As Sora trekked through [[Castle Oblivion]], [[Naminé]] used her powers to morph Sora's lucky charm from one comprised of Thalassa Shells into one resembling a [[Paopu Fruit]], coincidentally another item unique to the Destiny Islands. The lucky charm eventually retained its original form once Sora remembered that Kairi is the most important person to him.

[[Xion]], a replica of Roxas with a strange resemblance to Kairi due to Sora's strong memories of Kairi, had a great fascination with Thalassa Shells. During many events throughout ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', the Thalassa Shell acts as a symbol of Xion's connection to Kairi. When [[Roxas]] suffered a coma, she surrounded him as he slept in his bed with Thalassa Shells amongst many others. After Xion escaped the Organization, Roxas was also seen to pick up a shell on the beaches of the Destiny Islands as he thought of his friend during one of her nightmares. A single Thalassa Shell is also all that's left at Xion's death.
