Template:Q The Unversed (アンヴァース, Anvāsu^?)^[1], meaning "those who were not well-versed in their own existences", are the main enemies of the game Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. They are considered "the opposite of human life" and grow from the negative emotions produced when Vanitas was created from Ventus. It is because of this that Vanitas is able to control them. By all accounts, the Unversed are extensions of Vanitas himself.

Chronologically, the Unversed are either the first or second enemy referenced during Deep Dive, as they are the second race to manifest, but the first to attack the Realm of Light.

Story

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

Vanitas and Unversed — Vanitas explains to Ventus about the Unversed's existence.

Around the same time as Master Xehanort's leave from the Land of Departure, the existence of the Unversed is brought to the attention of Master Eraqus by the Keyblade master's old friend, Master Yen Sid. Master Eraqus sends Terra and Aqua (two of his three apprentices) on a quest to find Master Xehanort and put an end to the threat to the Princesses of Heart posed by the Unversed. Eraqus did not plan on Ventus (the youngest apprentice) going after Terra, due to Vanitas' manipulations. Due to Ventus's final battle with Vanitas (his dark half) that the truth behind the existence of the Unversed is revealed.

Vanitas explains that the Unversed are his loyal creations, and since he is a being created from the purest, most raw form of darkness, he can manipulate the negative thoughts and emotions of other people to serve his and Master Xehanort's ends. He spawned these negative emotions as the Unversed and spread them across as many of the worlds as he could, so that Terra, Ventus, and Aqua can fight destroy them and grow stronger in the process. Any of the negativity released by defeated Unversed eventually returns to Vanitas, who can just respawn them into the worlds. The whole Unversed race disappears upon the the destruction of their progenitor, Vanitas, at the hands of Ventus.

Appearance

UnversedEyes — The eyes of a crying Unversed.

Several varieties of Unversed appear over the course of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Emotion was a key component in their conception and design. Thus they are seen with smiling, angry, and crying "faces", referring to the shape of their red eyes, which all Unversed share. The emblem most Unversed are christened with is also meant to represent a heart that expresses emotion. ^[2]

List of Unversed

Trivia

Unlike Heartless bosses and Nobody bosses (whom are enveloped in light when defeated), the Unversed bosses are consumed in a dark flame when vanquished.
They lack a direct link to the heart, but are beings that represent emotions in hearts.
For some reason the Unversed are diffrent colors in Final Mix. For example the Floods are blue in the original but purple in Final MIx.

Notes and references

↑ At one point, the Unversed were known in the past as "Unbirths" due to a fan mistranslation.
↑ Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania Nomura Interview Their design concept became the theme of ‘emotion’, and we went with various motifs, such as a laughing face, angry face and crying face. The Unversed mark was also modeled on the heart from emotions.
