At a later time in his room, Demyx was fixing his hair in front of the mirror, compelled by something he had done when he was human.

Demyx is present when [[Xion]] joins the Organization. [[Axel]] and Roxas often tease Demyx behind his back while eating [[sea-salt ice cream]] at Station Plaza after missions, quoting how he doesn't have talent, would be "upset" if he lost his sitar, and many other things. Demyx is the first to mention the annihilation of Organization members at [[Castle Oblivion]]. Demyx accompanies Roxas on several missions, including one to [[Olympus Coliseum]], where they take down a [[Flare Note]], and one to [[Halloween Town]], where they tackle a [[Dual Blade]]. | Demyx is present when [[Xion]] joins the Organization.

Some missions have Demyx accompany Roxas to Olympus Coliseum. He tricks Roxas into thinking he'll handle Heartless outside the colosseum, while the gullible boy undergoes training with [[Phil]]. He hides out when [[Guard Armor]] interupts the Games. | |||
Demyx enjoys picking on Xion with [[Xigbar]], and is seen playing his sitar on one of the couches in the Grey Area before many of Roxas's missions. When Roxas approaches Demyx, he willingly admits that he "isn't cut out for combat" and would rather perform recon. He is shocked to learn of Xion's true nature when [[Xemnas]] describes the [[Replica Program]] to the Organization. | Demyx enjoys picking on Xion with [[Xigbar]], and is seen playing his sitar on one of the couches in the Grey Area before many of Roxas's missions.

Demyx appears alongside [[Xemnas]], [[Saïx]], [[Xigbar]], [[Luxord]], and [[Xaldin]] at [[Hollow Bastion]], and laughs emptily with the rest of the group at Xemnas's empty humor at Sora's expense. Upon the Organization's return from Hollow Bastion, he suggests to let Sora carry out his adventures and that they will take action at the right time. Xigbar pretends to interpret Demyx's suggestion as him volunteering, while Demyx responds by acting flustered at this imposition. Xaldin chides both of them for acting as if they have emotions, then Xemnas interrupts all three of them by instructing the Organization to create powerful Heartless for Sora to slay. | Demyx appears alongside [[Xemnas]], [[Saïx]], [[Xigbar]], [[Luxord]], and [[Xaldin]] at [[Hollow Bastion]], and laughs emptily with the rest of the group at Xemnas's empty humor at Sora's expense.

After having returned to his human form, the [[real Organization XIII]] recreated him as the Nobody Demyx and re-inducted him into the Organization. However, his spot was taken by one of [[Vexen]]'s [[replica]]s and he was reduced to a reserve member.<!--cite to ultimania that Demyx was already benched as of TWTNW in KH3D--> | |||

Following [[Larxene]] confirming two of the [[New Seven Hearts]] are in [[Arendelle]], Demyx meets with Luxord, [[Marluxia]], and [[Larxene]] in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], where he complains about having been benched.

Demyx is portrayed as being weak, cowardly, and lazy, but proves to be no pushover in the battle with Sora. He can be a formidable foe due to his ability to summon water clones that must be defeated within a time limit. Demyx, being a musician, uses music to control the water around him and to summon "water forms", objects shaped out of water into musical notes or copies of himself, which move about the battle area to hit Sora, forcing him to defeat the forms in a certain amount of time to avoid an automatic loss. Demyx can also summon violent geysers to erupt from the ground, forming strong streams of water which damage Sora and throw him into the air. His sitar is rarely used as a weapon but is most often used to play his music instead. | Demyx is portrayed as being weak, cowardly, and lazy, but proves to be no pushover in the battle with Sora.

Demyx does little fighting by himself, instead of relying on his control of water to make it fight for him. | ||
In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Demyx has a Limit Break called [[Wave Gigs]], which causes him to play his sitar to summon water pillars and, in his Final Limit, release exploding balls of water. | In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Demyx has a Limit Break called [[Wave Gigs]], which causes him to play his sitar to summon water pillars and, in his Final Limit, release exploding balls of water. | ||

{{ | *{{w|Collective Brands|Airwalk}} produces a shoe model named Demyx (one likely focused towards women with its design), and another named Roxas. | ||
<!-- move to strategy | |||
*Despite wielding water, Demyx has a weakness against [[Fire]] magic. This is because in the magic properties of ''Kingdom Hearts II'', water is classified as a form of [[Blizzard]] magic. | |||

*When viewing his character model in Jiminy's Journal, Demyx does not seem to blink, unlike the other Organization members. | |||
