Mysteries of the Heart: Much "Ado" About Coats


       In the game Birth by Sleep, there is a Secret Episode that can be unlocked upon completion of certain specifications. Within this Secret Episode, we witness intricate dialogue between both Aqua and Ansem the Wise; and it is through this conversation that we learn that Ansem W. is indeed responsible for creating the infamous Organization 13 coats. However, we also see very similar Black Coats being worn by the Master of Masters and Luxu maaaaaany years before in the timeline of Kingdom Hearts: Chi/ Unchained Key. Therefore I ask: How and Where did Ansem the Wise get the information to replicate these coats? If he stumbled across the information while studying Darkness, then how is it he knows about the Coats, but not about the men who originally wore them, and any other Chi/ Unchained Key related lore? What are the chances of someone from back then even passing down such instructions? Did they know that it would be relevant to the present time?


Is it possible that Ansem knew more than he let on?


       I have the same question regarding Master Xehanort’s Coat. At the beginning of   Birth by Sleep, we see him wearing his own Black Coat while carrying Ventus to Destiny Islands. If he supposedly hadn’t met Ansem the Wise yet, where did HE get a coat?  Luxu was told to ensure that the Keyblade No Name was continuously passed down, but did he also pass down information regarding Coat creation? Or, if Xehanort learned just from studying the Darkness like Ansem, how is it that he couldn’t make the coats for Organization 13 himself? Why make Ansem do it? Is it because of the memory loss?



Shall we ever know?  Perhaps some answers lie within that "secret data" Ansem left  Sora...
