Birth by Sleep Xehanort not Xehanort?

Not recommended to use Roxas as comparison, considering the fuss surrounding him (Ven) but point taken.

Honestly, I think that talking about him controling Terra is too far ahead. We saw yellow eyes for a tenth of a second, and this is the theories we get!

 

Ansem - Note he also wears Master Xehanort's attire and the hair is styled different and well the face is similar but different enough to me to say they aren't the same. In KH though a lot of the faces are similar, sadly.

Xehanort/Xemnas

I see Terra in pictures posted looking more similar to Xemnas than Ansem does, except for the hair color and eye color. I don't think Ansem of KH1 looked like Xehanort/Xemnas other than the same hair color. I had other pictures of Xehanort the apprentice of Ansem too but they are kind of blurry to see the features well.

Of course...on close examination, if Ansem of KH did not push his hair back and had a hair cut in the back, his hair could almost resemble Xehanort/Xemnas's. It's weird to look at Terra, Ansem of KH1 and Xehanort/Xemnas together. It brings up more questions now.

Also, I think we got confused here. I was saying 'Master Xehanort' cannot be Xehanort/Xemnas initially by the time line as well. I was just dividing it up to separate since there are 3 Xehanorts, toss in some Ansems etc. I agree with you that the Xehanort we see in KH2 cannot be the same as Master Xehanort. Perhaps I'm getting confused and got lost somewhere.

 

By more similar, do you mean skin tone? Because their facial structures are practically identical... If so, that means nothing... 'Xehanort' has a different skin tone to ALL of the three, as well as Master Xehanort (just to keep things in perspective)

Hairstyle doesn't mean anything either... Namine's hairstyle in between Kairi's KH1 and KHII hairstyles...

Apart from hairstyle and skin tone I see very little difference between them...

 

They all 3 do look similar to one another. I suppose the Heartless Xehanort had a lot more of a presence than Xemnas/Xehanort did and what you pointed out too. Their demeanors to me separate them perhaps more than the features physically. In the end, I can't tell whether the 3 of them have similar appearances because of the artwork or if it is totally intentional. Terra's hair sticks up a lot like Xemnas's does and his facial features match Xemnas's too. Maybe there's a significance for all 3 of them looking so close, but it is getting rather confusing. Maybe a clear picture or two of past Baldenort would help us to ****yze (..this word doesn't show right..i suppose I'll say..place) the pictures together and draw something. It's hard to find a good one of him right now.

 

Here's a good one... As you can see, he DOESN'T look the same... http://www.kh-vids.net/showthread.php?t=28817

 

Well, he's older...but I can't say he doesn't have the same exact ears as Ansem (KH1) and his eyebrows also are branched out as Ansem's are and not Xehanort's. There's an arc upwards and then the rest of the eyebrow continues normal in this picture. Of course...I can't tell in that picture if the rest of his eyebrows aren't missing either. http://multimedia.kingdomfantasy.com/image/kh/005.jpg Also, his skin color is darker like Master Xehanort's. The eye color is questionable since Ansem's look yellow/orange in some pictures and orange in others (as do Ansem's) where as Xehanort/Xemnas's eyes originally were brown but become very orange. Master Xehanort's seem more amber/yellow in that picture. Also...his face seems more angular than any of the others though some features to me seem to match with the Heartless Ansem the most. However, I admit it's somewhat a stretch. He doesn't resemble the others really at all.

 

Well judging by the fact that Xehanort lost his memory when Ansem found
him....... and the only thing he remembers was the name Xehanort....
He probably didn't steal the name. Its all he could remember....
He was probably Master Xehanort's apprentice!

 

Interesting theory you have there, I never thought of that. Maybe you have the answer maybe not. All we need to do is just wait.
