Which Heartless Were Organization 13s? 

You voted, and it’s here! My 1k Subscriber special! Thanks again and I hope you enjoy :)

I think the only thing I would add to my reasoning is “how much darkness they have.” Sora, even at kingdom hearts 1 level is very strong, but still only produced a shadow because he has so little darkness.

personally I would assume that all of the founding members were emblem heartless because those heartless are Xehanort experiments so I assume that he experimented on everyone.

I do think that the Chimera would've worked for Xigbar really well, considering how it has three heads, representing the three identities Luxu had. The top represents Braig/Xigbar, the middle represents Bragi, and the bottom represents Brain.

I think I have pondered the nobody/heartless counterparts at some point, but probably just chucked that in the “things KH will probably not explain” box. Very interesting to hear the possibilities, especially since you put a bunch of big and small choices that all vaguely link up. Now thinking about it, if Sora has such a strong heart and still only turns into a basic shadow heartless, why can’t these other guys have had their heartless be kinda small or unassuming in a similar vein?

Nice. Keep up the great work

ooooh good picks, not feeling Luxord but i get why you picked it also I like the tier list lotta good info with that

excited for this

I've always thought the Phantom would be a good fit for Luxord. Phantom's fight is one of the few "puzzle" superbosses in the series which I think really fits Luxord's more puzzle-y fights in KH2, plus his whole fight's gimmick surronds the Clock Tower (Time)

I’ve wanted this for a while haha

I probably wouldn't have wanted to use the strength or the heartless as a factor as, well, one of the two known examples we have is Roxas (an undoubtablely powerful Nobody who's return scared XEMNASS) have a heartless of... literally the most basic heartless out there, a simple Shadow. (this detail would also probably eliminate other criteria you set like elemental affinity.... but that would be no fun) On the Strom Rider... I think think after beating it, we get a bit of an explanation that it was actually a Dragon from the land of Dragons that Xigbar turned into a heartless.... If I am recalling that correctly, then it's canonical backstory should disqualify it from this list. Same deal with Groundshaker.... pretty sure it is canonically Scar's heartless, or at least way to tied to Scar for it to have come from someone else. Zexion must be really hard to do powerwise since his abilities change with each appearance... in re:CoM he could make Illusionary copies of himself, disguise himself in cutscenes (taking Sora's apperence) and steal/copy Riku's powers, in KH2FM he trapped you in a pocket dimension for a bunch of stuff, and when playing as him in 358/2 Days he just made a bunch of other weapons pop out of his book. So getting a lock on his powers must be tough. Maybe the lack of a clear match for Luxord is foreshadowing a twist of some kind? He IS gearing up to be a lot more important in the next saga.

What about Trickmaster for Luxord?

What about Reverse Armor for Saix? It’s big, gets enraged by switch to a more aggressive form, and floats like Saix does. Weapons? It’s hands and feet are weapons that when combined right, can resemble a Claymore, which Saix wields. Thoughts?

I'm losing it at "DEATH ZAMBONI"

Phantom from Never land was my pick for Maruxia

You mention strong hearts so strong heartless. The strength of a heartless is based on the evil within ones heart, not the strength of one's heart. This is why Sora's heartless was the weakest type of heartless as there is little darkness in him. Xehanorts heartless Ansem is super strong as Xehanort has lots of darkness in his heart. If anyone is wondering, the strength of nobodies on the other hand are based on the strength of the original people, strong person = strong nobody This is why Sora had a weak heartless but a very strong nobody (Roxas)

Some of those battles were nightmares took forever to be beat

13:02 yeeeeeesh

My theory is they just killed their heartless the exact place they became nobodies and lost their hearts. i mean that is what happened to Sora, his heartless appeared the place he lost his heart. As for a reason, maybe they went berserk and attacked them. I mean I think they can only control nobodies and not heartless right?

Video so good that the likes don’t make sense

I expected Wyvern from KH1 and Ruler of the Sky from 358/2 Days to be on Xaldin’s list. I forgot about Windstorm though.

QUESTION THAT DO NEED AWNSER

Dance, water, dance!

Part of me thinks they’d be pure blood heartless. As soras heartless is the pure blood shadow. And Ansem only has the emblem because he was the one behind it.

It'd be very ironic if Luxord's Heartless was the Grim Reaper.

12:11 well I got flashbacks

I think they just didnt think far enough for the rules they set.

I suppose I'll drop everything I got and watch this

My brain trying to understand the 1st part of the vid 🤯😵‍💫 😆 🤣

for Luxord we could always just use the boss from 2nd pirate visit

Storm Rider is confirmed to be the Heartless of a dragon, so, cannot be Dilan's Heartless

Oh that's a realy interesting topic.
