Xigbar appears to Sora at [[The World That Never Was]], explaining he, Young Xehanort, and the others secretly arranged for Sora's journey through the [[Sleeping Worlds]] to bring him to their domain. Looking back to see Sora intending to attack him, noting the angry look, Xigbar tells him that Young Xehanort will take his place as the youth places Sora in a deep sleep.
By the time Sora reaches The World That Never Was, Braig has once again become his Nobody, Xigbar, and makes his entrance to Sora. He explains that the new Organization had secretly arranged for Sora's journey through the [[Sleeping Worlds]] to bring him to their domain, and hands the reins to Young Xehanort as the youth places Sora in a deep sleep.


Later, as Sora makes his way to the Castle That Never Was, Xigbar confronts him again, and he and Xemnas reveal that the true purpose of Organization XIII was to gather thirteen empty vessels to hold the essence of Xehanort and become other incarnations of him. When Sora demands to know how Xigbar could live with having his personality replaced with another's, Xigbar merely quips that he is already "half-Xehanort." When Sora resolves to fight the two Organization members, a livid Xigbar leaves Xemnas to deal with Sora. Later, in Where Nothing Gathers, Xigbar sits in Vexen's former throne while observing Master Xehanort's return and his attempt to make Sora into his final vessel. He initially mistakes [[Lea]] for Axel after Lea unexpectedly arrives to defend Sora from Master Xehanort. Although Saïx and Ansem attempt to thwart the rescue, reinforcements arrive in the form of Donald and Goofy. As the heroes advance, the Organization's allotted time expires and Ansem, Xemnas, Young Xehanort, Vanitas and Dark Riku return to their rightful points in time; Xigbar, Saïx, Larxene, Luxord, Marluxia, Terra-Xehanort, and Master Xehanort flee elsewhere.
Later, as Sora reaches the edge of the dreamlike Dark City, Xigbar and Xemnas confront him again, explaining to the boy that the true purpose of Organization XIII was to gather thirteen potential vessels for Xehanort's heart, and provokes Sora's shock by revealing that he is already a completed vessel. When Sora resolves to fight the two Organization members, a livid Xigbar leaves Xemnas to deal with Sora.
 
Later, at Where Nothing Gathers, Xigbar is in attendance as Master Xehanort returns and attempts to make Sora his final vessel. However, they are interrupted by the arrival of Lea, Donald, and Goofy, resulting in the expiration of the Organization's allotted time. As the time-travelling members retreat to their rightful points in time, Master Xehanort and the Nobodies, including Xigbar, flee elsewhere.

Xigbar, according to Larxene, seems to be the driving force behind the Real Organization XIII's search for the black box.{{fact}}

During Sora's visit to [[Olympus]], Xigbar has Heartless attack the already damaged city<!--Hades had no interest in using the Heartless and Maleficent was not interested in attacking that world--> to put people in more danger.{{fact}} Xigbar appears to Sora, saying that he can't recover his power like [[Hercules]] did; an "average joe" like Sora cannot possibly accomplish the same feat with endangering others. Nevertheless, he tells Sora to find the hearts connected to him; before leaving, he mentions a "reward" just around the corner for Sora. Later, he monitors [[Maleficent]] and [[Pete]]'s failed quest for the [[Black Box]] in Olympus. Watching them leave, Xigbar recites, "May your heart be your guiding key".
During Sora's visit to [[Olympus]], Xigbar has the Heartless attack the already damaged city to put the citizens in more danger.{{fact}} During a particularly fraught rescue in a collapsing building, Xigbar intrudes on Sora and taunts him, insinuating that Sora cannot recover his power without endangering others. Later, he observes as [[Maleficent]] and [[Pete]], following faulty information from Hades, dig up [[Pandora's Box]] instead of the [[Black Box]].
 
Sometime after, Xigbar arrives in [[Twilight Town]] and warns Ansem and Xemnas of not being too straightforward with their plans for Sora, reminding them that he has ruined their schemes before and could likely do it again.
 
Xigbar, according to Larxene, seems to be the driving force behind the Real Organization XIII's search for the black box, and seemingly one of the few members to truly know the contents of said artifact, as Luxord, the main agent tasked with the box's recovery, knows nothing of its contents, besides a vague mention of "hope" existing within it.


In the final battle of the seven Guardians of Light against the thirteen Seekers of Darkness in the Keyblade Graveyard, Xigbar appears just as [[Dark Riku]] confronts the Guardians, giving him the order of unleashing an army of Heartless to stop them in their tracks.
Sometime after, Xigbar arrives in [[Twilight Town]] and cautions Ansem and Xemnas against sharing too much of their plans with Sora.


Xigbar then fights Sora and Riku together with Dark Riku. Defeated by Sora and Riku, Xigbar bluffs that he joined Xehanort because he promised to bequeath his Keyblade to him when they won; Xigbar notes he might have won with a Keyblade. Sora and Riku, furious, claim no Keyblade would ever find him worthy. However, Xigbar claims he would be found worthy, with unsettling security, before faking his death by falling into abyss below the labyrinth.
After Sora causes a [[singularity]] and revives the Guardians at the Keyblade Graveyard, Xigbar confronts them alongside [[Dark Riku]] and instructs his colleague to hold them off, then retreats. However, Sora and Riku shortly catch up to the pair at the Skein of Severance, where they manage to vanquish both darknesses. Faking his termination, Xigbar claims that he would have won had he the Keyblade that Xehanort promised him, to the Guardians' protests, then throws himself off a wall into the canyon below.


Following the sealing of Kingdom Hearts, Xigbar comes out of hiding, reclaiming his old [[No Name]] Keyblade; with the [[Black Box]] by his side, Xigbar summons the [[Foreteller]]s ([[Ira]], [[Aced]], [[Invi]] and [[Gula]]) to his presence, revealing his true identity to them and the role he played. Xigbar expresses no surprise at [[Ava]] not having appeared, even after he told her his entire role at beginning of the first Keyblade War, claiming she has fulfilled hers.
After Master Xehanort's ultimate defeat and the departure of the Guardians, Xigbar returns to claim the resurfaced Black Box and his ancient [[No Name]] Keyblade, just as [[Ira]], [[Aced]], [[Invi]], and [[Gula]] return to the world, having been summoned by the realization of the Keyblade War and the opening of Kingdom Hearts. He identifies himself as their erstwhile companion, [[Luxu]], and affirms that events have transpired just as the Master had foretold. He remarks on [[Ava]]'s absence, claiming that like him, she has fulfilled her true role.
