What's In An Eye?





       Have you ever wondered why Ansem and Xemnas, despite being Xehanort's Heartless and Nobody, don't share his eye color? Everyone who's possessed by Master Xehanort seems to have the eyes of a distinct bright yellow: Saix, Xigbar, Terra after his body was taken, etc. But for whatever reason, Xemnas and Ansem's eyes are a complete, deep orange. In fact, they match Ansem the Wise's eyes more. But why? Is it just a coincidence? Is there even such thing as coincidences in this series? For my second inquiry, exactly WHY did Terranort's eyes turn brown? I know that many believe it's caused by memory loss,  but why default to brown? Terra's eyes weren't even that color before possession, they were blue....I also question the idea that Xehanort somehow possesses the ability to hide his eye color. Even if that were true, why did he need to? It's not like he was on a watchlist or anything, so why go through the trouble of hiding his eyes? Is it really possible that Xehanort's eyes were once brown, and that they're current yellow hue is only a symptom of the Darkness? Further  proof of this could be the fact that most creatures of Darkness possess the same eyes of bright yellow, such as various Heartless, and even Vanitas, who was created from the Darkness in Ventus's Heart. With this evidence, it it truly safe to say that Yellow Eyes are just a trait of Darkness?

        It's certainly something to speculate...but in truth, it still doesn't really answer why Xemnas and Ansem SoD have eyes that resemble Ansem the Wise, and not Xehanort. Could this be the reason why we've yet to see a flashback of Terra-Xehanort attacking the apprentices in anything other than a first-person perspective? What is Nomura REALLY hiding from us?  


That's not my name. I'm not..."Xehanort."

  1. I am STILL wondering this. I'm only a few worlds in to KHIII so if it's been revealed, I don't know the reason yet.
