Day Three- Who is your least favorite Kingdom Hearts character?
I hate this man. Seriously I do. Like most bad guys, Master Xehanort goes out of his way to get what he wants. There is something that makes him different though, he thinks his intentions are well founded. Unlike Ansem (Seeker of Darkness) he’s not just out there to destroy the world for the sake of destroying it and unlike Xemnas he’s not just out there to get into Kingdom Hearts to win back his heart. Those two literally couldn’t give a shit about anybody else and just do what they do because that is their nature, one is a Heartless and the other is a Nobody, it is what they do.
Master Xehanort is a human being, and that is what makes him so much worse. He’s out to forge the “x”-blade. He wants to start a new war. He destroys people’s lives to get what he wants because he assumes that the end result will be for the betterment of everyone. That is the worst type of villain.
Then add on to the fact of how effing manipulative he is. He plays with people’s emotions (mostly Terra’s) and sees right into their hearts and what is bothering them and uses that information to warp them. Imagine if he went about things a different way, he’d be an anti-hero. If he tried to recruit Terra by explaining his plan and why it was necessary, appealing to him rather than manipulating, he’d be a much more sympathetic character. So that he is manipulative and unapologetic about it makes him a raging jerkface.
I hate this man because he could have done so much more with his life. He’s human, he has potential to be such a good force in the world(s) and instead he chooses to go about his agenda in a way which was directly harmful to others. He is driven to the point where it has driven him mad. We’ve seen this in Ansem the Wise (another character I highly dislike) but Ansem the Wise comes off as sympathetic because he repents. Master Xehanort doesn’t repent, doesn’t feel sorry, and doesn’t apologize for his actions at all.
I hope when he comes back in KH3 Sora keyblades him to the face.
