KHBbS About our Master Tactician...

[Dave 5,715]

So, Xehanort's plan in BBS requires heavily on trickery and deceit: no one must know that he's up to something, he must remain inconspicuous, and, as he says himself, he has an image to keep up. Most of all, he can't let Eraquas in on the plan, because this is the one man capable of stopping him faster than anyone else, be it in handling Terra, Ven, and Aqua differently, or taking on the old coot himself. Everything relies on everything going according to plan, with no one suspecting Xehanort until it's too late.

 

Here's the thing: Xehanort blows it within the first fifteen minutes of the game.

 

At the Mark of Mastery, Eraquas arranges for his pupils to fight a bunch of light balls, which suddenly, and much to Eraquas's shock, get infused with Darkness and start to go haywire. Now, assuming that Eraquas didn't get to his position of Keyblade Master based on bribes and actually possesses a degree of common sense, he ought to sit down and ponder the following:

 

-The Land of Departure isn't exactly a well advertised world. No one is coming in that isn't supposed to be there.

-Within the testing room, there are five people.

-Eraquas can be reasonably certain that he isn't the one screwing up his own test.

-Two of these people are taking the exam, and have little reason to make it harder for themselves.

-One of them is a novice, not possessing nearly the power or ability to possess the light balls.

-And one of them is a long term, outspoken advocate of Darkness, once blew half of Eraquas's face off with a Dark spell, and, in spite of his alleged repenting, is still the only other person is this room capable of such power.

 

It is only because the power of common sense eludes Eraquas and the rest of the team that Xehanort is not immediately found out and held under great suspicion.

Eraqus lacks common sense it would seem

[Daniel Black 1,981]

Or as how in my country says... "Se hizo de la vista gorda"

[Shulk 8,623]

Eraqus lacks common sense it would seem

More like the whole KH cast in general, nothing they do makes much sense. They all live by Nomura logic...

I noticed this, too. lol

Yeah, i noticed this too. I was like "WTF?" Seriously. He just has as much luck as Sora, thats the only reason he didn't get caught.

[Xail 113]

eraqus is as old as xehanort so he should have a bad memory

[Henne 150]

I thought, only we as the player/s could see the darkness, while Eraqus might just felt that there is SOMEWHERE something dark - as in Terra.

 

 

Edit:I am more confused by the whole "Master Xena has gone missing!" - he was there just a minute ago, how can you say that he has gone missing, hello?

I thought about this too and fully agree.
