I just realized something: The name for this trope is really shitty.
Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.Hey, the laconic says that the heartless is "a villain born from negative emotions". In Kingdom Hearts, isn't it the Unversed that are born from negative emotions?
Hide / Show RepliesHeartless are born from the darkness (Negative emotions) inside of a person's heart (And from the heart itself). This is why Heartless from those with very dark hearts tend to be more powerful; Sora was only a Shadow because he had very little darkness in his, and the princesses of heart couldn't become Heartless because they were pure of heart. Unversed are The Heartless, but they're born from the darkness of only one person (Vanitas).
Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.Actually, Unversed are just pure negativity given form, not darkness. The Unversed are formed from Vanitas' negative emotions (And possibly he can create from others' as well, if the Cursed Coach's journal entry is to be believed). Negative emotions and Darkness aren't the same, but negative emotions give "life" to the darkness in people's hearts.
