Line 353: Line 353:
* 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's Report", it is possible that there were other side reports that Ansem wrote between Ansem's Report 1 and Ansem's Report 2.

* A further inconsistency appears with the mention of Ansem's disciples working with Xehanort to study the Heartless. In the original report, it seems to imply that Xehanort was working completely alone. In addition, Ansem indicates that he was unaware of the results of his apprentice's research and Xehanort's fraudulent additions to his report until after meeting with King Mickey, while in Mickey's flashback, Ansem mentions many of the topics covered by Xehanort's reports, and Xehanort himself mentions having presented his experiment to Ansem previously.<!--Anyone have a solution for this?-->

* In the Japanese version, the reports from the first game are numbered differently; the first report (report 1) is numbered as "report 0" and so forth.
