{{Q|All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different. Darkness sprouts within it, it grows, consumes it. Such is its nature. In the end, every Heart returns to the darkness whence it came! You see, darkness is the heart's true essence...|[[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]]}}

'''Darkness''' is a force parallel to [[light]], and is also used in the form of attacks in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe. Darkness has been known to cause the loss of people's hearts if they have delved too deep into it. Slowly suppressed and conquered by darkness's influence, these unfortunate souls become [[Heartless]] and, if their [[heart]] is strong enough, leave behind a body that becomes a [[Nobody]]. Those who follow the path of darkness will usually gain untold power at the expense of something of their former selves. The [[Realm of Darkness]] is also one of the three known realms in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe, along with the [[Realm Between]], and the [[Realm of Light]].

Darkness is also been shown to be able to revive others, shown when Maleficent used the powers of darkness to resurrect [[Oogie Boogie]], and [[Ursula]]'s journal entry states the powers of darkness brought her back.

Darkness can also be used for transportation. Experienced users of darkness are able to open a Corridor of Darkness to travel between locations with a great degree of speed. However, these are physical corridors of Darkness, and prolonged or repetitive use of this means of travel will often allow Darkness to manifest deeper within a being, leaving them more vulnerable to its negative effects in the long run.

There are many items that have used for protection against darkness. Some of these items are seen as simple things, such as the [[Midnight Anklet]] and [[Champion Belt]], which boost the equipped character's resistance to dark-element attacks, or the [[Keyblade Armor]] and [[black coat]], which protect the wearer from the darkness between the worlds.
