Little is known about this man, save that he wears the coat of our Organization. He has not been seen to engage members in combat, instead merely jumping and guarding while watching our movements. Do enough damage, and he'll warp away.
This warrior of the dark wears our Organization's coat. A master of combat, he combines combo attacks with a tight defense, a homing projectile, and a block-counter. His weapon grows in power when the tides turn against him, increasing his attack range.
Sora can fight Riku on Destiny Islands before reporting to Kairi for the first time. Riku is the most difficult challenge on the island. His attacks are similar to other battles with his normal strikes. He has two special attacks; if Riku takes a few hits, he will jump back up kicking Sora, this can be dodged by jumping out of the way. His other comes if Sora hits him while he is guarding three times, he will unleash a powerful strike though this can be countered or dodged. The difficulty of this battle comes from falling off the small battle arena (if Sora goes out of bounds, the battle ends in defeat). Riku is worth 5 EXP.
Swings his wooden sword down after blocking an attack.
Guard: Repellable = Can be blocked and interrupted; Returnable = Can be blocked and deflected back; Preventable = Blockable by Goofy's shield only.
Riku (Sword)
Sora will be reunited with Donald and Goofy. The Beast will not join Sora's party, so make sure Sora's Strength and Defense are up. Riku can't be hurt by magic, so use Dodge Roll to avoid lunging attacks, then counterattack him from behind.
His moveset is similar to the battle at Destiny Islands, but now that he has the Soul Eater with him, they can be very damaging. He moves very fast too, so Dodge Roll out of harm's way. Melee attacks are recommended for this battle and simply heal when necessary.
Consider summoning Tinker Bell to restore Sora's HP periodically and to revive him if he falls.
Swings his sword down, then charges forward while slashing.
Guard: Repellable = Can be blocked and interrupted; Returnable = Can be blocked and deflected back; Preventable = Blockable by Goofy's shield only.
Riku (Keyblade)
This fight pits Sora against Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, who is possessing Riku and wielding the Keyblade of Heart. Since Sora is alone in this fight, restock his items and make sure he is in top notch condition before fighting Riku. He should also have the Olympia Keyblade equipped from completing the first three cups at Olympus Coliseum, alongside the Guard, Dodge Roll, Glide, and Counterattack abilities. Metal Chocobo is also a decent Keyblade to equip.
Riku's HP is made up of several bars. In his first HP bar, he'll attempt to toy with Sora, passing around him and only using Vertical Swing and Dash Swing; just simply dodge and attack him. Whatever combo is used, try to refrain from executing the combo finisher (unless Sora has Blitz equipped); Riku has fast recovery and can unleash devastating counterattacks. If Sora has Ars Arcanum equipped, save it for later. Using magic causes Riku to counterattack with Dark Firaga. Occasionally, Riku will put up a blocking stance. Do not attack at this point- doing so will cause him to retaliate. However, using Ars Arcanum can break through and deal damage without flinching him.
After Riku's first life bar has been drained, he will start using Shake Off; he'll spin around while swinging his Keyblade, similar to Sora's Vortex. He uses this attack very often, mostly to break Sora's combos. During this time, try keeping Sora at a safe distance, but not too far or Riku will make a high leap and attempt to stab him with his Keyblade, creating shockwaves that move sideways from his position. Now will be a good time to use Ars Arcanum, but just use it a few times and try saving MP, because Sora will be needing it later.
Eventually, Riku will activate Darkhand mode, where he cloak himself with darkness and a purple aura will surround him. During this period, his speed and agility increase and his attacks gain additional effects, like shock waves or projectiles (be careful when countering the projectiles, as if it hits Riku he will use Dark Firaga) and his infamous Dark Aura. Fortunately, the projectile can be deflected either by guarding or striking with perfect timing; for each successful deflect, Riku will receive damage and be momentarily stunned. Seize this opportunity and attack relentlessly.
When Riku's health bar drops to his final one, he'll stay in his Darkhand state permanently and become more aggressive and uses Dark Aura very often, telegraphed by him announcing, "Behold the power of darkness!" or "Open your heart to darkness!". Riku's Dark Aura is predictable, but it can be difficult to dodge. When he begins floating and charging, stay a safe distance away from him and High Jump followed by Glide right before he starts shooting around. Immediately execute Glide and move around in a circular fashion. Near the end of his assault, repeat the phase and start Gliding again. Riku's finisher covers about 60% of the arena, so it'll be pretty hard to evade it. Alternatively, when he charges to one particular end of the arena (he usually starts with the top left corner), jump and stay there: Riku will not charge into the same area twice. Avoiding the first charge and staying next to one of the computers of the arena may help avoid the entirety of the attack.
Attacking and counterattacking are good tactics while Riku is in this form, just pay attention to what he says and heal occasionally.
If Sora stands directly next to the computer when Riku uses Dark Aura, Riku cannot hit Sora at all except for the first hit. However, he will unleash Shock Slashes and combo Sora immediately afterward.
When Riku's health reaches critical levels, be sure to finish him quickly, as he will use Dark Aura very often, prolonging the fight. Aside from that, he'll start to keep his distance from Sora, so track him down and continue attacking. A good pattern to get into that causes great damage is immediately after executing a full or half combo, Guard, and repeat, almost never giving him a chance to attack.
However, a strategy to cause Riku to loop his tactics can make the fight much easier at any level. During the first phase, spamming magic on him (especially Fire or any of its variants) at him just to goad him into using Dark Firaga works wonders, as Sora can deflect it back at him each time, gaining Tech points and inflicting damage back at him. For the second phase however, whenever Riku is open, time Sora's basic attacks correctly so that his combo finisher gets deflected by his spinning attack (normally done with hitting him once before returning to neutral, then proceeding with the usual three-hit combo which requires no Combo Plus abilities equipped), and repeat the cycle after Riku recovers. Looping him like this will prevent him from using Dark Aura.
Performs several high-speed rushes, then releases a wide range of shock waves.
Used at low HP. Only the first rush aims at Sora and can be avoided by jumping. The other rushes can be avoided by staying in the edge of the arena or gliding around.
Goes occasionally into Darkhand state while the HP is decreased below a certain amount. Stays in Darkhand state while the HP is low.
Guard: Repellable = Can be blocked and interrupted; Returnable = Can be blocked and deflected back; Preventable = Blockable by Goofy's shield only.
Kingdom Hearts II
Riku-Ansem engaging in combat in the Land of Dragons.
Riku does not flinch from any form of attack. He can be damaged with the Reaction Command provided by the Rapid Thrusters that surround him. If enough Ethers are stocked, a good way to damage Riku is by using Trinity Limit or using Limits from Limit Form in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix. The battle ends when Sora deals enough damage to Riku. If Sora is struggling, just battle the Rapid Thrusters since they are endless and try to level up.
Riku will block almost all of Roxas's attacks, but will not counterattack. Pursue and attack Riku in order to herd him to the southern tunnels. While several Heartless will appear throughout the area, just ignore them and focus on Riku. Once Riku is chased into the southernmost tunnel, he will escape through a Dark Corridor and the mission will end.
In this battle, Roxas loses his Dual-wielding and fights only with Oathkeeper. In Mission Mode, Riku is replaced with Anti-Riku, who behaves the same.
Riku is weak to Aero, and can be brought down from long-range with little risk to Roxas is he has stocked enough of the spell, but make sure not to let them be negated by Guard Counter. Stocking several Cures is also useful, unless grinding Riku for EXP using the Extreme. In that case, Roxas should rely only on Aero to avoid taking damage.
Forms a wall before himself that repels attacks, and counterattacks any repelled physical attacks.
Telegraphed by Riku raising his left hand, as well as a "shink" sound. Can be avoided by simply attacking Riku from the side or rear. If the counterattack is triggered, quickly dodge to the side.
Rushes targets repeatedly with the Oblivion, then finishes by stabbing the Oblivion into the ground to generate a shockwave and several small explosions.
Only used while the Oblivion is shining. Can be dodged with Glide or well-timed Dodge Rolls.
When Riku is low on health, he infuses the Oblivion with shining energy, increasing the range and power of his attacks for the rest of the fight. During this phase, Riku no longer staggers from Roxas's attacks.
Guard/Block: △ = Can be blocked; O = Can be blocked and interrupted (melee) or deflected back (projectile); X = Cannot be blocked.

"Giving up already? Come on, Sora." — talking to Sora.
"Hey. Did you come from the outside world?" — talking to Terra.
"To protect the things that matter. You know, like my friends." — talking to Terra about wanting to protect his friends.
"I really can't. I've gotta keep it a secret." — talking to Sora about his secret.
"Too slow, Sora! See ya at the finish line!" — upon Aqua seeing him.
"Somebody up there must be sad." — while Sora sheds a tear.
"They say every world is connected by one great big sky. So maybe there's somebody up there in all those worlds who's really hurting, and they're waiting for you to help them." — talking to Sora about the worlds being connected.
"Hmm... Maybe they just need you to open your heart and listen." — after giving Sora advice.
Kingdom Hearts
"You sure you didn't just hear it this time?" — in a flashback when Sora tells him he saw a "monster".
"All right. Suppose there really is a monster... Think we can beat it by ourselves, Sora?" — to Sora in a flashback.
"Shh, quiet. We've gotta be careful." — in a flashback before entering the Secret Place.
"See that? It was just the wind making that noise." — debunking the "monster".
"A window, or maybe a door? It won't open." — inspecting the Keyhole.
"What do you expect in a boring place like this?" — on the Secret Place.
"When we grow up, let's get off this island. We'll go on real adventures, not this kid stuff!" — during Sora's flashback.
"Giving up already? Come on, Sora. I thought you were stronger than that." — to Sora.
"So, I guess I'm the only one working on the raft." — talking about making the raft.
"Well, I haven't really thought about it. It's just... I've always wondered why we're here on this island. If there are any other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one? And suppose there are other worlds... Then ours is just a little piece of something much greater. So we could have just as easily ended up somewhere else, right?" — talking about why they are here.
"If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each other's lives no matter what. C'mon, I know you want to try it." — talking about the Paopu Fruit.
"Deal? The winner gets to share a paopu with Kairi." — before the race with Sora.
"The door has opened..." — talking to Sora at the small island.
"The door has opened, Sora! Now we can go to the outside world!" — explaining to Sora.
"Kairi's coming with us! Once we step through, we might not be able to come back. We may never see our parents again. There's no turning back. But this may be our only chance. We can't let fear stop us! I'm not afraid of the darkness!" — before he is engulfed in darkness.
Kingdom Hearts Final Mix
"Where...am I? Sora! Kairi!" — in Hollow Bastion.
Kingdom Hearts
"Isn't she with you? Well, don't worry. I'm sure she made it off the island, too. We're finally free. Hey, she might even be looking for us now." — talking to Sora and company in Traverse Town.
"So, this is called a Keyblade?" — holding Sora's Keyblade.
"But Sora, I thought you liked games. Or are you too cool to play them now that you have the Keyblade?" — taunting Sora in Monstro.
"Why are you doing all this for me? What's the catch?" — talking to Maleficent.
"You up for this?" — before he, Sora and company fight Parasite Cage.
"Are they that important to you? More important than old friends? Instead of worrying about them, you should be asking...about her." — talking to Sora in Neverland.
"Let's get under way, already. And keep Sora away from Kairi until we're ready to land." — ordering Captain Hook.
"No vessel, no help from the Heartless... So tell me, how'd you get here?" — talking to Beast.
"Maleficent was right. You don't have what it takes to save Kairi. It's up to me. Only the Keyblade master can open the secret door...and change the world." — upon him gaining the keyblade.
"Really... Well, we'll just see about that!" — before he tries to hit Sora in Hollow Bastion.
"Your heart? What good will that weak little thing do for you?" — before fighting Sora.
"What? You're saying my heart's weaker than his?" — talking to Xehanort's Heartless.
"You've got to run! The Heartless are coming!" — warning Kairi, Donald, and Goofy before Ansem completely takes over his body.
Kingdom Hearts Final Mix
"Sora... Kairi... I'm sorry... Is this the afterworld?" — regretting relying on darkness, working for villains, and almost killing Sora and Kairi.
"I'm not ready. Not yet. Not until I see Sora and Kairi one last time..." — in the realm of darkness.
"Who are you? What's happened to me?" — to Mickey.
"Fate, huh? You seem to know everything, don't you? Then tell me: Are Sora and Kairi okay?" — to Mickey.
Kingdom Hearts
"Don't give up! Come on, Sora! Together, we can do it!" — trying to close the Door to Darkness.
"Take care of her." — before closing the door.

"Ungh... Where...where am I..." — upon starting.
"The king! Where's the king?! Together we closed the door to darkness, and after that... Grr, why can't I remember?" — about Mickey.
"You talk like I'm some kind of demon of the dark." — to DiZ.
"Yeah, well... Seems like a boring place to take a nap anyway." — to DiZ.
"Ordinarily? Hey, I'm asking you a question! Fine. But it'd better be you I run across next, Voice. I'm sick of talking to thin air." — to DiZ.
"This is Maleficent's castle! How'd I end up HERE? Someone must have brought me here while I was sleeping. But who?" — upon arriving in Hollow Bastion.
"No one here, either... There's nothing but Heartless in this castle. Voice! I know you're watching—so explain this. Where are the people from my memories? Tell me!" — to DiZ.
"You're full of it! I rejected the darkness!" — to DiZ.
"Of all the people I could run into, it had to be you..." — talking to Maleficent.
"There was a time I did want you around. I surrendered my heart to the dark. But never again. You and your darkness have nothing to offer. All I did was lose myself... Empty myself! I'm finished with all that. If I'm stuck seeing people like you, people of the dark...I'll take you out one by one." — to Maleficent.
"That's fine with me. I turned to darkness because my heart was weak. I hate that weakness. It's like I'm my own enemy. And seeing people like you embrace the darkness just makes it worse! Enough talk, Maleficent." — before battling Dragon Maleficent.
"You always were chatty when it came to darkness. So let me guess... You want to pull me back into the darkness and play puppet master again...right?" — talking to "Xehanort's Heartless".
"That voice...! Your Majesty, is that you?!" — upon Mickey appearing before him.
"I will. Hear that? I'm not losing to the darkness today, Ansem." — to DiZ.
"Who's running? Give me the cards. I'll enter those worlds. And in the end, if I haven't given up...I win." — to DiZ.
"Something...tastes kind of funny... What is it? It's so familiar... Darkness. The taste of darkness. What's happened to me... The darkness even seeps into my senses." — sensing darkness.
"You're...an illusion? My hand passes right through you." — before Mickey disappears.
"Maybe we do... But so what! Is that an invitation to join your club? Yeah, there's darkness inside me, just like you said. But darkness is my enemy! And you are, too, for making everything around here reek of it!" — before battling Vexen.
"What the... What are you supposed to be?" — upon meeting Riku Replica.
"Are you calling me a coward?" — before battling Riku Replica.
"Hey, FAKE. I thought you were gonna wipe the floor with me." — to Riku Replica.
"Sorry, you missed your chance. I'm finishing you first, right here!" — to Riku Replica.
"Oh, I get it. You think I'll stop fighting the darkness just to prove I'm not afraid of it. Nice try. But I'm gonna keep fighting." — before "Xehanort's Heartless" gives him more cards.
"Just one card left. If I get through this, can I finally rid myself of the dark?" — to himself.
"That scent... You're another "nobody."" — upon meeting Lexeaus.
"Huff...huff... What's wrong...Lexaeus... Is that all...darkness can do?" — after battling Lexeaus.
"No, it can't be... Darkness this foul could only belong to one person..." — about Ansem, Seeker of Darkness.
"Unnh... The king...protected me? Your Majesty, where are you? Please answer! You're with me...aren't you..." — after Mickey saves him from Xehanort's Heartless.
"Huh? The air has changed... One of the scents has died—a really strong one." — sensing Marluxia's defeat.
"Keyblade master... You mean Sora! Sora is here?!" — to Zexion.
"I never thought I'd miss the island winds so much... Funny—there was a time I couldn't wait to get off this rock. And now I'm acting all relieved. Is that...? Hey! What's with you guys? I don't think I've EVER seen the three of you so quiet. What, is there something on my face? Guys?!" — upon arriving in Destiny Islands and seeing Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka before they disappear.
"Kairi... Hey, Kairi. Don't tell me you— Ah... No, no, NO!" — to Kairi disappearing.
"That's a lie! I remember everyone from the islands! Tidus and Selphie and Wakka... Kairi and Sora, too! They're my...my... They're my friends..." — talking to Zexion.
"Sora?! Stop it, Sora! Don't you recognize me?" — to "Sora".
"I'm...fading... Consumed by the light..." — to himself after being enveloped in light by Zexion.
"—and I'll be able to see through the brightest light..." — to Naminé in the form of Kairi.
"You know I do. And I will! The darkness—MY darkness—will show me the way! Darkness, awaken!" — accepting his darkness.
"You reek of the dark. Even the light can't block out the smell. I followed the darkness right to you." — to Zexion.
"Ha ha, this time you're real. No illusions. I'm so glad you came!" — talking to Mickey.
"Don't worry, I'm okay. Just really relieved, that's all. I've been alone so long that having someone else around is a little...overwhelming. But how did you get here, Your Majesty? I thought you were really far away." — to Mickey.
"Where am I now? I don't remember this place. Your Majesty, do you know where we are? Your Majesty?" — arriving in Twilight Town.
"You're not Ansem. Your scent—it's different. The Ansem in my heart smells darker, more foul. But not you. It's not darkness I smell, it's...something else. I know. You're the one who guided me when this all started. You pretended to be Ansem and gave me the card, to make me face the darkness." — to DiZ.
"It'll go somewhere. Probably the same place my heart will go." — before Riku Replica vanishes.
"Hey! It's Sora! What did you do to him?" — talking to Naminé about Sora.
"I see... Sora chose to forget about this castle and get back his old memories." — to Naminé.
"And what happens to me if I let you do that? Will I forget everything, like Sora? I will, won't I..." — to Naminé.
"Sora looks like he hasn't got a care in the world. Will I sleep that well?" — to Naminé.
"Sora always did as he pleased. It doesn't matter what we were doing—he'd still go off and leave me with all the work. Take the raft we were gonna use to leave the islands. That was all me. I've made up my mind. When this slacker wakes up, I'm gonna tell him off good. I told him to take care of Kairi, and here he is taking a nap! But I can't chew him out if I've been sleeping, too. Keep your lock. I'd rather just finish Ansem off once and for all." — to Naminé.
"I'll make that darkness show me the way." — to Naminé.
"So that's why you came to me in the light. As Kairi." — to Naminé.
"I knew as soon as I met you. Somehow you...smell the same. Look after Sora." — before leaving Twilight Town.
"Boy, you really like pushing decisions on other people." — talking to DiZ.
"I'm glad you said that...but I have to face Ansem alone." — to Mickey.
"There's no point in doing this if I can't do it on my own. But I have a favor to ask. If Ansem wins, he's going to enslave me. If that happens, I want you to destr—" — to Mickey.
"Huh? You're not listening. I want you to destroy Ansem and me with—" — to Mickey.
"It's my choice to believe or not. I know you'd never let me down, Your Majesty." — to Mickey.
"Come on out, Ansem. I can smell you." — to Xehanort's Heartless.
"Wrong. The truth is... You just really stink." — to Xehanort's Heartless.
"Oh, I do. I used all the power you had to give and still lost to Sora. I'm not impressed." — before battling Xehanort's Heartless.
"Ansem! You're finished!" — to Xehanort's Heartless.
"I don't know if I can. It's still there. His scent...it's faint, but not gone. I can't go home until it is. His darkness may still have a hold on me..." — talking to Mickey at Castle Oblivion entrance.
"Wow, Your Majesty, I don't know what to say... Thanks." — to Mickey.
"What are you making me choose now?" — to DiZ.
"Neither. I'm taking the middle road." — to DiZ.
"No... The road to dawn." — during Reverse/Rebirth ending.

Reverse/Rebirth
"This seemed like a boring place to take a nap anyway." — resolving to investigate Castle Oblivion.
"A door to the truth, huh?"
"I thought it was you, Ansem." — after Ansem reveals himself.
"All you have been talking about is the darkness. I can only assume you wanna pull me back in... so you can play Puppet Master."
"Excuse me... for being weak."
"That's not gonna happen!"
"I won't lose to darkness. Not today."
"What, that all you got?"
"Don't worry, I'm not running. Give it. I'll enter the world and in the end, if I haven't given into the darkness... then I win."
"Something smells... funny... What's that scent? It's so familiar... Darkness. It's the smell of darkness. I can't believe this is happening. The darkness even seeped into my skin."
"Are you with Ansem?!"
"Riddles were never my thing. Try again."
"Like you said, there really is darkness left inside of me. But so what?! Darkness is my enemy! And so are you for reeking of that awful smell!"
"It was a trick all along."
"Huh? What are you supposed to be?" — confronting his replica.
"So you're a fake me."
"Are you... calling me a coward?"
"Hey, Fake! I thought I heard you say you were gonna wipe the floor with me."
"Then let's fight now!"
"No way. I'm not a coward."
"Come out! Show yourself, Fake!"
"What are you saying? Isn't he just a copy of me?"
"When have I been afraid of the dark?"
"Be quiet!"
"Just one card left. If I get through this, will I be free of the darkness?"
"That scent. You're another one of those Nobodies."
"I do not... fear it!" — denying Lexaeus's claims.
"You're finished!"
"Too slow."
"Lexeaus?!"
"Your Majesty!"
"You're with me, aren't you?"
"One of the scents has died— a really strong one." — noticing Marluxia's death.
"Keyblade... You mean Sora. Sora is here?" — realizing that Sora is inside the Castle.
"What's that mean?"
"This card. This is our..."
"Stop it, Sora! Don't you recognize me?!" — attacked by "Sora".
"You reek of darkness. Even the light can't block the smell." — explaining how he was able to recognize Zexion.
"I guess I followed the darkness right to you."
"I know who I am."
"Can't move."
"Your Majesty, it that you?"
"This time, you're not an illusion. I'm so glad that you could make it here."
"But how did you get here? I thought it was too far."
"Are you Naminé?"
"Sora! What have you done to Sora?" — upon seeing a sleeping Sora.
"So Sora chose to forget about this castle...and get his old memories back?"
"Why me, too? No one's messed with my memories."
"That's it. When this slacker wakes up, I'll tell him off. I told him to take care of Kairi, and here he is just taking a nap! But I can't chew him out like he deserves— if I've been asleep."
"I don't need my heart locked. I'm ready— I'm gonna fight Ansem."
"I knew when I met you. You and Kairi smell the same. Look after Sora."
"Ansem! Where are you? Show yourself!"
"I smell you Ansem. Show yourself!"
"Yeah, I know. Or did you forget? I used all the power you had to give-and Sora still beat me. I'm not at all impressed with your power."
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
"Your face... Who are you really? And why do you have a Keyblade?" — to Xion.
"To make sure my best friend...sleeps in peace. I don't know who you're supposed to be. But...you can't fight fire with sparks. This Keyblade, it's a sham—worthless." — to Xion.
"Find a new crowd. Trust me. Those guys are bad news." — to Xion.
"Fair enough. You could say I am...the biggest nobody of them all." — to Xion.
"You made me a promise." — talking to Naminé.
"You can't get the memories back out?" — talking about Sora's memories.
"So what's the solution?" — to Naminé.
"Riku. Sora's friend." — introducing himself to Xion.
"I guess...I just felt like it." — to Xion.
"You mean Kairi." — to Xion.
"To Sora, she's someone very special." — talking to Xion about Kairi.
"That secret stays with me." — to Xion about Sora's location.
"Xion...your memories...they really belong to Sora." — to Xion.
"When his memories were scattered, some of them...found their way inside you. Now, Sora has been put to sleep so that we can piece together his memory. Except..." — talking to Xion about Sora's memories.
"Yeah. You got it. But, if you go with me to Sora right now, we could give the memories inside you back to him." — to Xion.
"Nah. I guess...I'm just sad." — to Xion.
"Maybe...you should take some time and think about it. Figure out who really needs you more. And where you belong." — to Xion.
"Well, the answer you come up with can't just be right for you. It has to be one that works best for everybody. You and your friends and everyone else." — before leaving Xion.
"You want to go back?" — to Xion.
"Did you find the right answer?" — to Xion.
"Go to Twilight Town. You'll find a girl there by the name of Naminé." — talking to Xion about going to Naminé.
"You'll find out. I don't think you'll have much trouble tracking her down." — to Xion.
"Searching, for a way to conquer the darkness within me—while we wait for Sora to awaken." — to Mickey.
"You don't have to worry. I'm getting the hang of keeping the darkness under control." — talking to Mickey about his darkness.
"There's a reason the Organization has been quiet since our battle at Castle Oblivion—and it's not because we weakened their numbers. What they did to Sora back there—the point wasn't just to take his memory apart. They went out of their way to make it hard to put back together." — to Mickey.
"Exactly. They want Sora's memories...which means Naminé isn't the only one picking up the pieces. And as long as they've got their hands on Sora's most precious memories—the ones of Kairi—I don't think Sora will recover." — to Mickey.
"I've got that covered, Your Maj— I mean, Mickey. Maybe you could do me a favor, though." — to Mickey.
"I have to face one of the Organization's members soon. I might not survive the fight. And if I do, it might only be because I gave in to the darkness. That means you're the only one who will be there for Sora, Donald, and Goofy—the only one who can guide them when they awaken." — wanting to give a promise to Mickey.
"Promise me, Mickey. You have to be there for our friends." — to Mickey.
"What does it matter? I'm here for you." — to Roxas.
"Because I want back the rest of Sora's memories." — talking to Roxas.
"Do you have some kind of plan?" — to Roxas.
"Her? You mean Xion? It's a struggle just to remember the name now, isn't it? Either way, I can't let you go doing anything crazy." — to Roxas.
"If you try and make contact with Kingdom Hearts, the last thing you'll get is your life back. The Organization will destroy you." — before fighting Roxas.
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX
"Isn't there a way to bring back just Sora's memories?"
"Did you find the answer?"
"Go to Twilight Town. You'll find a girl there named Naminé."
"You'll find out. I don't think you'll have trouble finding her."
"I've been...searching for a way to conquer the darkness within me while we wait for Sora to awaken."
"You don't have to worry about me. I'm getting the hang of keeping the darkness under control."
"There's a reason the Organization's been quiet since our battle at Castle Oblivion. And now I know it's not because a depletion in members had made them weak. Taking Sora's memory apart piece by piece was only the first step in what they were trying to do at Castle Oblivion. And I think they needed more time to fix his memory."
"Right. Sora's memories are what they're after. And they needed all this time until now to absorb every piece of it. The process of putting his memory back together has gone nowhere... They have what's most precious to Sora...his memories of Kairi."
"I've got that covered, Your Maj— I mean, Mickey. Instead, I want to ask you for a favor."
"I have to face one of the Organization's members soon. I might not survive the fight. And if I do, it might be because I gave in to the darkness. That means you're the only one who will be there for Sora, Donald, and Goofy—the only one who can guide them when they awaken."
"Promise me, Mickey. When our friends wake up, you have to be there to help them out."
"You mean Xion? It's a struggle just to remember the name now... Either way, I can't let you go doing anything crazy."
Kingdom Hearts II
"Why!? Why do you have the Keyblade?" — to Roxas.
Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix
"Come on, Sora. I thought you were stronger than that." — to Roxas.
"So it's true. You really are his Nobody. Guess DiZ was right after all." — after Roxas' sudden outburst.
"All right. You've left me with no other choice. I have to release the power in my heart. The dark power that I've been holding back. Even...if it changes me forever." — before releasing his darkness and fighting Roxas once more.
"Have you forgotten? I'll tell you why. 'Cause I'm not a total sap like you." — talking to Sora.
"We must defeat Xemnas. He's the Organization's last survivor. C'mon." — talking about defeating Xemnas.
"It's because of who's lurking inside it." — talking to Xemnas.
"Sora, answer me!" — after Sora fights Xemnas.
"Once we go through, there's no turning back. It's victory...or oblivion. So, Sora...are you ready? Do you remember before? We stood facing each other on opposite sides of that door. Now we stand side-by-side. Let's go home together this time." — after the door appears.
"I had given in to the darkness." — after Xemnas vanishes.
"Don't worry. You're all still you." — after Roxas goes into Sora.
Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix
"Don't worry, we'll make that happen. Once this is over, you can thank her all you want." — talking to Sora about Naminé before the final battle.
Kingdom Hearts II
"You're right, light and darkness are eternal. Nothing probably goes on forever, too. But guess what, Xemnas?" — during the final battle with Xemnas.
"I wouldn't be too sure of that." — upon Xemnas' defeat.
"You know... I always figured I was better at stuff than you." — while he and Sora walks in nothingness.
"This world is perfect for me. If this is what the world really is...just this, then maybe I should fade back into darkness." — arriving in Dark Margin.
"If the world is made of light and darkness... We'll be the darkness." — to Sora at the Dark Margin.
"What I said back there...about thinking I was better at stuff than you... To tell you the truth, Sora... I was jealous of you." — talking to Sora about being jealous of him.
"Sora? I think it's for you." — before giving Sora Kairi's message.
"Yeah. It's always closer than you think." — talking about the Door to Light.
Kingdom Hearts coded
"I am like the Sora that stands with you. Strictly speaking, I am data in the form of Riku." — upon meeting Sora.
"But, because of these bugs, I could not complete the restoration. Out of all available memories, I was selected to be a vessel to hold them all together." — talking about himself.
"It's no use. The path connecting the data to reality has been taken away." — while typing.
"You must be at Olympus Colosseum... There should be corruption in that world, too. First, look for the keyhole." — talking to Sora in Olympus Coliseum.
"Because I wanted you to grow a little. "We must return to free them from their torment." To solve the mystery behind those words, this world needed a keyblade, and a wielder with power." — talking about the message.
"The worlds... I won't let you have them!" — talking to Maleficent.
"Sora! Don't come any closer! Argh...!" — upon him being transformed.
"Ugh... Defeat..." — before Sora battles him.
"To be precise, I'm the last of my consciousness, partitioned off from the rest of my data. It looks like the bugs inside me stole your power away from you. The bugs have already infiltrated this part of me. Take this and get out of here right away." — talking about himself.
"You should take care of your power, first. Leave the source of the bugs until you finish getting it back. The bugs are corrupting everything. Take care of yourself." — before Sora goes through the worlds in his memories.
"Sora! Thank you. I'll see you on the other side." — before Sora leaves his data.
"As promised, the path to the real world has opened. You can go home to the real world, Mickey." — talking to Mickey about going back to the real world.
"Can everybody hear me? It looks like you made it home safely." — upon Mickey and the others have come back from the real world.
"Right. Everything you recorded during the first journey is back. Everything else... will be reset. That means, everything we did to fight off the bugs... The memories that Sora and I made in this world of data... All of that will be erased." — talking about all the data.
"Yeah. I figured out the truth behind the bugs. This thing is the shadow of your existence... Sora, this is your Heartless." — talking about Sora's Heartless.
"No, they were devoured by this thing! This monster drew all the Heartless you defeated into Darkness. It devoured the Darkness data and it's trying to change itself into something new. Just like you did, getting stronger as you made your way on this journey." — before Sora faces his Heartless.
"I'm counting on you, Sora." — before disappearing before Sora.
"This world has been connected. Memory and reality now stand tied. And now it's time you learned the truth." — meeting Data-Sora in Wonderland.
"Sorry. Not quite. Much like Sora there. I'm just zero's and ones that look like somebody you know." — revealing himself to Data-Sora, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy.
"Memories used to fill Jiminy's Journal--but when they were pulled apart and then stitched back together, bugs appeared. It was these bugs... that kept the book from being completely restored. Of all the possible vessels to protect the data, I was chosen from the journal's pages. The full set of memories was transferred inside of me, to shield them from corruption. So, in a way, what I really am is Jiminy's journal." — revealing himself to Data-Sora, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy.
"Well, don't expect them to stay that way. One of the bugs interfering with the link is in Olympus Coliseum--I'm sure of it. And you know where it'll be hiding. Find the Keyhole. If my findings are right, that'll take you to the world's core. Get rid of whatever's harming the core and the rest of the bugs will be purged with it."
"Bug spray. Hang on, Sora. Did you know you have access privileges to worlds you've already debugged?"
"Basically, yes. Technically, no. You'd be accessing an emulated version of the world's data. The emulator gives you some degree of control over the data. For example, you could start the whole experience over from scratch."
"I know, why fight the same enemies again? But what if I told you you might find some new adversaries? You did a good job repairing the worlds, but there may still be bugs lurking in the system sectors."
"All right, that's your cue. Go save the world, hero."
"Right. Those scenes--they originated inside my mind. When you got rid of the bugs, you gave me deeper access to the memories associated with those worlds. The things I saw must have found their way back through the link and showed up on your monitor." — explaining the appearance of the images.
"Blank Points"
"Sora. Your mind's made up?" — asking Sora about the letter.
Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
"Am I in...Traverse Town? My clothes have changed. Sora, where are you?" — when Riku arrives in the Third District.
"I remember we fell overboard after Ursula attacked...and then I think we opened a Keyhole. So...this must be one of the Sleeping Worlds. My Keyblade--it just sort of...popped into my hand when I needed it most. Right. It's started." — looking upon the Third District and remembering what happened.
"Kn-knight? You've got the wrong idea." — reaction from Shiki's "flirting".
"Are you sure that's what's stopping you? Because I think something else is holding you back. Ask your heart, Quasimodo. I'll check the edge of town. Thanks." — after meeting Quasimodo.
"Wish I could take my own advice..." — while leaving the Cathedral, after talking to Quasimodo.
"Oh, like this is fair... No use, I gotta run for it."
"He won't listen. Once you've fallen that far, there's almost no coming back." — talking to Captain Pheobus while they're seeing Frollo use his darkness to command the Wargoyle Nightmare.
"You should take it easy. I'll deal with Frollo." — volunteering to go after Frollo and his monster.
"Quasimodo, where did the creature go?" — asking Quasimodo about the Wargoyle's location.
"Quasimodo, did your heart have the answer?" — asking Quasimodo if he found his answer.
"I guess... you three got this covered." — seeing Victor, Hugo, and Laverne defeat a Meow Wow Nightmare.
"I see a sad old man with a dark heart." — upon seeing Frollo marvel the flames on the city.
"You could write a book about that!" — responding to Ansem's rhetoric about darkness at the top of Notre Dame.
"You're Ansem! Why are you here?" — talking to Ansem, Seeker of Darkness.
"I walk the road to dawn!" — making his decision clear.
"He thinks I'm afraid of the dark?! No. Not while I have the Keyblade. It'll guide me to the light!" — thinking about Young Xehanort's words and the Keyblade.
"I know the road my heart walks." — as he thinks about Ansem (Master Xehanort's Heartless) before unlocking La Cite des Cloches' sleeping keyhole.
"That was my... my dark side. I gave in to the darkness once. And ever since, it's chased me around in one form or another. The Seeker of Darkness who stole my body... a puppet replica of the shadows in my heart... and now, I'm facing me." — explaining to Jiminy after meeting Dark Riku how his darkness keeps comes back to him.
"That stupid grin he's always wearing— he's the best teacher I could ever have." — answering Jiminy's question about having a friend to talk to whenever he has a problem he shouldn't have to face alone.
"What now? Is something in there? Pinocchio, Jiminy, you should head back. I'll see what's shaking things up." — upon hearing a loud roar coming from within Monstro.
"I thought I was only sent to the past on Destiny Islands. So why does it seem like time was rewound in this world too? Maybe it's like Master Yen Sid said: the world was freed from darkness but has yet to wake from it. It's trapped in a never ending dream." — remembering what Master Yen Sid said about time flow in the Sleeping Realm as he sees Pinocchio reunited with Geppetto before awakening Prankster's Paradise.
"My clothes... Is this world special? A Dream Eater? No... Let's see how this plays out." — upon entering The Grid.
"You gonna explain why it's so lucky?" — being given a Light Cycle rod.
"How hard can it be?" — before activating his Light Cycle.
"I think I've had enough entertainment for one day." — deciding to take his leave.
"Glad I get to fight more than boredom." — when Grid-type Nightmares pop up.
"So what happened... to your gift?" — asking Kevin Flynn about the ISOs.
"Look too hard for one thing, and you miss everything else. And then, the people around you get hurt in the process. Like Xehanort. His single-minded thirst for answers created Ansem. We all have a little of that curiosity within us... So if we're not careful, any one of us could create an Ansem." — analyzing Kevin Flynn's situation with Master Xehanort's.
"If this is a father-son thing, I won't butt in. But we should probably get back that disc back at least— before CLU uses it to destroy the outside world." — deciding what should be best for the team to do.
"You can leave this one to me." — deciding to go up against the Commantis Nightmare.
"Don't even think about it!" — preventing CLU from getting to the Portal.
"These gates that connect worlds— maybe when we pass through them, we're challenged and changed. And it's not over. There are still more challenges that we have to overcome. But we'll be ready, Sora." — before unlocking The Grid's sleeping keyhole.
"So time flows differently here and there? So what? That's true to any two worlds. Their home world would be flowing on a different time axis, too." — analyzing how time flows in the two sleeping Traverse Towns.
"You mean there's a past... and a future?" — when Joshua says the two Traverse Town are not parallel worlds.
"Beat, what happened to your Dream Eaters?" — realizing Beat's Spirits are gone.
"Sorry, it's just... you two are cut from the same cloth." — after laughing at how Beat and Rhyme argue.
"Yeah. He's come through for me, so I know what you mean." — describing Beat's personality.
"All right, now we ruffled its feathers. Ready to do this?" — once the Spellican is annoyed by their good humor.
"Isn't that Pete? What kind of world did I end up in this time? Well, one thing's for sure: that guy adds up to trouble in any world." — when he sees Pete looking out in front of the Opera House entrance and wonders where he is and what he's up to.
"Is that suppose to be Mickey and the others? Yeesh. Those three are together even when they're made out of wood." —upon seeing the Beagle Boys carrying wooden cutouts of Mickey, Donald and Goofy in Country of the Musketeers.
"How do you like that?"
"Looks like I was right in the nick of time...Sora."
"Musketeer? What is that, anyway?"
"They...they actually say that?"
"You're right. And it does fit the moment."
"All for one...and one for all."
"If brute force won't work, tell me what will."
"I'll try. Leave it to me."
"You waiting for me?"
"Maybe so. But I'm here to change all of that."
"If you're feeling so chatty, let's skip to where you reveal what this is all about."
"Sora can find the brightest part of anything, and pull off miracles like there's nothing to it. It's pretty hard not to smile around him."
"Where am I now? Why am I here? I unlocked all seven Keyholes--so I should be back in the world I came from."
"Is that... Sora? Sora! Don't! You've gotta wake up! Sora!"
"Are you what's trapping him in that nightmare? 'Cause if you are... I'm what nightmares fear!"
"Sora, don't chase the dreams. They'll lead you nowhere, just to an abyss you'll never be able to wake up from." — when trying to awake Sora in The World That Never Was.
"What? What's going on in Sora's world? Why won't he open his eyes? Is he still in the nightmare?"
"Sora would never give in to the darkness!"
"Me? I'm a Dream Eater?"
"Ansem. Or...Xehanort. You used to be a Keyblade wielder. But darkness stole your heart, and the Keyblade with it. Don't you see? That's half the reason I'm even on this journey. After allowing darkness into my heart, am I still fit to wield the Keyblade?" — explaining to Ansem why he decided to take the Mark of Mastery exam.
"After allowing darkness into my heart, am I still fit to wield the Keyblade? Even after locking you away, here you are, haunting me again. So I get it now. There's no point in trying to hold the darkness back."
"You know...when I look at you...there's this memory that flashes back. A secret I said I'd keep when I was little. The main reason I kept dreaming about the outside world...was 'cause of him." — explaining to Ansem why he dreamed about leaving the islands.
"My journey begins here and now. I'm going back to the real world, and then to Sora's side." — deciding what he will do next to get to Sora.
"I know the way. Consume the darkness, return it to light." — When asked by Ansem if he knows the way to save Sora.
"Ansem! You're part of my heart now. Part of the light!" — Before the second battle with Ansem.
"Strength, to protect what matters." — after defeating Ansem.
"This place... Did I finally make out of the dream?" — as he appears in front of Memory's Skyscraper.
"Sora and I have been split up since the start of our journey, because Ansem - no, because Xehanort planned it. And that means we're a long way off course from the Mark of Mastery exam Yen Sid gave us." — analyzing the situation of Master Xehanort's plan and the Mark of Mastery Exam.
"All right, Sora has gotta be here...somewhere." — deciding to go look for Sora as he heads to the Brink of Despair.
"End of the road, huh? I know I'm back in the real world, but I still have my Dream Eater powers. Which means...he still hasn't woken up. Where are you, Sora?" — upon reaching the Brink of Despair.
"A Dream Eater! Is that where Sora is? How do I get across?" — upon seeing Sora's Meow Wow.
"Right. I get it." — petting his Komory Bat for coming up with an excellent idea with Sora's Meow Wow.
"But you failed. Sora stopped you in your tracks on both counts." — reminding Master Xehanort of how Sora foiled his plans.
"Why are you here, Axel?"
"Mickey... I really appreciate it. But...I'll go wake Sora up. Look at his face. Sleeping like nothing's wrong—like there's nothing to even worry about. (Sighs) He's always been like that. The three of us would agree to work on the raft, and then this guy would go take a nap on the beach. You see, it's my job to keep him on his toes. Besides, what kind of Keyblade Master sleeps through his test? I'm doing it for me, too. Sora saved me once. And...I heard him call my name. He needs me." — watching Sora sleep after rescuing him from The World That Never Was with Mickey, Goofy, Donald, and Lea.
"Guys, thank you. Sora and I will be back soon." — before departing for Sora's dreams again.
"I'll find you, Sora."
"DiZ! I mean... Ansem the Wise. What are you doing here?"
"Uh...I kinda need to wake Sora up."
"You mean...the Sora wrapped in that black phantom?"
"Wait, haven't we got this backwards? And why are you having a tea party?"
"Really? I'm a Keyblade Master?"
"Master Yen Sid. I brought you the guest you asked for, but... you never said why." — upon bringing an unexpected visitor to Yen Sid's chamber.
Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth By Sleep: -A fragmentary passage-
"She sacrificed herself to save me? Why did you keep it from me for so long?" — asking Mickey why he kept Aqua's fate a secret.
"What about us? You could've given us a choice. We could have gone and helped her." — talking to Mickey about helping Aqua.
"Why keep it secret?" — talking to Yen Sid.
"Yeah! Count me in!" — volunteering to help Mickey find Aqua.
"New me?" — talking to Kairi.
"Should I be flattered? I try too hard to be the role model. It's more fun to just listen to my heart. Which is Sora-esque." — describing his new personality.
"Thank you, Master." — when Yen Sid gives Mickey and Riku new clothes.
Kingdom Hearts III
"No, just... I've been here. I should know this place. But that all seems like another life." — to Mickey in the Dark World.
"I remember my first time here. I was so scared. But now, my doubts and fears are gone. If anything, I feel exhilarated. And it's not because there's darkness in me—I know too well what that rush is like. This is different. And it's not adrenaline either. I know Aqua needs us...but I'm ready. I'm in control now. Maybe it's because you're with me this time." — to Mickey.
"Is that it? "Strength to protect what matters"... It reminds me of a promise I made." — to Mickey.
"Yeah... While we're reminiscing—Mickey, does any of this look familiar?" — to Mickey.
"I've been here, too. With Sora. This is where we found our way back to the realm of light. Hey, maybe Aqua did, too!" — to Mickey at the Dark Margin.
"Because somebody needs me." — to Riku Replica.
"But Aqua's...still down here, alone. Facing enemies like that. What if she's feeling as scared and alone...as I felt the first time I came here? How long are we supposed to keep her waiting in this awful place?" — to Mickey.
"Okay... Good. Then I guess she's gonna be all right. Sora could fall into any darkness and swim his way out." — to Mickey.
"Right. Can't use this Keyblade anymore. Might as well leave it here...for the other me." — leaving the broken Way to the Dawn to Riku Replica.
"We know Master Aqua made it as far as the beach that Sora and I once visited, but that's where her trail ends." — to Sora and the others.
"No. Sora was dragged into the abyss during his exam. And I went in after him. So, I think if we find someone who was really close to Aqua, and they make the dive, they could reach her down there." — to Sora and the others.
"So Aqua—she's gonna be the key to finding all three." — about Aqua, Ventus, and Terra.
"Where Aqua fell into the realm of darkness after she dove in to save Terra." — to Mickey at Radiant Garden.
"Right. And in the aftermath, the two of them disappeared. Around the same time, the guards found a stranger with white hair lying unconscious here in the square—a man calling himself "Xehanort."" — to Mickey about Terra-Xehanort.
"Until we put an end to the Organization. But all the while Young Xehanort had been visiting the future to choose thirteen vessels of his own—hearts with strong enough ties to him to begin a new Organization, the real Organization XIII. And now they're looking for a fight with us. But what happened to Terra? I thought you said that Aqua saved him." — to Mickey.
"No way! That was Terra? Master Xehanort was using Terra?" — to Mickey about Terra-Xehanort.
"Okay, but Master Xehanort is an old man again now. Where did Terra's body go?" — to Mickey.
"He's with Organization XIII? We should warn Sora." — to Mickey about Terra.
"Replicas... Well, replicas are basically human." — to Sora.
"Oh, yeah... You wouldn't remember. The previous Organization XIII developed "replicas": realistic vessels to place hearts in. They're so real, in fact, that you'd actually mistake them for people. And with hearts, the replicas will become people." — to Sora.
"Yup. The replica takes the form of the heart inside it." — to Sora.
"Nope, that's their best quality." — to Mickey about Sora, Donald, and Goofy.
"But not everyone's. What if Even was taken?" — to Ienzo and Mickey.
"To fill out their ranks." — about the Organization.
"Maybe, except Aqua's the only who knows where he's hidden. We still have to find her first." — about Aqua and Ventus.
"Sorry. Master Yen Sid knows you a little too well. He said you'd try to stage a half-baked rescue." — to Sora.
"Sora, I know you're volunteering because you're worried—about me and Mickey. Well, thanks. But, the power of waking's important. You can come to the rescue once you've got that. Sound fair?" — to Sora.
"There's no need. Got my own." — to Anti-Aqua about her misery and despair.
"You're in the realm of light." — to Aqua.
"Mickey told me that you saved me in the realm of darkness. I should have gone to help you right away. But I was too inexperienced. I'm sorry. I know that I let you down." — to Aqua.
"Since when do you mope, Sora? Come on. Terra's gotta be with the Organization. Which means we'll have a chance to save him." — to Sora.
"You did save me. I think you came along for a reason." — to Riku Replica.
"Take the time you need." — to Riku Replica.
"Pull it together, Sora! We haven't lost them. They still have their hearts. But we have to protect them." — to Sora.
"Sora, you don't believe that. I know you don't." — to Sora.
"Wrong. My hour of weakness." — to Dark Riku.

Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind
"Thanks. I finally fulfilled my promise to you." — to Terra.
"But we've been searching everywhere for Sora, and we haven't found a single clue. If he's really out there, don't you think we would have found something by now?" — to the Radiant Garden Reconstruction Committee.
"Well...it's outside their field of expertise." — to Leon about Ansem the Wise and his apprentices.
"Well, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy are searching for clues in every past world that Sora's been to. Terra, Ven, and Aqua went to the realm of darkness. And the Twilight Town gang are studying Roxas and Xion's memories." — to the Radiant Garden Reconstruction Committee.
"Kairi... She believes her heart might hold a clue about Sora. For a year, she's been sound asleep while they search her heart." — to the Radiant Garden Reconstruction Committee.
"Huh? My...dreams? There's one... It was dark...and I was surrounded by tall buildings. I was looking around for Sora, when I felt someone watching me from way up high. And that's all I remember." — to the Fairy Godmother.
Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory

"Well, actually I found some info about Sora." — to Kairi.
"She came here at Yen Sid's request. He said she's got a clue that might help us find Sora." — about the Fairy Godmother.
"Oh, well since Sora disappeared, I've been having dreams about a large city with tall buildings. Apparently, that's the clue." — to Kairi and the others.
"Um, so she's the final key?" — to the Fairy Godmother about the Nameless Star.
"I want to help make that happen. Will it lead us to Sora?" — to the Fairy Godmother.
"Yeah. Sora disappeared. He's a good friend of ours, so we've been looking for him. Right now, we think he's in a big city full of tall buildings. Ring any bells?" — to the Nameless Star.
"Quadratum... Is that where Sora is?" — to the Fairy Godmother.
