Random question and a question about nobodies

ShadowXIV · (#1)

I didnt exactly know where to put this because it deals with BBS and 358/2 somewhat
first question: why do people call the DS 'Vanitas?'

and the more complex question: I was watching a preview to BBS and noticed Even (Vexen), Dilan (Xaldin), and Lexaeus (whatever his real name is), and they look exactly the same as their nobodies
why exactly dont Roxas, Xemnas, and Namine look the same as theirs when the others do?

Cause apparently, that's his name ...

Yes, they're going to be in BBS. Probably all of Ansem the Wises's assistants will be. And Roxas and Namine are special nobodies ... and Xemnas does look the same

becuase at least for now DS name is vanitas.

second Xemnas does look like himself as for the others well i do see some differences mainly in some of the face scars or paint, but primarily like was said Roxas, Namine, and even Xemnas are labled as special nobodies. BUt at least in the eyes of the nobodies they make the comment many times of Sora looking like Roxas to them.

that doesnt answer my question really haha
what defines a "special" nobody? and if roxas is somehow related to Ven then is there someone related to Namine?

and did nomura just randomly release the name of the DS or was it in a clip?
sorry i havent been active lately and am trying to figure stuff out

there isnt anything that specifically defines a special nobody its just a generic phrase used to descirbe the ones that are in some ways different. Wether it be how the nobodies were born, or how some actually may have a heart. For example the speculation is that Namine while Kairi's nobody her physical body came from Sora, while Roxas is Soras nobody his body may have come from another source.

Ven has a certain Connection or event that ties with Roxas but he is not him, Namine doesnt really have any other connections other than to Sora and Kairi.

And Vanitas is the name of DS based on the translated screenshots and stuff. Now theres always the chance of a mistranslation as there was with unbirths - unversed, but for now thats what he is called.

To me, Even and Aeleus look exactly the same as Vexen and Lexaeus. As for Dilan, he seems to have shorter hair. The reason Roxas and Namine dont look exactly the same as Sora and Kairi is because they were born in a special way. Xemnas looked pretty close to Xehanort, but had mostly differences in face build and hairstyle, as well as a slightly darker tint in hair color.

I wasnt referring to Axel haha (Lea)
I was just wondering if there were some theories regarding why/how they are special but apparently not so I guess this can be closed. (phail)
