Names Known of the Knights Confirmed!
TheWertle is currently translating an interview found in the Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ Ultimania:
The full translation will come soon, but it has been confirmed that the names of the three Knights in the secret ending are related to elements just like Sora, Kairi, and Riku are, and that two of the knights are indeed Aqua and Ven. Update: We now know the name of the Enigmatic Soldier is Terra thanks to another interview with Nomura! Click the images to enlarge them:
Nomura has also hinted that Ven and Roxas may be related in some way!
Kairi (similar to Umi) means Sea - Aqua means Water
Riku means Land - Terra means Earth
This is the Enigmatic Soldier for those who don’t know already.

If Ven and Roxas are related, then doesn’t that mean that Ven is also related to Sora?
on 09 May 2007 at 11:17 pm 2. jose
wow i wonder whats the name of the other one maybeits i think his name should be vale,terra,dust,or globe(haha)cause i went in to dictionary.com and they all are synonyms to earth and land. im just saying but vale or dust fit him the most.(haha)
on 09 May 2007 at 11:20 pm 3. Riku
They’re only English synonyms though - I’m guessing it’ll be something else.
Yes it does theoretically mean that, vinan123.
on 09 May 2007 at 11:22 pm 4. sanda
@ vinan123
possibly. I think chasers are the 4th form of existence:
somebodies, nobodies, heartless, chasers.
So if thats true, then yea Ven would be related to Sora
on 09 May 2007 at 11:31 pm 5. Kai
Omg u get it. Ven means Fire… Aqua means Water or ocean and Bald Hair guy proplay we donno his name but maybe means Ice?? ty so mutch
on 09 May 2007 at 11:33 pm 6. Kai
Im opening kh’s site soon
on 09 May 2007 at 11:36 pm 7. vinan123
So if Ven really is related Sora and Roxas, then the next game must take place in the future, which would also explain why Ven looks older than Sora and Roxas.
on 09 May 2007 at 11:54 pm 8. Riku
Kai, Nomura has confirmed that Ven and Aqua mean Wind and Water, and that the third one is related to Earth.

on 10 May 2007 at 12:13 am 11. jose
dude nomura said they werent sora kairi or riko ,ok
on 10 May 2007 at 12:17 am 12. Riku
None of the characters are Sora, Kairi, or Riku. Two of the characters are Aqua and Ven. Ven may be related to Roxas. Their names are related to elements which are related to eachother. Get it now?
on 10 May 2007 at 1:27 am 13. vinan123
No, thats not my e-mail.
on 10 May 2007 at 2:04 am 14. Dechiet
Wow~ if only we knew the ES’ name. He is my fave after all~ I can’t wait to see the connection to Ven and Roxas.
I wonder why they are so loathe to reveal ES’ name? OwO
on 10 May 2007 at 2:48 am 15. VenFan
How exactly do you find all of this? Like, what websites do you go on? What sources do you use to find all of this? I want to help with discovering new things about the upcmoing Kingdom Hearts games, books, ect.
on 10 May 2007 at 3:09 am 16. you'realldumb
omg you guys are retarded, how can you be that flippin dumb. ven means wind, sora means sky. see the flippin connection morons.??? kairi means sea, aqua means water(duh!). see the connections???
jeeze how could any one be such a moron.
its soo obvious, pull your head out of butt and use common sense

I knew that Aqua & Kairi had some connection. If Ven is related to Roxas, he must be related to Sora since Roxas is Sora’s Nobody. I’m counting down the days until they reveal more about the Secret Ending. I do have a small theory. In the scene where Xemnas was talking to the armor on the floor, maybe Aqua was just data that re-materializes into the armor. If not, then maybe Xemnas is just crazy. But if Aqua is still alive then either she was brought back to the present, or the Keyblade War happened in the not to distant past. I think I’ve cracked Mickey’s appearance in the secret ending. I stated elsewhere that during the Keyblade War, and before King Mickey was the “King”, he trained under Yensid. When Yensid learned of this new evil, he trained Mickey in the arts of The Keyblade. When he thought Mickey was ready, he sent him off to battle, so Mickey might’ve gotten his Kingdom Key during his time in the Dark Realm. So, the Legend about one Keyblade weilder saving the world might’ve been Mickey. Now, there’s two Enigmatic Soldiers who both dawn the same armor, but aren’t the same person. They let out Aqua & Ven, but are hell bent on keeping the last one a secret. If it’s that important, he must be a MAJOR character, but he does resemble Xehanort. The Soldier who fought Sora head the same armor, but wasn’t Xehanort. I do hope my reincarnation theory is right. It took a while for me to come up with that.

Something that I found in my research of Aqua and Ven’s names:
Ven comes from ‘Ventus’ meaning ‘Wind’, but a root search on just ‘Ven’ reveals the word ‘Venatus’, meaning ‘the chase’. If we take ‘Chaser’ to mean ‘hunter’ rather than a weapon-maker, then his name has two ties. (Terms relating to poison also crop up.)
Also to note: ‘Ventus’ and ‘Venatus’ are masculine words. ‘Aqua’ is feminine. ‘Terra’, the word most directly tied to earth in Latin, is also feminine.
This doesn’t mean that the E.S. is a woman, since he definitely looks like a guy. After all, the words ‘Aquator’ (water-bearer) and ‘Aquaeductus’ (aquaduct) are masculine, though their root is feminine. It’s up to you whether a name like ‘Terrator’ is too far-fetched for the E.S. (I personally think a name like ‘Solum’ is more likely; it’s neuter, but it doesn’t look as odd as ‘Terrator’.)
on 10 May 2007 at 6:13 am 19. TheWertle
Perhaps Terran?
on 10 May 2007 at 6:41 am 20. Shakespeare
I’m trying my best, but the text in the photo is too blurry to read…the only paragraph that I could make out clearly was the part of the last one of the first column:
‘Sou de wa nai desu. O-sama wa genzai. Hikari to yami no dochira no sekai no KIIBUREEDO mo tsukaeru sougu* desu ne.’
‘That’s not it. The king is there. The Light and the Darkness of each world’s Keyblade are both used to find/change foolishness (?), right?’
…Whatever, I’m too tired, and hardly qualified to translate Japanese…I’m only in 4th year, and I’m still in high school.
(* - the kanji combination is too blurry to make out; it appears to be ‘状戇’…the first is read ’sou’ and means ‘look for, seek; make change’, and the second is read ‘gu’/'oroka’ (according to my computer) and means ‘foolish, stupid’.)
on 10 May 2007 at 6:42 am 21. Shakespeare
‘Terran’ could be a possibility; after all, the names don’t have to be perfect Latin or anything.
on 10 May 2007 at 7:31 am 22. tiredofwaiting
Who knows to be sure, this is a major development. Oh and to all those who thought Ven was Roxas, will you FINALLY SHUT UP???!!!
on 10 May 2007 at 11:59 am 23. vinan123
The E.S. isn’t Xehanort, but is obviously connected to him somehow. I think that there is a fourth form of existence just as sanda wrote, but I don’t think that it’s called a chaser. I think it’s called an Endless. My theory is that when a Nobody is destroyed or gives up its existence an Endless is created. They are called Endless because they are immortal. This would explain why Nomura said that Ven had a connection to Roxas, and not Sora. Ven was ‘born’ from Roxas, not Sora.
on 10 May 2007 at 12:47 pm 24. Riku
The theory has been around awhile, only named “Endless” because of the word in Deep Dive, and has also been named “Soulless” because the new immortal being would be born from the soul of a Nobody. (Heartless have hearts and Nobodies are bodies, which would lead us to believe that Soulless have souls.)
However, I don’t see how it would be possible for an Endless/Soulless to take on human form.
on 10 May 2007 at 1:35 pm 25. Shakespeare
I had considered a similar theory (if you can isolate the heart from the body, why not the soul?), but the Secret Ansem reports state that a being cannot exist without a soul (they simply die). Unless the Endless are ghosts and their somebodies/nobodies have died/disappeared, then their existence would break their own canon.
Nomura’s statements in Another Report say that if a Nobody is destroyed and their Heartless had been destroyed prior (like Xehanort), then the heart (waiting in stasis for its body) and the body reunite, and they return to existence. If the Heartless is at large, then they just fade away.
It’s because of this statement, as well as the Secret Ansem Report, that have lead me to believe that there isn’t a fourth form of existence…unless you DO mean a ghost; they would certainly be ‘endless’, because you can’t kill something that’s already dead (except for zombies), but I don’t think the reception would be that great. (Extreme right-wing evangelicals probably already dislike KH for having MAGIC SPELLS in it or being tied to ‘questionable’ Disney movies like Aladdin or something. We’re dealing with the people who protested Pokemon.)

The Enigmatic Soldier in the picture above is Xehanort. The picture looks exactly like him. The E.S. that challenges Sora isn’t Xehanort, but he knows him, and not in a good way. There must be a close connection between him & Xehanort. Maybe a relative we didn’t know about, or maybe in some relation to Sora, or Riku. There has to be more behind this. There’s gotta be a HUGE reason why they’re keeping his name so Top Secret. I think Xehanort has some kinda of power to keep himself alive. If he had the ability to turn himself into a Heartless and a Nobody, surely there’s gotta be some story behind how he’s still alive.
on 10 May 2007 at 6:56 pm 27. Riku
The Enigmatic Soldier in the picture above looks nothing like Xehanort and is the same as the Enigmatic Soldier that challenges Sora. Nomura confirmed all three were brand new characters, and the name Xehanort isn’t connected to elements of some sort as his name only came from rearranging “Another” and “No Heart” adding an “X”.
Whatever the name is, we won’t have heard it yet.
on 10 May 2007 at 7:53 pm 28. eric
can u explain the history about the secret m,ovie?
on 10 May 2007 at 8:18 pm 29. jayme
sense ven is realted to roxas, aqua might be related to namiea (kiaras nobody, sorry i can spelled good) then the third guy could be related to rikus nobody and this nobody will be revleaed in the third kh that is maybe why they are keeping it secert, and i also think that there will be another game in between kh2 and 3 it that is when rikus nobody is created and i think this war is in the distant furture. and i think the secert ending shows how the world will end and in kh3 he has to stop that from happening and i also think that the org. 13 was org. 14 becuase in a video i saw it said something about xeames getting rid of the orginal leader, and the orginal leader was ansem the wise’s nobody. and something went wrong when he was expirment and created a heartless and nobody of him but still was himself. so that is maybe why he started expiementing on his assitances and that is how the rest of the organizations people were created so what im saying is that the old guy in the secert video is ansem the wise’s nobody. or his nobdy could have been created when the machine expoled. so that is what i think about the new people in the secert video are
on 10 May 2007 at 8:43 pm 30. KevKH
All of u finally figured all of dis out….wow

on 10 May 2007 at 8:49 pm 33. jayme
kevKH
on 10 May 2007 at 9:13 pm 34. Riku
Jayme - Riku never became a Heartless and therefore doesn’t have and has never had a Nobody to be related to.
on 10 May 2007 at 9:15 pm 35. jayme
riku- ya but i mean his nobody could be created later and the war is in the future maybe
it is just a theory
i dont know
on 10 May 2007 at 9:29 pm 36. wiinus
omg thats so riku.
on 10 May 2007 at 9:48 pm 37. toni
i think the enigmatic soldier is related to riku….
on 10 May 2007 at 9:59 pm 38. vinan123
I don’t think that Ansem has a Heartless or a Nobody, because he didn’t lose his heart, he was simply killed.
on 10 May 2007 at 11:17 pm 39. Shakespeare
Jayme, what video did you see this in? Because when Organization XIII started, there were only 6 members; the Nobodies of Xehanort (callin himself Ansem), Braig, Dilan, Even, Elaeus, and Ienzo.
Now Xehanort DID get rid of Ansem the Wise, the leader of their research group and the ruler of Radiant Garden, but he wasn’t the leader of Organization XIII. That’s always been Xemnas.
The E.S. doesn’t look /exactly/ like Xehanort…there is a resemblance, but there is a resemblance between a lot of Nomura’s characters, because they’re all drawn by him. Xehanort has white hair and a darker complexion; the E.S. has very pale skin. Yes, the E.S. is related in some way to Riku, at the very least through his name. The relation to Riku is most likely symbolic, though, so don’t read too much into that statement.
on 10 May 2007 at 11:21 pm 40. jayme
Shakespeare-i found out that my theroy is like totaly wrong but i remember a video that showed 2 org. members talking and they said something about axems getting rid of the surpuoir or something like that i dont really remember it, sorry for my spelling
