I wonder what it is about Xehanort that makes everyone around him want to betray him. Then again, it's Xehanort we're talking about. If you don't backstab him first, he probably will.

[up]Yeah, but you don't see any other evil overlord's henchmen having such an undying devotion to treachery quite like Xehanort's lackeys do. Seriously, was there any actual Organization member who was actually, genuinely loyal to Xemnas without having some sort of ulterior motive? xD

[up][up] Xaldin, Demyx, and Luxord didn't seem to have any problem following him.

Vexen, Lexaeus, and Zexion are debatable but I get the feeling they didn't mind him either.

[up] But at most, they were indifferent. I mean real loyalty, not just the "it's our job and he's our boss" kinda thing the Org. had going on.

Yeah, Vexen, Zexion and Lexaeus seemed to be against the traitors. They only wanted to corrupt Riku to counter Marluxia's plot with Sora. Everyone who wasn't Axel, Saïx, Roxas, or at CO also seemed to be loyal.

[up] They're Nobodies. Their emotional lever is always cranked to Indifferent, full blast, unless it involves their hearts.

[up][up] How often does that happen in this series? Villains in KH forge alliance out of convenience more often then not. However if there was a coup against Xemnas those six would probably stand by him so that seems pretty loyal to me.

[up] I wonder what will happen to The Six now that their hearts have been restored, especially since Xehanort is off playing Big Bad in the the Realm of Sleep.

On that note, I really want to see more Luxord and Marluxia. They were pretty cool guys.

In the case of Organization members who controlled the basement of Castle Oblivion, I get the feeling that they were either following Xemnas out of fear or were more loyal to the cause of the Organization (i.e. regaining their hearts) than they were to Xemnas themselves.

Demyx didn't really care either way, but Luxord was becoming increasingly frustrated by being Locked Out of the Loop.

You know how that explanation a while back said that Sora had some of Riku's memories in his heart?

Well if Riku used to be a Xehanort, does that mean that Sora has a little Xehanort in him? Oh man, that means it Sora isn't who's everyone, it's Xehanort!

He was one step ahead of everyone all along!

Also, I guess this is sort of a possible explanation for how he was starting to brainwash Sora in the 3D special trailer, but nobody cares about that.

I want to see Luxord as well. He's my favorite Organization member, in all honesty. So smooth.

I think the best scene with regards to anyone's loyalty to Xehanort is this one.

You honestly get the sense that Xehanort could have actually killed Braig at this point and not given a fuck, and simply found another pawn.

I mean, he just looks so BORED thoughout.

And the fear in both Braig's animations and Voice-acting is palpable.

Well, that's all anyone is to Xehanort: tools and nothing more. Once it loses functionality, you discard it and find a replacement.

Xehanort's whole expression during that scene is most definitely "look at how many fucks I give."

Also I just love Braig's lines in that scene. He (and Xigbar) always get the best lines.

[up][up] The fact that he started off as nothing but a bored kid on the beach of the Destiny Islands is both frightening and impressive in a way.

Side-note, if they do a POTC, Dead Man's Chest/At World's End world at some point in the future, I wonder what Tia "A touch of destiny" Dalma would have to say about Sora, Riku, and Xehanort of the "Destiny" Islands.

[up]Xehanort: Bitch, please.

Xehanort is basically Riku gone horribly, horribly wrong.

[up] x4 And the response to that observation is zero. Not a single fuck was given that day. Or ever for that matter.

[up] And, in a sense, Terra as well. Hence making the Terra-Riku succession scene Harsher in Hindsight.

"Take a look at this tiny place. To the heart seeking freedom, this island is a prison, surrounded by water. And so this boy sought out to escape from his prison. He sought a way to cross over into other worlds, and he opened his heart to darkness."

Is he talking about Riku, or himself?

Deep.

It's also creepy the way he's basically laughing out some of his lines.

[up][up] And he's likely still slightly amnesiac at this point and still doesn't know that those words apply to him as well.

It's like a critical mass of Irony.
