| | The ''body'' is a part vital to the <i>complete</i> existence of any living thing. |

| |
| The {{nihongo|'''body'''|肉体|nikutai}} is a recurring factor and philosophy in the [[Kingdom Hearts (series)|''Kingdom Hearts'' series]]; along with the [[heart]] and [[soul]], it is a part vital to the complete existence of any living thing. The body gives the heart and soul a vessel, granting a person a physical appearance and form. The body is a medium for a person's heart and feelings to be expressed in the physical world. | |

|
| The heart controls the body, much like the brain in the real world, so when someone becomes a [[Heartless]] or otherwise loses their heart, their body and soul usually wither away to nil. However, if that person's heart is strong enough, their soul will take control of the now empty body, which will start to act on its own, becoming a being called a "[[Nobody]]." | | The Body gives the heart and soul a vessel to live in, giving a person a physical appearance and a form. |
| | When someone becomes a Heartless, they leave behind their [[body]] and their [[soul]], a shell. Usually, the body/soul fades away. These shells become [[Nobodies]] however, if that person's heart was strong enough. If the heart of a person is strong, their shell becomes strong also, in longing for a heart, with the body giving the Nobody form. |

|
| While the heart is the deciding factor as to whether or not a person can wield the [[Keyblade]], the body can be used in a loophole for acquiring the Keyblade, as seen with [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] and [[Riku]] in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. Ansem possesses Riku's body, thereby controlling his heart and giving him access to Riku's Keyblade-wielding powers.
| | It should be noted that the empty shell that becomes a Nobody is actually a combination of the body and the soul. It is presumed that when a person dies, it is the body without the soul. |

|
| Should a [[Keyblade wielder]] discard their body to transfer their heart into a new vessel, it vanishes from existence. It will return after the destruction of the Heartless and Nobody that comes from the vessel, as is the case for [[Xehanort]]. Because he wasn't able to absorb [[Terra]]'s heart into his own, Xehanort is revived as his older self, instead of as [[Terra-Xehanort]], the body that actually split into [[Ansem]] and [[Xemnas]]. Through unknown means, [[Luxu]] can completely dominate his new host, making the body his own permanently.
| | It should be noted that the body is one of the three things that make up existence of a living being. The other two are the '[[heart]]' and the '[[soul]]'. |
