[[File:Nobody.png|200px|right|The symbol of Organization XIII and the Nobodies]]
[[File:Nobody.png|thumb|200px|The Nobody emblem.]]
A {{nihongo|'''Nobody'''|ノーバディ|Nōbadi}} is what remains of those who have lost their hearts to [[Darkness]]. The first generic Nobodies are seen in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''; although [[Xemnas]] appeared as early as ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'', it was unknown that he was a Nobody. They are made up of body and soul.
A {{nihongo|'''Nobody'''|ノーバディ|Nōbadi}} is the [[body]] and [[soul]] of a strong-willed individual who has lost their [[heart]]. While this enemy type makes its first appearance in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', members of [[Organization XIII]] appeared in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', albeit as unclassified opponents.


All Nobody types are named after job classes in the ''Final Fantasy'' video game series, except for [[Dusk]]s, [[Creepers]], [[Twilight Thorn]] and several fought with the [[Gummi Ship]].
The Nobody emblem is a splintered, upside-down heart that resembles [[Symbols in the Kingdom Hearts series#Terra's Mark|Terra's Mark]] as [[Xemnas]] remembers it.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]''''', '''Interviewer:''' "Where did the Organization's coat and mark come from?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "One year after ''Birth by Sleep'', Xehanort, as well as five other apprentices toss aside their hearts. Then the Nobody Xemnas was born, and the Organization which he creates take a lot of things from his memories, as a human. But as Xemnas had two people who he was, Terra and Master Xehanort, he takes from both of their memories. [...] The Nobody mark used by the Organization is a similar shape to the mark Terra used." [https://www.khinsider.com/news/BBS-Ultimania-20-Mysteries-Solved-2546 Translation via Lissar].</ref> It appears for the first time in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', in which it is emblazoned on the [[Specter]]'s head and designates [[sleight]]s used by the [[Riku Replica]] and members of Organization XIII.
 
The Nobody emblem resembles a splintered, upside-down heart. It originates from [[Terra]]'s memories of the [[Mark of Mastery]] symbol, which are inherited by Xemnas.{{fact}} It is also present on [[Master Xehanort]]'s [[No Heart|Keyblade Armor]]. The symbol first appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', where it marks the names of sleights used by Organization members and the [[Riku Replica]], as well as the body of the [[Spectre]].


==Story==
==Story==
===Between ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
===Between ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts''===
[[Terra-Xehanort]]'s experiments culminated in his fellow apprentices' hearts and the creation of his own [[Heartless]], [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], and Nobody, [[Xemnas]]. Together with [[Xigbar]], the Nobody of Master Xehanort's co-conspirator, [[Braig]], Xemnas founded [[Organization XIII]], recruiting the Nobodies of the remaining apprentices as founding members. They recruited additional members and took command over the lesser Nobodies.
[[File:My Name is Ansem 01 KH3D.png|thumb|left|200px|The first eight members of the Organization are created when Terra-Xehanort attacks them.]]
 
Needing vessels for his plan to create thirteen darknesses, [[Terra-Xehanort|Xehanort]] tricks [[Aeleus]], [[Dilan]], [[Even]] and [[Ienzo]] into giving up their hearts as part of their research into the nature of the heart and the Heartless, using his [[No Name|Keyblade]] to extract their hearts. When [[Braig]] questions his intentions, Xehanort simply extracts his heart next. Following this, he turns the Keyblade on himself and extracts his own heart. This creates the first six members of Organization XIII, who are commanded by [[Xemnas]], Xehanort's Nobody, to recruit more members into their ranks.
When [[Sora]] becomes a Heartless in [[Hollow Bastion]] while freeing [[Kairi]]'s heart from his body, two Nobodies are born: [[Roxas]] appears in [[Twilight Town]], where he is recruited by Xemnas as the thirteenth Organization member, while [[Naminé]] is born in [[Castle Oblivion]], which the Organization has taken as a secondary base, and she is taken into Organization custody.
 
During his second trip to Hollow Bastion, Sora encounters Xemnas in the room where Maleficent was defeated in her dragon form, and they fight before Xemnas disappears.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''===
Sora is coaxed into entering Castle Oblivion by [[Marluxia]], who attempts to manipulate Sora using Naminé's power over his memory. He and [[Larxene]] tell Naminé that if she inserts herself in Sora's memory, she can be "somebody" instead of just a Nobody.


Riku, who emerges from the Realm of Darkness in the basement of Castle Oblivion, encounters several Organization members, learning a bit about their nature as Nobodies along the way.
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
[[Sora]] becomes a [[Heartless]] in [[Hollow Bastion]]. This creates two Nobodies: [[Roxas]] and [[Naminé]]. The former appears in [[Twilight Town]] and joins Organization XIII, while the latter finds herself in [[Castle Oblivion]] and in Organization XIII's custody.


The members of the Organization stationed in Castle Oblivion don't use the services of lesser Nobodies against Sora or Riku, choosing to fight for themselves when not relying on the Heartless inhabiting the castle.
On a return trip to Hollow Bastion, Sora battles and defeats Xemnas.
===''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''===
[[Marluxia]], the Organization's Number XI, leads Sora and his friends to Castle Oblivion. There, he forces Naminé to tamper with Sora's memories in an attempt to gain the [[Keyblade]]'s power. When [[Riku]] awakens in Castle Oblivion's lower levels, he faces some of the Organization's founding members and learns Nobodies belong to neither the light nor darkness.


===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
Organization XIII continues its plan to create [[Kingdom Hearts]], relying heavily on Roxas and [[Xion]]'s Keyblades for collecting the necessary hearts.
[[File:Meet Roxas 01 KHD.png|200px|thumb|Roxas at his induction into Organization XIII.]]
Organization XIII uses Roxas and [[Xion]] to collect hearts. This is in accordance with its plan to create [[Kingdom Hearts]], which will enable its members to become whole again. The Organization also searches for the [[Chambers of Repose and Waking|Chamber of Waking]] and develops the [[Replica Program]].  


The Organization members are not accompanied by lesser Nobodies during missions. However, Roxas faces [[Dusk]]s and [[Samurai]]s during three skill trials at [[The World That Never Was]]: [[Mission 10: Prove Your Endurance|Mission 10]], [[Mission 33: Break the Jars|Mission 33]], and [[Mission 71: Prove your endurance|Mission 71]]. More Dusks and Samurais attempt to stop Roxas when he finally leaves the Organization during [[Mission 91: Escape the castle|Mission 91]].
Roxas, who discusses being a Nobody with his friend [[Axel]], battles [[Dusk]]s and [[Samurai]]s in a series of three trials at [[The World That Never Was]]: [[Mission 10: Prove Your Endurance|Mission 10]], [[Mission 33: Break the Jars|Mission 33]], and [[Mission 71: Prove your endurance|Mission 71]]. He confronts more when he attempts to abandon Organization XIII.
 
{{-}}
<!--''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' provided insight of Organization XIII's actions and explained their goals, showing instances of the development of the [[Replica Program]], the formation of the artificial Kingdom Hearts, and the search for the [[Chambers of Repose and Waking|Chamber of Waking]]. Organization XIII members Axel and Roxas both shared the pains of being Nobodies when their discussions brought them to realize and acknowledge the fact that they couldn't feel emotion, nor did they possess hearts.-->


===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
Roxas is accosted by many Nobodies attempting to retrieve him from within the [[simulated Twilight Town]], as well as [[Axel]].
[[File:Gathering of the Organization 02 KHII.png|200px|left|thumb|Xemnas and the rest of the Organization face Sora in Hollow Bastion.]]
After Roxas is placed in [[The Other Twilight Town]], Axel is ordered to retrieve him. The Organization's Number VIII teams up with several lesser Nobodies in an attempt to get his friend back.


Sora, [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] encounter a group of Nobodies in front of the Twilight Town train station, but don't know what they are. When they meet [[Yen Sid]] at the [[Mysterious Tower]], he explains the nature of Nobodies and Organization XIII while telling them of their new mission. He shows them images of Dusks and hooded Organization members.
Sora, [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] learn about Nobodies from [[Yen Sid]] at the [[Mysterious Tower]]. They clash with these foes multiple times, and they destroy the surviving members of Organization XIII: Xemnas, [[Xigbar]], [[Xaldin]], [[Saïx]], [[Demyx]], and [[Luxord]].
Sora clashes with the Nobodies multiple times, including the remaining members [[Demyx]], [[Xaldin]], Xigbar, [[Luxord]], [[Saïx]], and Xemnas.

<!--what else?-->


===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===
===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===
Within the [[Sleeping Worlds]], Xemnas reveals to Sora that Nobodies actually can cultivate new hearts within their bodies and develop emotions on their own, as was the case with Roxas, Axel, and Naminé, but this fact was deliberately kept from the other Organization members as part of [[Master Xehanort]]'s plans to use them as vessels for his heart.
In The World That Never Was, a resurrected Xemnas tells Sora that Nobodies can grow new hearts and feel emotions. It is revealed this fact was deliberately kept from the other members of Organization XIII, who were meant to inherit [[Xehanort|Master Xehanort]]'s heart through Kingdom Hearts.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''''', '''Xemnas:''' "A heart is never lost for good. There may have been variances in
our dispositions, but a number of us unquestionably showed signs of a burgeoning replacement. Once born, the heart can also be nurtured. Our experiments creating Heartless were attempts to control the mind, and convince it to renounce its sense of self. But understand, one can banish the heart from the body, but the body will try to replace it the first chance it gets, for as many times as it takes. And so I knew, even after we were divided into Heartless and Nobodies, it was just a temporary separation." / '''Sora:''' "Why, then? Why did you lie to them and tell them they had
no hearts?" / '''Xigbar:''' "Xemnas and Xehanort formed the Organization for a specific reason—round up a bunch of empty husks, hook them up to Kingdom Hearts, then fill them all with the exact same heart and mind. Translation—they were gonna turn all the members into Xehanort."</ref>


==Nature==
Ienzo reveals to Lea that when a Heartless and Nobody are destroyed and their hearts find their vessels, they are returned to the place they became a Heartless and Nobody. However, if that world is unavailable or otherwise destroyed, they would appear in Traverse Town.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''''', '''Ienzo:''' "When someone who's lost their heart is recompleted, they should return to the place where it happened. And if that world is unavailable for whatever reason, a refuge is made for them in the realm between—a world called "Traverse Town". They would be sent there."</ref>
Nobodies are born when a [[Heart]] is swallowed by darkness and becomes a [[Heartless]]. They are the remaining parts left behind by the heart: the body, giving a Nobody form, and the soul, giving the Nobody life. However, only those with a strong will such as Sora are actually able to continue on as Nobodies. Those with the strongest wills manage to retain human forms (under special circumstances, sometimes the Nobody is formed with some slight changes to their appearance,) while the rest possess malformed, barely humanoid appearances; such examples as Nobodies like the Creeper and Dusk. Therefore, the more humanoid the Nobody, the stronger its will. This is opposite the nature of the Heartless, whose form is more monstrous the stronger the original heart is (with the exception of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]], who retained human form because he gave into the darkness willingly).
 
===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
[[File:The Xehanorts Gather 01 KHIII.png|thumb|200px|The gang prepare to face a great many Heartless, backed by Unversed and Nobodies.]]
[[Xigbar]], [[Saïx]], [[Vexen]], [[Demyx]], [[Luxord]], [[Marluxia]] and [[Larxene]] return to Nobodies to become members of the [[real Organization XIII]]; [[Xemnas]]'s heart is extracted from the past and placed in a [[replica]], so he may also serve as a member. Xigbar, Luxord, Marluxia, and Larxene encounter Sora throughout the worlds on their respective missions to find and protect the [[New Seven Hearts]] and to find the [[Black Box]]. Two new breeds of High-ranking Nobody: [[Reaper]] and [[Ninja]] are also introduced as adversaries.
 
At the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], swarms of Nobodies are called in by Xemnas to help the Heartless and Unversed wear down the [[Seven Guardians of Light]]. After [[Terra-Xehanort]] is repelled by the [[Lingering Will]], another wave of Nobodies is summoned by [[Dark Riku]] and Xigbar along with more Heartless. Thanks to the combined efforts of the traitorous Vexen and Demyx, along with [[Ansem the Wise]], [[Roxas]] is revived using a replica body. Luxord, Marluxia, and Larxene are defeated, beginning their re-completion again.
{{-}}


All Nobodies vanish from the [[Realm of Light]] upon their creation at the loss of a heart and the creation of a Heartless. They are born in a world in-between the Realms of Light and [[Darkness]], such as [[Twilight Town]] or [[Castle Oblivion]]. However, because of this and their lack of hearts, they are shunned by both [[Light]] and Darkness, and do not truly exist.
==Design==
[[File:Dusk KHII.png|thumb|left|140px|A Dusk, a common lesser Nobody.]]
Lesser Nobodies are humanoid enemies that are primarily grey in coloration. They possess a certain elasticity that enables them to contort their bodies into a variety of shapes. An often overlooked feature of lesser Nobodies is their lack of eyes; though some such as the [[Dragoon]] and [[Samurai]] emulate eyes. This means Nobodies are blind and rely on their other senses. Lesser Nobodies bear the Nobody emblem. In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', Nobodies have a metallic sheen.


Because of their missing hearts, Nobodies are said to be incapable of feeling emotions by every credible source. Some humanoid Nobodies pretend to possess emotions, fooling others as well as themselves. On the other hand, Nobodies manage to keep their memories of their former lives, but unusual Nobodies lack memories of their former selves. Through these memories, Nobodies are able to remember what it was like to have emotions, thus allowing them to respond correctly to specific situations. Despite their lack of emotions, Nobodies are able to think for themselves and attack with definite planning (as opposed to the Heartless, which are mindless and function on pure animal instinct). Nobodies also seem to be able to experience physical sensations, such as pain, as they negatively react to taking damage, and Naminé passed out from the pain of being impaled on Marluxia's thorns (this was seen only in the ''Chain of Memories'' manga). The ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'' manga and several other media forms provide an alternative view, saying that they ''do'' have emotions, but are plagued by a feeling of uncertainty and emptiness due to not having hearts. The manga further displays this "plagued" feeling by showing the members engaging in tasks like jigsaw puzzles, cooking, and reading to try to fill their emptiness.  
Nobodies who possess the strongest of wills, like the members of Organization XIII, are able to retain their human forms. Their bodies lack the Nobody emblem.


Although never stated, the events of the [[Battle of 1000 Heartless]] implied that Nobodies are stronger than Heartless, since the Nobodies were able to easily overpower the Heartless. At the very least, they are just as powerful, and the fact that they are much more intelligent than Heartless only heightens the threat that they pose.
[[File:Symbol - Nobody Variation.png|thumb|140px|The Gummi Nobodies' emblem.]]
Gummi Nobodies come in a variety of colors and have streamlined, machine-like bodies. Like lesser Nobodies, they also bear the Nobody emblem.


However, it seems that unusual Nobodies (like Roxas and Naminé) possess true emotions. Roxas and Naminé were born without any memories of their past lives due to the unusual nature of their births, and thus had no basis for any pretend emotions. Additionally, they co-existed with their original selves (Sora, the Keyblade Wielder of the Realm of Light and Kairi, a [[Princess of Heart]], respectively) and held half of their essence within them, thus making them more human than other Nobodies. Although Axel denies the idea of feeling emotions, he shares a bond with Roxas and claims that Roxas makes him "almost feel like he has a heart" and has acted on his feelings of friendship a number of times.
Unlike their Heartless counterparts, the Nobodies are not classified by method of creation, but instead by rank. High-ranking Nobodies generally serve a specific Organization member, while low-ranking Nobodies are used by all members. Another distinct difference is that Nobodies are all naturally born, unlike the Heartlless who have the artificially-created Emblem variety; thus this makes the Nobody emblem a natural feature on lesser Nobodies.
{{-}}


When defeated, Nobodies return to nothingness; however, when a person's Heartless and Nobody both are defeated, that person is restored to their original, complete form, with their memories from their time as a Nobody intact. [[Lea]], [[Ienzo]], [[Dilan]], and [[Aeleus]] all return to their human forms after their Nobodies are defeated; presumably their Heartless had been defeated at an earlier point.<ref>[http://sqex.info/2012/01/famitsu-weekly-nomura-interview-on-kh3d/ Famitsu Weekly: Nomura Interview on KH3D]</ref>
==Nature==
[[File:Up Until Now and From Here On Out 02 KHII.png|thumb|250px|Nobodies are empty shells left behind by strong hearts.]]
Nobodies are created when strong-willed individuals lose their hearts and fall to darkness. The bodies that remain give Nobodies their form, while the abandoned souls give them life. People with the strongest wills are able to retain human form when they become Nobodies. Despite being formed by the discarded body, it appears that Nobodies are primarily defined by the heart that leaves said body; Naminé is considered the Nobody of Kairi due to being the result of Kairi’s heart leaving Sora’s body when he became a Heartless, and Xemnas is made of Terra’s body and soul, but is more strongly tied to Xehanort due to Master Xehanort’s heart having left when Terra-Xehanort gave in to darkness.


It is implied more than once that high-ranking Nobodies can be reduced to a lower rank. Some members of Organization XIII consider being turned into a Dusk an implied disciplinary measure.
At birth, Nobodies are rejected by both light and darkness.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''''', '''Xemnas:''' "We who were turned away by both light and dark—never given a choice?"</ref> Instead, they are made to walk the realm between and doomed to a state of non-existence.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''''', '''Yen Sid:''' "A spirit that goes on even as its body fades from existence---for you see, Nobodies do not truly exist at all."</ref>


In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', it is revealed that Nobodies actually can cultivate new hearts and develop emotions on their own, as was the case with Roxas, Axel, and Naminé, but Xemnas and Xigbar deliberately kept the other Organization members in the dark about this as part of [[Master Xehanort]]'s plans.
Nobodies are said to be incapable of experiencing emotion. While they tend to retain the memories they made as humans, the feelings they display are merely an act.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''''', '''Yen Sid:''' "Nobodies may seem to have feelings, but this is a ruse---they only pretend to have hearts. You must not be deceived!"</ref><ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''''', '''Xaldin:''' "You act as though you have a heart. When was the last time any of us felt anything?"</ref> Memories alone enable Nobodies to correctly respond to the situations in which they find themselves. Despite this, Nobodies are able to think for themselves and are organized, whereas the Heartless are more instinctual enemies, generally attacking opponents in massive swarms, relying on sheer strength of numbers to defeat them.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''''', '''Yen Sid:''' "While Heartless act on instinct, Nobodies function in a higher manner. They can think and plan."</ref> Nobodies feel physical pain, and in the ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' manga, they are seen reading, cooking, or doing jigsaw puzzles in an attempt to fill their emptiness. Innate behaviors and preferences are retained, such as Axel's fondness for [[sea-salt ice cream]]<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''''', '''Roxas:''' "Sea-salt is Axel's favorite."</ref> and Vexen's obsession with research.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories''''', '''Vexen:'''' "I'm a scientist; experiments are what I do, yes."</ref> Despite claims that Nobodies don’t age, existing as they were at the time of becoming a Nobody,<ref>'''''[https://www.khinsider.com/news/New-Famitsu-Interview-with-Tetsuya-Nomura-908 New Famitsu Interview with Tetsuya Nomura!]''''', '''Nomura:''' "Nobodies don’t age; they exist as they were at the time of becoming a Nobody."</ref> it's evident that humanoid Nobodies can still age, as shown with [[Zexion]], who became a Nobody as a child, and [[Naminé]].


==Replica==
It is possible for Nobodies to grow new hearts.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''''', '''Xemnas:''' "One can banish the heart from the body, but the body will try to replace it the first chance it gets, for as many times as it takes. And so I knew even after we were divided into Heartless and Nobodies, it was just a temporary separation."</ref> Master Xehanort and Xemnas use this to their advantage, and Sora learns this when he experiences Roxas's pain first-hand at the end of his hijacked [[Mark of Mastery exam]]. In Sora's words, one must "have a heart to cry." <ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''''', '''Sora:''' "You know don't you? That you all have hearts? Roxas, Axel and Naminé, and [[Xion|that other girl]]. I felt what Roxas felt. They laughed, they got mad, and they grieved. You have to have a heart to cry."</ref> Should Nobodies without memories like Roxas and Naminé regrow hearts, they become entirely new people from their original selves.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''''', '''Naminé:''' "None of us imagined that they would fight so hard to become their own people."</ref><ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''''', '''Roxas:''' "I am me! Nobody else!"</ref><ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''''', '''Roxas:''' "I know, because I'm you." / '''Sora:''' "No, Roxas; you're you. We're not the same."</ref>
A {{nihongo|'''Replica'''|レプリカ|Repurika}} is an artificial copy of another being, and a special type of Nobody. The first Replica seen (though not the first produced) in the series is [[Riku Replica]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''. Another Replica is later revealed to be [[Xion]], Experiment No. i in the Organization's [[Replica Program]]. In the [[Kingdom Hearts (manga)|manga adaptation]] of ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', [[Vexen]] makes a vast amount of Replicas of himself, which survive into ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.


Replicas (also referred to as "puppets" or "clones" by some other characters) are synthetic copies of other people. While the exact method of creating a Replica is unknown as of yet, they have been shown to be able to be created out of different materials.{{fact}} Riku Replica was created using data collected by Vexen from his fight with the real [[Riku]]. He believed he was the real Riku due to [[Naminé]]'s memory manipulation.
When defeated, Nobodies fade back into darkness. Their defeat, in combination with the destruction of their original selves' Heartless, restores their human forms. Completed once more, the Nobodies' memories remain intact. However, their human form will still have to deal with any trauma resulting from the attack that destroyed their physical body.{{?}}<!--cite to KH3 Ultimania -- secret reports section-->In Sora's case, whose Nobody gained a heart of its own, he does not retain any memory from their Nobody consciously. Because of such, a running gag is that those who knew Roxas in the first Organization mistakenly believe that Sora retains memory of Roxas's time with them. This led to the members of the original Organization XIII repeatedly calling Sora "Roxas", much to his annoyance and confusion.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts II}}{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts III}}


Xion, an imperfect Replica of [[Roxas]], was made by [[Xemnas]] from [[Sora]]'s memories. Xion was so different from Roxas because the memories she was made from took the physical appearance of Sora's most important and strongest memory: [[Kairi]]. Replicas, like Nobodies, fade into [[Darkness]] after they are defeated. Xion, however, was absorbed by Roxas, therefore she continues to live on inside him, and inside Sora.
Nobodies born in special circumstances such as Naminé and Roxas are able to exist at the same time as their original selves, however they can experience unexpected physical reactions when in close proximity to them, as when Roxas is overcome by fatigue and passes out when near Sora's location in Castle Oblivion.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]''''', '''Interviewer:''' "Why did Roxas faint in Castle Oblivion on Day 297?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "Because he had gotten too close to both Sora and Ventus, his 'real self'." [https://www.khinsider.com/news/BBS-Ultimania-20-Mysteries-Solved-2546 Translation via Lissar].</ref>


Most Replicas have a mysterious, stoic nature and very seldom give straight answers. Also, a trait shared by all Replicas shown in any version of the series is that they are very sensitive about the fact that they are copies. Riku Replica, upon learning he was a Replica, constantly referred to himself as "fake" and became obsessed with trying to become a different being than Riku. Xion even refers to herself as a "puppet" after she learns of her existence. In the manga, the Vexen Replicas are very quiet and sad compared to the original Vexen, telling the Riku Replica that "we are all failed replicas."
Beings with hearts of pure light, such as the [[Princesses of Heart]] and [[Ventus]], are unable to produce a Nobody when their hearts leave their bodies, except in the aforementioned special circumstances (as is the case with Naminé). This is because their hearts lacked darkness within them, so their bodies and souls were unable to leave the Realm of Light, leaving them in a comatose state.


[[File:The Tactician's End 01 KHRECOM.png|thumb|250px|The Riku Replica absorbing Zexion.]]
High-ranking Nobodies can be reduced to a lower rank. Members of Organization XIII consider being turned into a Dusk a form of punishment.
Replicas seem to have a few unique abilities. Replicas appear to be able to fight as soon as they are created, not needing to learn fighting techniques or become stronger. This is most likely a trait passed down from the person they were created from. The most prominent ability Replicas have is the ability to absorb the life-force of other beings, increasing the Replica's overall power and allowing them to use any unique abilities the being absorbed may have had. In fact, the main reason for Xion's creation was for her to absorb [[Roxas]] and become "the new Sora", thus preventing the real Sora from ever awakening from his sleep. Also, Riku Replica absorbed [[Zexion]]'s energy in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', something that was encouraged by [[Axel]]. This indefinitely made Zexion fade as his power seeped out, and in turn, this made Riku Replica obtain more power.

The Nobody emblem.

A Nobody (ノーバディ Nōbadi?) is the body and soul of a strong-willed individual who has lost their heart. While this enemy type makes its first appearance in Kingdom Hearts II, members of Organization XIII appeared in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, albeit as unclassified opponents.

The Nobody emblem is a splintered, upside-down heart that resembles Terra's Mark as Xemnas remembers it.[1] It appears for the first time in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, in which it is emblazoned on the Specter's head and designates sleights used by the Riku Replica and members of Organization XIII.

Story[edit]

Between Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts[edit]

The first eight members of the Organization are created when Terra-Xehanort attacks them.

Needing vessels for his plan to create thirteen darknesses, Xehanort tricks Aeleus, Dilan, Even and Ienzo into giving up their hearts as part of their research into the nature of the heart and the Heartless, using his Keyblade to extract their hearts. When Braig questions his intentions, Xehanort simply extracts his heart next. Following this, he turns the Keyblade on himself and extracts his own heart. This creates the first six members of Organization XIII, who are commanded by Xemnas, Xehanort's Nobody, to recruit more members into their ranks.

Kingdom Hearts[edit]

Sora becomes a Heartless in Hollow Bastion. This creates two Nobodies: Roxas and Naminé. The former appears in Twilight Town and joins Organization XIII, while the latter finds herself in Castle Oblivion and in Organization XIII's custody.

On a return trip to Hollow Bastion, Sora battles and defeats Xemnas.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories[edit]

Marluxia, the Organization's Number XI, leads Sora and his friends to Castle Oblivion. There, he forces Naminé to tamper with Sora's memories in an attempt to gain the Keyblade's power. When Riku awakens in Castle Oblivion's lower levels, he faces some of the Organization's founding members and learns Nobodies belong to neither the light nor darkness.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days[edit]

Roxas at his induction into Organization XIII.

Organization XIII uses Roxas and Xion to collect hearts. This is in accordance with its plan to create Kingdom Hearts, which will enable its members to become whole again. The Organization also searches for the Chamber of Waking and develops the Replica Program.

Roxas, who discusses being a Nobody with his friend Axel, battles Dusks and Samurais in a series of three trials at The World That Never Was: Mission 10, Mission 33, and Mission 71. He confronts more when he attempts to abandon Organization XIII.

Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

Xemnas and the rest of the Organization face Sora in Hollow Bastion.

After Roxas is placed in The Other Twilight Town, Axel is ordered to retrieve him. The Organization's Number VIII teams up with several lesser Nobodies in an attempt to get his friend back.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy learn about Nobodies from Yen Sid at the Mysterious Tower. They clash with these foes multiple times, and they destroy the surviving members of Organization XIII: Xemnas, Xigbar, Xaldin, Saïx, Demyx, and Luxord.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance[edit]

In The World That Never Was, a resurrected Xemnas tells Sora that Nobodies can grow new hearts and feel emotions. It is revealed this fact was deliberately kept from the other members of Organization XIII, who were meant to inherit Master Xehanort's heart through Kingdom Hearts.[2]

Ienzo reveals to Lea that when a Heartless and Nobody are destroyed and their hearts find their vessels, they are returned to the place they became a Heartless and Nobody. However, if that world is unavailable or otherwise destroyed, they would appear in Traverse Town.[3]

Kingdom Hearts III[edit]

The gang prepare to fight a million Heartless, Nobodies and Unversed
The gang prepare to face a great many Heartless, backed by Unversed and Nobodies.

Xigbar, Saïx, Vexen, Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia and Larxene return to Nobodies to become members of the real Organization XIII; Xemnas's heart is extracted from the past and placed in a replica, so he may also serve as a member. Xigbar, Luxord, Marluxia, and Larxene encounter Sora throughout the worlds on their respective missions to find and protect the New Seven Hearts and to find the Black Box. Two new breeds of High-ranking Nobody: Reaper and Ninja are also introduced as adversaries.

At the Keyblade Graveyard, swarms of Nobodies are called in by Xemnas to help the Heartless and Unversed wear down the Seven Guardians of Light. After Terra-Xehanort is repelled by the Lingering Will, another wave of Nobodies is summoned by Dark Riku and Xigbar along with more Heartless. Thanks to the combined efforts of the traitorous Vexen and Demyx, along with Ansem the Wise, Roxas is revived using a replica body. Luxord, Marluxia, and Larxene are defeated, beginning their re-completion again.

Design[edit]

A Dusk, a common lesser Nobody.

Lesser Nobodies are humanoid enemies that are primarily grey in coloration. They possess a certain elasticity that enables them to contort their bodies into a variety of shapes. An often overlooked feature of lesser Nobodies is their lack of eyes; though some such as the Dragoon and Samurai emulate eyes. This means Nobodies are blind and rely on their other senses. Lesser Nobodies bear the Nobody emblem. In Kingdom Hearts III, Nobodies have a metallic sheen.

Nobodies who possess the strongest of wills, like the members of Organization XIII, are able to retain their human forms. Their bodies lack the Nobody emblem.

The Gummi Nobodies' emblem.

Gummi Nobodies come in a variety of colors and have streamlined, machine-like bodies. Like lesser Nobodies, they also bear the Nobody emblem.

Unlike their Heartless counterparts, the Nobodies are not classified by method of creation, but instead by rank. High-ranking Nobodies generally serve a specific Organization member, while low-ranking Nobodies are used by all members. Another distinct difference is that Nobodies are all naturally born, unlike the Heartlless who have the artificially-created Emblem variety; thus this makes the Nobody emblem a natural feature on lesser Nobodies.

Nature[edit]

Nobodies are empty shells left behind by strong hearts.

Nobodies are created when strong-willed individuals lose their hearts and fall to darkness. The bodies that remain give Nobodies their form, while the abandoned souls give them life. People with the strongest wills are able to retain human form when they become Nobodies. Despite being formed by the discarded body, it appears that Nobodies are primarily defined by the heart that leaves said body; Naminé is considered the Nobody of Kairi due to being the result of Kairi’s heart leaving Sora’s body when he became a Heartless, and Xemnas is made of Terra’s body and soul, but is more strongly tied to Xehanort due to Master Xehanort’s heart having left when Terra-Xehanort gave in to darkness.

At birth, Nobodies are rejected by both light and darkness.[4] Instead, they are made to walk the realm between and doomed to a state of non-existence.[5]

Nobodies are said to be incapable of experiencing emotion. While they tend to retain the memories they made as humans, the feelings they display are merely an act.[6][7] Memories alone enable Nobodies to correctly respond to the situations in which they find themselves. Despite this, Nobodies are able to think for themselves and are organized, whereas the Heartless are more instinctual enemies, generally attacking opponents in massive swarms, relying on sheer strength of numbers to defeat them.[8] Nobodies feel physical pain, and in the Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories manga, they are seen reading, cooking, or doing jigsaw puzzles in an attempt to fill their emptiness. Innate behaviors and preferences are retained, such as Axel's fondness for sea-salt ice cream[9] and Vexen's obsession with research.[10] Despite claims that Nobodies don’t age, existing as they were at the time of becoming a Nobody,[11] it's evident that humanoid Nobodies can still age, as shown with Zexion, who became a Nobody as a child, and Naminé.

It is possible for Nobodies to grow new hearts.[12] Master Xehanort and Xemnas use this to their advantage, and Sora learns this when he experiences Roxas's pain first-hand at the end of his hijacked Mark of Mastery exam. In Sora's words, one must "have a heart to cry." [13] Should Nobodies without memories like Roxas and Naminé regrow hearts, they become entirely new people from their original selves.[14][15][16]

When defeated, Nobodies fade back into darkness. Their defeat, in combination with the destruction of their original selves' Heartless, restores their human forms. Completed once more, the Nobodies' memories remain intact. However, their human form will still have to deal with any trauma resulting from the attack that destroyed their physical body.[?]In Sora's case, whose Nobody gained a heart of its own, he does not retain any memory from their Nobody consciously. Because of such, a running gag is that those who knew Roxas in the first Organization mistakenly believe that Sora retains memory of Roxas's time with them. This led to the members of the original Organization XIII repeatedly calling Sora "Roxas", much to his annoyance and confusion. Kingdom Hearts II Kingdom Hearts III

Nobodies born in special circumstances such as Naminé and Roxas are able to exist at the same time as their original selves, however they can experience unexpected physical reactions when in close proximity to them, as when Roxas is overcome by fatigue and passes out when near Sora's location in Castle Oblivion.[17]

Beings with hearts of pure light, such as the Princesses of Heart and Ventus, are unable to produce a Nobody when their hearts leave their bodies, except in the aforementioned special circumstances (as is the case with Naminé). This is because their hearts lacked darkness within them, so their bodies and souls were unable to leave the Realm of Light, leaving them in a comatose state.

High-ranking Nobodies can be reduced to a lower rank. Members of Organization XIII consider being turned into a Dusk a form of punishment.

List of Nobodies[edit]

  • All high-ranking Nobodies are named after Jobs from the Final Fantasy series.
  • Nobodies listed in bold serve as bosses.

Notes and references[edit]

  1. ^ Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania, Interviewer: "Where did the Organization's coat and mark come from?" / Tetsuya Nomura: "One year after Birth by Sleep, Xehanort, as well as five other apprentices toss aside their hearts. Then the Nobody Xemnas was born, and the Organization which he creates take a lot of things from his memories, as a human. But as Xemnas had two people who he was, Terra and Master Xehanort, he takes from both of their memories. [...] The Nobody mark used by the Organization is a similar shape to the mark Terra used." Translation via Lissar.
  2. ^ Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Xemnas: "A heart is never lost for good. There may have been variances in our dispositions, but a number of us unquestionably showed signs of a burgeoning replacement. Once born, the heart can also be nurtured. Our experiments creating Heartless were attempts to control the mind, and convince it to renounce its sense of self. But understand, one can banish the heart from the body, but the body will try to replace it the first chance it gets, for as many times as it takes. And so I knew, even after we were divided into Heartless and Nobodies, it was just a temporary separation." / Sora: "Why, then? Why did you lie to them and tell them they had no hearts?" / Xigbar: "Xemnas and Xehanort formed the Organization for a specific reason—round up a bunch of empty husks, hook them up to Kingdom Hearts, then fill them all with the exact same heart and mind. Translation—they were gonna turn all the members into Xehanort."
  3. ^ Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Ienzo: "When someone who's lost their heart is recompleted, they should return to the place where it happened. And if that world is unavailable for whatever reason, a refuge is made for them in the realm between—a world called "Traverse Town". They would be sent there."
  4. ^ Kingdom Hearts II, Xemnas: "We who were turned away by both light and dark—never given a choice?"
  5. ^ Kingdom Hearts II, Yen Sid: "A spirit that goes on even as its body fades from existence---for you see, Nobodies do not truly exist at all."
  6. ^ Kingdom Hearts II, Yen Sid: "Nobodies may seem to have feelings, but this is a ruse---they only pretend to have hearts. You must not be deceived!"
  7. ^ Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Xaldin: "You act as though you have a heart. When was the last time any of us felt anything?"
  8. ^ Kingdom Hearts II, Yen Sid: "While Heartless act on instinct, Nobodies function in a higher manner. They can think and plan."
  9. ^ Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Roxas: "Sea-salt is Axel's favorite."
  10. ^ Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories, Vexen:' "I'm a scientist; experiments are what I do, yes."
  11. ^ New Famitsu Interview with Tetsuya Nomura!, Nomura: "Nobodies don’t age; they exist as they were at the time of becoming a Nobody."
  12. ^ Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Xemnas: "One can banish the heart from the body, but the body will try to replace it the first chance it gets, for as many times as it takes. And so I knew even after we were divided into Heartless and Nobodies, it was just a temporary separation."
  13. ^ Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Sora: "You know don't you? That you all have hearts? Roxas, Axel and Naminé, and that other girl. I felt what Roxas felt. They laughed, they got mad, and they grieved. You have to have a heart to cry."
  14. ^ Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Naminé: "None of us imagined that they would fight so hard to become their own people."
  15. ^ Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Roxas: "I am me! Nobody else!"
  16. ^ Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Roxas: "I know, because I'm you." / Sora: "No, Roxas; you're you. We're not the same."
  17. ^ Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania, Interviewer: "Why did Roxas faint in Castle Oblivion on Day 297?" / Tetsuya Nomura: "Because he had gotten too close to both Sora and Ventus, his 'real self'." Translation via Lissar.
