What actually makes up a heart is a mystery in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe. Much research has been done to try and unravel the mystery, most notably by [[Ansem the Wise]] and his apprentices. However, this research only served to lower the barriers between worlds, set up the events for ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts | What actually makes up a heart is a mystery in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe. Much research has been done to try and unravel the mystery, most notably by [[Ansem the Wise]] and his apprentices. However, this research only served to lower the barriers between worlds, set up the events for ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', and cause many worlds to be plunged into darkness. It is known, however, that the heart is primarily made up of [[light]] and [[darkness]], the latter of which formed due to people's greed. The exceptions to this are the [[Princesses of Heart]], maidens whose hearts are free of darkness, and hearts artificially made devoid of light or darkness, such as [[Ventus]] and [[Vanitas]]. | ||
Additionally, [[Dr. Finkelstein]] attempted to create an artificial heart for the purpose of making the [[Heartless]] more terrifying, rather than pursuing knowledge. He believed that the key elements of the heart are memories and surprise so his [[Dr. Finkelstein's ingredients|ingredients]] contained the essence of these two components. However, when [[Oogie Boogie]] consumed the heart that the doctor had created, it had an underwhelming effect. Oogie Boogie's plan was to control the Heartless by taking the heart, but few Heartless answered his call. This indicates that Dr. Finkelstein's hypothesis about hearts is incorrect, reinforcing the mystery surrounding hearts. | Additionally, [[Dr. Finkelstein]] attempted to create an artificial heart for the purpose of making the [[Heartless]] more terrifying, rather than pursuing knowledge.

In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Organization XIII switched tactics and used Sora for heart collection, because no surviving member was able to collect hearts after Roxas was absorbed by Sora. Sora remained unaware of his role in Xemnas's plan, sending captive hearts to Kingdom Hearts as he saved each world from the Heartless threat. When [[Saïx]] revealed this role to the Keyblade wielder, however, Sora became wary of defeating Heartless, as he did not wish to aid his enemies, the Organization. He had no choice, however, eventually reaching [[The World That Never Was]], Organization XIII's stronghold. When [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]] met up with Ansem the Wise, the elderly scholar attempted to encode Kingdom Hearts as data with a special device, the [[Kingdom Hearts Encoder]]. He realized, upon the machine's self-destruction, that hearts couldn't be encoded as data, destroying Xemnas's synthetic Kingdom Hearts and releasing every heart it held inside before not only his death, but the final battle in Kingdom Hearts itself between Sora, Riku and the Organization's Superior. The Nobodies were seen in the city below, waving their arms and presumably trying to locate their hearts, while the hearts that hit the darkness below the Castle That Never Was instantly transformed into Shadows. | In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Organization XIII switched tactics and used Sora for heart collection, because no surviving member was able to collect hearts after Roxas was absorbed by Sora.

It is unknown what became of hearts released in ''Kingdom Hearts''. While Organization XIII did exist, they did not collect hearts until Roxas's birth, after the events of Hollow Bastion, and after he trained with the Organization members featured in ''Kingdom Hearts | It is unknown what became of hearts released in ''Kingdom Hearts''. While Organization XIII did exist, they did not collect hearts until Roxas's birth, after the events of Hollow Bastion, and after he trained with the Organization members featured in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''. It is most logical that these hearts went back to their bodies and returned to their original form. | ||
Although the Emblem Heartless in [[Castle Oblivion]] release hearts, it is not clear whether or not these are real Heartless, or merely figments of Sora's and Riku's memories. | Although the Emblem Heartless in [[Castle Oblivion]] release hearts, it is not clear whether or not these are real Heartless, or merely figments of Sora's and Riku's memories. | ||
