This observation stems from the established lore of the "Black Coats" that are prevalent throughout the Kingdom Hearts series. It is stated that these coats help to protect the individuals who wear them from being overwhelmed (consumed) by the Darkness as they travel through it. Another fair, and smart element of the story, as we see many characters using these coats to their advantage....However, I can't help but cock my head curiously to the side when I see Darkness itself sporting this savvy garment at the end Dream Drop Distance:
Everyone who is familiar with the KH series knows very well that Ansem is a Heartless: a Darkness-born creature that's given life when a human loses their Heart. If this is surely the case, why is he wearing one? What benefit could he possibly gain from wearing one? During his first debut into the game, and during his battle with Riku, he isn't wearing it....so what changed?
Mid-battle, a defiant Riku clearly calls out "You're part of my Heart now! Part of the Light!" I wonder...by being conquered by Riku once and for all, could Ansem SoD have possibly.....grown a Heart of his own? Is that even possible for a Heartless to do? I suppose if Nobody's can regrow Hearts, then it's not entirely implausible is it?
Or perhaps....the possessed, cloak-wearing Riku of Kingdom Hearts 2 snuck in among the 13 Darknesses without being noticed? If time travel is a factor, it's not entirely implausible....
Stay Uncanny~
