'''Jiminy's Journal''' is a journal written by [[Jiminy Cricket]] containing information on [[Sora]] and the countless number of things he meets and discovers on his journeys through the [[Universe of Kingdom Hearts|''Kingdom Hearts'' universe]]. It contains sections on the Heartless, other characters, story plots, notes on the worlds, mini-games, treasure chests opened, Trinity Marks (''Kingdom Hearts'') and hints of what to do next (''Kingdom Hearts II''). However it is wiped clean at the beginning of ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'' and again at the end, with only one sentence left: "Thank [[Naminé]]." The Journal is the first object to become a character in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, first appearing in ''Kingdom Hearts coded''. | |||
==Story== | ==Contents and Story== | ||
Jiminy's Journal has many contents, slightly differing between games. In general, each game's Journal includes entries on defeated [[Heartless]] and (in the case of ''Kingdom Hearts II'') [[Nobody|Nobodies]]. The entries feature a brief description of the Heartless, sometimes mentioning an attack of theirs or the main world that they appear in, and mentioning how many have been defeated. They all also include entries on the characters encountered over the course of the game; anybody that Sora meets is added, unless they are generic characters (such as [[Traverse Town]]'s townsfolk). If the character added is from a Final Fantasy game or a Disney film, their first appearance is noted also. | |||

Jiminy's Journal is wiped clean upon entering [[Castle Oblivion]]. The Journal in this game is like that in ''Kingdom Hearts'', but in this game it splits into three main areas. | |||
*'''Story''': summarizes each [[world]]'s storyline, as well as Sora's own story as he goes through Castle Oblivion. | *'''Story''': summarizes each [[world]]'s storyline, as well as Sora's own story as he goes through Castle Oblivion. | ||

Again, the Journal is wiped clean in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', as all the memories of Castle Oblivion have been removed by Naminé. We begin with only one phrase: "Thank Naminé." | |||
The contents of Jiminy's Journal are separated by world. All world-specific characters may be viewed under "Characters" while viewing their world. For example, the player may choose [[Beast's Castle]] and then choose "Characters" if they want to view [[Beast]]'s entry. The Characters screen is different than in the previous games. Instead of a list of characters, it shows a small square with a picture of the character, divided into related groups. Sora, Donald, and Goofy all have entries under every world, with little difference in all world entries other than that of the [[Timeless River]], [[Atlantica]], [[Halloween Town]], the [[Pride Land]], and [[Space Paranoids]]. Any non-world specific characters, such as the Summon characters and discarded entries, such as that of a cloaked Organization XIII member after the real identity receives an article, or the defeated Heartless and Nobodies, appear under the "Jiminy" selection, symbolized by a picture of Jiminy. | |||

*[[Ansem the Wise|Ansem]] and [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]] are grouped on the upper left corner. | |||

[[Image:Coded_06.jpg|thumb|left|190px|A Mysterious Message]][[File:Riku_Journal.png|thumb|190px|Jiminy's Journal in Data Riku's Form]] | |||
In ''Kingdom Hearts coded'', Jiminy's Journal has a much more important role in the storyline. After the events of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Jiminy is organizing his Journal in [[Disney Castle]] and comes across something that he did not write. A page says, "We must return to free them from their torment." (Changed to "Their hurting will be ended when you return to mend it" in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'') He asks King Mickey what to make of it, but the King does not know, so he digitizes the contents of the Journal. The [[Data Sora]] goes through the digitized contents of the Journal and tries to debug the data. It is unknown who "them" is referring to in the sentence or where this sentence came from. | |||
Soon after, a mysterious man clad in the Black Coat of Organization XIII appears and reveals himself to be a Data Riku, who has been given possession of the Journal's memories. Data Riku guides Data Sora as he destroys the bugs in each of the worlds in the journal, but he is kidnapped by Pete and Maleficent, who infest him with Bug Blocks. Data Sora battles Data Riku, and enters his data to free them of the Bug Blocks. When the data in the Journal is completely debugged, Data Sora loses his memories. | |||
After the loss of the Data Sora's memories, Mickey finds him in Traverse Town and takes him to a data version of Castle Oblivion, where they meet and battle a data Roxas and eventually find a Data Naminé, who tells them that the bugs were a side-effect of the real Naminé's tampering with Sora's memories in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', and that she summoned them there to inform them that those connected to the real Sora's heart (the "them" in the message, namely Terra, Aqua, Ventus, Roxas, Xion and the real Naminé) are suffering and that Sora must venture out to save them from their individual fates. | |||
