What's up with the Memory Skyscrape fight???

[I<3Roxas]

In Deep Dive, you see Roxas going to the Memory Skyscraper to fight with Riku. But before he does a bunch of heartless attack him...If heartless only exist to collect hearts, why would they attack Roxas, who is a nobody and therefore(by definition) has no heart? It's obvious that the heartless aren't emblems and therefore work by instinct alone. So why?

 

[Wehrmacht]

Firstly, all heartless work by instinct, emblem or no. As for why they might be attacking him...well Riku was there too. Or it might be more evidence to the theory that Roxas has a heart...or it might be completely irrelevant.

 

[Seftrex]

The World That Never Was is so close to the darkness that it makes the Heartless unstable and unpredictable. This is made clear when Malifencent states this to Pete.

 

[TwilitWarrior]

Maybe they were sent after Roxas by the Organization? It seems plausible to me.

He said it himself.
It was really close to the darkness.

 

[septiroth99]

they are afraid of the keyblade, so they want to destroy it. leon says that in kh1. when you are defeated by him 1st time in traverse town.

 

[Marly]

Seftrex and sephiroth are both right..... I don't really think its something to linger on but what do I know

 

[SORA619]

BECAUSE IF YU REMEMBER HAS A DARHER SELF SO HE CAN USE THEM

 

[KershaFangs]

Along with what Seftrex and Sephiroth99 said, Heartless don't like the Nobodies. You see this when those Rabid Dogs attacked the Dusks over attacking Sora and his friends in the Underworld.

 

[SwagStarIV]

idk i think they were sent by the organization xemnas said they side with the strongest side

but i think sephiroth and Seftrex might be right

 

[Eagl]

Well Xemnas or Roxas or whoever it was called the heartless to that place so Roxas could fight them and collect hearts. Then Riku came up and the rest is history. Thats what I think

 

[XxRebel_GirlxX]

maybe this just wanted to attack him

i think the heartless attacking Roxas is bcoz he has the keyblade..
and i do agree that Roxas actually has a heart

 

[Keywielder94]

its because roxas wields keyblades.

Since he has 2 i'm guessing like a whole bunch of them tried to jump him trying to destroy the keyblades.

so yeah this thread should be closed.

 

[Arcon-Death]

That, and Riku has a heart... supposedly....

 

[Stars]

The Heartless, i think is trying to get the keyblader's heart

 

[chainfan]

remember, since sora had a nobody that gives him the power to use the keyblade: heart or no heart. think of it as a passed down ablity. and the heartless were attacking him because the heartless fear the keyblade and they want toget rid of the person who weilds it

 

[Psichosis34]

in kh1 Leon/Squal said " As long as u continue to wield the keyblade ( Sora ) the heartless will still come after u. " or something along the lines of that so i guess the heartless are attracted to the keyblade whle they also fear it their instinct is probably to destroy it. So there's the possibility that keyblades have hearts ( but that's a whole different theory ).

 

[Yuyin]

Because You touch yourself at night.

Idk like what aothers said. Since the world was close to darkness, the heartless are unpredictable.

 

[mike12]

heartless are attracted to the keyblade becuz they fear it (seems they dont have brains either) so roxas and riku have keyblades so its only natural for the heartless to attack them >_>
