Talk:Dark Figure

Ability section
Should it have an ability section? After all he can disconnect from Xehanort's body and attack for itself--Xabryn 20:33, January 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * If we haven't gotten an official name from BBS, then I don't think we should be calling it "Guardian". Furthermore, if we can definitely prove that World of Chaos is the guardian, we should just merge the two articles.
 * However, the end of Kingdom Hearts clearly has the World of Chaos exploding, so it would make it odd that Riku and Ansem resummon the thing in the next three games. Glorious  CHAOS!  22:21, January 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * True, but we have enough evidence on the contrary that it's the "Guardian." If more than half its appearances call it so... True, that is a tad akward, but it's the same Guardian over and over again. You could say its Re:CoM and CoM versions are memory-based considering Ansem was defeated and it was Riku's memories given form that were troubling him. The Guardian, you could say, was merely a side-effect of the Riku-Ansem ordeal, and as for the World of Chaos, it's as much a part of it AND an original character as Xehanort's Heartless is. I see no sense in such a merge, while at the same time, I do. Now I'm confused... - EternalNothingnessXIII 22:27, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

A few stuff on this....
Regardless of what the Guardian is, it should be mentioned that Terranort is not able to summon it until turning Master Xehanort's Keyblade onto himself and releasing one of the hearts he was harboring within. But it really would make sense for the Guardian to be the Heartless of Master Xehanort. Terranort uses Master Xehanort's Keyblade for two reasons:

1. Terra's armor, the Lingering Sentiment, retains Terra's emotions and Keyblade.

2. Master Xehanort's heart is controlling Terra's body, thus Terranort wields Master Xehanort's Keyblade.

With this in mind, when Terranort turns Master Xehanort's Keyblade onto himself, a heart is very clearly released, Master Xehanort's Keyblade disappears and the Guardian emerges from the Darkness. Once Terranort and the Guardian are defeated, the Guardian begins to fade back into the Darkness, but drags Terra with it. Then Aqua chases them into the dark and uses her Keyblade and armor to send Terra back to the Realm of Light. From there Terra has forgotten his memories and begins a new life as 'Xehanort.' This also would explain why Xehanort can no longer summon a Keyblade:

1. Terra's Keyblade belongs to the Lingering Sentiment.

2. Master Xehanort has become a Heartless.

3. Master Aqua now uses Master Eraqus' Keyblade, whose heart resides within Xehanort.

The last part is what would become of the Guardian, if it truly is Master Xehanort's Heartless. Because Terra's heart was so open to dark influences and Pureblood Heartless are the darkness found within hearts brought to life, perhaps the Guardian slithered back into Terra's body and then into his heart. Here it would sync with the Darkness within Terra's heart so when Xehanort would become a Heartless, the Heartless would be Terra and Master Xehanort's.XYZ. 04:26, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, there is some speculation, but what we know to be true is that Terranort used Master Xehanort's Keyblade to release a heart from Terra's body, thus causing Xehanort's Keyblade to disappear and the Guardian materialized. This is fact and should be stated on the page.XYZ. 04:29, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

But it isn't revealed, which heart he released, is it?

Is the template above the page supposed to be in the chronological order of the story or the order in which the games were release?Masgrande 05:19, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Similarities in attacks?
Shouldn't it be safe to say that the two energy balls the Guardian "throws" across the floor at you and coming up from the ground multiple times creating small shockwaves appear in all of BBS, KH1, and both versions of KH:COM? I am SERIOUSLY seeing similarities with these two attacks in all three "incarnations" of the Guardian, regardless of who uses it. Does anyone agree with me?

Check the opening paragraph of the "Abilities" section. 23:10, December 6, 2010 (UTC)

Not only attacks, it is also slightly similar to Darkside. It has the heart-hole in it, and looks like a tinier, upgraded version of it.

Why is it referred to as...
A symbiote? A) That is a Spiderman Universe Term B) It is used in the wrong context anyways... ( So can I go and change it? I would right now but I don't know what to call it. Hige unari 18:21, February 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's a real term. So, no. Not unless you can find a more appropriate term. -- 18:36, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

Heartless or not?
Is there any sure evidence whether or not the Guardian is a Heartless, or just a creature of Darkness?

Because before BBS was released, this thing was called a Heartless, and it does resemble Neoshadows an awful lot, not to mention we do know that Pureblood Heartless existed before Xehanort became Ansem. Where did the idea come from that the Guardian was NOT a Heartless?

I'm just asking out of curiosity. --88.195.19.59 22:27, 4 May 2012 (UTC)


 * It's obviously a Heartless, it looks like a pureblood and is composed out of the same stuff as one as well as the fact that it has a hollow heart and is attached to a Heartless and a Heartless battleship.--58.7.111.194 11:41, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

World of Chaos and Heartless

 * 1) Do we have any evidence for the World of Chaos and the guardian being the same? If so, this should just be merged to "World of Chaos". If not, then we shouldn't be implying they are.
 * 2) Why are we claiming this is not a Heartless? It is an integral part of a being that is explicitly a Heartless (Ansem SoD), and Riku can summon it because he contains traces of that Heartless within him. If there's no specific evidence calling it "not a Heartless", then it makes no sense to me to claim it is not. If this is a discussion we've had in the past, can someone link me to it? 03:43, 23 September 2013 (UTC)


 * What about its appearance in BBS? -- 05:38, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
