments, a girl named Naminé, appeared to possess extremely unusual abilities.
 * Were they attempting to derive something from these powers?
 * Refusing to be distracted by Organization XIII, I had returned to my own secret research when a new visitor appeared at the castle today.
 * It was Sora, the Keyblade-wielding hero who had defeated Ansem, and his companions.
 * Deep underground, the stench of darkness arose.
 * All the players are coming together, it would seem.

Secret Ansem Report 9

 * I should have expected nothing less from a Keyblade-wielding hero.
 * Sora and friends defied the machinations of Organization XIII and rescued Naminé.
 * Naminé was a witch who controlled the memories of others.
 * Most likely these powers were achieved through a special process when she was born.
 * Naminé is a Nobody, created when a young girl's heart left her body.
 * Yet she has no corresponding Heartless.
 * This is because the "young girl" in this case was a princess.
 * Kairi, a resident of Radiant Garden over which I had ruled, was one of the Seven Princesses that uphold the realm of light.
 * With no darkness in her heart, Kairi produced no Heartless, and instead of vanishing, her body remained in the realm of light.
 * In other words, both the Nobody called Naminé and the Heartless—proof of a lost heart—are extremely unstable beings who lack the bodies needed to produce a Nobody. Therefore, they also lack Kairi's memories. One reason for this maybe that Kairi's heart did not return to the darkness when separated from her body, but rather migrated to another vessel...deep within Sora's heart.
 * That is, Naminé is an alter ego of the Kairi who has directly interfered with Sora's heart. Could this be why Sora and those hearts are connected to him were able to have their memories controlled?
 * She is a "non-being" in the truest sense of the word; having not even become a Nobody and with nowhere left to go, she is but the most fleeting of shadows.

Secret Ansem Report 10

 * Sora went to sleep in order to recover the memories he had lost in Castle Oblivion. 
 * It would take quite some time to bring back all the memories he had created in his lifetime.
 * But Organization XIII held sway over Castle Oblivion. Sora would need to be kept someplace more secure.
 * I persuaded Naminé to move the slumbering Sora to Twilight Town for safekeeping.
 * Naminé.
 * As I have written before, she is a most unusual being.
 * Born of the same process as a Nobody, but lacking virtually all the elements of a Nobody.
 * Perhaps she continues drawing in hopes of capturing that which she lacks: the memories of others, especially Sora.
 * I have arrived at a hypothesis.
 * I believe that Naminé was born as a special type of Nobody when Sora attacked himself with the Keyblade, causing his and Kairi's hearts to leave their bodies simultaneously.
 * Naminé emerged as Kairi's Nobody...but the body and soul necessary to exist as a Nobody belonged to Sora.
 * When a person's heart is stolen, a Heartless is born with no sense of self, and the body and soul left behind give rise to a Nobody.
 * But what if one willingly releases one's heart from one's body?
 * Sora and Xehanort retained their selfhood even after becoming Heartless.
 * Then there are Kairi and Naminé.
 * Kairi was exceptional for having had no darkness within her heart. Also exceptional was that her heart, once freed, migrated to a new vessel—Sora.
 * The combination of the two theoretically unlikely exceptions may be behind this anomaly.
 * There are matters I must attend to while Sora is sleeping.
 * A new ally has appeared on the scene: Riku.

Secret Ansem Report 11

 * I was reunited with an old friend at Castle Oblivion, but was unable to disclose my identity.
 * If he knew the situation, he would likely try to stop me from carrying out my revenge.
 * As much as I would dearly love to converse with him as in the old days...that is now but a hopeless dream.
 * My friend has been fighting in the realm of darkness. Most likely he found his way there through Traverse Town.
 * Like Castle Oblivion, that village also rests in the cleft between light and dark. It consists of the remnants of worlds whose hearts have been stolen by the Heartless.
 * It is where those who have barely escaped the destruction of their worlds eventually find themselves.
 * This "realm between" is quite unstable, with corridors of darkness appearing from time to time.
 * Whenever a world disappears, some of its inhabitants must arrive here through these corridors. Surely Sora traveled these same corridors of darkness when he first came to Traverse Town.
 * It seems my friend, fighting in the realm of darkness, appeared in Castle Oblivion through a corridor of darkness constructed by Organization XIII.
 * My new ally Riku also effected his return via one of these corridors.
 * He swore to me he would give his all for his best friend Sora.
 * In fact, Sora's memories have been slow to return.
 * Thus I have asked Riku to bring me another Sora—his Nobody.
 * Sora is indispensable if I am to achieve my goal.
 * I require the Keyblade-wielding hero to fly through the realm of light and defeat Organization XIII.

Secret Ansem Report 12

 * Apart from Naminé, Nobodies retain their memories of their time as humans, but Sora's Nobody, Roxas, has lost Sora's memories.
 * This is likely because Sora's time as a Heartless was short, having recovered his heart and returned to his human form soon after leaving behind Roxas, his Nobody.
 * It would seem Roxas is much like Naminé. Naminé is Kairi's Nobody, but came into being via Sora's body and soul.
 * Likewise, Roxas is Sora's Nobody, but was left behind because Sora's Heartless regained human form using Kairi's heart instead of his own.
 * It may be that Sora's memories are slow to return because the half of him that Roxas is still lacking.
 * I must convert Roxas into data and return him to Sora.
 * As a member of Organization XIII, it was exceedingly difficult to bring Roxas in. Having lost to Roxas once, Riku laid everything on the line and used the power of darkness in their second battle, only just managing to bring Roxas back with him.
 * But Organization XIII grows ever nearer. Here, Twilight Town, is where Roxas was reborn as a Nobody.
 * This is where Roxas first encountered Organization XIII and joined its ranks. They are bound to search this place thoroughly.
 * First I shall convert all of Twilight Town into data and construct a "world duplicate" in Sora's memories. I shall place Roxas within that world to live out his days and regain those memories.
 * There is little time.
 * The Organization's schemes must be making steady progress as well.

Secret Ansem Report 13

 * ''Tomorrow Sora awakens.
 * My long and drawn-out revenge is nearing its end.
 * Xehanort, who took everything away from me. Though as a Heartless he is no more, as the leader of Organization XIII his ambition once again is to capture Kingdom Hearts, the most colossal heart of all.
 * His Heartless had attempted to draw out the great darkness of Kingdom Hearts, created from the hearts of all worlds. His Nobody, however, is now almost finished gathering human hearts to be assimilated into Kingdom Hearts as well.
 * The fool!
 * Only one mystery remains.
 * How did Xehanort manage to open the door that appeared in the basement of my castle...?
 * No...any theory posited now, when everything is nearing completion, would be meaningless.
 * Roxas, Ansem, Naminé...
 * They defy all logic, yet there they are: singular exceptions to the rule.
 * The theories proposed by me and by Organization XIII have been blown to pieces by a handful of strong-hearted individuals.
 * Sora, Kairi, Riku.
 * Ah, yes—Riku.
 * Though his heart has its weaknesses, making it prone to darkness, he found support in the hope he discovered beyond suffering.
 * This hope allowed him to stand his ground and turn the darkness in his heart from an enemy into his greatest weapon.
 * When all this is over, it is my fervent hope that he will be able to return with Sora to his island.
 * If I can, I should like to return to Radiant Garden, to look once more upon the beautiful water, the lovely flowers, and the hopeful smiles of the people.
 * Dear King, my friend!
 * I beleve that, at some point in time, you will come across these, my truthful accounts.
 * How I wish I could have chatted with you again.
 * I was a fool, obsessed with revenge.
 * Forgive me.

Trivia

 * Ansem mentions "earlier reports" detailing his research into darkness, though he claims that he only wrote the first report, which merely posed his question. The earlier reports also chronicle experiences that were only his, such as his meeting with King Mickey. While some of this can be explained by Xehanort's assumption of Ansem, which may have led him to pretend to have Ansem's memories as well, it does not explain Ansem's mention of earlier reports. Especially because the pages in Kingdom Hearts were called simply the "Ansem Report", it is possible that there were other side reports that Ansem wrote between Ansem Report 1 and Ansem Report 2.
 * A further inconsistency appears with the mention of Ansem's disciples working with Xehanort to study the Heartless. No mention is made of them in the original report, and indeed, it seems to imply that Xehanort was working completely alone.
