FiGPiN has revealed a trio of new Kingdom Hearts-themed pins, them being Kingdom Hearts II Riku, a Shadow Heartless, and Mickey! All three of these pins are exclusive to Target stores, with the Kingdom Hearts II Riku and Shadow Heartless pins being available today! There is currently no word on when the Mickey pin will be available to pick up in stores. These pins are not viewable on FiGPiN's website, but due to their prior Kingdom Hearts-themed pins being $15.00, that same price applying here for each of the pins seems likely. FiGPiN also teased that there will be another character exclusively making its way to their website, but due to their vague wording, it is unknown if this upcoming character will be Kingdom Hearts related or not.

Chapter 1: Green Hill Race! It was over thirteen months since the events of Sonic Forces, the world had been rebuilt and Eggman was nowhere to be found in sight, everything was nice and quiet...almost TOO quiet for Sonic's liking. Wanting to feel the rush of the wind on his face like before, Sonic decides to sprint through his favorite spot, Green Hill Zone, where there awaiting him at the very end of the track was none other then his arch-rival: Shadow the Hedgehog! shockingly, Shadow reveals that he too is bored with the way things currently are and thus had decided to approach Sonic and demand a race from him. Whoever wins the race has to admit that the other Hedgehog is the fastest in the whole world, taking this challenge to heart, Sonic hotheadedly agrees to Shadow's want of a race, falling hook, line and sinker for his bait...watching the race in the distance was Amy, soon joined by both Tails and Knuckles, of whom were eager to see how would the race turn out. As the three watched Sonic and Shadow race at their maximum speed, barely being able to keep their eyes on them, Knuckles thinks on about the other Hedgehog that was with everyone not too long ago, Silver the Hedgehog, of whom after the Eggman crisis involving the Phantom Ruby had been averted had returned back to his future to make sure that everything was a-okay. Amy wonders on how is Silver currently doing these days? Meanwhile... Silver in the future 200 years from now is seen laying on the ground, all beaten, bruised and battered, having been single handed defeated by a both strange and mysterious silhouette standing above him without any help whatsoever, as Silver tries to catch a glimpse at this unknown figure, this certain individual reveals himself to be...Sonic!? To be Continued. Chapter 2: Silver, To the Future! Going back thirteen months ago before the world was restored after the Eggman Empire had finally been defeated, Silver is greeted by all of his friends who give him their best wishes and regards on a safe trip home towards the future. Upon returning to the future, Silver had seen that the world was now restored back to normal thanks to Sonic having defeated Infinite and destroying the Phantom Ruby, thus averting the crisis altogether...however, a year and a month later, another terrible crisis was beginning to unfold... Criminals calling themselves the "Seven Deadly Sonics" had appeared and had started terrorizing everyone, all the while besmirching the world's greatest hero's name that they used for their group's name. Silver, not standing by and letting these evildoers get away with their carnage faces them head onward with the help of Blaze of whom was just conveniently visiting Silver's future from her parallel dimension of Sonic's world. Working together, Silver and Blaze fought off the Seven Sonics until eventually, their leader had appeared...masking himself with a cloak, as black, as night itself to cover his face, he fights Blaze after taunting her and Blaze herself falling for it despite Silver's warnings, only to end up severely hurt by this masked person upon noticing Blaze's heightened emotions...Silver, enraged at the sight of seeing his friend hurt right before his very eyes unleashes his full Psychokinetic abilities, launching debris one after another at this very strange silhouette person. Ultimately in the end however, this person unleashes the full might of his powers, destroying everything within a near mile radius of him, leaving only his Seven Sonics, the unconscious Blaze and a injured Silver intact. As Silver tries to figure out the identity of this person by tearing away his cloak, he finds out that he bares the face of none other then the world's greatest hero...Sonic the Hedgehog! but how could this be? Sonic was already dead by the time Silver had returned to the future, which leads to the question: just who is this mystery Hedgehog and why does he bare Sonic's visage!? To be Continued. Chapter 3: His Name is "Emerald"... As Silver desperately tries to figure out who this mystery Sonic is, the mystery Sonic in question starts to speak and answer Silver's questions for him. First off, he had told Silver that whilst he indeed looked like the legendary Knight of the Wind, he was not the Blue Blur himself. One way of telling was to obviously look at the Hedgehog's fur of which was Emerald colored, this Hedgehog crudely called himself "Emerald Sonic" because of such a resemblance to the fastest thing alive whilst also having skin, as deeply colored, as one of the 7 Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald...Silver still could not believe that there was another Sonic standing in front of him and that Emerald Sonic retorted that he didn't have to...suddenly, this so called Emerald Sonic pulled a gun out of a holster strapped to his right leg and had shot Silver with it! immediately arrogantly presuming Silver to be dead when in fact he was only knocked unconscious by the bullet, thankfully having missed his vital organs...Emerald Sonic or, as he was called by the Seven Sonics "Lord Emerald" had begun discussing his plans with his servants and had intended to travel back in time to when the original Sonic was still alive, in order to obtain the 7 Chaos Emeralds for what this Emerald declared to be called the "E.M.E.R.A.L.D Project", his ultimate endgame to bring about total conquest and destruction of the past, present and future all alike! the world was in grave danger to say the least... Back in the present time, Sonic and Shadow's race ends with a tie, making it the 3rd one in a row now, the two not happy with the results demanded that Amy referee the race yet again, however, she refuses. Not wanting to take part in a bickering rivalry between Hedgehogs, just when everything seems to be going well, suddenly, Doctor Eggman appears with Orbot and Cubot, declaring that he has come for revenge against Sonic after his plan involving the Phantom Ruby was foiled...Sonic, not up to fighting Eggman at the moment decided to have a rock, paper, scissors match with Shadow to see who gets to take on Eggman in his Egg Mobile. Shadow wins after a round of 3, declaring that he will still make Sonic race him once the fight with Eggman was over and done with, leaving Eggman infuriated and Sonic just shrugging off Shadow. Upon Shadow defeating Eggman with a one hit KO, he proceeds to make good on his promise, however, just then, an ominous wind could be felt by everyone, as suddenly, Shadow could feel a rift in time and space approaching, he could feel that something...evil was about to induce Chaos Control! it was then, standing, hovering above in the skies above Green Hill was Emerald Sonic! of whom sees Sonic and gang down below before evilly smirking to himself. To be Continued. Chapter 4: Sonic Vs. Emerald! Just Who is the Real Sonic!? As everyone could feel the ground shaking and the wind stirring, not to mention thunderbolts and storm clouds suddenly approaching the area around Green Hill in which Sonic and the others were, Knuckles in his usual temperament had questioned Eggman on just what was going on!? Eggman didn't know himself either! Tails and Amy questioned what did he mean by that!? Eggman reveals that he can only guess that someone... Is using Chaos Control, Shadow finishing Eggman's sentence but beyond that, the person in particular question using Chaos Control felt rather...ominous and pure evil, so much...that Shadow felt like he was going to be sick. Same went for Sonic, however, in Sonic's case, he also felt like this sensation was rather...familiar somehow, he couldn't quite figure out why... "Perhaps I could tell you the reason, Sonic the Hedgehog!" Suddenly, a very familiar voice could be heard above everyone floating downwards to him, very shockingly and surprisingly, to their eyes, it was none other...then Sonic himself! Sonic especially shocked and surprised! it was Emerald Sonic from the future, evilly smirking, liking the expressions everyone was putting up in front of him at that moment. Sonic and Shadow put up their guards whilst Knuckles protects both Tails and Amy, leaving Eggman to cower away in fear, hiding behind a nearby rock with both Orbot and Cubot by his sides... "At last, we finally meet, Sonic the Hedgehog." Said Emerald Sonic to everyone once more, as Sonic then took a good look at Emerald and saw that he looked just exactly like him! albeit the Emerald colored skin, Knuckles commented on Sonic just noticing that whilst Sonic himself merely just got angry that there was ANOTHER Sonic look a like! Metal Sonic, Shadow, Silver, all of the Hedgehogs he met up to now he thought were the only ones of their kind but now it seems there is another "Sonic", something that really annoys the real Sonic. Emerald corrects Sonic, saying to him that he is half correct and that whilst he is indeed a Hedgehog, he is NOT Sonic per say...Sonic doesn't understand the question. Shadow immediately goes in to attack Emerald, sensing the evil intent emitting from him. Emerald easily blocks him and shrugs him away into a nearby wall, saying that he doesn't business with Shadow, as Shadow proceeds to get back up, just then, Emerald's Seven Deadly Sonic followers appear, stopping Shadow from making, as so much, as a single move whilst Emerald had approached Sonic. Emerald had got right down to business and had asked Sonic did he have all of the 7 Chaos Emeralds on him? Sonic didn't feel like answering and instead had started strutting. Emerald had asked again albeit more forcefully this time, however, mid-sentence, Sonic cut him off, asking a question of his own...did Emerald like Chilly Dogs? this had greatly shocked everyone besides Shadow who was just annoyed at Sonic asking such a stupid question like that and Eggman knowing Sonic's personality better then anyone else, knowing him how to exactly annoy someone just right...Emerald started popping veins in his head before cooling himself down with a single breath, saying to Sonic that if he won't answer then Emerald will make him answer, Sonic replied with a "good luck with that" taunt, as Emerald then taunted Sonic himself, saying to him about having a one on one match, whoever wins gets all the Chaos Emeralds...and the loser's life. This greatly horrified everyone, Amy especially, begging Sonic not to take up the challenge, however, Sonic accepted nevertheless either way, assuring everyone that he wasn't going to lose a Emerald skinned version of himself, Shadow mentally replied to himself inside his head that Sonic was a fool and that this wasn't the kind of opponent that Sonic could beat so easily. Emerald evilly smiled at Sonic's answer to his question and thus started floating in the air, saying to Sonic the following: "Don't worry, this will be quick, i'll make sure your death will be both quick and painless, just the way you like it..." "Yeah, yeah! enough of the small talk already! bring it! you Emerald impostor!" Sonic replied to Emerald Sonic, as the battle was now underway! the two of them lunging towards one another with Sonic throwing a right hook and Emerald a left. To be Continued. Chapter 5: The Battle is On! Sonic Vs. Emerald Sonic! Sonic and Emerald swung their fists towards one another, ending up in each other smashing their fists against the other's face before smiling, however, only Sonic was sent flying backwards, Emerald flew to where he sent Sonic, as Sonic, curling himself up inside of a ball then regained his balance just, as Emerald went in for the kill. Sonic had blocked Emerald's fist with both hands before spinning very rapidly, shooting at Emerald with a curled Spinning Dash. Emerald's followers were worried for their master's safety, using this chance to escape, Shadow had knocked four of the Seven Deadly Sonics, as Knuckles proceeded to go in and help Shadow, helping in knocking the other three back, as Tails and Amy hid alongside Eggman, Orbot and Cubot where they were. Amy had asked Tails just what the heck was going on!? Tails however couldn't figure out for the live of himself...Eggman reveals that he was doing a background analysis on Emerald since upon first seeing him and had revealed to both Amy and Tails that from what Eggman could gather...this Sonic look a like...this "Emerald Sonic", as Eggman dubbed him...was all in all, Sonic himself! Tails questioned what did Eggman mean by that!? Eggman then corrected himself, as he said to both Tails and Amy whilst Shadow and Knuckles had teamed up against the Seven Deadly Sonics that if he wasn't Sonic himself then what he meant to say was that he was a perfect duplicate of Sonic that somehow exists in this timeline, not even Eggman himself knows how Emerald came to be, only that one thing for sure was certain: he is dangerous. Sonic and Emerald had continued to battle with the two of them being a rivaled equaled match for one another respectively, Sonic thought to himself that Emerald was just about, as strong, as both Shadow and Knuckles went it came to throwing physical punches, however, like Metal Sonic, he was just, as fast, as the real Sonic himself and his ability to levitate and such was similar to Silver, all in all, this guy was a jack of all trades, made up of a single trait belonging to all of the tough opponents Sonic has fought up to now... Emerald had used this chance with Sonic thinking to hit him in his blind spot, saying to him "you let your guard down", afterwards, Emerald proceeded to attack Sonic both continually and mercilessly, Shadow and Knuckles take note of this before they themselves become distracted and are easily given attacks by the Seven Deadly Sonics, forcing the two back, as Sonic calls out to Shadow and Knuckles, Emerald started to choke Sonic, saying to him the words: "Hmph! and they call YOU the fastest thing alive? yeah right! GET REAL! your just a cocky, good for nothing showboat! you haven't got anything REALLY to offer, just that impertinent mouth of yours, of which, i will gladly now shut up for you...PERMANENTLY!" Shouted out Emerald Sonic, trying to make good on his threat, just then, however, suddenly and shockingly...Amy hug tackled Emerald from behind! trying to give Sonic a chance to escape whilst Sonic says to Amy to get out of here and run away, Emerald, unfazed by Amy's attempt to stop him merely slapped her in the face, forcing her away, upon seeing this just, as Tails comes to Amy's aid, Sonic grows angry, seeing Amy unconscious and thus had finally decided to use the Chaos Emeralds to transform into Super Sonic! Emerald backs away, evilly smiling, as Sonic lastly says to Emerald whilst making a fist: "...You...you hurt my friends...you hurt Amy! now, i'm really mad! get ready you fake me! this time, i'm going SUPER!" "HA! JUST WHAT I WANTED! SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!" Shouted out Emerald Sonic in reply, as meanwhile, not too far away, looking over at the battles taking place at Green Hill Zone were Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel, accompanying a strange hooded and masked Hedgehog of whom seemed particularly interested in the battle between both Sonic and Emerald going on right now... To be Continued. Chapter 6: Super Sonic Loses!? The Appearance of Another Hedgehog!? Tails upon Sonic nodding his head took Amy elsewhere to keep her safe, as Sonic now in his super state proceeded to battle Emerald, who remained cocky, as ever. Emerald taunts Sonic over his inability to protect his friends fighting nearby and especially Amy who came to Sonic's rescue, before Emerald could continue speaking, he was interrupted mid sentence by Super Sonic infuriated, no longer pulling his punches, as he hits Emerald back and forth, making him pay for what he has done. One of Emerald's Seven Deadly Sonics comes to his aid, only with little to no effort at all whatsoever being beaten by Sonic, using this chance, Eggman decides to capture the follower of Emerald in order to study and examine him, to find out what there is to know about him, his fellow followers and especially their master, Emerald Sonic himself... Emerald doesn't seemed fazed at all by all of Sonic's attacks, even in Super state and instead, reveals his own ace up his sleeve...Sonic wonders what Emerald means by this? only for Emerald to reveal it right in front of him! it turns out: Emerald Sonic can Super transform, as well! using 7 black colored Chaos Emeralds which both shock and surprise Sonic greatly, Emerald Sonic transforms into his Super form, instead of turning gold and yellow like Sonic, he turns simply purple but with a both black and red colored evil aura surrounding him, Emerald says to Sonic that although this can be interpreted, as "Super Emerald Sonic" or just plain "Super Emerald", Emerald decides that he wants to be imaginative and call this Super transformation of his "Viola Sonic" due to this being the very 1st time that he has ever transformed into it and that Sonic should feel "honored" by it, since he is going to die at this form's hands... Sonic bluffs and tries to shrug off this new "Viola Sonic", however, he can sense the immense power coming from Emerald now having entered his new transformation, without a second thought, his speed and battle power were raised up to at least 10 points being the maximum and he had kicked Sonic in the chest, sending him flying upwards, Emerald had now become even more faster then Sonic, goading on about how HE was now the fastest thing alive, trying to hurt Sonic and damage his reputation, Sonic, upon recalling Amy being hurt grabs Emerald's incoming fist, saying that he doesn't care about being the fastest at the moment, what matters...is that Sonic defeats Emerald Sonic here and now! However, Emerald Sonic proves simply to be too much for Sonic to handle and quickly easily defeats Super Sonic, forcing him down to the ground and picking him up by one of his hair quills, Emerald becomes dissatisfied that he had just transformed into Viola and already the battle had ended, nevertheless, Emerald intended to make good on his own agreement of winning the fight and that was...to take the loser's life! just then however, interrupting Emerald by scathing him, throwing a Katana past his right arm and damaging the skin was a both strange and mysterious cloaked Hedgehog, of whom came to Sonic's rescue, Emerald questioned who this new Hedgehog was!? "...To you, a PROBLEM!" shouted out the cloaked Hedgehog, his voice muffled, as just then, Mighty and Ray appear in-between both this Hedgehog and Emerald with Ray going off to help both Tails and Amy whilst Mighty stood guard alongside this Hedgehog, protecting Sonic. Sonic before falling unconscious decided to do one last act of surprise that would shock everyone greatly and infuriate Emerald Sonic to his boiling point and that was to separate the 7 Chaos Emeralds from one another and using Chaos Control, fling each one of the 7 Emeralds to a different point in time in the past, the current present and the future! Emerald transforms back into Viola Sonic after previously deactivating the transformation upon "winning" his fight against Sonic but is stopped by his minions, of whom tell him to retreat for now, as they need to find the Chaos Emeralds before it is too late, just then, Emerald Sonic starts coughing abruptly, as Mighty could see one of his hands slowly fading out of existence before returning back to normal, what could this all mean!? To be Continued. Chapter 7: His Name is "Seth"... Emerald after regaining his breath had sighed before making his minions back off, he then swore to the unconscious Sonic that he would find the Chaos Emeralds and when he WILL collect all 7 of them, he'll be back to take Sonic's life! for now, he will just claim Sonic's title of being the fastest thing that there ever is, ever was and/or ever will be and with that, using Chaos Control, he and his six remaining minions flee, leaving the battle scars on Green Hill Zone and almost everyone entirely wounded... Six hours later at Tails' workshop, everyone was seen being patched up with only Shadow nowhere to be found, Tails says to Knuckles that Shadow went off on his own to ponder on the current situation, after Amy wakes up, she asks what Sonic is and Mighty tells her that he wants to be alone for now, not wanting Amy to see him the way he is now, considering how everything turned out... Amy to brighten the mood then asks who Mighty is and Mighty angrily comically replies that he is Mighty! Mighty the Armadillo! a friend of Sonic's! hasn't anyone ever heard of Mighty before!? Tails and Amy say no whilst Knuckles says that Mighty seems vaguely familiar, this causes Mighty to comically react, as though his pride has been shattered, cheering him up is Ray who introduces himself, saying that he too is a friend of Sonic's back from when Sonic was younger, Knuckles then interrogates the cloaked Hedgehog, of whom hasn't said a word thus far, Tails tries to calm him down before the cloaked Hedgehog reveals himself by taking off both his hood and mask, as "Seth, Seth the Hedgehog", Seth reveals that he is not around from these here parts and that he only came because he could sense the evil distortion that Emerald Sonic's Chaos Control upon arrival to this timeline had invoked. Knuckles further questions Seth, wanting to know just how much does he know about what's currently going on!? Seth refuses to speak further, Knuckles breaks free of Tails' grip and grabs Seth by his collar, demanding his question be answered, however, Mighty stands up for Seth, telling Knuckles to back down, as Knuckles himself replies "OR WHAT!?", it was then that Mighty was prepared to fight Knuckles, as Knuckles decided to accept this challenge with both Tails and Ray trying to stop Knuckles and Mighty respectively, just then, appearing in Tails' workshop was Silver! telling the two to knock it off, as they have much bigger things to worry about! catching everyone except Seth off-guard who remained silent yet vigilant... Elsewhere... Back in time was seen Classic Sonic! running through Green Hill Zone, as he then happened chanced upon the White Chaos Emerald, wondering where it came from and who it belonged to? To be Continued. Chapter 8: Generation Mania! Classic Sonic was seen taking a stroll throughout all of Classic Green Hill Zone, destroying all of the Classic Badniks he came across until finally he found the White Chaos Emerald laying on the ground in front of him, he picked it up, wondering where it had come from, deciding to consult Classic Tails on the matter, he heads towards his workshop, following not too far behind was Classic Metal Sonic, sent by Classic Eggman to monitor Classic Sonic's actions. Eventually, Classic Sonic reached Classic Tails' workshop and had told him all about the White Chaos Emerald, Classic Tails, deciding to research on the matter had asked Classic Sonic to leave the Emerald with him for the time being and would inform him of what was currently going on concerning the Emerald once the analysis on it had been complete, in the meantime, Classic Sonic would have no choice but to wait. Classic Sonic was seen resting in the green fields right next to Tails' workshop, smelling flowers and eating a Chilly Dog, as he waited, he was then interrupted by both Classic Eggman and Classic Metal Sonic appearing on the scene, the former demanding the Emerald be handed over to him. Classic Sonic proceeded to finish eating his Chilly Dog before taunting Classic Eggman, of whom angered by Classic Sonic's actions sends Classic Metal Sonic to deal with him, only for Classic Sonic to quickly dispose of his Classic metal counterpart, having learned a few new tricks since the last encounter with Classic Eggman, just when it seems that Classic Eggman was out of options, suddenly, Chaos Control was induced! Appearing from out of a warp within a rift between time and space was one of the Seven Deadly Sonics! a muscular fellow by the name of "Wroth, Wroth the Wrathful Badger", he demanded where the Chaos Emerald was, however, Classic Sonic and Classic Eggman were just so perplexed by his sudden appearance that they didn't have time to answer, something that Wroth takes advantage of by sending Classic Eggman in his Classic Egg Mobile flying. Wroth then realized the mistake he had made in sending Classic Eggman flying, as now he didn't have anyone to interrogate besides Classic Sonic, as Wroth tries to communicate with Classic Sonic, he cannot help but only communicate with expressions, something that angers Wroth, as he proceeds to attack Classic Sonic, leaving him no choice but to go on the defensive, considering his opponent's humongous size. On Angel Island, guarding the Master Emerald could be seen a sleeping Classic Knuckles, of whom is suddenly woken up by the loud noises down below the floating island, as he could see Classic Sonic fighting Wroth, deciding that trouble was brewing, Classic Knuckles in an instance left the Master Emerald unguarded, promising it that he would back, as soon, as quickly, as possible upon dealing with the situation Classic Sonic has gotten himself into now, upon leaving, seen lurking behind in the shadows of the Master Emerald was seen a shadowy figure, smirking to himself... To be Continued. Chapter 9: Generation Mania and Knuckles! (What does everyone think so far :]?).

Who Is Your Favorite Sonic the Hedgehog Character? I've only ever played one game and it was on the Sega system in my childhood dentist office but I think Knuckles is cool appearance wise. I remember when I was a kid, a friend in my dad's apartment complex (whom I have no memory of anymore hehe) and I found a magazine in someone's open mailbox with Sonic and Knuckles on the cover. We cut each character out for each of us to take one. We both wanted Sonic and competed for him. I lost and ended up with Knuckles but ended up glad because I grew to love his cool appearance.

I'll be explaining the various kinds of enemies in the Kingdom Hearts universe, how they're created, what happens when they die, and what their goals are. If you feel you are very familiar with the details and lore behind these enemies, then this post is not for you. Over a long time playing the Kingdom Hearts games, I've notice many people left confused about these enemies, whether it be in real life, or online, so I'm making this post to hopefully clear up that confusion. Enjoy! (This is a part of my "Explained" series of posts. To view my "Time Travel Explained" post, click here, to view my "The Braig/Xigbar Situation Explained" post, click here, and to view my "The Realm of Sleep Explained" post, click here.) What are Heartless? Heartless are the main and first enemy type introduced in the Kingdom Hearts series. Most of them are ink black in color and only act on instinct. They can be seen in various of the many worlds and realms in the universe of Kingdom Hearts. The stronger your heart is with the darkness, the more powerful your Heartless you produce will be. There are two types of Heartless: Pureblood Heartless and Emblem Heartless. What goal do Heartless try to achieve? Heartless mainly attempt to find and devour hearts, whether it be the heart of people, or the hearts of worlds. When they devour the heart of a person, then that person becomes a Heartless as well. Heartless, along with other beings strong with dark powers, are able to use portals called Corridors of Darkness. This portals allow them to travel from world to world and from realm to realm. It is dangerous for just anyone to use these portals however, because it is exposing you to direct darkness and it could affect your heart. That is why Heartless mostly use them since they are beings of straight darkness. How are Pureblood Heartless created? Pureblood Heartless were the first types of Heartless to exist. Pureblood Heartless are also known as natural Heartless, since they exist from natural causes. There are two ways a Pureblood Heartless can be created. The first way that a Pureblood Heartless can be created, is when someone succumbs to the darkness in their heart. Once this happens, the darkness inside their heart will devour their heart, then that darkness becomes a Pureblood Heartless. The second way that a Pureblood Heartless can be created is simply by drawing parts of the darkness out of your heart. Only beings that are strong with the darkness are able to do this, such as Xehanort. For example, in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Xehanort was able to create Neoshadow Heartless simply by drawing out the darkness in his heart. Similarly, Riku in the first Kingdom Hearts, was able to create an AntiSora Heartless simply by drawing out the darkness in his heart. Pureblood Heartless are simply darkness of the heart, made flesh. When a heart is unlocked or succumbs to the darkness, the darkness within comes out and becomes a Pureblood Heartless, and devours the heart while it's at it. When a Pureblood Heartless devours someone else's heart, then the darkness within that person's heart will come out and become a Pureblood Heartless as well. When Heartless devour the heart of a world, that world falls to darkness, meaning it ends up in the Realm of Darkness. How are Emblem Heartless created? Emblem Heartless were originally created by a machine made by Apprentice Xehanort, along with the other apprentices of Ansem the Wise. This machine reproduced the process in which Pureblood Heartless are created. This means that this machine was able to produce artificial Heartless by making hearts be consumed by darkness. Emblem Heartless are essentially darkness that has a trapped heart inside, unlike Pureblood Heartless which are essentially darkness that have devoured the heart and become one with it. Emblem Heartless can also be created when an Emblem Heartless consumes someone else's heart, just like how Pureblood Heartless are created when a Pureblood Heartless consumes someone else's heart. What happens when Heartless are destroyed? When you destroy a Pureblood Heartless, the heart within them isn't visibly/physically released, but it is definitely freed. The freed heart will eventually end up turning back into a Heartless. When a Pureblood Heartless is destroyed by a Keyblade, then it's freed for good. It goes into a sort of limbo state and waits for the corresponding Nobody to be destroyed so that it can combine back with the body and recomplete the original person. If the person has no corresponding Nobody, then all you have to do to recomplete them is destroy their Heartless (with a Keyblade) since their body is already waiting in the limbo state. When Emblem Heartless are destroyed, the corrupted heart that's freed will end up turning back into a Heartless, just like the Pureblood Heartless. Except the hearts are visibly freed. When Emblem Heartless are destroyed by a Keyblade, the heart is freed for good and goes into the aforementioned limbo state and waits for the Nobody counterpart to be destroyed, just like the Pureblood Heartless. If there is no Nobody counterpart, then all you need to do to recomplete the original person is to destroy the Heartless with a Keyblade. Them being destroyed by a Keyblade also allows Organization XIII to be able to collect the hearts before they get a chance to recomplete. What are Nobodies? Nobodies were the second enemy type introduced in the Kingdom Hearts series. They are mainly white in color, and they lack hearts. Many Nobodies also use Corridors of Darkness as well. Since they have no hearts, Corridors of Darkness are a huge convenience for them since they can use them without being affected. What goal do Nobodies try and achieve? Nobodies do not have a direct goal. Unlike Heartless, Nobodies have a sense of self, so they are basically free to do what they please. Most of them however, work together to achieve the one thing they truly want: their hearts. Since Nobodies have no hearts, they do not have emotions or feelings. They do however remember what it was like to have emotions and feelings. How are Nobodies created? When somebody loses their heart and become a Heartless, their body and soul fade away and wait for its Heartless counterpart to be destroyed by a Keyblade so the original person can be recompleted. If you had a particularly strong heart however, then your soul will continue living on inside of your body, therefore making your body live on as well. This is what a Nobody is. The stronger your heart was, the more humanoid and the more like you, your Nobody looks. People with slightly weaker hearts, become less and less human looking and take the form of creature type beings that somewhat resemble Heartless, other than the color differences. Organization XIII, a group of powerful Nobodies, are able to convert other powerful Nobodies into lesser, creature-type Nobodies, such as Dusks, as well, presumably using a machine to do so. What happens when Nobodies are destroyed? If a Nobody is destroyed, then it fades away. When someone's Nobody and corresponding Heartless are both destroyed, then that original person will return as a complete being, with heart, body, and soul all intact. (The Heartless needs to be destroyed by a Keyblade). If somebody didn't have a strong enough heart to produce a Nobody, then simply destroying their Heartless with a Keyblade will make them return since their body and soul, the things that would have created a Nobody, have already been destroyed. When you return as a complete being, you have all of your memories from when you were a Nobody as well as your old memories. You do not remember your time as a Heartless though. Other Information Nobodies are actually able to regrow hearts of their own. It is currently unknown what the specifics of this are and what the exact process is. Nobodies have the memories of when they were people. What are Unversed? Unversed are beings created by extremely strong negative emotions. They spawn from Vanitas and his emotions particularly, presumably because there is no other being with negative emotions as strong as his since he is a being of pure darkness. The negative emotions are so strong, that they take physical form, which is what Unversed are. Their goal is to do whatever Vanitas orders them to do, and when they are destroyed, their negativity flows right back into Vanitas. What are Dream Eaters? Dream Eaters are beings that exist and are born in the Realm of Sleep. They can also be created artificially. They are the Realm of Sleep's own personal way of darkness taking form as creatures. They are also the physical embodiments of dreams. They consume dreams. There are two types of Dream Eaters: Spirits and Nightmares. Spirits eat bad dreams, while Nightmares eat good dreams and plant bad ones. When they are destroyed, they seem to simply vanish, but Dream Eaters essentially work the same way dreams do since they are the physical embodiments of dreams, so all you'd have to do to get a Dream Eater to return after being destroyed is to dream it up again. That would be pretty difficult though since you can't really control what you dream about. Sora and Riku used fragments they collected from Nightmare Dream Eaters to artificially create their own Spirit Dream Eaters. The Master of Masters artificially created Spirit Chirithy Dream Eaters as well, probably using the same method as Sora and Riku. That is what we know so far about all the enemy types in the Kingdom Hearts universe. Now, I will explain various characters' involvements with these enemy types and how they relate to them. Sora In the first Kingdom Hearts, Sora stabbed himself in the heart with the Keyblade of Heart. This unlocked his heart, therefore making the darkness in his heart come out and become a Pureblood Heartless. When Sora stabbed himself with the Keyblade of Heart, he had Kairi and Ventus' hearts inside of him. This also created Sora's Nobody, Roxas. Roxas is a special Nobody since he was created by a unique circumstance. Since Sora had Ventus' heart inside of him, Ventus' heart went with his body and soul (Roxas) and went inside of Roxas. Kairi's heart returned to her body and she was recompleted. Since Kairi is a Princess of Heart, she has special light abilities. Since this is the case, she was able to purify Sora's Heartless and bring him back to his human form. Sora was able to return back to his human form without the need and use of his body or soul, which is an extremely unique circumstance. He had technically become a walking, talking heart, until Roxas returned to him. Another thing to mention is how Sora's Heartless had a sense of self. When you willingly give in to the darkness and become a Heartless, then your Heartless will have a sense of self. Roxas Roxas is the Nobody of Sora. He took on the appearance of Ventus since he has Ventus' heart inside of him. Roxas has since returned back to Sora, and Sora is complete again. Roxas lacks his memory from when he was Sora because Sora's time as a Heartless was so short. Kairi Kairi is one of the Seven Princesses of Heart, so she doesn't have any darkness within her heart whatsoever. Since this is the case, when her heart left her body, no Heartless was created. Her heart took refuge within Sora and was later returned to her body when Sora stabbed himself with the Keyblade of Heart and she was recompleted. Since she is a Princess of Heart and couldn't produce a Heartless, no Nobody was created either. Her body did not fade away since she had a strong heart, but it did not turn into a Nobody either since she had no darkness within her heart to turn into a Heartless, so her body stayed in a sort of comatose state until her heart returned to her. Like I stated before, she could not produce a Nobody since there was no darkness within her heart to produce a Heartless. But, when Sora stabbed himself with the Keyblade of Heart, Kairi's heart was released, which then created a Nobody of Kairi since Sora did have darkness within his heart. Naminé Naminé is the Nobody of Kairi that was created by Sora instead of Kairi, as explained above. Since she was not created by a body or soul, she technically doesn't exist and shouldn't exist, but she does anyway. It is an extremely unique and special circumstance. Since she was created by such a unique circumstance and has a unique bond with Sora since she was created by him instead of Kairi, she is able to manipulate Sora's memories and the people's memories who are close to him. She has since returned to Kairi and Kairi is a complete person again. As stated above, Roxas has no memories of his time as Sora because Sora's time as a Heartless was so short. Naminé lacks her memory of her time as Kairi for this same reason. Naminé doesn't have her memory of her time as Kairi because Kairi never even had a Heartless to begin with. Terra-Xehanort Terra-Xehanort, also known as Apprentice Xehanort, is Terra's body taken over by Xehanort and is being used as a host body for Xehanort. He worked as an apprentice under the scientist, Ansem the Wise, so he can get close to the technology and resources that he has. He tested on different people and their hearts to see what affects different tests had. All of his tests ended in the people's hearts collapsing. He locked these people up in cells in a dungeon and since their hearts were collapsing, the darkness within them came out and consumed their hearts and became Pureblood Heartless. Heartless were very rare before these experiments occurred. He then created another test. He put alive people and dead people in the cell with these Heartless. The Heartless went for the alive people, because they had hearts. This caused the Heartless to increase in numbers. Apprentice Xehanort, along with the other apprentices of Ansem the Wise, then created a machine. This machine was the machine stated earlier that artificially created Heartless, known as Emblem Heartless. Later, Terra-Xehanort turned most of the apprentices into Pureblood Heartless by stabbing them all with his Keyblade. He also succumbed to the darkness and became a Pureblood Heartless himself. Ansem, Seeker of Darkness Ansem, Seeker of Darkness is the Heartless of Terra-Xehanort. He was created when the Robed Figure let himself be consumed by the darkness in his heart, therefore becoming a Heartless. That is what Ansem, Seeker of Darkness is. He had a sense of self, just like Sora's Heartless did, because he willingly became a Heartless. He is one of the only people to retain a human appearance after becoming a Heartless. He has since been destroyed by Sora. Scar Scar gave into the darkness in his heart, which caused the darkness within his heart to come out, consume his heart, then turn into a Pureblood Heartless. Scar retained his regular appearance, much like Ansem, Seeker of Darkness. He also had a sense of self, because he willingly became a Heartless. After Scar's Heartless was defeated, a strange and unique phenomenon occurred. Beings known as The Ghosts of Scar were formed from the lingering darkness of Scar. It is unknown why or how this exactly happened, and it is unknown if these "ghosts" would be classified as Heartless or not, but they were able to merge together to create an Emblem Heartless known as a Groundshaker, which is an even stranger phenomenon that has no current explanation. Xemnas Xemnas is the Nobody of Terra-Xehanort, created when Terra-Xehanort succumbed to the darkness and became a Heartless. Xemnas has since been destroyed by Sora. Since both Xehanort's Heartless and Nobody have been destroyed, Xehanort has returned as a complete person. Vanitas Vanitas is the darkness from inside of Ventus, taken humanoid form. Ventus was used by Xehanort to try and fulfill his plan of recreating the χ-blade. To recreate the χ-blade, two beings, one of pure light, and one of pure darkness, need to clash. So, Xehanort extracted the darkness side of Ventus' heart from within Ventus and it took a physical, humanoid form, known as Vanitas. Since Vanitas is a being of complete darkness, without a single bit of light within him, he produces extremely strong negative emotions. These negative emotions are so strong, that they take physical forms, known as Unversed. Riku In Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Riku is considered to be a Dream Eater, because he has the ability to dive into Sora's dreams, and defeat the bad dreams, just like a Spirit Dream Eater would. That's it! I hope this was able to help anyone who was puzzled or somewhat confused with any of the enemies in the Kingdom Hearts universe Feel free to ask any questions in the comments below.
