Riku-Ansem is identical to Ansem, which is the Heartless of Xehanort.
no way
No. Xehanort's Heartless (the fake Ansem) looked like Ansem the Wise (the real Ansem) but a lot tanner.
It was just a regular shadow. A bit strange, cause you would expect that someone with a strong heart like Sora would leave behind a very strong heartless.
well there are a few answers to this. if your talking about in the first game, then he looked like a normal heartless. in the second game he has to fight his dark side or whatever, then that looks like him but just black.
The one we know of as "Ansem" is Xehanort's Heartless. He shares some characteristics, such as obvious similarities in clothes, but is very different in appearance.
Because when Riku went into the Door to Darkness, the darkness consumed him, so he could use the powers of the dark, look like Xehanort when he was a heartless, and a darkness keyblade.
King Mickey told Ansem about Heartless, so Ansem was too intrigued to not look into them.
he looks like ansems heartless when he has the shape of riku's head but his head is covered with that dark stuff or just seach it in google images
Look it up on wikipedia and look for Heartless. There you will find the summary. Hope that answer is good enough.
He had to embrace the darkness in order to defeat Roxas so it made him look like "Ansems" heartless
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.
Well, Ansem the wise had three apprentices,Lenzo,Xehornt,and Even. Xehornt suggested a lab for the apprentices to work,so Xehornt made the heartless and Lenzo,Xehornt and Even were turned into heartless and i wont tell anymore go to kingdom hearts wiki and look up Even,Lenzo,Xehornt,or Ansem the wise and btw i didnt spell Xehornt right
