Roxas IS Ventus

[Kingdomxhearts15 0]

Ok, so I've been thinking a lot about this whole thing. I've come to believe that Roxas is actually Ventus. This is my reasoning for believing this: Sora set his heart free, and Ventus' heart was inside of his, so technically he set Ven's heart free, so what if Roxas IS Ventus. The whole memory loss thing would make absolute sense. It just all adds up in my head, so that's my theory. Tell me what you think, and sorry if there is a thread about this already.

[AJTREY 70]

And Ventus's body? We already know that its in Castle Oblivion.

[Ventuswind 4]

I've actually thought a variation of this theory but it makes no sense. My theory is that Roxas is Sora's and Ventus' nobody because it was his heart released but Sora's body.

[Lt Ultima 82]

roxas is ven's nobody if anything

[Azure Flame 670]

Roxas is Sora's Nobody with Ven's heart inside him. Only Sora and Kairi's hearts left him in Hollow Bastion. Kairi's heart went in her, Sora's turned into the Shadow we played as, Ven's stayed inside Sora's body, which then turned into Roxas. With Ven's heart inside him, it changed his appearance to Ven's, which is why Roxas still had a heart, even though he was a Nobody. If Ven's heart had left Sora, it would have returned to his body.

[Wolf on the Run 391]

i though we where already told that they were to different people well besides the fact that vens heart was inside roxas totally different

[Kinode 3,056]

Interesting. EXCEPT you guys forgot SOME THINGS.

Ventus's heart is PURE LIGHT.

And it joined with Sora's right?

SO... by now, we can tell that that heartless was Sora's. Not Ventus's.

It can't only be ventus's nobody, but it might be both of them.

If we look well, Roxas is a mixture of ventus's Heart, Sora's heart, and Ventus's spirit.

 

Maybe, there is a fragment of Ventus's heart that didn't return to Sora after he got his heart back. which went into Roxas.

That fragment probably didn't have any important memories, but more basic ones. ( such as weilding the Kyblade )

That would make sense, wouldn't it?

How can it return if it never even left? As I said in my last post, Ven's heart stayed in Sora when he released his and Kairi's. If it had left, it would have gone to Ven.

 

well in bbsfm secret episode ens body did disappear and unless squares is trying to firetruck with use then it disappeared

 

That scene was just for show. If you remember, Sora also dissappeared. It's like the BBS secret ending when it showed Namine, Axel, Roxas, Xion, Ven, and Terra, even though they were all gone in one way or another. It was just to show those that were hurting.

ya know...ive been thinking that too but im thinking Xion is ven. because in 358/2 days xion looks lik ven near the end. I dunno just a guesstament:)

[Tails 6,690]

Sora set his heart free, and Ventus' heart was inside of his, so technically he set Ven's heart free, so what if Roxas IS Ventus.

Actually no. The reason why Roxas looks like Ventus is Ven had connected his heart with Sora's heart back in BBS. Then, when Sora had stabbed himself with the keyblade, it released Kairi's and Ven's heart. Kairi's heart went back to her body, and Ven's heart took Roxas's body as a vessel since Sora had released Ven's and Kairi's hearts, along with his as well. But Ven isn't Roxas. The reason why Roxas looks like Ventus is because of the fact that Ven's heart resided within Roxas after Sora stabbed himself and the fact that Sora's and Ven's hearts are connected.

 

The whole memory loss thing would make absolute sense.

Actually, the reason why Roxas doesn't remember anything from his "past" was because of the fact that Sora got his body back when Kairi hugged him. So since he had his body back, he also had his memories back as well. Which is why Roxas just can't remember a thing.

 

ya know...ive been thinking that too but im thinking Xion is ven. because in 358/2 days xion looks lik ven near the end. I dunno just a guesstament:)

Xion is not Ven, the only reason why she took on the form of ventus is because it depends on who people see her as. Like Saix, he only saw her as a puppet. As well as Xigbar and Xemnas, who sometimes saw Xion as Ventus in their eyes.

 

Ven's stayed inside Sora's body, which then turned into Roxas. With Ven's heart inside him, it changed his appearance to Ven's, which is why Roxas still had a heart, even though he was a Nobody.

No, Ven's heart actually took shelter within Roxas actually. Which is why Roxas looks like Ven and also why he was able to "feel".

[Azure Flame 670]

That's just how Xigbar sees her, since he knew Ven. Xion was created after Ven went into a coma, so she can't be hm.

 

No, Ven's heart actually took shelter within Roxas actually. Which is why Roxas looks like Ven and also why he was able to "feel".

 

Actually, Roxas was created from Sora's body. If Ven's heart was released, it wouldn't go to Roxas, it would go back to Ven. Therefore, Ven's heart never left Sora.

[Mog 97]

Roxas should've looked the exact same as Sora,but Ven's hearts presence at the time of the break up gave the nobody Vens appearance instead of Sora. Note that Roxas is a special nobody,he coexisted in physical form at the same time as Sora(ending of the first game and com,up to the start of the second game).

 

This is unusual because a nobodys body is the one that had just lost it's heart.Sora lay unconscious when his heart left. He should have now awakened as his nobody,but was revived too soon. His real nobody,had somehow manifested a physical body of it's own,when really it should have been Sora's body. The 2 physical forms existed at the same time. It is shown that Roxas can feel emotion,which is a first for nobodys according to diz. Because of Roxas looking like Ven,sounding like Ven and being able to dual wield we assume that Vens heart is inside Roxas,giving him emotion and the ability to wield a second keyblade. I might be right in saying Nomura confirmed this.

 

Although Ven and Roxas share the same appearance,they are technically not the same person. Ven had a proper body and a heart. Roxas has a body from unusual circumstances,perhaps the break up produced a new body for Roxas seeing as Sora was revived soon afterward ,and of course sora got his own body back,leaving Roxas with a replicate of Soras body which was influenced by Vens heart thus changing it's appearance.

 

Another difference is personality between the two. Ven acts childish and carefree while Roxas is more tempered and mature.

Sora didn't lay unconcious, his body dissappeared and became Roxas. If anyone got a new body, it was Sora, since his body turned into Roxas and Ven's heart stayed in the body, so Roxas had his heart.

[bambii 34]

I've thought about this before. I think, in essence, Roxas is Ventus. In other words, they share the same heart and the same body. However, Roxas developed his own personality, his own memories, his own friends, and thus became a different person, in a sense. Which makes the situation rather confusing. It is as if a man suffers from a severe situation of irreversible amnesia and has to sculpt an entirely new personality for himself.

 

And Ventus's body? We already know that its in Castle Oblivion.

 

Well that's just the thing, it is my belief that Roxas is actually using Ventus' body. Perhaps this is what is implied in the BBS FM secret ending, when we see Ventus' body disappear from the Chamber of Waking. Perhaps it went to Roxas when he was... "born."

 

I've actually thought a variation of this theory but it makes no sense. My theory is that Roxas is Sora's and Ventus' nobody because it was his heart released but Sora's body.

 

I think it is important to understand that it was not Ventus' heart that was consumed by darkness when Sora became a heartless. It was Sora's alone, and the heart(s) that had taken refuge within him were released (as is the power of the Keyblade of People's Hearts). Kairi's as we know, was released and returned to her body. Ventus', too, we can assume, was released. So Ventus, his heart not having been consumed by darkness but purely been released (like Kairi's), does not have a nobody. It is plausible, however, that Ventus' heart, due to its residence within Sora's body, naturally migrated with Sora's body as it went off to become a nobody. HOWEVER. We know that Sora actually got his body back when Kairi miraculously saved him. This does not, moreover, negate his nobody having been born. We can speculate many things, perhaps from the beginning Sora's body changed its form to resemble Ventus as it became a nobody due to Ventus' heart, and furthermore remained with Ventus' heart as Sora' nobody after Sora regained his human form. This, however, would mean that Sora now has TWO bodies: the one which he uses, and the one which his nobody uses (that has taken a form resembling Ventus). This doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Rather, it is my belief that after Sora regained his human form (thus getting his body back), his nobody (now lacking a body)/Ventus' heart naturally migrated back to Ventus' own body (meaning that initially, Sora's nobody, using Sora's body, maintained Sora's actual appearance, until that body was returned to Sora). Thus, Roxas is born, harboring both Ventus' heart and body, but yet still being Sora's nobody. Or something along those lines.

No Ven's body remains in Castle Oblivion. In Days, Roxas goes to CO and immediatly faints, because he has Ven's heart and its' so close to his body. He fainted because Ven's heart was reacting to the body. If he had Ven's body, that wouldn't have happened.

I honestly like this theory, good references, proof.

 

Without good proof as to why it isn't true this could be a plausibility.

 

Ventus =/= Roxas

 

So, Roxas is Sora's nobady, had his body, but Kairi got it back, so Roxas stole Ventus's body?

Read my last post. Roxas doesn't have Ven's body, it's still in CO.

what does that mean in recoded when (recoded spoiler) roxas is guiding you through c.o. and he doesnt pass out from being so close to ven's body; does it mean that vens body isnt in the dataspace or his body isnt in c.o. anymore

Castle Oblivion in Days is just data, as is Roxas. It has nothing to do with Ven, as Namine created it to test if Sora was strong enough for the memories.

[Keyblader 325]

No offense, but I honestly am getting upset that this has been brought up again. It's not possible for Ventus to be Roxas for two reasons. One, Ventus is asleep in the Chamber of Waking (or Awakening I can't remember) in Castle Oblivion, so it is in no way possible for Ventus to be Roxas. Second, recall that in Birth by Sleep, it shows that Sora (as a young child) is at his Awakening Platform (a.k.a. his heart, so it's basically more of a heart felt experience [unintentional pun]) and takes in Ventus' Heart. When he releases his own heart (as well as Kairi's, which he intended to do) Ventus' heart remained within his body (At least, that is what I and many others presume.) That body became Roxas, of course. Now, as I have begun to understand it by the insight of the wiser members on this site such as Reversal and many others, the heart basically acts as a blue print for the person it resides in. As there was no other heart within Sora's new Nobody Roxas, Ventus' heart went into action and caused Roxas to take on the appearance of Ventus, and you can also see similarities in the clothes they wear, it seems to be a mixture between Ventus' and Sora's clothing, though Ventus' clothing seemed to have more of an effect. The reason why Sora had a body but yet Roxas still existed was because Kairi's PoH powers created a shell for Sora's Heartless (At least that's how I understand it.) though he was still a Heartless in a sense.

 

I know that what I have just said has been said before, but a little back up clarification can't hurt right?

ok first thing vens BODY is alseep in c.o. so it is possible that roxas is simply ven in a different body, but through memories gained in days he seems to be a completely different person, because one is shaped by their experiences. Vens HEART however just transfered bodies when it went inside sora, so it IS possible for roxas to be ven when sora released all the heartS he was carrying.

No. Roxas is his own person with a different personality. Roxas is more gloomy and depressed, while Ven is more happy and excited like Sora.

Frankly, not much is changed either way, beside the quantity of existing bodies (which, in the situation you're proposing, is higher than would naturally make sense). Nevertheless, Roxas fainting in CO could be due to a number of reasons. It could be due to his heart (Ven's heart) resonating with his home (CO = The Land of Departure), it could be because that was where his body had lain dormant, or it could be because of Sora's presence there (although it is likely that by this point, DiZ has already transferred Sora's pod to Twilight Town). It is unclear, in any case. It is, as you stated, very well possible that Roxas' fainting was due the presence of Ven's heart in the castle. And if this happens to be the case, we can conclude that the only difference is that Roxas' body is Sora's body with the appearance of Ven's, and that, somehow, Sora (or Roxas) developed their own new body when Sora regained his; Ven's body remains in the Chamber of Waking. This still, in my opinion, does not change the fact that we can, theoretically, say that Roxas is Ventus, in the sense that Roxas literally has Ven's heart. When Ven's heart was within Sora's body, it was just resting there - Sora's heart was in control. But now, Ven's heart has a body all to itself. If I'm not mistaken, the heart is what determines who one is. The body and the soul just act as the means to make it happen. (On a side note, we can come to the question of what happened to Ven's soul/mind/will/whatever you want to refer to it as. Clearly, it did not stay with his body, seeing as his body is utterly lifeless. Likely enough, it went to Sora, and later went on to Roxas. We don't know enough about the soul/mind/will to determine much, yet). But returning to the original question, I maintain that, in essence, Roxas is Ventus because they share the same heart (and a heart is who someone is, not so much the body and the soul - though, again, perhaps the soul more so, which could, hypothetically, be a contributing factor as to why their personalities are different). Again, however, Roxas became his own person with his own personality, memories, and mannerisms, making him quite different than Ven. From this perspective, they are, undoubtedly, two different people.
