Xigbar: Difference between revisions

Present when [[Xion]] joins the Organization, Xigbar is shocked when [[Demyx]] reveals the eliminations that took place at [[Castle Oblivion]]. Later joining [[Roxas]] on a recon mission to [[Agrabah]], they overhear [[Aladdin]] and [[Jasmine]] discussing the rebuilding of their city after many sandstorms strike. Xigbar also tells Roxas that while Heartless leave a heart behind when destroyed, there is nothing left when a Nobody perishes. On a recon mission to Olympus Coliseum, Xigbar tells Roxas about how Nobodies come into existence, and that they are looking to refill the empty seats left by the demise of the Castle Oblivion team. Xigbar later challenges Roxas at [[Olympus Coliseum]] when he first enters the Games, claiming to "care about his future." The fight is cut short when the [[Guard Armor]] appears. During a mission in [[Halloween Town]], Xigbar takes it upon himself to teach Roxas a "hard and valuable lesson" by letting him vanquish a Heartless that was not their target; he then saves Roxas from an attack by [[Chill Ripper]], their real target.  

The Organization eventually departs, but Xigbar, still hooded, stays behind to taunt Sora further, and compares the glare Sora gives him to the way [[Ventus]] used to look at him. Sora dismisses his words as babble, and Xigbar returns to the World That Never Was. As the Organization discusses whether Sora is strong enough to slay Heartless for them, Xigbar assures them that Sora is clearly pure of heart, and calls Demyx on trying to excuse his own laziness.

Later, Sora and his friends storm the Castle That Never Was, and are held up by a swarm of Heartless summoned by Saïx in the [[Hall of Empty Melodies]], just as [[Kairi]], [[Riku]], [[Maleficent]], and [[Pete]] arrive in two more groups. Xigbar unleashes a rain of bullets from above to destroy the Heartless surrounding Sora. He attempts to confuse Sora by criticizing his skill and treating him as if he were Roxas, then engages him in battle. Though he is defeated by Sora, but as he fades into darkness, he continues to mock Sora's ignorance of Roxas.

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 wears the usual Organization garb of a black cloak, black boots, and black gloves, though his cloak is distinguished by its more pointed, sagging shoulders. The sleeves of his cloak are also somewhat closer-fitting than normal, though not as close as those on [[Axel|Axel's]] cloak. In terms of facial features, Xigbar sports gold eyes, pointed ears, upturned eyebrows, and dark hair with several grey streaks that is tied into a long ponytail. His gold eye and pointed ears are traits that he gained due to harboring a fragment of Master Xehanort's heart, which he accepted during his time as Braig.{{fact}}<!--source to Nomura interview about certain characters being related to Xehanort--> The grey streaks in his hair, which is also considerably longer than Braig's and worn tied back, are the primary indicators of his status as a Nobody, as these traits were lost upon his reunion with his original heart.{{storylink|Destiny}}

In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Xigbar has a Limit Break called [[Critical Snipe]], in which he fires massive energy bullets at enemies, using an over-the-shoulder third-person-shooter mode to aim. His Final Limit shoots orbs of coloured energy.

In ''Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance'', Xigbar utilizes his sniper rifle once more in a cutscenes while confronting Sora.  The rifle, as well as the scope HUD, were both retained in the English release.
