Journal Entry

Kingdom Hearts II

A samurai. A high-ranking Nobody. Using swords and their sheaths as weapons, it can handle up to four weapons at a time. It attacks with calmness and efficiency.

Make sure not to lose sight of it once it hides beneath the ground. After parrying its attack, it sits and waits, giving an opportunity to use reaction commands.

Fight one-on-one while the others sit back and watch.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

An advanced Nobody well-suited to combat in close quarters.

It pairs naturally high attack power with a dual blade attack that brings targets into submission.

These Nobodies serve under Roxas.

Strategy

Samurai Nobodies do not attack very spontaneously. Rather, these Nobodies will remain calm and poised for a long while before sending a flurry of blade swipes at Sora. Moving slowly, but gracefully, Samurais wait for Sora's attack before attacking themselves. Their Reaction Command, Duel Stance, results in a classic stand-off between Sora and the Nobody. The command list then goes blank. Once the command The End appears, the command must be selected before the Samurai makes its move. If not, the Samurai will strike first and deal a fair amount of damage. If there are other Nobodies or Heartless in close proximity to Sora's Reaction Command strike, they will also be affected by the attack. In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, the battle against Roxas features a very similar reaction command to his Samurai's "Duel Stance".
