Kurt Zisa is an Emblem Heartless that is found in the international and Final Mix versions of Kingdom Hearts. It is one of the bosses in Agrabah.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts[edit]

Kurt Zisa emerges from the Final Keyhole after it is opened by the Princesses of Heart, and it goes straight to Agrabah. The Carpet soon encounters Kurt Zisa in the desert, and it flies back to Aladdin's House, where Sora and his friends find it. It leads them back to the desert, where Kurt Zisa attacks them. However, after an intense battle, Kurt Zisa is defeated by Sora and his friends, leaving behind a piece of Ansem's Report.

Design[edit]

A six-armed beast, Kurt Zisa also boasts a brown and black segmented body and a golden head that bears a strong resemblance to the cobra head on Jafar's staff. It wears a white sleeve trimmed in gold on each arm, a white tunic with puffy gold sleeves over its oddly-shaped upper torso, and white, gold-and-turquoise trimmed pants on its lower body; around its waist is a brightly colored sash in turquoise, decorated with bright orange tassels and a gold apron bearing the Heartless Emblem. Its feet appear to be clad in gold and brown shoes at first glance, but the toes are curled into fierce hooks that point down towards the ground. Each arm ends in three sharp segmented talons.

Despite its fearsome appearance, Kurt Zisa deals most of its damage with its khopeshes, two large sharp silver crescents that end in gold-trimmed holes on one end and lethal hooks on the other. The spinning blade attack is identical to the attack of Luna Bandits.

Kurt Zisa is named after Kurt Zisa of Medford, New York, who won Square's "KINGDOM HEARTS: Name-In-Game" contest, which was held two months prior to the North American release of Kingdom Hearts.

Strategy[edit]

Kurt Zisa alternates between two forms during the battle. It starts in the Silence Form (サイレス形態, Sairesu Keitai^?). At the start of the Silence Form, Kurt Zisa will use Silence to seal the party's magic and summons. Kurt Zisa wields two glowing orbs in its hands, which need to be attacked. Once the orbs are destroyed, Kurt Zisa will be momentarily stunned by falling over and sitting down, leaving its head and an unveiled diamond within its jaws vulnerable to attacks. In this state, Kurt Zisa can only use its Bite attack.

After a little while Kurt Zisa will enter its Reflect Barrier Form (リフレクトバリア形態, Rifurekuto Baria Keitai^?). At the start of this form, Kurt Zisa summons a barrier around itself which blocks all physical attacks. The only way to harm it is by casting magic or deflecting projectiles back at it. Attacking the barrier with physical attacks makes it drop MP prizes. Once the shield is destroyed, Kurt Zisa will once again become stunned. After a while, it will go back to its Silence Form.

Since Kurt Zisa is a rather difficult boss to defeat, it is efficient to Summon Tinker Bell right before magic is unusable as she can keep the party healed and revive Sora once if all his HP is drained. Another option is to cast Aero magic before Silence is cast so damage from Kurt Zisa's attacks is reduced while magic is sealed. Also, Aerora and Aeroga allow Sora to inflict more damage on Kurt Zisa when in range of its hands or head.

Another strategy to get past its shield mode quickly is to summon Mushu or Dumbo and use Fire, Showtime, or Splash to break through the magic shield. Alternatively, Sora can summon Bambi and hit Kurt Zisa with offensive spells while Bambi drops magic orbs.

 ==Strategy==
-;Attacks
+Kurt Zisa alternates between two forms during the battle. It starts in the {{nihongo|'''Silence Form'''|サイレス形態|Sairesu Keitai}}. At the start of the Silence Form, Kurt Zisa will use Silence to seal the party's magic and summons. Kurt Zisa wields two glowing orbs in its hands, which need to be attacked. Once the orbs are destroyed, Kurt Zisa will be momentarily stunned by falling over and sitting down, leaving its head and an unveiled diamond within its jaws vulnerable to attacks. In this state, Kurt Zisa can only use its Bite attack.
-*'''Silencega''': Kurt will Silence Sora's party as soon as the battle starts, preventing Sora and his friends from casting magic spells and summoning. The effect lasts until the two dark orbs in its hands are destroyed. Every other time it "wakes up" it will summon the orbs and cast Silencega again.
-*'''Dash''': If Sora's party gets too far away, Kurt can perform a dashing attack toward them. It has small range, but touching the blades can hurt.
-*'''Sword Spin''': Kurt stands still and spins its swords around, deflecting attacks and damaging Sora and friends.
-*'''Spinning Wheel''': Kurt leaps up and rapidly spins before dive-bombing Sora. Roll under or jump over the horizontal spins, or roll to the side of the vertical spins. Zisa won't use these spinning attacks until he has taken a certain amount of damage and is in the first form you encounter him in.
-*'''Neck Whip''': Kurt flails its neck wildly while defenseless, though the attack can be easily deflected and make it flinch. This attack, however, also makes it harder to hit it.
-*'''Fire Orb''': Sometimes while it has its anti-physical shield up, a sigil appears on its shield. Large fireballs appear around the arena and hover slowly around, acting as mines. These orbs can be deflected back by using Guard and actually damage its shield.
-*'''Tornado''': Kurt raises its arms and summons a tornado around Sora. Roll through it with correct timing and it will not pursue Sora.
-*'''Gravity Balls''': Orbs of dark energy fly out of the ground and bounce around. Kurt can also summon and throw larger balls directly at Sora during this time.
-Kurt Zisa is a skilled warrior, proficient in swordplay and magic. It can twirl its swords around to deflect attacks and slash enemies. It can also use a spin attack, both horizontal and vertical. It is also a skilled spellcaster, able to defend itself with an anti-physical shield of energy. It can also create a tornado by lifting its hands and create fireballs to act as mines.
+After a little while Kurt Zisa will enter its {{nihongo|'''Reflect Barrier Form'''|リフレクトバリア形態|Rifurekuto Baria Keitai}}. At the start of this form, Kurt Zisa summons a barrier around itself which blocks all physical attacks. The only way to harm it is by casting magic or deflecting projectiles back at it. Attacking the barrier with physical attacks makes it drop MP prizes. Once the shield is destroyed, Kurt Zisa will once again become stunned. After a while, it will go back to its Silence Form.
-Kurt Zisa fights in three forms, each with different attacks.
+Since Kurt Zisa is a rather difficult boss to defeat, it is efficient to Summon [[Tinker Bell]] right before magic is unusable as she can keep the party healed and revive Sora once if all his HP is drained. Another option is to cast Aero magic before Silence is cast so damage from Kurt Zisa's attacks is reduced while magic is sealed. Also, Aerora and Aeroga allow Sora to inflict more damage on Kurt Zisa when in range of its hands or head.
-In stage 1, Kurt Zisa wields two glowing spheres in each of its top hands. [[Magic]] is unusable for the group, even for Sora. Kurt Zisa uses nothing but physical attacks in this form. The spheres in its hands must be destroyed. Once destroyed, magic will be available to the party again and battle will fall into stage 2.
+Another strategy to get past its shield mode quickly is to summon [[Mushu]] or [[Dumbo]] and use [[Fire]], [[Showtime]], or [[Splash]] to break through the magic shield. Alternatively, Sora can summon [[Bambi]] and hit Kurt Zisa with offensive spells while Bambi drops magic orbs.
+{{atk-o|kh1}}
-In stage 2, Kurt Zisa will become stunned and fall into a sitting position and its head will coil out like a snake. Kurt Zisa is vulnerable now and Sora can harm it. Its only attack is a weak bite attack. After a while, Kurt Zisa will turn into stage 3.

-In stage 3, Kurt Zisa will protect itself with a shield and float. As it hovers around the arena, it will summon tornadoes to cause damage to Sora and make fireballs rise from the ground. Sora can only damage the shield through magic or hitting fireballs it summons back at it. [[Summon]] and [[Thunder]] spells work well against the shield. If attacked physically, the shield will drop MP balls. When the shield is destroyed, Kurt Zisa will go into stage 2 again. After a while, stage 1 will commence again. If the player wants to save MP and doesn't really care about time, he should wait until he summons fireballs and then hit them. They will automatically go towards Kurt Zisa, track his movement, and damage the protective barrier.

-Since Kurt Zisa is a rather difficult boss to defeat, it is highly suggested to Summon [[Tinker Bell]] right before Magic is unusable as she can keep party members healed and revive Sora once if all his health is drained in battle. Another option is to cast whatever variation of [[Aero]] you have before Silencega is cast so damage from Kurt's attacks are reduced while your magic is sealed. Having Aerora or Aeroga allows you to inflict more damage on Kurt if the shield is in range of Kurt's hands or head, as well.

-*Interestingly, the spinning blade attack is identical to the attack of [[Luna Bandit]]s, and both base the attack on Abis Mal's henchmen bandits from the Aladdin television series, specifically in the episode entitled "Air Feathered Friends," who could become tornadoes using magical feathers, and held their swords like Kurt Zisa does.

-*In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', when Xion uses a [[Organization XIII Device]] in Agrabah to absorb Sora's latent memories of that world, she takes on a [[Game:Xion#Third Form|form]] which strongly resembles Kurt Zisa.
