Template:InfoBoss The Guardian is an enemy from Kingdom Hearts.

Story

Ansem did not battle Sora alone in the End of the World, he used a familiar Heartless known as the Guardian. It served as a shield for Ansem during the battles against Sora. It would leap from behind Ansem to block an attack. Eventually, the Guardian transformed into the World of Chaos.

The Guardian resurfaced during Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+, when Riku used the dark powers to defeat Roxas. It no longer makes an appearance after being used to subdue Roxas, as Riku, who only used the darkness as his last resort, elects not to summon it any longer for fear of the darkness already eating at him.

Due to its immense power and ability to transform into a much more powerful version, it is possible that the Guardian is the most powerful of all Heartless. This stems from the fact that some believe the Guardian to be Ansem's true essence, as it primarily does all the fighting between the pair and even appears to Riku after he opens his heart to Ansem's darkness. It is unknown if the Guardian will ever appear again or if it's gone for good.

In Battle

The Guardian can possess Sora during the first two Ansem battles. It has the ability to sink into the floor and rise out in a burst of dark energy, similar to Cerberus' dark attack. It can also fire disks, which appear to be like strike raid. When possessing Sora, the "Freeze" command appears frequently, replacing the "Attack" command. Selecting "Freeze" causes the Guardian to hold Sora in place, allowing Ansem to attack the defenseless Sora. It's better to attack when possible and heal when necessary; as the Guardian damages Sora occasionally when in possession.

Similarities

The Guardian has often been associated with the Shadow, as it bares many resemblances to the Neoshadow, possibly even inspiring it's design. It is believed to be a "pure" heartless, as it bares no emblem. However, It was able to produce an emblem once Ansem was defeated, leading to much uncertainty.

Trivia

  • He is possible Heartless of Saïx and Master Xehanort's Apprentice <--- Ok, SERIOUSLY, the idiot who threw this junk in here proves how unreliable this site can be. I won't delete it in the hopes that people can get this message across. It not only has nothing to even remotely do with Trivia, but also is just overall an extremely foolish idea.
