The '''Bandit''' is an Emblem [[Heartless]] found in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts χ]]''.

==Design==
The Bandit boasts a bright white turban and matching face mask, a purple vest trimmed in gold, purple pants with plum and silver trim that is held in place with a salmon-colored sash, blue curled-toe shoes, and a plum and silver choker, and set of armbands. They also wear lots of gold and silver rings and bracelets, perhaps showing off the spoils they have plundered. Their large gold-hilted swords resemble classic {{w|scimitar}}s.

''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'' Bandits are dressed in yellow and dark reds instead of purple and blue, a color scheme mirrored by their successors in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', the [[Luna Bandit]]s.

The Bandit's name references the Heartless's resemblance to Arabian thugs. Historically, {{w|Outlaw|bandits}} were outlaws that would commit crimes such as robbery or murder.

==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
Jafar summons four Bandits to assist him and Iago in finding Jasmine. When he spots her with Sora, Donald, and Goofy, Sora sends the princess off while he and his party fight off more Bandits.

Later, Aladdin uses the magic lamp from the Cave of Wonders and summons Genie to get rid of a group of Bandits surrounding them both and their new allies.

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
Bandits appear in a short cameo, during the cutscene shown after [[Sora]] learns of [[Jafar]] being released.

==Strategy==
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
If timed correctly, Sora can earn [[Tech Points]] for blocking the Bandit's attacks.<ref>Before Kairi's rescue, 2 Tech Points can be earned for blocking a basic scimitar swipe in both ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix''.</ref><ref>Before Kairi's rescue, 4 Tech Points can be earned for blocking the Bandit as it throws itself and its scimitar in ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix''.</ref><ref>After Kairi's rescue, 27 and 45 Tech Points can be earned for blocking a basic scimitar swipe in both ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix''.</ref><ref>After Kairi's rescue, 90 Tech Points can be earned for blocking the Bandit's scimitar as it twirls itself around in ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix''.</ref><!--TNE has loosely referred to this attack as the "scimitar dance"-->

==Other appearances==
===''Kingdom Hearts Mobile''===
The Bandit appears as a bonus costume in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Mobile]]'' for clearing [[Kingdom Hearts coded/Episode 5|Episode 5]] of ''Kingdom Hearts coded''.
