Castle Oblivion/Namine

[Lezard Valeth]

Riku didn't lose his memory, if the castle had this power, Zexion would have modified Riku's mind.

I'd say the Castle has still a big role... Maybe linked with MX.

Riku didn't lose his memories is bcoz...ee..Ansem? I dunno. XD
Yeah. It could be MX 's castle.

It was Namine's Fault.
The Only Power We know that the Castle Can Do is using the Cards.

also in a way riku controls the darkness and so far the darkness doesnt lose its memories

Is that really a power in that castle? O.o;;

[BetwiXt&Betw33nX]

[wizy123]

To fairly honest with you, I don't think it was the castle that did it considering that though he went up and down and though Marluxia had told him, "to find is to lose" I think it was that Namine had been the affect considering when she stopped, Sora's memories weren't lost anymore or something like that and that Namine but then again, from what I read, I think it's probably the castle itself had an effect in some other ways such as when he keeps going up and all...

Namine could only re-arrange Sora's memories, right?Not exactly make him lose memories.

No, she can't, but as she explained to Sora, he never "lost" his memories in the first place. She undid the chains that linked them together, put some new ones in that featured her, and basically rearranged things so that he couldn't recall Kairi or anyone besides Riku, Donald, and Goofy. That's why she told him that she could restore his memory, because she just had to find the old ones and put it back together again.

As others have already stated, this was all Namine's doing, not the castle. I'm sure the castle has many secrets, but I don't think memory loss is one of them. Even if it had no effect on Nobodies, something should have happened to Riku, DiZ, or King Mickey. But nothing did.

Kay, here's how it works. The cards control everything in the castle. Whoever controls the cards controls the castle. A person needs cards to progress through the castle, and those cards can be created from said person's memory. So, the castle has a connection to memory. Namine' appeared there, according to Nomura. Namine' is the reason that Sora and co.'s memories were rearranged. The castle only projects people's memories to them. All of this is pure Fact of Canon and Word of Nomura. No theorizing involved. Now, my theory is that Castle Oblivian is somehow connected to Namine's powers. And it only affects Sora and those connected to him because she came out of Sora, but the heart she came from was not Sora's.

Namine Was Able To Rearange Memories Yet Also Add New Ones For There Were Cut Scenes Which Never Happned..
And I Belive It Was Both The Castle And Namine For Riku Didnt Lose Memories As Ansem Wasn't Letting Him.. ??

Mabye

the sad thing is sora wont remember Namine or any of them it is so sad! Namine is so cool and sweet that i want to hug her. she didnt know better. oh well.... anyway the castle have we agreed on it being magical or not.... well it has to be if it is controled with cards and how could sora and Riku miss each other

[O a t h keeper]

As far as we know, Castle Oblivion had nothing to do with Sora's memory loss. Namine just used her powers to rearrange Sora's "chain of memories".

However, Castle Oblivion's true prupose is shrouded in mystery. Organization XIII was there because they happened upon it and Xemnas sent six members there to do experiments. Obviously, we know that the rooms of the castle become the environments from one's memory. But my question is, why does Organization XIII care? I think that Castle Oblivion's origin and purpose will be brought up again in Birth by Sleep or KHIII, as it obviously has some connection with Xehanort's memories.

Well..
In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix,
There is a scene where Zexion and Xiaber are talking and they mention they sent the new member Marluxia To there New base , castle oblivion ..
