Best Answer

Ansem/Maleficent convinves Riku to give into darkness so that he may obtain dark powers which he thinks he can use to regain Kairi's heart. However, Ansem is really just using Riku as a host. So technically, he doesn't turn into Ansem; the two are still different people.

Ansem has been controlling Riku, so Ansem's dark power lingered in Riku's existence. When Riku released Ansem's dark power at Memory's Skyscraper, he also revealed the true owner of that dark power: Ansem. Riku needed Ansem's darkness to be strong enough to beat Roxas.

How are Ansem and Ansem the Wise different?

Ansem the Wise, is the original Ansem, in KH 1 the Ansem they go by is a heartless, with the replica of his understudy, who is the same as Xeanhort from KH 2, Ansem the Wise is the Ansem that made the Ansem reports. Ansem the Wise is the body of Ansem Heartless (KH 1), Xeanhort is the nobody of that heartless, and he is Terra from Birth by Sleep, who was infused heart and soul with Master Xeanhort, the old man from the trailer. Sorry for the spoiler. Terra and Master Xeanhort were fused and that is why he is younger than Master Xeanhort, nd hwy he looks like Terra.


Who is ansem the wise nobody?

Ansem the Wise is Ansem the Wise, he is nothing else, he pretended to be Diz in Kingdom Hearts 2, and he didn't show in Kingdom Hearts 1, the Ansem you fight in Kingdom Hearts 1 is actually Xehanort's Heartless, Xehanort is Ansem's apprentice, that became a Heartless, and the Nobody of Xehanort is Xemnas. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WRONG!!! Xemnas is Ansem's Nobody... Get rid of the x and switch a few letters around and you get ansem's name.... Not xehanort... FYI... ansem was DiZ... AND......... in kingdom hearts you didn't battle Ansem... You didn't battle xemnas... You battled xehanort that was pretending to be ansem... But it turned out that the REAL ansem was just trying to HELP sora... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first answer was right. Xemnas is Xehanorts nobody. Think about it... they look alike and had somewhat the same goals.

How many people imposed Ansem?

Hm, I would say 1. Let's review the four "Ansems": 1.) There's Ansem the Wise, aka Diz, the "original" Ansem. 2.) His heartless is also called Ansem. Heartless Ansem was the only one who claimed to be the original Ansem, so that's why only he is really an imposter. 3.) Ansem's nobody, Xemnas (Ansem remixed + an x), looks almost exactly the same as heartless Ansem, but this one does not claim to be anyone but what he is. 4.) But if you really want to split hairs, you could count Riku as one of the "Ansems" after his appearance was transformed to look exactly like heartless Ansem. He changes back later on. Convuluted, no? :)


Are Ansem and Ansem the Wise the same man?

SPOILERNo. The first Ansem was Xehanort's Heartless impersonating Ansem. The second Ansem was Riku, who released the darkness in his heart to change himself into a man that looked like Ansem. Riku did so to be able to wield the power of darkness and protect Sora without darkness consuming him.


Is Xemnas Ansem's Nobody?

It depends on who "Ansem" is, because there are really 3 different "Ansem"':One is the real Ansem the Wise who disguises himself as DiZ because the other 2 Ansem's take his identity.One fake "Ansem" is Xehanort's Heartless, who calls himself Ansem but is really the antagonist of KH1.The third "Ansem" (the second fake Ansem) is Riku-Ansem: after Riku takes off his black blindfold at Memory's Skyscraper in order to gain enough dark power to defeat Roxas, he permanently turns into Riku-Ansem, who is really Riku but now looks like the other fake Ansem and has more combat power.Since all Nobodies are created from the creation of Heartless, Xemnas is the Nobody of Xehanort's Heartless, Ansem.
