The '''Bandit''' is an [[Emblem Heartless]] found in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts χ]]''.

==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
[[Jafar]] summons four Bandits to assist him and [[Iago]] in finding [[Jasmine]]. When he spots her with [[Sora]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]], Sora sends the princess off while he and his [[party]] fight off more Bandits.

Later, [[Aladdin]] uses the magic lamp from the [[Cave of Wonders]] and summons [[Genie]] to get rid of a group of Bandits surrounding them both and their new allies.

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
Bandits appear in a short cameo, during the cutscene shown after [[Sora]] learns of [[Jafar]] being released.

==Design==
The Bandit boasts a bright white turban and matching face mask, a purple vest trimmed in gold, purple pants with plum and silver trim that is held in place with a salmon-colored sash, blue curled-toe shoes, and a plum and silver choker, and set of armbands. They also wear lots of gold and silver rings and bracelets, perhaps showing off the spoils they have plundered. Their large gold-hilted swords resemble classic {{w|scimitar}}s.

''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'' Bandits are dressed in yellow and dark reds instead of purple and blue, a color scheme mirrored by their successors in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', the [[Luna Bandit]]s.

The Bandit's name references the [[Heartless]]'s resemblance to Arabian thugs. Historically, {{w|Outlaw|bandits}} were outlaws that would commit crimes such as robbery or murder.

==Strategy==
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
If timed correctly, Sora can earn [[Tech Points]] for blocking the Bandit's attacks.<ref>Before [[Kairi]]'s rescue, 2 Tech Points can be earned for blocking a basic scimitar swipe in both ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix''.</ref><ref>Before Kairi's rescue, 4 Tech Points can be earned for blocking the Bandit as it throws itself and its scimitar in ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix''.</ref><ref>After Kairi's rescue, 27 and 45 Tech Points can be earned for blocking a basic scimitar swipe in both ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix''.</ref><ref>After Kairi's rescue, 90 Tech Points can be earned for blocking the Bandit's scimitar as it twirls itself around in ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix''.</ref><!--TNE has loosely referred to this attack as the "scimitar dance"-->

==Other appearances==
===''Kingdom Hearts Mobile''===
The Bandit appears as a bonus costume in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Mobile]]'' for clearing [[Kingdom Hearts coded/Episode 5|Episode 5]] of ''Kingdom Hearts coded''.
