Xehanort vs Kratos

Why is Xehanort hypersonic?

I don`t see what`s stopping him from just soul-wiping or simply plunging a blade through him....

Aside from somewhat warping/teleporting I see nothing that would say he is.

Apparently he has steely skin according to some. And aside from ****ing around with peoples hearts, which I had to ban because people were bitching way to much, I've never seen Xehanort do anything to someones soul.

Due to? Xehanort is hypersonic+ , he`d run circles around kratos.

Due to Kratos having faster than merely hypersonic+ reaction time.

I don't know where any of you guys are getting this hypersonic stuff from.

Soul swipe, won't work. Ares with strength comparable to Kratos and the element of surprise still could not swipe his soul.

Plunge his sword into him? He would need titanic strength to do so, as Kratos has immensely high P.S.I. durability feats.

Keyblades don't "stab" in a physical way. They have a "magical" edge, not a physical one.

That's fine. Kratos' durability feats already account for this.

I dunno. I think Xehanort would wipe his ass with Kratos, personally.

Physically, no. Every other way, yes. In fact, it's very pathetic to actually argue about whether Xehanort should be able to remove his heart when he obviously should be allowed to.

Physical or metaphysical heart?

Metaphysical. I could literally go through Kingdom Heats and change the word "heart" to the word "soul" and it would be the same exact damn thing. I guess I'd have to call it Kingdom Souls then huh?

I actually kinda like that name honestly. >_>

That's hilarious bro...

Kratos has no speed feats in cut-scenes.

You think someone who busts skyscrapers with slashes won't be able to cut Kratos?

Due to what? Kratos was easily stabbed by Zeus, and is easily hurt by fodder like demon dogs, greeks, skeletons, etc....

And the only soul-resistance i saw from Kratos was against hade's claws.

and yes i was referring to him ****ing in people's hearts.

Xehanort never slashes through skyscrapers. Likely could but it has never been seen.

Then no he shouldn't be allowed. 'Hearts' are things only Kingdom Hearts guys have. Kratos doesn't have one in his own game, so to give him one in this thread would just be gimping him.

Cool. So if Kratos tried to rip out Xehanorts soul it wouldn't work because Xehanort doesn't have a soul?

Yes.

But i would think since Sora could do it easily Xehanort wouldn't have much trouble.

Except he does, in cutscenes. I feel no need to elaborate at this moment, quite tired. And not everyone is as well versed in Kratos' various feats throughout all the games, comics, and novel as a handful of people here are, such as myself, so I don't blame you for not knowing. Maybe Demonic Phoenix will come by later. It's all pretty common stuff that's been posted here before many times basically so I feel no urgency in going over it again.

Considering Kratos' cutscene durability feats are multiple orders of magnitudes above what it takes to cut modestly large buildings, absolutely.

Due to what? Kratos was easily stabbed by Zeus, and is easily hurt by fodder like demon dogs, greeks, skeletons, etc....

Except he's never been hurt by anything other than immortal characters in cutscenes. Fodder have never, ever, bothered him.

And he's also tanked slashes from Zeus wielding the Blade of Olympus. Kratos has strength in the range of millions and millions of tons, and Zeus is equal to him in that regard. No one in Kingdom Hearts is on this level of course. He was stabbed while weakened, and later had to stab himself after charging the sword up. Piercing/Stabbing of course imparts far more P.S.I. than slashing, so its of no surprise that with effort he can be stabbed with the B.o.O with his own strength class behind it.

Hearts in KH are just another term for soul so they can be equated. Unless they are the litteral heart I guess

Cool. So if Kratos tried to rip out Xehanorts soul it wouldn't work because Xehanort doesn't have a soul?

No, because souls are things that transcend media. Everything in fiction is expected to have a soul because its such a prevailent trope. It's like how characters are assumed to breath even if theres no indication that they do (no breathing animation etc). Therefore, unless shown otherwise, a sentient being is assumed to ave a soul.

'Hearts' on the other hand, are limited to Kingdom Hearts. They exist purely in this franchise and only characters within that medium possess them. Assuming that every fictional being has a metaphysical heart is a folly. It would be like assuming that every fictional being has telekinesis, chakra or mana. That every character is plugged into the Matrix. Patently false.

Hearts in KH are just another term for soul so they can be equated.

If this is true then it would be acceptable. If.
