Ansem specifically stated a boy didn't say anything by name, could have been any Keyblade wielder in fact the description was so vague, that Ventus could have fit the description, or Keyblade Wielder #1243 a guy named Foof could have been saving worlds in Sora's stead. Therefore it's not plothole, she was tearing up because he was her hope, he was still doing what he is doing, and considering the realm of darkness messes with memories it's not a stretch to say that a passing detail of someone she barely knows would have slipped under her radar. Now onto the Xehanort report he's a scientist pretty much what he said was based on theory, doesn't mean he didn't have faults in the report himself, and he himself has said he was way too eager to achieve his goal of getting the X-Blade, him finding another way isn't a plot hole or inconsistency either if anything it ties back to KH1. Also the hallucinations he doesn't know most of those people, hell out of the people he knew it was only Namine, Roxas, he barely knew Aqua, and she as hell didn't know Terra, so of course he wouldn't feel the need to mention it, he himself didn't know what to make of it, and probably thought his mission would contain the key. Also on the Destiny Island scene where Mickey asked her the names, she said Sora and Riku, and Mickey stated that both were helping him, Ansem said a singular BOY, why on earth would she get Riku or Sora from that when they were both teamed up with Mickey. Not to mention the last time she saw the two they were kids, and barely saw Riku. So of course she's going to be surprised that Sora is taking charge bringing happiness to worlds, and killing the darkness by himself, and taking charge without Mickey. This isn't a plot hole or an inconsistency if anything I would argue it would be inconsistent if she did know it was Sora, since it wasn't him by himself that was doing this, Ansem said singular boy with friends, the only people that would fit the description in her mind would be Ven or Terra with a few Keyblade wielders, not Sora or Riku when Mickey was obviously in charge. Not to mention that she didn't know Sora received any training on how to use the Keyblade, where as Ven and Terra did, so of course Sora wouldn't come to her mind. 2 Hero of Light XIV and Krown M reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They all say that. Mind you that time in the Realm of Darkness is much slower so what seemed like just recently in the RoD, was a few years ago in the RoL. I mean, Aqua learned that she had been gone for a decade. It didn't seem like that long ago she fell to darkness. Besides, we don't know what she did or where she was between Destiny Islands being restored and Blank Points. It turned out the time between the two was the span from KH to Re:coded. Heck, I could have forgotten what Mickey told me before after trekking through the RoD. Also, I don't think Aqua knew of the events of Re:CoM, KH2, and Re:coded. She just knew that the worlds fell and she needed to help close the door. That and she didn't know Sora or even Riku would save her until Ansem told her.

I am just using data. I didn't say you said anything like that. I don't recall Mickey telling her anything important to her survival and to help her get out of the RoD. He told her what he was after, what he needed to do, and who was helping him. I don't recall him saying anything on Xehanort and how to get out. He in fact said he never thought about how to get out he was so focused on getting in. As for her, she learned from Mickey that Sora is a Keyblade wielder, yes that is true, but as for knowing what happened between her meeting with Mickey and Ansem, that's different.

SuperSmashDrake 48 Posted January 25, 2017 I think it makes sense even with the new information from 0.2. Aqua has been in the Realm of Darkness for a while, without the protection from a black coat or any special clothes. Clearly she asks Ansem the Wise if it's Terra or Ven because she wants to know if Mickey, Sora, and Riku found them. They are the biggest parts of her life, she just wants to make sure they are okay and that her sacrifice wasn't in vein. I assume she cries when she finds out Sora and Riku are saving the worlds, as she saw them do it once with Mickey. She probably assumes that they have become Keyblade masters and are stopping all the threats in the Realm of Light, while knowing that they will be the ones to save Terra and Ven (as she probably knows Terra passed the Keyblade down to Riku, and she didn't give it to Sora).

Heck if anything he's dumber than freakin Okuyasu from Jojo Part 4 ........and I like Okuyasu tho No, Ventus is only the reason he can dual-wield, if it was about the Keyblade in general, they would've left it at *magic*. Also, Ventus is not a complete waste of space. I agree that Nomura pulls a lot out of his ass, but he does manage to connect some points rather nicely, too. Xehanort said time and time again that he takes a lot of precautions, opens up a lot of paths he may wander upon in case one of his paths closes in front of him. It makes sense for him to try a dozen ways to summon the X-Blade instead of just one and failing with it. Corrupting one person also seems a lot safer than dividing one's heart into 13 peaces to control 12 people, so it figures he would go for that first. Yes. there are sadly some plot holes with Blank Points, Aqua should've known that something is happening outside because she felt it during 0.2, but her surprise over Sora being the one who saves the worlds (a boy who is around 14-15 years old to her knowledge, just as young as Ven and, also to her knowledge, probably untrained) can be quite genuine. It even makes more sense for her to cry at the mention of his name after 0.2 because she already knows he is a Keyblade wielder and succeeded in closing the door with Mickey. Sora's hallucinations were exactly that to him. Hallucinations. He was having the weirdest dream, he recalls hearing Riku's voice, but I think he never mentions that he saw something. For all we know he might have forgotten. He might've pushed it away because he was still dealing with Roxas's pain. He just might've forgotten Aqua and Terra (he was 4 after all), he saw their faces for such a short time, he might've forgotten them long before he woke up.

Plus, technically it wasn't a complete waste of time since they did produce a X-blade (although a fake one, but it was still powerful), so if Ven comes back so would Vanitas and then a repeat of BBS would happen, but this time I feel Vanitas would win because he would have help this time and then there would possibly be two X-blades on the battlefield.

Alja 61 Posted January 25, 2017 Well, the long pause where Aqua is sobbing quietly and Ansem is just staring at her implies pretty much that he said the name out loud. Everything else was just to make the scene more dramatic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khsg 73 Posted January 25, 2017 In Blank Points, Aqua isn't as surprised as you say she is. When she hears the name Sora, she starts crying. That's not surprise; that's emotion. So, no plot hole here... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dio Brando 5,810 Posted January 25, 2017 He said he acted rashly and so that is why he used Ventus and Vanitas. He started getting ahead of himself and was doing it wrong. As result of his actions, Ventus sleeps in the Chamber of Waking. Yes, Sora is currently not the... sharpest... knife in the drawer, but come KH3, he'll be forced to become sharper. Well if the reason is that he's getting old....he could've just....start possessing a young body,form Organization XIII and never bother with Ventus as an apprentice in the first place I hope that in KH3 either Xehanort or the MoM would provide enough threat for Sora and not just die easily cuz they're the bad guys and he's good........I want them to make Sora suffer and have a taste of what the other felt In Blank Points, Aqua isn't as surprised as you say she is. When she hears the name Sora, she starts crying. That's not surprise; that's emotion. So, no plot hole here... Emotion for what?She only knew the boy for 5 minutes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, he could have created thirteen darknesses and capture seven lights, but remember, he wanted the X-blade immediately and started acting as he put it "rashly" and "lost sight of the correct way to achieve my goal". That's why he used Ventus and Vanitas instead. If I were Nomura, I would make the final bosses more difficult than the rest of the games. Not impossible, but forcing us to work for it. 1 DanceLouisDance reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't mean as final bosses.....but as enemies Capture his friends or turn them against him..........anything that a villain would do to mess up with the mind of the protagonist Not just set there and shout darkness darkness darkness And the whole acted rashly thing is a really poor excuse for him in terms of writing Cuz with a young body he has all the time in the world to do it as shown when he became Ansem's Apprentice Edited January 25, 2017 by Smash Mega Koopa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We got a taste of Xehanort's darkness in BbS and what he did in HD3D so he has got to do more dark acts. Well, wouldn't you start doing things you wouldn't do if there was something you have been obsessed with getting? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well maybe but I'd make sure I get the real thing and not a bootleg nerfed version And again if he knew the true method all along,why write Report Number VII as if fusing two hearts of light and dark is the only way when he knew the real way from his master(whom I'm assuming is Luxu) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obsessions can be irrational can they not? Remember, even in KH, humans are imperfect there too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KH3 better explain firetrucking everything and leave no plot hole unexplained otherwise I'll lose my mind Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
