'''Julius''' is a vicious artificial monster that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. He first appeared in the Disney animated short film ''{{w|Runaway Brain}}'', and can be fought as a boss once the story has been completed. It is required to defeat him once to access and traverse through the Fountain Plaza.

Julius is a powerful opponent, possessing immense physical strength and a devastating combat style similar to commercial wrestling. Julius is very agile despite his large size and is capable of running swiftly and leaping great distances and heights. His basic attacks include a quick uppercut-like punch, a downward arcing punch, and a basic straight punch. He may perform a combo in which he knocks the player upward using the uppercut twice, then knocks them back down to the ground using the arcing punch. Julius may also take off at a run and leap into the air to come crashing down in an elbow drop, and begin to run across the arena at high speed to ram into the current character.  

==Strategy==

Continue dodging Julius's combos and attack when possible, and eventually, he will be defeated, unlocking the Ultima Weapon.

After about six of Julius's HP bars have been depleted, the battlefield grows dark and Julius surrounds his fists with electricity. Carefully time Dark Rolls to avoid the lightning bolts that come crashing down on Riku, or chain several Dark Barriers together to defend against them. If he manages to make Julius flinch while he's charging up, the charging effects won't be canceled. Because Julius's attacks are much more powerful in his charged-up state (adding Thunder damage on top of physical) and come more frequently with greater range (and also have a chance of slowing down command reload times), the player should disregard offense for the time being and merely chain Dark Rolls together to avoid the boss (be extremely careful not to accidentally trigger Flowmotion, as this leaves Riku vulnerable). Julius leaps off of the building more often in this state, so always remember to disengage Lock-On and get as far away from him as possible when this happens. When Julius's fists cease to glow, resume the previous strategy of dodging his attacks and following up with Balloon-type spells or Dark Firaga. Julius will enter this more powerful state at random intervals from this point onward as his HP continues to dwindle, but once he is on his last couple of bars, his last charge will remain until the end, so continue using Balloon and Dark Firaga from a distance until his HP finally hits 0.
