Were the developers really that dead set on making her relevant? Evidently so.Īm I saying she’s the worst character because she shouldn’t exist at all, much less should never have been brought back in the first place? Why yes. Besides, she was a thirteenth member for maybe five minutes? There is no one else that isn’t a creation from a test lab that can be part of the new Organization? Even all of Xehanort’s selves from the past make more sense than Xion, and that’s really reaching. If we (begrudgingly) put aside the fact that she should not exist, what real point does she have in returning at all? Xemnas and Xehanort somehow brought her back-without Sora noticing he was missing his third heart, by the way-as the thirteenth member of the new Organization XIII. So why in the world would Square Enix bring her back? Her time was over when Roxas defeated her at the end of 358/2 Days. Secondly, she had no heart to begin with as a Nobody. She was made from memories , for crying out loud. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for Xion to live on in Sora’s heart. I broke it down a bit when dissecting Sora’s three hearts, and I’m going to reiterate it here. What were they going to do if both Roxas and Xion worked out? Kill Xion, because she was made from nothing anyway?Īs pointless as Xion was in 358/2 Days, bringing her back was even more pointless. Yes it does.)Īlso she’s the FOURTEENTH member in Organization XIII? It has thirteen in the title. Does it matter what pieces he uses from Sora to make one? (Yes, Xemnas. He knows Sora has a strong heart, which would make for a strong Nobody. Why did Xemnas make her other than to be an obscure plot device? He claims she’s a safety net for if Roxas’ membership doesn’t work out. She’s certainly not from his days in Chain of Memories, because Sora mentions in Kingdom Hearts III that he still doesn’t know what he’s supposed to thank Naminé for.
I’ve never been sure of which memories she came from. When Roxas slays her, she tells him that she’s returning these memories to Sora. It’s not until the end of the game that she reveals to Roxas that she’s a copy of Sora made from his memories. She’s essentially similar to the Riku Replica from Chain of Memories that likes to rear his ugly head every now and then. It’s really at that moment, when Riku speaks to her, that you know she’s a copy of Sora somehow. He even tells her she’s not supposed to exist. Riku hasn’t lost his heart that we know of, which is only confirmed the first time Riku fights her in the game. Sora’s Nobody is Roxas, and Kairi’s Nobody is Naminé. But she couldn’t be Sora or Kairi’s Nobody. The eyes though, those were unmistakably Sora’s bright blue eyes. That is, her hair style looked like Kairi. When Xion first removed her hood in 358/2 Days, you couldn’t help but notice how she looked a bit like Kairi. I’m sure Xemnas had test tubes and everything. Her Creation Was PointlessĪside from the fact that Xion was wholly created just to give 358/2 Days some additional momentum aside from “here’s how Roxas spent his 358 days with Organization XIII before trying to escape,” she was literally created. She never has been a pivotal force in anything, unless you count her being the final boss in 358/2 Days. That said though, Xion is one character in the franchise that literally has zero reasons to exist. To say that one particular character is worse than the other forced characters may seem like nitpicking.

A tearful Roxas cradles her as she vanishes after defeat.True, this series likes to shoehorn in pointless characters wherever possible, and then follow them up with “reasons” why they’re important and how they fit overall. She forces Roxas to kill her, as her continued existence will cause Roxas to disappear. Xion fights Roxas near the end of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. As she is a replica of Roxas, she can also wield a Keyblade. Xion begins obtaining the leaked memories of Sora after her creation, giving her a form and identity beyond her initial appearance of a hooded puppet.
She is instead an imperfect replica of Roxas created by the organization as a fail-safe in case Sora or Roxas become irrelevant to its goals. However, she mostly appears as a girl strongly resembling a black-haired Kairi. She is depicted as a shy girl who eventually befriends Roxas and Axel.Īn interesting characteristic of Xion is that her appearance changes depending on the person looking at her. Xion is introduced as the last member to join Organization XIII in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.
