Template:InfoCharacter The Data Sora is a playable character in Kingdom Hearts coded. It is a digital replica of Sora that King Mickey used to investigate a computer simulation of Jiminy's Journal, and though it behaves much like the real Sora, it is thought to not be an actual person.
Data Sora is aware of the fact that he is an artificial being and displays the exact same personality as the real Sora.
Story
Kingdom Hearts coded
In Kingdom Hearts coded, a Sora made of data is created by King Mickey to go on a mission: to solve a mysterious message written in Jiminy's Journal saying "We must return to free them from their torment". Because the journal is corrupted by a bunch of computer bugs in the form of data blocks, this Sora is created to destroy them.
It has been reported that the actual Sora does not appear, and the Sora in this game is a computer A.I. created from data that Jiminy gathered on him in the original Kingdom Hearts (however, as Jiminy's journal was cleared after their slumber between Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II, this creates controversy). When he first wakes up, he finds himself in Awakening, where the real Sora first obtains the Keyblade. After that, he travels to each data world to fix all the Bug Block Corruption there.
In Episode 4, the Data Sora meets King Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and Jiminy in Disney Castle. After Sora appears in the castle, a man in Organization XIII's black cloak appears and reveals himself to be Jiminy's Journal incarnated in Riku's form. After the Journal explains the situation to them, Sora sets off to fix the data worlds. He also asks the Journal if they are just artificial data. But the Journal said it doesn't matter as long as they will help their friends, which puts Sora's heart at ease. After he heals Olympus Coliseum's Block Corruption, he meets the real-world Pete.
In Episode 5, after he heals Agrabah's Bug Block Corruption, the Data Sora finally catches up to Pete and is attacked by the real-world Maleficent, who destroys his data Keyblade.
In Episode 6, Mickey and Jiminy's Journal arrive and dispatch the Heartless, but the journal is abducted by Pete and Maleficent. Mickey gives pursuit, and Sora, unable to defend himself without the Keyblade, makes his way through the data Hollow Bastion, reuniting with Donald and Goofy along the way. They engage Pete in battle. When Pete comment that Sora is just data like his data Keyblade and doesn't had a Hearts which frustrated Sora. But Donald and Goofy defend that he's as real as the real Sora and has a Heart. They also comment that their hearts connected with Sora and his heart is real. Then Sora obtained the real Keyblade and King Mickey appeared and explained this Keyblade is tightly connected to the Power of the Heart. Sora than foght and defeats Pete, but Pete calls out the journal, whom he has placed under his control by using Bug Blocks. Sora fights the journal three times, each time seeing an increase in the journal's strength, but still manages to defeat the journal's Riku-like incarnation. The Keyblade opens a keyhole all of a sudden, and Mickey arrives and says that unless the Bugs are destroyed, the journal will never awaken.
Abilities
As Data Sora is based off of the real-world Sora, it fights exactly the same as this real-world counterpart. Utilizing a basic ground combo comprised of three hits and an aerial combo that ends in a devastating spin-slash, it is currently unknown if the Data Sora will utilize any special abilites as seen in past games during gameplay.
Weapon
Similar to its real-world counterpart, the Data Sora wields a Data version of the Kingdom Key. It utilizes this mighty blade to fend off Heartless and Blocks. Data Sora gained the Keyblade in the data Awakening, but lost it to Maleficent in Agrabah. Eventually he got a new one in data Hollow Bastion. The new Keyblade he got is tightly connected to the Power of the Heart commented by King Mickey. So Sora probably obtained the real Keyblade whuch belongs to the real Sora.
Trivia
- The Data Sora only has access to the Kingdom Key. This makes coded the second game in which Sora has only one Keychain available, the other being Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories or Re:Chain of Memories. While Chain of Memories and its remake allow technical access to Sora's other Keychains through cards, it is unknown if this can be done in coded in any way.
- Similar to its real-world counterpart, the Data Sora travels to numerous worlds from Disney movies, experiencing plots and encounters with various characters derrived from past games in the series. The Data Sora also loses its Keyblade to Maleficent, as the real Sora did in Hollow Bastion, and earns a weapon in the Awakening. The only difference is that the Data Sora automatically gains access to the Keyblade, whereas the true Sora was forced to choose a Dream Weapon.
