After rejoining with Sora's heart, Roxas ceased to exist.Thanks to a replica that was able to contain his heart and memories, Roxas became real again and joined the guardians of light.' What are you talking about? Nobody else!' —Roxas to RikuRoxas, the Key of Destiny ( めぐりあう鍵, Meguriau Kagi, lit. 'Serendipitous Key'), is the of and was Rank XIII within the original, born when Sora took his own to restore 's. Although Sora's heart was soon restored, Roxas continued to endure and exist, oblivious of Sora's existence for most of his life. He has the ability to use the, and wields, using it to direct rays that strike opponents with great power.
He commands the Nobodies.Roxas was also one of the mysterious hooded figures in and Deep Dive. During the prologue of, the player controls Roxas until is awakened. In, Roxas is the primary protagonist. This game focuses on the time period between Roxas's birth and his departure from the Organization, eventually leading to his capture at the hands of.
Sora releases his heart with the Keyblade of heart to free Kairi's, resulting in his Nobody being formed.Roxas is born when Sora stabs himself with the, forged from the hearts of six of the seven, in order to free Kairi's heart at the cost of his own. However, Sora spends little time as a, as Kairi's light fetches Sora's heart from the, restoring him to his former self shortly after he becomes a Heartless.While Nobodies are normally destroyed along with their Heartless counterparts to restore a complete being, Roxas was able to co-exist with Sora thanks to the unique method that restored him to a complete being. However, as a downside, Roxas lacked any conscious memory of his time as Sora (as the strength of Sora's heart allowed him to retain his memories as a Heartless), though Roxas would reflexively respond to things Sora would. At the time of Roxas's creation, Sora also held 's heart within his own and remained with Sora's and when it became a Nobody, resulting in Roxas taking on Ventus's features instead of Sora's. Xemnas performs the Organization naming ceremony on Roxas.Roxas comes into being, dazed and confused, in, where he is found by, who gives him his new name, while Xemnas hides his. Shortly afterwards, he meets, who, after they see, and walking through the town, takes Roxas to eat on the clock tower. Axel takes a liking to Roxas, and with nowhere else to go, Roxas joins the Organization in hopes of finding the answers he needs.
For the next week or so, Axel notices that Roxas is still very dazed and almost zombie-like, unable to speak much or form a coherent sentence. Roxas is given a room in Organization XIII's in, as well as his own high seat. Xemnas consults Roxas at the Dark Margin after his battle against Sora.Six days after coming into being, Roxas and Xemnas meet at the, where they talk. Xemnas reveals that he had been to see Sora, as Xemnas had encountered him at. Xemnas comments that Roxas looks a lot like Sora. Roxas asks Xemnas who he is but Xemnas's reply is vague. Roxas tells Xemnas he was asking for Xemnas's name but he replies it is unimportant.
Xemnas redirects the question back at Roxas and Roxas answers, 'My true name. Xemnas whispered 'Sora' to him before walking away.On Roxas's seventh day, Xemnas places Roxas under Axel's watch, and the two soon become best friends. Also on this day, Xemnas introduces, the newest member of the Organization and a girl about the same physical age as him.During his frequent visits to Twilight Town, Roxas observes three regular kids, Hayner, Pence, and Olette, and wishes to befriend them, and he even has some conversations with them.When Axel is sent to to interfere in 's plans to control Sora and overthrow the Organization, Roxas is placed in charge of Xion. Though emotionally distant at first, Xion soon opens up to Roxas, revealing her face and the ability to wield the Keyblade, and the two become close friends. The next day he learned that one of the members assigned to Castle Oblivion has been eliminated, this news greatly upsets Roxas fearing Axel may be gone for good.
Roxas suddenly falls into a coma for several weeks, linked to Sora being placed in suspended animation. After awakening, Roxas continues his missions and eventually reunites with Axel and Xion and the trio became good friends. Roxas wondering who else he will spend time with as Xion returns to Sora.Knowing that Roxas would not be able to eliminate her, Xion forces Roxas to fight her instead. Xion transforms into a giant armored monster, and attacks Roxas. After a long and grueling battle, Roxas defeats Xion, who regains her original appearance before fading away. Roxas loses all of his memories of Xion after the battle.
In her final moments, Xion informs Roxas of the true motives of the Organization, and tells him that she is glad they had been friends. As a dying wish, she pleads with Roxas not to let Xemnas acquire the power Kingdom Hearts.
At this moment, Roxas suddenly remembers Xion and wonders out loud who else he will have ice cream with. He weeps as Xion's body crystallizes and disappears, leaving behind a single.After Xion's demise, Roxas awakens Ventus's Keyblade, allowing him to dual-wield Keyblades which quickly transform into the. Xion's absorption into Roxas, along with the knowledge of Xemnas's true plans, only further strengthens Roxas's determination to find Sora and the answers that he seeks.Struck with grief, Roxas returns to The World That Never Was, planning to 'set Kingdom Hearts free', in compliance to Xion's last words. He also desires to save Xion from within him, hoping that freeing Kingdom Hearts would bring her back. Then, they could go back to Axel and all have ice cream together. Upon his arrival, Roxas is attacked at by countless Heartless, which surround him. Roxas draws out his Keyblades, ready to defend himself, However, even after slaying many Heartless, he realizes there are too many to fight alone.Luckily, Riku suddenly appears at the scene on top of the Skyscraper, and Roxas, influenced by Xion, throws his Oblivion Keyblade at him as he runs up.
Riku manages to catch it, however, and they both defeat the Neoshadows once on the ground. After the dark remains clear, they immediately turn on each other. Roxas beats Riku at first, but Riku taunts him by calling him 'Sora' and saying that he should be 'stronger than this', causing Roxas to reflexively answer with, 'Get real. Look which one of us is winning!' , something that only Sora would say. Roxas captured by Riku-Ansem.Realizing he cannot beat Roxas on his own, Riku willingly unleashes his inner darkness and takes on the physical appearance of. Riku-Ansem disappears and reappears in front of Roxas, surprising him, before the Guardian grabs him and squeezes him hard, making him lose consciousness.
While being squeezed, Roxas begins to forget his final memories of Xion's existence and his memories of past events with Xion are changed due to her erasure. DiZ arrives and pities Roxas, affirming his belief that a Nobody can not feel anything. Riku-Ansem says things might have turned out different if Roxas had met Sora. Xion's voice is heard telling Roxas not to be sad and how she, him and Sora will connect each other.DiZ aims to join Sora and Roxas together in order to help Sora wake up faster after regaining his memories.
However, he knows the Organization is hunting fervently for their missing member, so DiZ places him in a virtual Twilight Town. There, Roxas would be kept safely away from the Organization while he lived as a normal boy, unaware of his past. His memories of his life with Organization XIII forgotten and replaced with altered ones, Roxas is seen in the virtual Twilight Town, hoping that perhaps today, he can finally go to the beach with Hayner, Pence and Olette. Roxas battles Axel.Roxas then meets with Axel one last time, but despite the fact that Roxas has regained his memories, Axel states that it is too late. The two battle once more, but this time Roxas is able to call on all of his dormant abilities, including summoning his two weapons: Oathkeeper and Oblivion, and soundly defeats his old friend, though with great regret. Roxas hopes that they will meet again, though Axel chuckles and responds that only Roxas has a next life.
Axel then retreats into the darkness, failing in his mission to capture or kill Roxas.Roxas then enters the pod room where Sora is kept, but not before seeing and slumbering in their own pods. DiZ is there to greet him, revealing his intentions and fueling Roxas's rage with cutting remarks about Roxas's purpose and nature.
In a blind rage, Roxas tries to cut down DiZ, but sees that this DiZ is only a hologram; even after this, Roxas continues to attack DiZ. Roxas returns to Sora.DiZ vanishes, and the pod in the center of the room opens. Roxas's anger drains away when he sees Sora slumbering in the pod.
Sadly smiling, he says to Sora, 'You're lucky. Looks like my summer vacation is. With those words, Roxas respectfully accepts his fate and rejoins with his original self. Sora hears Roxas call out to him, and wonders who it is before hearing Donald and Goofy do the same and waking up.Though he does not actually appear to Sora throughout most of the game, Roxas is frequently mentioned. Most of the Organization members act as if Sora is Roxas and refer to him as such, which both frustrates and confuses Sora.
Roxas himself manages to maintain a presence within Sora despite 'resting'. The first time this is hinted at is when Sora departs from Twilight Town for the first time, saying goodbye to Hayner, Pence, and Olette.To his surprise, a tear rolls down his cheek, expressing Roxas's own sadness in separating from his own friends, and feels strangely sad to be leaving Twilight Town. During the visit to Yen Sid's tower Sora remarks that he, Donald, Goofy, Riku, and King Mickey are all fighting, and includes Roxas instinctively in that list. Sora instinctively knows how to ride a, and is shown to be very skilled in doing so; presumably, this is an ability passed down from Roxas.During Sora's next visit to Twilight Town, Roxas's presence within Sora is again apparent. As Sora looks through the crystal orb and at the orange sun, he subconsciously feels Roxas truly within him, and briefly takes on Roxas's appearance as he does so (at least to the player).
Then, during Sora, Donald, and Goofy's brief stay in the Realm of Darkness after the, Riku leaves two clues for them, one of which is a picture from the digital Twilight Town which shows Roxas, Hayner, Pence, and Olette standing in front of the abandoned mansion at Twilight Town.Despite Sora having never seen or met Roxas before, he immediately recognizes his name. When Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Mickey enter the digital Twilight Town, Sora calls it 'Roxas's Twilight Town', and sees a memory of Roxas destroying the computers. When Sora and his friends arrive at Betwixt and Between, they are overtaken by a swarm of Nobodies, but Axel jumps in and blows them away with a kamikaze attack. As he fades away, he apologizes for hurting Sora's friends in his quest to retrieve Roxas. The Organization, observing from their castle, deduces that Axel has managed to connect with Sora's heart, rousing Roxas. Roxas shares his memories and emotional pain with Sora.Before awakens in Ansem's computer room, he has a dream of Roxas and Axel eating sea-salt ice cream on the clock tower. Roxas reminds Axel of the promise he made to always bring his friends back, imitating his catchphrase 'Got it memorized?'
.Roxas later appears before Sora in his dreams in The World That Never Was. He tells Sora that 'it has to be you', even as Sora says that Roxas deserves to be his own person. Roxas shows Sora his memories, making him feel his pain, before fading.When Sora confronts Xigbar and Xemnas, declaring that his friends are his power, Xigbar sees an image of Roxas behind him, along with many others that are connected to Sora.Later on, inside Where Nothing Gathers, cites Roxas as one of the second Organization XIII's intended vessels for, although this became impossible when Roxas developed his own personality and merged with Sora.After Riku dives into Sora's heart and defeats the, he appears in a memory of the Destiny Islands. He encounters Roxas, who asks him what he is afraid of, then disappears.Kingdom Hearts III With the intent of returning the Seven Guardians of Light, Sora reaches Twilight Town hoping to find a way to bring Roxas back. With the help of Ienzo and Pence, Sora's initial plan was to simply reconstruct Roxas with the data Ansem the Wise used to put him in the virtual Twilight Town.
However, after being guilt-pressured by Xemnas and, his plan changes to fully restoring Roxas to life.After asking Riku if this is plausible, Riku remembers the Organization's replica program and believes it to be a way for Roxas to return should he have a vessel. Unfortunately, this plan becomes unlikely due to 's absence.While venturing across space in the, Sora and company are contacted by with some news. He had deciphered part of and discovered that Sora has three unique hearts within his body aside from his own. They all agree one of them is Roxas and, based on their encounter with, the second one could be. Unfortunately, none of them can figure out the identity of the third heart belonging to.Upon Even's return as Vexen, he creates a replica vessel for Roxas on Ansem the Wise's request and has deliver it to in Radiant Garden. Roxas and the other guardians try to hold off Kingdom Hearts' powers.However, the, which Sora had just fought, emerge from Kingdom Hearts and pull the guardians into the sky where they are cornered by them. The guardians manage to triumph over the Replicas but end up getting sucked up into the multiple keyholes created from Kingdom Hearts.Despite this, future Sora manages to free Roxas and the others by connecting their bonds, allowing them to play a part in fully restoring Kairi to normal.
Once Sora and Kairi defeat the Armored Xehanort from the alternate timeline, the Guardians of Light all rejoin at the battlefield to finish off Xehanort. Everyone aims their Keyblades at Xehanort and fire off a large beam of light that manages to pierce Xehanort, destroying him for good. Once the battle is over, the heroes all travel to where Sora's heart is located, which is Scala ad Caelum.After Xehanort's defeat in, Roxas and the others join Sora in time to witness Xehanort surrender the to Sora before perishing with.
Sora uses the χ-blade to shut Kingdom Hearts, and everybody returns to the Keyblade Graveyard. The trio sit together on the Clock Tower once more.After Sora leaves to look for Kairi, Roxas and Lea return to Twilight Town at the tower, where they are joined by Xion, Isa, Hayner, Pence, and Olette. Riku arrives in the and takes them to the Destiny Islands for a party celebrating their victory over Xehanort, allowing Roxas to finally go to the beach with his friends. The group looks on as Sora and Kairi watch a final sunset together just before Sora fades away.After one year passes by since Xehanort's defeat, the Twilight Town crew are revealed to studying Roxas and Xion's memories in hopes of finding the whereabouts of the missing Sora. Roxas in his Twilight Town attire.Roxas looks identical to, due to Ventus's heart having been within Sora's heart when Roxas was created. He has bright blue eyes and golden blond hair.
His hair is spiky, as the front concentrates the spikes on the right side of his head as if windswept, while the back is smoother and flakier.When in Organization XIII, Roxas wore the usual all-black uniform, with a number of small differences. His pants were different, looking more casual, and loose. He also did not tuck the legs of his pants into his boots like the other members did, though Roxas's 'boots' more resembled black versions of his street shoes, and may not have been knee-high like the other members'. Roxas's cloak had a vague resemblance to the ones worn by and, with slightly pointed shoulders and slightly close-fitting sleeves.While living in the false Twilight Town, Roxas wore much more casual clothes. He wore a black, high-collared jacket with a zipper resembling the Nobody symbol. Over this, he wore another jacket, this one unzipped and white, with several black block designs and a grey hem on the end of each sleeve.
This jacket's collar was red and pleated and folded back. Roxas also wore two-colored pants; the legs of his pants were beige with several of what looked like buttons on the hem that appeared to attach the legs to the rest of the cloth, which are dark-colored. Roxas's shoes were colored in shades of grey and black and had red straps in place of laces. Finally, Roxas wore a wrist band with a black-and-white checkerboard pattern on his left wrist, as well as a plain black ring on his left index finger and a plain white ring on his left middle finger. Tetsuya Nomura has stated that the checkers on Roxas's clothing are meant to symbolize light and darkness.He also has clothes for sleeping in the simulated Twilight Town. He wears a white shirt with black coloration for the collar and arms. The arms also support a half star motifs.
He also wears matching black shorts with a skull and crossbones symbol on the lower left side of the pants. The skull has 'X' in one eye and a 'III' in the other, making it resemble the number XIII.In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Roxas's face was changed to be slightly wider, with his cheekbones less defined and sullen, in order to make his design more closely resemble Ventus's.In the cinematic cutscenes of Kingdom Hearts III, Roxas is shown to have darker hair than Ventus. Main article:Since Roxas's complete being's heart is made up of two Keyblade wielders' hearts, Roxas can dual-wield Keyblades, the and the. In battle, he also uses light, becoming a phenomenally dangerous foe. His style and level of power is somewhat like Sora's. He can glide at fast speeds, so fast in fact that he leaves behind a lens flare, and control thirteen sword-shaped shields of light energy which can connect to form a laser array. He can levitate his Keyblades in the air and whirl and spin them rapidly, showing a great deal of proficiency and skill with the blades, and can also counter any extended combo with a more powerful one of his own, even creating a ring of damage just by twirling them in a circle.His special attack involves him floating in the air and shooting his thirteen light shields around the arena, which then light it up in a thick twilight mist as Roxas begins shooting blue spheres of light at his opponent from energy gathered in his hands.
He often attacks rapidly side-to-side, leaving a trail of light behind him. He can also perform the Duel Bout technique (similar to his Samurai Nobodies) in which he rushes at his opponent and slashes at them repeatedly, causing intense damage if not repelled. During this attack, Sora can knock Roxas into the air and briefly steal his Keyblades. However, when Sora steals Roxas's Keyblades, Roxas resorts to utilizing his light powers to full effect, before moving in to steal his Keyblades back from Sora.In comparison to Sora, Roxas seems to have a far more aggressive style: he is constantly on the offensive and abandons any defensive moves he had previously used, such as the technique and magic, in favor of speed and strength. In their mental struggle in the, he briefly manages to overpower and disarm Sora with simple brute force. In this battle, he also has a more aggressive stance than he did when fighting Axel.It is interesting to note that as well, when not dual-wielding, Roxas uses a fighting style similar to the one Sora used in Kingdom Hearts. Roxas's victory pose in Olympus Coliseum is to swing his Keyblade twice through the air in an X, then swing it to rest on his shoulder.
This is extremely similar to 's victory pose in the Final Fantasy series and one of Sora's victory poses in the in Kingdom Hearts.Like Xion and Sora, Roxas has balanced, average stats in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.It's worth noting Roxas has overpowered Saix on two separate occasions. The first time in 358/2 Days before Roxas could dual wield, and the second in Kingdom Hearts III, where Roxas (dual wielding) does the most damage to Saix compared to Sora and Xion; Saix had previously overpowered Sora, Kairi, and Lea.Weapons When in possession of his full power, Roxas dual-wields two Keyblades, Oathkeeper and Oblivion (which represent Sora's link to Kairi and Riku, respectively), although originally he could only wield a single Keyblade, which could take different forms through the use of. However, during the short period in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days between his attaining the ability to dual-wield and reaching his full power, he could dual-wield two Kingdom Keys. Roxas controls light and the Samurai Nobodies.
Although it would normally be impossible for a Nobody to wield a Keyblade, Roxas can because Sora can. Of course, as the Heartless use the Keyblades as a homing signal, he is constantly under attack by them when not under the protection of Organization XIII. However, as the Organization's goal is to gather as many hearts as possible by using the Keyblade to extract them from Heartless, this phenomenon is actually a boon for the Organization. Roxas's signature Keyblades, theAbilities In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Roxas's Limit Break is called.
It transforms Roxas's Keyblade into a sword of light, with which he rapidly slashes at enemies. The Final Limit causes him to summon pillars of light which fire in all directions.When Dual-Wielding, Roxas has another Limit Break, called. It causes Roxas to leap into the air and summon large pillars of light to hammer the battlefield.
In the Final Limit, the pillars of light intensify and grow larger. This attack also appears in Roxas's fight in Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. Also, in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, after Roxas floats, a symbol appears below him and he spins both of his Keyblades while firing a great number of homing light orbs.Roxas's Limit Breaks both refer to light. The ' refers to the distance at which light can no longer escape from a black hole; the ' is a period of time during a sunset that has extremely favorable conditions for photography.Roxas learns a variety of abilities in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, including, and, among others. He also is very proficient at magic, able to cast several different spells.
However, none of these abilities carry over into Kingdom Hearts II. During his time in the Simulated Twilight Town, Roxas learns no magic, although he can boost his magical strength via both the and the.
