Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

The '''Body''', along with the [[Heart]] and [[Soul]], 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 a form. The body is a medium for a person's heart and feelings to be expressed in the physical world.
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 Heart controls the body, much like the brain in the real world, so when someone becomes a Heartless, and their heart is released, they leave behind their body and soul, which is an empty shell and usually withers away. However, if that person's heart was strong enough, the soul will take control of the body and the shell will start to act on it's own. A body being controlled by a soul with no heart is a being called a ''[[Nobody]]''.


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.

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.
