Sora Heartless

[JULIO VP]

Me forgot...........Why did Sora became a Shadow Heartless and still was like..sane? Didnt he say "what happend?" like it was still him. Also how he get his Heart back?...did Soras' Heart went with Kairi?
Me forgot what happend?

[Amulet]

I'm guessing not all Heartless give into temptation right away.
Kairi is a PoH meaning she has a heart of pure light, her heart got rid of the darkness in Sora's heart.

[WantaSoraplushie]

Sora is odd. That's basically the only way to discribe it. He didn't give in to the darkness at first because that's just not like him.

Why did Sora became a Shadow Heartless and still was like..sane? Didnt he say "what happend?" like it was still him.

Because Sora had a strong heart, and clung on to his sense of self for as long as he could. Only he and Xehanort accomplished this. And Sora wasn't a Heartless for a very long time, Kairi found him just in time to bring him back. If Sora was a Heartless any longer, he would have been lost to primal Heartless instincts.

Also how he get his Heart back?...did Soras' Heart went with Kairi?

As a Heartless, Sora was a heart covered with darkness. Heartless ARE the hearts, they were never lost in the first place. Kairi's POH powers cleansed the darkness enveloping his heart.She did not purify him, but merely lift the blanket of darkness from his heart, therefore his heart is still intact with light and darkness. So for the duration of COM, he was a human-form heart.

Sora had also willingly chosen to sacrifice his heart, like Xehanort had done (though for vastly different reasons, of course). It's strongly suggested that played a part in Sora's ability to retain his mind (at least temporarily) as a Heartless.

Okay, so I totally agree with what you're saying, but there's one thing I don't get. If heartless are just hearts covered in darkness, then why are they called heartLESS? This has never made sense to me...

They are discussing that here.

Well, I still find it a bit odd. Does this mean that if Sora hung around for like, say, 5 hours, he would have lost his own self to the darkness?

Yes. Sora himself said as much.

"I started forgetting things. My friends, who I was..... But then I heard a voice, your voice!"

Kairi reached him in time before he completely forgotten everything.

[Heartless Person]

Sora had a strong heart and that is what kept him form attacking Kairi, and he got his heart back after Kairi hugged him as a heartless.

[Yuuki]

he was turn into a heartless when he release kairi's heart.

But wouldn't the forgetting be the effect of the formation of Roxas, who initially took the memories before Sora snatched them back?

I think it has to do with Sora willingly turning into Heartless. Emblems reproduce only be stealing the hearts of others. When a person chooses to submit to the Heartless without being attacked by Emblems, they become Purebloods. Sora underwent the natural process of turning into a Heartless. Also, he turned into a Shadow, the weakest of the Heartless, because he had little darkness inside his heart.

Purebloods do have hearts, they just don't release it once they are defeated.

Memories are the sense of self. They're the only thing Sora has to prevent himself from giving into Heartless instincts.
