Sora first encounters Rinzler on a bridge, where they prepare to fight. Hiding nearby, [[Kevin Flynn]] is shocked to see that Tron is still alive. However, Rinzler is contacted at that moment (evidence as he held his hand up as if answering a call) and immediately leaves the area without a fight. He returns to CLU, who then views the data on the new User that Rinzler has obtained. Among the images is Sora opening a treasure chest with the Keyblade, whereupon CLU hands the disk back to Rinzler, musing about the weapon's potential. | [[Sora]] first encounters Rinzler on a bridge, where they prepare to fight.

Soon, Sora and [[Quorra]] encounter Rinzler in CLU's headquarters. Sora decides to try a heart-to-heart to help jog Rinzler's memory of his time as Tron; however, he fails. Rinzler sends his disks towards Sora, but Quorra manages to block the attack for him. Quorra quips that Rinzler isn't quite the friend Sora remembers, but he's sure that Rinzler just needs some time to remember. Quorra proceeds to engage Rinzler, but is defeated and seemingly captured. Sora attempts running to stop Rinzler, but the doors snap shut before he can do anything. Sora is later taken to the Disk Wars stadium, where Rinzler and CLU wait; CLU offers to release Rinzler in exchange for the Keyblade (which he wants to open the Portal to the User world). However, when Sora refuses, CLU orders Rinzler to take him down. However, Quorra reappears and assures Sora that he can get through to Tron as Rinzler hesitated to finish her off, allowing her to escape | Soon, Sora and [[Quorra]] encounter Rinzler in CLU's headquarters.

Sora defeats Rinzler and uses the Keyblade to reboot Rinzler's memory system, reverting him back to Tron and allowing him to remember his meeting with Sora back in [[Space Paranoids]]. While Sora tends to Tron, an enraged CLU sneaks in behind him and attempts to derezz Sora with his disk. However, Tron quickly springs to his feet and deflects the disk with his own. The disk bounces off the walls and lands in front of Tron, destroying the floor. As he falls, Tron responds to Sora's voice and tries reaching for his hand. However, it proved too late as he falls into the abyss below the arena. An annoyed CLU heads off to retrieve him. Sora uses Tron's predicament to come to the answer Xemnas posed to him. | |||

Following the | While Tron himself debuted in the 1982 film ''{{w|Tron}}'', the Rinzler persona debuted in its 2010 sequel, ''{{w|Tron: Legacy}}'', portrayed by martial artist/stuntman {{w|Anis Cheurfa}} and voiced by Tron's actor {{w|Bruce Boxleitner}}. Following the events of the first ''Tron'', Kevin Flynn copied Tron from the ENCOM server onto his new Grid as its guardian while recreating CLU 2 to oversee its maintenance. One day, however, while Tron was escorting Kevin Flynn to the portal to the real world, they were ambushed by CLU 2 and four Black Guards. Tron fended off the Black Guards while ordering Flynn to escape, but was ultimately defeated and repurposed into Rinzler, CLU's top enforcer. | ||
In ''Tron: Legacy'', Rinzler makes his first appearance as the final opponent of the Disk Wars, fighting Sam Flynn until he bleeds, identifying him as a User. Throughout the rest of the film, he is brought into conflict with Sam and Quorra, alongside the elder Flynn. Ultimately, during a high-speed Light Jet battle, Tron overcomes CLU 2's programming and flies straight into his former master. The attack fails, however, and Tron falls into the sea of simulation, where his circuitry reverts to white. | |||
