I can't remember if it was confirmed, but was Vanitas norted? Or was he just Vanitas from BbS in a replica body in the present?

Xion isn't time traveled is she? Didn't they just recreate her heart from data through the world experiments then stuff it in a replica? They didn't include her in the time travel group, and nothing ever exist her body when switching.Out of the new Organization Xemnas, Ansem, Young Xehanort, Dark Riku, Xion, Terranort, and Vanitas were hearts from the past in Replica bodies. Or in Terranort's case past Terranort's heart in Terra's restored body.
Larxene, Luxord, Marluxia, Saix, and Xigbar were turned into nobodies again to recieve a piece of Xehanort's heart
Yeah you're right Xion's heart was re-created instead of coming from the past. Can't believe I missed that.Xion isn't time traveled is she?

That being said all members should have a piece of Xehanort's heart in them. The real questionable ones are Vexen and Demyx. They have the yellow eyes but do they have a piece of Xehanort in them? And how did they get rid of it if so?
It's possible Vexen could remove the pieces being a scientist with Ansem and Ienzo's help. They really didn't get into the details of 'norting' So between the other twelve, along with Vexen and Demyx, Xehanort split his heart 14 ways. You'd think that would weaken him or do something to him, but I suppose he's so old he feels nothing. Still it only feels like he only had a grasp on Terra via norting.Yeah you're right Xion's heart was re-created instead of coming from the past. Can't believe I missed that.
As for Demyx and Vexen since they were reserve members then they should have had a piece of Xehanort's heart inside of them. Even got his heart back somehow and we don't know about Demyx since they haven't shown him after Xehanort's defeat
Yeah it is odd that Xehanort splitting his heart had no ill effects on his health or body. I guess he must of had an extremely powerful heart in order to survive such an ordeal.It's possible Vexen could remove the pieces being a scientist with Ansem and Ienzo's help.

I wonder if Young Xehanort, Ansem, and Xemnas require Xehanort's heart? Shouldn't they already qualify I wonder.
I wish this was something that was addressed. Like maybe the reason he doesn't show up at all in KH3 until the end was because he was recovering after splitting his heart so many ways. I suppose the destroyed pieces revert back to him, but it's never really explained. We can only guess with norting.Yeah it is odd that Xehanort splitting his heart had no ill effects on his health or body.

I guess that makes more sense with Terranort's heart coming from the past. Terranort was made when Xehanort put his whole heart into Terra. Other norted members of the Organization like Xigbar only had a piece of his heart so I suppose that's not enough for Xehanort to take control of them like he did with Terra.Still it only feels like he only had a grasp on Terra via norting.
It makes me wish there was more explanation of the Replica Xehanorts because they do seem to be linked to the norted Organization members, as they wielded their individual weapons in Scala. My headcanon is that the pieces of Xehanort's heart within each member mixed with their own darkness, so that when they were defeated, a dark heart was formed that inhabited a replica body to make a replica Xehanort.Yeah I was going to say something similar, "norted" isn't actually a thing, at least in the story we see. Maybe if the Org members had won the fight, they would have all had Xehanort's mind in Scala, is my guess. But everyone was just "half xehanort" and it doesn't actually do anything.
The Replica Xehanorts are one of the most interesting things in KH3 that we'll likely never learn anything more about. They were the ideal Organization XIII and if used better could have had a major impact on the story and lore. Xehanort finally had the perfect vessels to his liking, doing whatever he wanted without question and when adding the powers of the other Organization members he couldn't ask for better pawns.It makes me wish there was more explanation of the Replica Xehanorts because they do seem to be linked to the norted Organization members, as they wielded their individual weapons in Scala.

BBS showed how difficult it is to fight off Xehanort once he gets in. It was nearly impossible to get him out, and Terra spent a decade in darkness trying to fight off the will of Xehanort.
Xemnas was hinted to be his own being made from Terra and Xehanort through KH2 and Days; a villain, yes, but still his own person. DDD took this one step further by confirming that all Nobodies were able to grow new hearts, something that could have happened to Xemnas as well as he was a unique being as much as Roxas and Xion were.
Yet, this is never discussed on 3. We never have Roxas and Xion confronting Xemnas about who he truly was and how similar they were to him, nor is it ever addressed if Xemnas had a new, separate heart from Xehanort himself (which I believe should have been the case, really. lol)
Maybe, instead of splitting Master Xehanort up into three-four "different characters", they could have focused the Xemnas, the AnsemSOD, the other "faces" of Xehanort into one character to make his final defeat mean something. Because introducing Xemnas as the nobody of Ansem (but not the REAL ansem) who is actually Terra possessed by MX but not the Young Xehanort we saw in KHDR, DDD, Blank Points, etc...makes the ending of Ansem pathetic and unnoteworthyWhen Xemnas is defeated, he feels 'the emptiness where [his] companions once stood' and his casting them aside and not forming connections left him with 'nothing' and he ceased to exist.
