The {{nihongo|'''soul'''|魂|tamashii}}, along with the [[body]] and [[heart]], is a part vital to the complete existence of any living thing. The soul literally gives the body life, and is the difference between being alive or dead. It is the force that wills the body to live, and drives it to survive. The term soul may also be interchangeable with that of "mind".


When someone becomes a [[Heartless]], their heart, which controls the body, is released and the body and soul is left behind. Usually, the body and soul, having no guidance, wither away. However, if that person's will was strong enough, the soul will take command of the body and will it on. This being is called a [[Nobody]]. Exceptionally strong Nobodies, such as the members of [[Organization XIII]], retain their human form. Therefore, it is clear that will is related and is an essential part of the soul.
Souls <i>literally</i> give the body life, as in being alive and not dead.  


[[Davy Jones]] of [[The Caribbean]] is known to take souls as the price for making deals with him.
When someone becomes a [[Heartless]], they leave behind their [[body]] and their soul. Usually, the body/soul fades away. However, if the heart was strong, then the remaining body and soul will begin to move and act on its own, becoming a [[Nobody]] with the soul giving the Nobody life.


Unlike the heart, which controls the body, telling it what to do and giving it feelings and emotion, the soul is the energy and life the body uses to carry out the heart's commands. Essentially, the soul is life. Therefore, it is assumed that the soul is the spirit or ghost that leaves the body upon death. If the soul leaves the body, it has no energy or drive to carry out the heart's orders, which ultimately causes the being to die.  
When someone naturally dies, it is assumed that it is the heart and body without the soul, which renders them lifeless.
 
It should be noted that the 'soul' is one of the three things that make up existence of a living being. The other two are the '[[heart]]' and the '[[body]].' It is speculated that the soul is the reason for a Nobody's human appearance, though others are seen to argue this point, claiming it is the '[[heart]]'.
