That last scene was surprisingly moving. He decided who he wants to be but still cares about his "brothers" even if they have different goals and ideologies. He doesn't fight for the sake of forming the X-blade, power, or evil. He fights because it brings him closer to his brothers.

[@Southhs]

Vanitas has always been my most favorite villain from Kingdom Hearts. Not because he shared the same face with Sora's, as well as his voice (though both are a *very* close second, due to how simply shocking the reveal was), but because he came from Negativity, and not simply Darkness. It's arguable that Negavity is even MORE dangerous than Darkness. Take the Heartless and the Unversed, for example. Most of the basic Heartless act more like curious children. With the Unversed, on the other hand, you can clearly tell from their mannerisms that they WANT to inflict as much harm onto others. And there's the fact that Vanitas ALWAYS gets back up no matter how badly he's beaten, and every instance, he's no worse for wear.

[@sebastian9380]

Remember people: Vanitas wasn't always like this. When he was born, he was exactly like Ven, but Xehanort whooped him into what he is today. Xehanort pushed him to harness negativity, not just darkness. As someone else stated in the comments, negativity is worse than darkness. The Unversed are by nature more dangerous than the Heartless. The Unversed exist to spread negativity, straight from their "hivemind" Vanitas. Heartless exist to search for other hearts from pure instinct. They do not care about feelings or causing harm as they do what they only know what to do to thrive.

[@sebastian9380]

@@AndrewUchiha4747 Of course he's pure evil with or without Xehanort. I said that Xehanort whooped him into what he is as what his goals were, how he is portrayed in the game. He gave him an extra boost of giving him a purpose. It's a no brainer that Vanitas is evil because he is the darkness extracted from Ven's heart. As for UX, that game came AFTER BbS. It probably wasn't even a thought back then when these characters were first introduced. The fact that they have Ven in that game is honestly B.S. in my opinion.

I adore Vanitas's development in this game, from his final speech you can feel a lot of respect for both Sora and Ven and perhaps a little going the other way from Ven. His totally fine with being the darker halves of both of them. I don't think he was ever really full-blown evil, more that he was trying desperately to be whole again. I don't think he has any common ground with Xehanort other than that by staying at his side he gets to face off against his brothers, something he greatly relishes. TL:DR, I love that Vanitas's true motive all along was to gain traction with his brothers, no matter how he had to do it.

[@lukegenisiant6988]

@DVJFan Turning him from a mustache twirling one note villain like Ansem heartless, specifically in kh1, and giving him substance beyond the X-blade is ruining him? I wasn't too hot on kh3 myself but, really? Face it, he was boring in bbs, generic even, in kh3 he was so much fun.

[@lukegenisiant6988]

@DVJFan Because the trope of dark version of the hero isn't extremely played out already either. I think we do have some common ground with Vanitas in the regard that he's a bad guy that likes being bad. I wouldn't call him a villain as such, but absolutely an antagonist, a damn good one at that. But the notion that he was anything more than a tired cliche in bbs is unreasonable. The quality of HJO's voice in three would have absolutely changed between bbs and kh2, I mean, he's pushing 40 I think? Regardless he's definitely much older than the last time he donned the fishbowl and war dress, so the change is expected, that and at the end he was kinda fading away, to our knowledge at least. I mean of course he's coming back, let's be real.

[@captasticts8419]

well xehanort, despite everything, IS a creature of light (by that i mean inhabitant of the realm of light). don't know how much good there is in the heartless or any other inhabitants of the realm of darkness. "darkness" is in KH quite often equated with negative emotions like sadness and anger, don't know how much good in that is either. vanitas death honestly seems to indicate that a creature made purely of darkness, like vanitas, is not even slightly interested in being "nice".

[@nathanpaul6263]

@@marcyrei7080 .....................................

[@Kemix0711]

I think you’re right. I mean, light and dark aren’t the true constants. Darkness isn’t evil when it is the cool night that soothes a weary soul. And the light isn’t good when it becomes too bright to help you see the right way. And take Master Xehanort in the end. After he got the x-blade, he didn’t even care about darkness anymore; all of a sudden he’s this philanthropist who says “I’m not evil; it’s everyone ELSE who’s evil! Purge the worlds with dark and have the light of Kingdom Hearts rebuild them!” How is darkness OR light good in that scenario? I’m just saying, I think it was the evil in the worlds that eventually turned his clear eyes yellow. But I digest. Light and darkness aren’t the constants; balance is maintained between them as the warm light invigorates and the cool dark comforts. Abstracts went way out of whack here, but that’s what happens when a game series’ lore gets a little too crazy. 😆

"We should be free to choose. Not just light, not just darkness. We decide what we are" Me: Nice one, Ventus. You've stolen Sora's thunder there. That sounds like something he WOULD say...

[@BrittaKittyNeko]

Well.. I wouldn't say he stole his thunder... the two of them think alike and there's an obvious reason for that... technically it felt more like Sora was going to steal what Ventus was going to say... it felt more appropriate for Ven to say it than Sora since Vanitas came directly from Ventus so it makes sense for Ven to say it to Vanitas. Sora was going to say "But I didn't ask for this" when that wasn't very appropriate for him to say as it was for Ventus... Vanitas was originally and mainly apart of Ventus. And that line "We should be free to choose. Not just light, not just darkness. We decide what we are" again him and Sora are similar in personality so I can not outright blame him for saying something that Sora would say when technically... it's the other way around...

They didn’t let anyone else do any real fighting other than Sora in the moments where you think they should’ve done more.

[@iluvsonicxshadow]

I really love the last scene because (not only high def Vanitas oml hes so fucking pretty) but also simply because of the fact Vanitas is the outlier of the bad guys. He hasn't *turned* to the dark side. He just...is dark. His only dog in this fight was to be closer to Ventus and Sora. (physically and/or emotionally cuz it seems like he wants one or the other sometimes.) Tbh i was surpised Ventus was able to accept that. it feels like something *ROXAS* would do, since Roxas (at least in the past) is the more mature of the (3? Let's just stick with 3) 'Soras'. Ventus begrudgingly accepting that Vanitas just decides to stay on the opposite side because Vanitas believes that's where he belongs says a lot. I get why Sora is against it; Riku in a way is his 'Vanitas' and he was able to persuade him back to light. But with Riku it was different. Vanitas was made of darkness--specifically Ventus' darkness--and if that's where he wants to stay then there cant be much done about it. He does in fact care about Sora and Ventus, and while he's on opposite side he does stand with them in a way. and that's all Ventus can really ask for.

[@blueweirdness4023]

It kind of feels like there's a heavy contrast between the way Vanitas was in BBS and the way he is now, but it kind of makes sense. In BBS, Vanitas was almost that cliché, teenage baddie with a lot of attitude. He was overconfident, taunting, condescending, ect. He even wanted to get rid of Ventus and seemed to consider him not good him to merge with. Now, however, it's been years, and it seems like Van's been through a lot. He seems like a person who's been starved of something like touch. Even his voice being a bit different seems fitting to me. Raspier, like he hasn't been able to talk much. And it's positively dripping with obsession and longing. Van's always been theatrical to be sure, but now it really feels like he's hamming it up. He's obsessed with both Ventus and Sora. He can't emphasize enough that he needs them. They are the oasis he's been looking for after being lost and incomplete for all this time.

[@Daniwolf9005]

Azure Absence I know this is a year old- but I absolutely agree! I was trying to figure out his difference of emotion from BBS to KH3 but that explains it really well! It makes me curious if the longer he is without interaction of his other halves, would he become more broken down? More desperate? It would seem off but at the same time I could see that being a normal reaction to have when put in a situation like that!

[@OpticalSorcerer]

When you read the novelization, it puts a darker light on this. When Ventus joined Eraqus, Vanitas was tortured by Xehanort and made to believe he and Ventus needed to be one in order to alleviate his pain. It explains his motives in BBS, and in KH3, it makes his speech come off as what he's been made to believe rather than what he truly believes. He can't see himself as anything more than a shadow, the power Xehanort wanted to possess and half of Ventus. His idea of identity is being part of someone else's.

[@derrickhightower2681]

No ones gonna talk about how If it wasn’t for aqua barrier everyone would’ve been blown away and the place would’ve been destroyed

[@kfauzi109]

Vanitas I think represents the persona we create based of what we decide what it means to be an adult. We all want to grow up like vanitas wants to be what he is. He decided that's what he is. Its obvious that vanitas looks like Sora and the lore explains why, but symbolically vanitas exists to show us how Sora could've turned out. Sora continually grows and he always chooses good and his friends are living proof of that. But vanitas is the exact opposite, he actively chooses negativity and welcomes it as his life without a second thought or consideration, and the unversed is living proof of that. Watching vanitas in BBS shows his arc clearly. Upon first meeting Ven, Vanitas spooks ven into "growing up," making him fearful of living in his "tiny world" and prophecizing Terra's change after leaving.

[@puterboy2]

“Exists to show us how Sora could have turned out” I see a similar comparison with Lightning and Chick (you know, from Cars?)

[@ashyIarry]

Coming back to this I really hope they go the black clover route with Sora channeling Vanitas in a dire situation and potentially working together

[@nattylight9494]

Just imagine if Vanitis is much more important to the story, like Ventus. If Vanitas was around inside Ventus from the time of Union Cross (which people are now speculating Vanitas may have been the one to kill Streletzia and that hes been in Ventus this whole time) he could come back out in future games and play another side villain role, whos intentions are now free from Master Xehanort and his own, or maybe, Vanitis has had his own intentions this whole time.....
