Buzz Lightyear
Kingdom Hearts Union χ
Toy Story (1995) A former space ranger, Buzz now cares most about keeping his new family together.

"You can't be serious. Oh! That's right, you're from a video game. Well, maybe in your game, that's how things work... but here in reality, you can't "split worlds." This is ridiculous."

—Buzz to Sora

Buzz Lightyear is a toy based on a Space Ranger from Toy Box who is a party member set to appear in Kingdom Hearts III. He originated in the Disney/Pixar film, Toy Story.

Development

The proposal folder shown to Buena Vista included plans for a world based on Toy Story. For Kingdom Hearts II a model of Buzz Lightyear and Woody Pride were created for a similar purpose but according to the series' director Tetsuya Nomura, there was never a chance to present them to Disney so the idea was scrapped. Both the world and the characters finally made their appearance in Kingdom Hearts III as party members in Toy Box.

Story

Kingdom Hearts III

As the Heartless invaded the Toy Box, many toys have vanished and the remaining toys haven't heard seen the humans either. Buzz's laser mysteriously started working. One day, as Woody planned a counterattack on the Heartless, Buzz spotted Sora, Donald and Goofy coming and halted everyone to watch them. After the Heartless were defeated, Buzz, Woody and the other toys came to congratulate them. Buzz was the one who didn't trust Sora, but on Woody's insistence agreed to help. After arriving at Galaxy Toys, Young Xehanort appeared and spoke about the world being split with the missing friends on the other world. Buzz couldn't understand any of it or believe it. He dismissed the idea and almost bailed on the group. But Woody persuaded him to stay after Rex, Hamm and the Aliens have been abducted. He chose to remain skeptical but agreed that they need the extra help.

Appearance

Buzz is a Space Ranger action figure. He has a large build and a very prominent chin. His head and neck are covered in a tight purple cowl. He has a white space suit with a green chest plate featuring red, green, and blue buttons on the right side and a round red button on his left used to deploy and collapse the wings from his jet pack. His right arm ordinarily has a light bulb that flashes red to simulate a laser, however during the events of Kingdom Hearts III, it is replaced by a working laser. He has a collapsible, clear dome helmet that is controlled by the purple knobs on the side of it. There is a black coil around his waist.

Personality

Buzz is cautious and skeptical following the disappearance of his friends. He distrusts Sora, Donald, and Goofy initially, and believes the best solution is to wait in Andy's room for his return, rather than seek an answer.

Abilities

Origin

Buzz Lightyear first appeared in Pixar's first feature film Toy Story in 1995, voiced by Tim Allen, and has since appeared in its sequels Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3, as well as several television specials and shorts. The character also appeared in Disney/Pixar's animated film Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins, and the television series Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, which both are about the character which the toy in Toy Story is based on. Tim Allen reprised his role for the The Adventure Begins, but was later replaced with Patrick Warburton for the TV series (including the TV series version of The Adventure Begins).

In the 1995 film, Buzz Lightyear is the newest toy in the collection of a boy named Andy. He initially believes that he is the real Buzz Lightyear, a space ranger on a mission to defeat his arch-nemesis, the evil Emperor Zurg, and repeatedly attempts to return to space. Woody, Andy's favorite toy, is jealous about the amount of time Andy now spends with Buzz and tried to hide him from Andy. In the process, he gets them both lost and in the possession of Sid, the toy-torturer who lives next door. In Sid's house, Buzz sees a commercial for the Buzz Lightyear action figure and finally realizes he is just a toy, sending him into a depression. With Woody's help, he regains his composure and the two of them escape back to Andy and become close friends.
