Hearts can be absorbed into the body of another, either with permission (explicit or implied) from the body's owner, or by force. Both Ventus and Kairi had their hearts enter Sora after they were compromised in different ways. There are notable differences when hearts are placed into someone else, based on the intentions of said hearts' owner: Ventus and Kairi left their hearts with Sora for safekeeping, unintentionally giving him access to a Keyblade and Kairi's memories, respectively. However, if someone forces their heart into the body of another against their will, the victim will take on traits from the invading heart's original owner, as shown with [[Terra-Xehanort]]. In a similar scenario, if someone places a fragment of their heart into another, it can gradually turn the victim into a clone of the original person (though, in the case of Master Xehanort, his heart is strong and full of darkness, so it corrupts the host regardless if they are willing or unwilling).

In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', the members of the Organization, minus [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], [[Xemnas]], [[Young Xehanort]], and [[Vanitas]] (who already had hearts filled with darkness) did not turn into clones of Xehanort after receiving pieces of [[Master Xehanort]]'s heart; instead, they only gain his golden eyes and pointed ears. Even after their defeats, remnants of their hearts lingered on as copies of Master Xehanort in a unique new uniform; they later merged with him to create a powerful [[Keyblade Armor]].

The heart also has a heavy influence on all that lives, having the power to produce Heartless and potentially Nobodies at its loss or corruption by darkness. As the heart grants emotion, negative emotions formed when Vanitas and Ventus were split caused the Unversed to spawn, hence their connection to the heart. Hearts can also be merged to create unique Keyblades, such as the [[χ-blade]] and the Keyblade of heart. These Keyblades ultimately grant access to Kingdom Hearts.
