Sora first encounters Rinzler on a bridge, where they prepare to fight. Hiding nearby, Flynn is shocked to see that Tron is still alive. However, Rinzler is contacted at that moment (evidence as he held his hand up as if answering a call) and immediately leaves the area without a fight. He returns to CLU, who then views the data on the new User that Rinzler has obteained; amongst the images is Sora opening a treasure chest with the Keyblade. CLU muses about the idea, handing the disk back to Rinzler. | |||
Soon, Sora and [[Quorra]] encounter Rinzler in CLU's headquarters. Sora decides to try a heart-to-heart to help jog Rinzler's memory of his time as Tron; however, he fails. Rinzler sends his disks towards Sora, but Quorra manages to block the attack for him. Quorra quips that Rinzler isn't quite the friend Sora remembers, but he's sure that Rinzler just needs some time to remember.

However, Quorra reappears and assures Sora that he CAN get through to Tron as Rinzler hesitated to finsih her off, allowing her to escape. Sora battles Rinzler, rendering him unconcious. | ||
Using the Keyblade, Sora brings up Rinzler's memory system and reboots it; this reverts him back to Tron, and allows him to remember his meeting with Sora back in [[Space Paranoids]]. While Sora tends to Tron, an enraged CLU sneaks in behind him and attempts to derezz Sora with his disk. However, Tron quickly springs to his feet and deflects the disk with his own. The disk bounces off the walls and lands in front of Tron, destroying the floor. As he falls, Tron responds to Sora's voice and tries reaching for his hand. However, it proved too late as he falls into the abyss below the arena. An annoyed CLU heads off to retrieve him. Sora uses Tron's perdicament to come to the answer Xemnas posed to him. | |||

Rinzler wears black body armor with orange circuitry, with four orange squares arranged in the shape of a "T" on his chest and lines on his fore and middle fingers. His face is covered by a black helmet similar in structure to the one worn by [[Vanitas]]. | |||
==Development== | |||
Rinzler was revealed to appear, along with [[The Grid]], in the Jump Festa 2012 trailer. He appears to play out the same role as in ''Tron: Legacy'', except for his interactions with [[Sora]] and [[Riku]]. Following [[Claude Frollo]], and the [[Beagle Boys]], he is the third Disney villain confirmed for the game, and the first Disney Boss. | |||
According to Masaru Oka, scenario and cutscene director for ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', Rinzler was originally intended to be a boss for [[Riku]]'s side of the story.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' Ultimania''': Q. Where there any rejected cutscenes? A. Not rejected as such, but in the beginning we planned the battle with Rinzler in The Grid to be Side: Riku. Before the start of that battle they announce the ‘thirteen combatants’, and though we didn’t consciously choose the number ‘13’, changing it to Side: Sora gave it an unexpected deep meaning.</ref> | |||

==Appearance== | |||
Rinzler wears black body armor with orange circuitry, with four orange squares arranged in the shape of a "T" on his chest and lines on his fore and middle fingers. His face is covered by a black helmet similar in structure to the one worn by [[Vanitas]]. Like Tron, he wields an [[Identity Disk]], though this one is a black chakram-like weapon with a white outer border and an orange inner border, that can split into two disks. | |||
Despite wielding both disks, Rinzler's model still has a disk attached to his back during the battle with him. | Despite wielding both disks, Rinzler's model still has a disk attached to his back during the battle with him. | ||

He is also reserved, never speaking unless necessary. When he sees something of unique that CLU may take an interest in, Rinzler immediately makes informing him top priority; this is evidence when he sees the Keyblade and reports back to CLU. Once regaining his memories from his time as Tron, he is very courageous and protective of his friends, specifically [[Sora]], whom he protected from CLU. Tron again, he is willing to accept help from his friends, such as when Sora held out his hand to prevent him from falling. | ||

Following the defeat of [[Sark]] and the [[Master Control Program]], [[Kevin Flynn]] copies Tron from the ENCOM server onto his new Grid and also creates CLU 2 so that the two of them will oversee the Grid's maintenance. | |||
One day, however, while Tron is escorting Kevin Flynn to the portal to the real world, they are ambushed by CLU 2 and four Black Guards. Tron tells Kevin to run as he fends them off, leaving him to fight and ultimately lose to CLU 2. Tron is then repurposed to serve him as Rinzler. | |||

Throughout the rest of the film, he is brought into conflict with Kevin, Sam, and [[Quorra]]. Ultimately, during a high-speed Light Jet battle, he overcomes CLU 2's programming and flies straight into his former master. The attack fails, however, and Rinzler falls into the sea of simulation, where his circuitry returns from orange to white. | ||
In the film, Rinzler is portrayed by martial artist/stuntman Anis Cheurfa, and voiced by {{w|Bruce Boxleitner}}. | |||
