Why doesn't Xemnas remember, and how did Radiant Garden turn into Hollow Bastion?

[venomblade]

Well, if you've watched the first KH3D trailer, you see Braig saying "Xehanort you remember?" something along those lines, and AX summons MX's keyblade and goes to stab him. So I'm assuming this is in the past showing how they became nobodies, meaning AX remember who he was. , so why doesn't Xemnas remember? Is it because of the other hearts that were inside AX? Also, is Hollow Bastion just a ruined Radiant Garden? After the time Xehanort banished AtW to the RoD did Xemnas rename the place or something?

 

[Ruran]

It's still a mystery for now but I assume that AX regained some memories some how when he found the door that led to RG's heart or being near helped him summon it, or becoming a Nobody made him regain the memories or using it somehow.

I think Radiant Garden was renamed Hollow Bastion after Maleficent took it over. When the Heartless invasion happened Xemnas and the other members seemed to have just abandoned it.

I'm confused... what doesn't Xemnas remember?

His time as a Somebody.

Xemnas does remember his time as Apprentice Xehanort.

He also has apparently incomplete memory sets of both Terra and Master Xehanort...and he used the chamber of repose to regain more memories of Terra, MX or both several times.

biggest plothole in the world coming up:

if AX has a keyblade then why the hell doesn't Xemnas nor XH ESPECIALLY Xemnas who was obsessed with the keyblade wouldn't wield one if their past self had one?

if you make dat bs excuse "Xemnas didnt hav a heart so he couldnt wield a keyblade" well then...Xemnas looks aged and he is a special nobody as Nomura said so i believe Xemnas does in a way have a heart besides Nomura said Xemnas could use a keyblade but chose not to. uh.....huh...interesting

what about XH? whats his excuse then? he obv had a heart and he never used one

When asked if Xemnas could use the Keyblade, Nomura said it's unclear, but if he can, there's a reason why he chose not to. And, since it seems a lot of Xemnas is Terra, it's understandable why he wouldn't want to use the Keyblade that hurt his friends and put him in this situation.

As for A:SOD... well, it's possible he just couldn't use it because he was a Heartless.

How is it then that Data Sora's Heartless could weild/control/command multiple Keyblades? Or are we just going to say it's because they were made of data?

Sora's Shadow in Neverland from KH1 did the same. He uses a "Keyblade" if that's what you will call it.

It wasn't a real Keyblade, the Shadow from Neverland and Data!Sora's Heartless did not use a real Keyblade.
They were mere shadows of the original. Everything about them was a shadow of the original.

Notice on how Anti-Form cannot use a Keyblade. It's reasoning is based on Sora's time as a Heartless.

Okay, so Sora's Heartless or Shadow Sora using a real Keyblade is kinda out. But, if a Keyblade can possess dark memories, shouldn't SoD be able to weild one, without Riku? Or does it just boil down to that SoD forgot to how to summon a Keyblade (Or that he could entirely)?
