By the time Sora and Riku reach The World That Never Was, Isa has once again become his Nobody, Saïx. When Lea attempts to retrieve Sora, he is attacked by Saïx, who he calls by his human name.
Kingdom Hearts III[edit]
After the defeat of Master Xehanort, Isa is restored to his original form. On the clock tower in Twilight Town, Isa, donning new clothes, offers Roxas, Xion, and Lea some sea-salt ice cream. He sits down beside Lea and the four are joined by Hayner, Pence, and Olette. During their time together, the Gummi Ship appears overhead to take everyone to Destiny Islands. He is seen playing frisbee with Lea and Ventus on the beach until it lands on Donald Duck's sand statue. Isa then joins everyone in watching Sora and Kairi share a moment before Sora fades away.
Design[edit]
Isa wears a short-sleeved, navy blue jacket with a light blue stripe going along his shoulders to the ends of his sleeves. The jacket's collar is rather high and sky blue in coloration, as are the ends of the sleeves and the bottom hem of the jacket. There is a yellow waning crescent moon symbol prominently displayed on the left breast of the jacket, referencing Saïx's attribute in Organization XIII.
Isa appears to wear a black undershirt, as well as white pants and black shoes with what appears to be a grayish trim on the bottom. He seems to be about the same age as Lea and Ventus. Isa's blue hair resembles his Nobody's in style, but it is shorter; Isa's hair is slightly longer than jaw-length and is spiked upward. He lacks Saïx's X-shaped scar, and he has aquamarine eyes, rather than yellow ones. His ears do not appear to be pointed like Saïx's, but he does have pierced ears.
Upon his revival in Radiant Garden as an adult, Isa is physically identical to Saïx and even wears the black coat of Organization XIII. After Xehanort's defeat, Isa is once again restored to his human form with his eyes and ears returned to their original state, though he retains Saïx's X-shaped scar. He wears an outfit based on a Roen-Gackt collaboration design. It consists of a long-sleeved, knee-length black duster jacket with black pants. The jacket has a short front zipper on either side and a column of five buttons on a dark gray flap next to a long zipper down the middle. The jacket, its sleeves, and the pants have gray camouflage patterning along the sides, though it is wider on the sides of the jacket. Like his attire in Birth by Sleep, Isa's jacket has a high collar, a different colored stripe along the shoulders and down the length of the sleeves with a gold medallion on the left breast bearing a gold star and a waxing crescent moon, and he wears black shoes with the gray camouflage as the trim along the bottom.
Personality[edit]
Like his Nobody, Saïx, Isa is mature and has no interest in siding with Lea on childish matters. However, Isa has much more tolerance towards Lea, as he smiles while Lea and Ventus squabble. Isa values his friendship with Lea, but he is rather sarcastic and does not hesitate to lightheartedly mock him after he loses his fight with Ventus. Isa jokingly claims that he has tried to forget about Lea and his antics on multiple occasions.
In Secret Report 6, it's revealed that Isa is capable of compassion and selflessness as shown by his offering comfort to his and Lea's new mystery friend whenever they visited her, and his strong desire to save her from her imprisonment as Xehanort's lab rat. When she vanished, Isa's desire to find and save her is so strong that it remains in his adult years, even during his time as Saïx.
Notes and references[edit]
- ^ Secret Reports, Saix: "Our plans never accounted for the possibility of both Xion and Roxas leaving. How did this come to pass? When did Roxas grow strong enough to outmuscle me? What were you really after, Lea? We joined the Organization at the same time, and formulated our plan. At this point, it's just an idle fantasy. Everything changed. You, and me."
