Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

Terra's Story

"Geez Louise, one chump after another. It's like a who's who of decathlon disasters around here. All I need is one measly warrior tough enough to give Zeus a jolt of his own medicine! Wait... Dark, moody, powerful. Yes! He's perfect."
— walking into the vestibule.
"Name is Hades, Lord of the Dead, god of the Underworld, yadda yadda, how ya doin'? Hey, lemme guess, you're trying to put the kibosh on the darkness inside you. Am I right? Of course I'm right. Well, anyway, bad idea."
— introducing himself to Terra.
"Okay, stay with me here—darkness is inside...everybody. Nothing to be ashamed of. You play nice with it, and darkness will be your best friend. But if you go and get all self-conscious and refuse to face it, the darkness will run over you like a debutante at a toga sale. And then where are you? Nowhere. Now me, I look at you and I see potential. That's right, kid. You got the potential to conquer the darkness inside you. And I'll even give you some pointers. I mean, believe me, if anybody knows conquering, I know conquering."
— talking to Terra about the darkness.
"Easy. You sign up for the Games. I know, I know. "Please, Lord Hades, the Games?" But hey, you would be surprised what you can learn in the heat of battle. And don't worry. I'll be right there to guide you every step of the way. I'm kinda what you'd call an expert in the art of darkness. Oh, decide fast. This is a limited-time offer."
— talking about conquering Terra's darkness.
"What's this? "Favorite god"? Pfft, come on. "Hades." There, ba-boom. Easy peasy."
— while writing down Terra's information.
"Okay...this is not what I had in mind. But hey, I can improvise. Time for plan beta..."
— before Zack appears.
"Hello, plan beta. Hey, kid! Over here, c'mere."
— talking to Zack.
"Huh? So, what do ya think? You like my new super-warrior? See—right here, this—it's the power of darkness. Coulda been yours. Still could, if you open up to it."
— during Terra and Zack's fight.
"Forget it. It looks like I bet on the wrong dark horse. That kid doesn't have what it takes to handle darkness."
— after Terra defeats Zack.

Aqua's Story

"Really—it's you? Here I thought I'd drop in to see which muscle-head was up next, and... Holy hydras! It's just a little girl, a little lassie, a little bluebird."
— upon Aqua beating Zack.
"I'm sorry, is that a mosquito? Where did I put that bug spray?"
— insulting Zack.
"So I take it you're acquainted with the spineless chickenheart."
— talking to Aqua about Terra.
"Funny, ya know, 'cause I heard different. Ya see, it was Chickenheart who asked me for a little, shall we say...instruction on how to use darkness in the first place. (…) And he was so close to doing it, too, when the sap went and got cold feet. Now if that ain't cowardly, I don't know what is. But you, my little bluebird… Why not flit over here and demonstrate some real courage for the winning team?"
— talking to Aqua about Terra.
"Well, that was rude. A "No, thank you, your godliness" might've sufficed. Fortunately, I still get to--ahem--destroy you. Rules say you face me next. And I have a whole lot of darkness...with your name on it!"
— before disappearing.
"Rule No. 2: Combatants may call for backup." Maybe you better call yours, bluebird."
— before Aqua battles him and Ice Colossus.
"I knew that snow cone wouldn't cut it. I need a real Titan. Ha, stay tuned."
— after Aqua defeats both him and Ice Colossus.

Kingdom Hearts

"Rather a stubborn old goat, wouldn't you say?"
— talking to Sora and company about Phil.
"Whoa, hold on there, fuzz boy. Wait, let me guess. You want to enter the games, right?"
— to Sora and company about Sora's desire to enter the Games.
"Well, then, hey, get a load of this."
— talking to Sora, giving him a ticket to enter the Games.
"It's all yours. Good luck, kid. I'm pulling for you, little shorty."
— talking to Sora about pulling for him in the Games.
"That little punk is your next opponent, okay? Now, don't blow it. Just take him out."
— talking to Cloud about taking out Sora.
"I know! You think I don't know? I wrote the contract! I know it says you're only required to kill Hercules in this tournament. But you've gotta fight that kid to get to him. Come on."
— talking to Cloud about the latter's contract and fighting Sora.
"Hey, it's like that old goat says: Rule 11: It's all just a game, so let loose and have fun with it!"
— talking to Cloud about the Games.
"I mean, a casualty or two along the way is no big deal, right?"
— talking to Cloud about defeating Sora.
"Geez. Stiffer than the stiffs back home. Still, suckers like him are hard to come by..."
— talking about Cloud
"Oh, right, there was one rule I forgot: Accidents happen."
— about sending Cerberus into the Coliseum.
"He's strong, he's kind. He's always there for you, and he's handsome to boot. He's perfect. Perfect. Perfectly infuriating! He makes me crazy."
— talking about Hercules.
"Wait a minute. What are you worried about? All the pieces are in place. Relax. Here's what you do. Let Hercules train the kid. In the next games, I'll take care of them both."
— talking about Sora.
"Who invited you to the party? Stay out of this. This is my show."
— talking to Maleficent.
"That smarmy vizier could’ve had ‘em—if someone had stuck around to give him a hand."
— talking about Jafar.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Lighten up. I’m as cool as they come, okay? By the way, kid, have we got something special for you."

"Yo, hey, how're you doin' everybody yeah. Got a minute? Hades, Lord of the Dead. Nice to see you. Hey guess what? I got a place for you down under!"
— before battling in the Hades cup.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories

"Whoa-whoa-whoa, wait just a MINUTE! What is THIS? "Hercules is a model of true strength and gallantry - the perfect hero"?! Oh, he's perfect, all right. PERFECTLY INFURIATING! Just thinking about that little sunspot makes me boil! Grraah! I'd like to send him to the Underworld...permanently!"
— talking about Hercules to Cloud.
"Now, now, Cloud, we don't want to spill the beans."
— talking to Cloud.
" Looks like you oversold yourself, Cloud. All you did was wear him down. This doesn't look good for your performance rating... Let me put it this way: You, my spiky-haired friend, are fired."
— "firing" Cloud.
"I said, you're through! This time I'll take care of Irk-ules myself!"
— pushing everyone away from him.
"Cloud may have failed to take you out, but he did break you down. Time for Plan B. Pack your pita, Herc, 'cause you've just won a free trip to the Underworld — paid by me!"

"Just the Underworld's deepest dungeon. This time I'm bringing out the mother of all bad guys."
— before bringing back Auron.
"Let's cut to the chase. Here's the deal I'm gonna offer you. I let you out of the slammer-no strings-you'll be free as a bird. And all for one little job. Fight Hercules, in the Coliseum...to the death!"
— offering a deal to Auron.
"Did you forget who you're talking to? I am the Lord of the Dead!"
— talking to Auron.
"YOU ARE FIRED!!!"
— before attempting to kill Auron after he insults [him].

"Leaving so soon?"
— before Sora and company tries to leave his chambers.
"This is MY Underworld, you idiot! I'll handle this MYSELF! (snaps fingers) Cerberus, go!"
— before Sora and company fights Cerberus.
"Let me see if I got this right... That brat's Keyblade works on any lock?"
— talking to Pete about Sora's keyblade.
"Have I ever told you about about the killer coliseum we have right here in the Underworld? It makes the one upstairs look like an Olympic kiddie pool."
— mentioning the Underdrome to Pete.
"Problem: Zeus locked it tight."
— when Pete suggests to use the Underdrome to destroy Hercules.

"Could today possibly get any better? This time Wonder-breath is going down for good."
— after the chamber starts collapsing.
"Yeah, yeah, Styx and stones. Hey, maybe you should go check on that Hydra you neglected to finish off. I hear things are really FALLING APART up there, champ."
— talking to Hercules about the Coliseum.
"Hate to run, but I've got another little diversion to attend to."
— before retreating to prepare the next tournament.
"The Underdrome's back, and you are gonna fill the stands. After all, your fans won't settle for anything less than a certified hero."
— talking about the Underdrome.
"Excuse me? Hey, I'm not a selfish guy. I'm not like those high and mighty snobs up on Olympus. I stand for the masses! And have I got a massive idea! The games, ladies and gentlemen...are back! Yours truly, Hades---the one and only Lord of the Dead---brings you the ultimate games, to celebrate the re-opening of the ultimate coliseum! We'll finally answer the age-old question: Who deserves the title "Ultimate Hero"? These games are gonna settle the debate once and for all! The winner reigns supreme. Of what? You guessed it! The Hades Cup! And I assure you that the "Great" Hercules will be there. Otherwise..."
— talking about the Hades Cup to Sora and company.
"...You'll never see your girlfriend again."
"Heh. You're too kind, kid."

— talking to Auron.
"Now that is entertainment!"
— while Auron and Hercules fights.
"Why those little—Ugh, prisoner! What happened to our mutual agreement? I can give you a clean slate, but you gotta work with me."
— after realizing he lost control over Auron.
"That's it! This game is over. I've played by the rules so far. Okay, I confess! I was hoping Wonderboy would lose, but it was still a fair fight. C'mon, is that really so wrong? Huh?"
— admitting his deceitful tactics to Sora and company.
"Laugh, laugh, laugh all you want! (laughs weakly) Because the laughing is about to stop. Wanna know why? Because now we're gonna play by my rules."
— before suspending Megara in a puff of smoke.
"Oh, yeah. This is gonna be good."
— before Sora and company fights him while invincible.
"What is so funny, you imbeciles! How dare you get a happy ending! How DARE you!"
— before fighting Sora and company as well as Hercules.
"It's...not over...yet..."
— after being defeated and tripping into the swirling vortex.

Kingdom Hearts coded

"Hmmm...Some brat's wandered his way in here. But this maze was made to trap even a hero. This brat ought to run away crying in no time. I've got a bigger problem, namely Hercules. Thanks to this maze, today will be the day I finally drag him down to the Underworld! Right now, time to sit back and enjoy the games. Can't end the game too quickly now, can we?"
— talking about Sora.
"Hahaha...To think that this maze will outlast even me. Those two are in an awfully good mood, considering how little they know. Now, it's your turn."
— talking to Cloud.
"You do want to break away from your past and your powerlessness, don't you? Steal the power of heroes, and go for it! All you have to do is destroy them! Crush them into paste!"
— talking to Cloud about defeating Sora.
"I thought you'd at least be useful enough to take out Hercules once and for all... But no, you're useless after all. I lied to you, much as it pains my heart to admit it."

"I said, I don't need you. You do your thing, I'll do mine."
