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?

[Chevalier Sombre]

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.

[sorafinalform]

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....
