So I've been playing a lot of KH lately...

And there's a huge plot hole that I don't know if it's been explained.

In BBS, the King takes a leading role in the fight against darkness. The main antagonist in that fight is Master Xehanort. But when MX fuses his body with Terra and becomes Ansem's apprentice, Mickey doesn't even recognize the name "Xehanort" when he meets Terra-MX a few years later (flashback in KH2). Why? Did he just forget the name of the Sauron-esque villain who's been the main catalyst for the whole conflict in the series?

Long story short, has this been explained, or is it just another lingering plot hole?

My logic is that anything that is not Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, is non canon simply because they have a fuck ton of spin offs.

This is the one and only thing that's bugged me, maybe he simply thought it impossible to somehow be the same person and just took it as a naive student who happened to have the same name. No one was aware of MX's plan till 3D's so how could he simply assume that the young man in front of him was one in the same to his old nemesis.

Not to mention he doesn't exactly look like Terra (Terranort) after his transformation, and Terra was the only one to witness MX transferring his own heart.

It actually has a really deep and complete plot if you're willing to take the time to understand it. Occasionally inconsistencies like this pop up, though.

If by deep and complete you mean dumb and convoluted. Listen I enjoy the fuck out of KH (the only ones I haven't played are BBS and DDD), but the story is not it's strong suit.

Then you and I just have different tastes. By the way, though, it's pretty dumb to criticize a game series' plot when you haven't even played the most important and plot-heavy game in it.

Is that BBS or DDD? Cause I don't know anything about either. From everything I've played though the story isn't anything to write home about.

BBS. It explains and elaborates on so much, and changes more to the mythology than KH2 did. And hey, if you don't like the plot, that's your deal. I immensely enjoy it, though. The Roxas/Axel relationship is fantastic in particular.
