* Okay, so I feel like an idiot... When we first see Riku and Mickey in the Realm of Darkness, after they've defeated the demon tower, they have a conversation during which Mickey says Aqua is like Sora. Riku's reaction is a very shocked "WHAAAT?!?". Mickey clarifies that he means she's strong like Sora, to which Riku breathes a huge sigh of relief. I've played the game several times and I still haven't got the faintest idea why Riku reacts the way that he does. Can somebody explain it to me, please?

** One explanation could be that Riku was picturing Aqua as a Keyblade Master with Sora's personality traits - he would be shocked that anyone like that could be a Keyblade Master given how Sora hadn't made the cut. Or that "one" Sora was already a handful. Or that anyone else could be mentally similar to Sora.

** It is mentioned several times through out the keyblade graveyard that they do not need their body and souls, just their hearts. They don't need to be alive for the hearts to stick around long enough for the X-Blade to be formed.

* So if Xehanort's plan was to forge the X-Blade with the seven lights and thirteen darknesses, why did he have Terranort kill all the lights the first time around before he could even get the X-Blade forged? And using the Princesses of Heart as a replacement is not a reliable Plan B as that would be too time-consuming to find and capture all the new incarnations of the group.

*** Ventus' situation is probably closer to Kairi after having her Heart removed in KH1 and going comatose than what would normally create a Nobody. That said, Ventus never had a heart of pure light, Master Xehanort artificially split it into Light and Dark halves, and they reunite after beating Vanitas (as shown with Ventus' stained glass heart representation filling in).[[note]]After re-reading a wiki entry on him, a good chunk of the Darkness in his heart was from one of the XIII Darknesses introduced in Union Cross. Which probably means he's carrying around less Darkness post BBS.[[/note]] Only Princesses of Heart have hearts of pure light, it's '''''their thing''''', and why Even (pre Vexen) comments on how Ventus' heart of pure light is unnatural. The thing that happens in III is Master Xehanort is massively "cheating" by using time travel to bring forward incomplete and partial beings that should not be able to exist concurrently to fight for him. Hence why Master Xehanort, Xemnas, Ansem Seeker of Darkness, and Terranort could all be in the same place at once when normally only at most 2 ought to be able to exist at a time. More concretely to the question, the Vanitas we see in III is a pulled forward copy of the Vanitas from BBS, so Ventus could simultaneously have his re-completed and normal Heart back together while the dark half from before re-integrating existed outside causing trouble.
