Why does vanitas look like sora?

Why did ven give sora a piece of his heart?





For anyone still confused, Basically

-Sora needs to stop Master Xehanort (MX) (old man, main villain from Birth by Sleep) from creating Kingdom Hearts
-MX needs 13 dark vessels to create Kingdom Hearts. These are human bodies that he will pour his "essence" (bits of his own heart) into, essentially taking their body over. This is exactly what he did to Terra in Birth By Sleep
-At the end of Dream Drop Distance, Sora is actually weaker than he used to be because he was taken over by the Darkness. He failed his Mark of Mastery exam because he fell to darkness. So he has to regain his powers and the main power of Unlocking Sleeping Hearts (we will most likely hear more about it as we play Kh3) (Similar to how Korra was trash in the final season of The Legend of Korra lol)

There are 3 Keyblade wielders from Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep that you need to know

-Aqua: Riku and King Mickey are working together to get Aqua out of the Realm of Darkness (another dimension that she is currently lost in. She can't escape by herself and will need a lot of help). Aqua will help Sora and his friends stop Xehanort.
-Ventus is a lifeless shell because of his fight with Vanitas (the evil part of Ventus. This was Ven's final boss battle in Birth by Sleep). He is basically a SLEEPING HEART. But before Birth by Sleep started, Ventus placed part of his heart inside Sora when Sora was extremely young (this is at the very start of Birth By Sleep, and I think it's why Roxas looks exactly like Ventus). So I imagine Sora will need the power of Waking Sleeping Hearts to wake up Ventus. Ventus will also be helping in taking down Master Xehanort
-Terra's body was taken over by Master Xehanort in Birth By Sleep BUT his Will (The lingering Will from KH2FM) still remains. So I imagine the Lingering Will will try to take his body back and become complete (very similar to the end of terra's story in Birth By Sleep). There was a scene in a trailer that looked like Terra and the Lingering Will were going to fight again

Other Stuff
-Axel died in KH2, and when a Nobody dies and the heartless counterpart dies, the Original human is resurrected. So Lea from Birth By Sleep (Axel's original human form) is back as a grown man. He is a Keyblade Wielder now. He's helping to stop MX
-Kairi is also a keyblade wielder now. She touched Aqua's keyblade when she was super young and was "bequeathed" because of it (this happened in Birth by Sleep)
-The 13 Dark Vessels that MX is using are many of the Organization 13 people that we beat between Chain of Memories and KH2


That's all i got. The plot is ridiculous and a lot to remember. Hope it helps

Funny how KH2 doesn't really matter in terms of plot anymore. If you never played KH2, you could still understand the plot a good amount.

The "side games" are actually more important than KH2

EDIT: I actually dont think MX needs the vessels to create

...and that's the biggest problem with this series and square is a bunch of morons for that.
At the end of the day, those video summaries are incredibly helpful and made it so that I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the story in KH3.
I'm actually grateful the game took this long to come out now.
If it wasn't for youtube, I would be completely lost and would not be able to enjoy KH3 at all.
very true

i was 9 when Kh1 came out. My parents damn sure werent gonna buy all the game systems that these games came on, in addition to the price of the games themselves.

Since Ventus's heart rests w/in Sora, part of Vanitas does as well because they are 2 sides of the same coin. Weird, I know. It's why Roxas and Ven look similar.

I think Vanitas was a faceless being before Ven's heart found rest within Sora. Before that point, if he took his mask off, i bet he would be a faceless being.
But when Ven's heart touched Sora's, he received a face (an evil, black haired, slightly-older looking Sora)


IDK how true this is, but people have floated the idea of Vanitas having a different face in KH3. So look out for that

I think it was by chance

Ventus was originally an MX's apprentice. He wanted to use Ven to create the Kai-blade. But Ventus was way too weak for the training. MX eventually "broke" Ventus's heart into 2 pieces: Light and Dark. The Dark is Vanitas

After that, MX took Ven to Destiny Islands to abandon him. Ven's broken heart came into contact with Sora's at a very young age, to become complete (guess u cant be walking around with half a heart like it's no big deal).

I think Sora was just born at this time, so he was a fresh, pure heart that Ven decided to stay with.


So to answer ur question, Ven found Sora because MX took Ven to Destiny Islands where Sora was just born. I don't think Ven was particularly choosing different people to reside in. Sora just happened to be born at that moment

Vanitas looks like Sora because Vanitas is Ven's darkness personified. Once Ven's heart was being healed by sora's Vanitas took upon Sora's features.

Ven's heart went into sora's basically by chance. Sora's heart even at birth was full of light and offered to harbor's ven's heart to heal. Ven was just on destiny island at the right time when Sora was born and found shelter in sora's heart.

Ven is actually over 1000 years old and was part of the "age of fairy tales" where the original Keyblade war took place. How the hell he managed to survive until bbs time frame is currently unknown (and i don't think kh3 touches upon this but Unchained X is currently in progress of explaining this)



There are rumors that Vanitas has a different face in KH3. I don't know if it's true or not but i would avoid any streams for spoilers.

"Unchained X" is the second part of the "Chi" mobile game. As of now the japan version is about 8 months ahead of the english version. Nothing happening in it should have any impact on KH3 but it's clear it's setting up whatever is "Next" .

The newest update is gonna come out on the 29th to coincide with the release of KH3 secret ending so it's obvious they are gonna reflect each other.(As of now we know Ven and Lauriam(Marluxia somebody) were union leaders and keyblade weilders. We also know elrena(larxene's somebody) was also a keyblade weilder during this time.

Im sure they will remake it into a movie or something down the line like they did "Backcover"

As for what is "next" im sure the ending,epilogue and secret ending of kh3 will hint to that but again im avoiding all spoilers so i don't know as of now. I do know the "chi" series has introduced us to the Foretellers Luxu Chirithy and the Masters of Masters along with characters like Ephemera and Skuld(which rumors have it she's Kairi's grandmother) which im sure are gonna be main characters in whatever the next saga is.

With youtube nowadays they spoil every single thing.

This one dude named radbrad showed up on my youtube for the spiderman game and spoiled a lot.

I don't even watch him, but he showed up on my shyt.

Imma have to beat this game fast because I don't want no thumbnails spoiling the game.

I see all these streams poppin up and I know they're going to be people having videos of the last boss and ending all on YouTube before it comes out on Tuesday here.

the trick is to not search anything on youtube until you beat the game.

once youtube realizes you searched for it, they will send you vids of it
