Oddly enough, the Kingdom Hearts Orchestral Theme |

I know this community is kind of dying, but I did come upon something quite interesting.
I was watching 'Deep Dive' again, ^^;; and I noticed necklaces on the unknowns. If you have it on your computer, go ahead and take a close look. I personally find it better to view it in the dark, so the contrast is greater, and you notice the smaller details. But anywho, back to the necklaces. The glowing eye, dual, and blind unknowns all bear very similar necklaces, especially Dual and Blind. Unfortunately, my computer doesn't seem to be letting me take screenshots. If it were, I'd offer examples.
Several theories formed in my mind about this (to my knowledge) always overlooked principle. The fact that Blind and Dual's necklaces are just about identical intrigues me, it's yet another thing that ties the two together. As for the purpose of the necklaces, the only thing I can think of is an ID. (Which is one of the 13 points) My purposed reason for the difference between Glowing-eye and Dual or Blind's necklaces is that Glowing-eye is Ansem, or more likely, the shell of his former self. When he embraced the darkness, Ansem's body was lost. (This is confirmed by the Ansem reports) There is also the appearance of the heartless emblem, the fact that no hair is showing (Ansem keeps his tied back), the eyes (they match his in color and sheer eerie-ness :P), and the boots, which resemble Ansem's as well. But one X factor remains; the nonexistent one seems to be young looking. Ah, but wait, I'll get to that in a second.
Now, the separate worlds/dimensons are: The Present World, Light, Darkness, and In-between. There may be more in existence, but these three are they only ones confirmed in Ansem's reports. My theory, is that if you loose one component of your being (be it body, heart, or soul), then a nonexistent one is born. This would explain the appearance of so many unknowns that look alike.
Getting back to the purposed nonexistent Ansem. Ansem was younger than he was in the game when he first embraces the darkness. We aren't given a date per-say, but I'm willing to bet this was when he was a young man of perhaps 20. That would give the heartless plenty of time to fester and grow, as well as giving Ansem enough time to master the powers of the heartless. There, that explains the age difference.
As for Blind and Dual's strikingly similar necklaces, I'd say that's because they both emerged in the In-between world at about the same time, no to mention their connection to each other. As you recall, Sora lost his heart, as well as Riku. That would be the point in which the their nonexistent counterparts were 'born,' and well, 'tagged' with the necklaces. From there, everyone knows of the whole 'Riku was blinded by light when he transcended into darkness,' and 'Sora's possession of the Oathkeeper'. So, moving on...
I'm guessing that Riku didn't transcend into a heartless, because Ansem was using his body. Because of the strength of his heart, and Sora's connection to him, he was able to be restored. The same proved true for Sora when Kairi brought him back.
In his interview, Tetsuya Nomura wrote down the single word 'connections' as the theme for the entire universe. The theme rings throughout the whole game, right down to the end, as does the theme of balance. To be restored, there has to be another person in the Present world wanting you back, that is connected to your heart. Riku and Sora are obviously connected to each other, which is why they were able to close the door to the Kingdom Hearts, but one had to stay on each side to seal it. That restores the balance. The statement in 'The World's Prison' confirms this. "Two will seal the Door of Darkness." Booyakka. :P
So, that pretty much ends my long theory of the necklaces 'ID's' Thorough? Yep. Overkill? Probably. Confusing as hell? I hope it wasn't too bad. ^^;; Just trying to think outside of the box.
