====Reverse/Rebirth====

*"''Your king is far away. Sleep, and leave the war with darkness in his hands. The thorny light of awakening will bring only anguish to one in your state. Turn from the light. Shut your eyes.''"<br>— <small>to Riku.</small>
*"''Can you face the truth? Here, blanketed by the darkness, sleep is safety. Sleep is eternal.''"<br>— <small>before giving Riku a card.</small>

*"''It must be nice being back in your old bedroom. Think of all the memories...''"<br>— <small>to Riku.</small>

*"''Then what do you have to show for it? First your home, then the dark. Your heart only knows how to throw things away. It's empty, like that room. Like your memories.

*"''And what do you have to show for it? First your home, then the dark. Your heart only knows how to cast away. It's empty—like that room. Like your memories. That's why you don't meet anyone. Your heart is hollow—except for the residual darkness.''"<br>— <small>to Riku.</small>

*"''You shall feel the darkness everywhere!''"<br>— <small>at the start of his battle with Riku{{KHHD}}.</small>

*"''Not giving up yet? I wonder how much of this you can take.''"<br>— <small>after Riku performs a Rapid Break{{KHHD}}.</small>
*"''It seems to me that you are intent on resisting the darkness. All right. Then see it for yourself. This is a card crafted from your memory.

There is no running from the darkness.''"<br>— <small>after his battle with Riku.</small>

*"''I simply tempered the darkness that yet remains in your heart.''"<br>— <small>explaining his "gift" to Riku.</small>
*"''To use it or not is your choice. I'll be waiting, Riku...for you to sense it and yield to the darkness in your heart!''"<br>— <small>before departing.</small>
*"''Fake? Oh, no...That's not exactly the right word.''"<br>— <small>about the Riku Replica.</small>
*"''More like a model. He is an example of what you should try to be. He accepts the darkness...just like you once couldn't help but accept me. But now you are afraid. Perhaps YOU are the one who is being fake. Fake when you pretend to have no fear.''"<br>— <small>discussing the Riku Replica.</small>
*"''Inside of the card-worlds...you grappled desperately with the darkness. Desperation is fear. You fight the darkness because it is what frightens you.''"<br>— <small>talking about Riku's fear.</small>
*"''Stubborn boy. Then continue your fight, if you must. Eventually, you will learn. You cannot resist the darkness.''"<br>— <small>after repelling Riku's attack.</small>
*"''You must battle me all alone. Against my dark powers! What's this? Are you giving up? Finally ready to surrender to your fate?''"<br>— <small>to Riku in the illusory Twilight Town.</small>

*"''You will know soon.''"<br>— <small>after being asked by Riku who Naminé is.</small>
*"''I could be nobody or anybody. It is up to you whether you choose to believe in me or not.''"<br>— <small>after being asked by Riku who he is.</small>
*"''And you have pushed away slumber making the choice to face Ansem.''"<br>— <small>to Riku about his choice.</small>
*"''You have chosen your own path.''"<br>— <small>to Riku.</small>
*"''That will be your choice as well.''"<br>— <small>after being asked by Riku if he is abandoning him.</small>
*"''The Organization will pursue you. Like a pack of hunting dogs, they will sneak up on you if they sense your presence. However—this cloak that is worn by Nobodies will render their eyes and their noses useless. The ears, not so...They wear this to give themselves protection from being devoured by darkness. Is it clear? Even the Organization cannot rule the darkness.''"<br>— <small>after giving Riku a black coat.</small>

===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
*"''You seem to be struggling.''"<br>— <small>talking to Naminé.</small>
*"''A Nobody?''"<br>— <small>to Naminé.</small>
*"''Oh, I think he can do without a memory or two.''"<br>— <small>to Naminé about Sora.</small>
*"''Naminé... You are a witch who has power over Sora's memories and those connected to him. Are you seeing something I cannot?''"<br>— <small>talking to Naminé.</small>
*"''Then so be it. The gloves must come off.''"<br>— <small>talking about taking action to wake Sora.</small>
*"''Those Nobodies had no business existing in the first place—as you know fully well, Naminé.''"<br>— <small>talking about the Nobodies.</small>
*"''It appears we've come to a standstill.''"<br>— <small>to Naminé.</small>
*"''This has gone on long enough. Riku... I think you know what needs to be done.''"<br>— <small>talking to Riku.</small>
*"''Naminé, they've found us! They are on their way! That blasted puppet led them right to our doorstep! See what you get for trusting it?''"<br>— <small>talking to Naminé when the Organization finds them.</small>

====''Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX''====
*"''The gloves must come off then.''"
*"''Nobodies never should have existed—as I'm sure you understand, Naminé.''"
*"''Naminé, it's them! The Organization has found us! They're almost here! This blasted puppet led them right to our doorstep! See what you get for trusting it?''"

===''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix''===
*"''Oh, he told you how he "felt," did he? Ridiculous. A Nobody cannot feel anything.''"<br>— <small>talking to Riku.</small>

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
*"''If we can maintain the simulated town until Naminé finishes chaining together Sora's memories.''"<br>— <small>to Riku-Ansem about Roxas.</small>
*"''He holds half of Sora's power within him. In the end, he'll have to give it back. Until then, he'll need another personality to throw off his pursuers.''"<br>— <small>to Riku-Ansem about Roxas.</small>
*"''It's the fate of a Nobody.''"<br>— <small>to Riku-Ansem, transporting Roxas to the simulated town.</small>
*"''His heart is returning. Doubtless he'll awaken very soon.''"<br>— <small>after Roxas blacks out.</small>
*"''Organization miscreants... They've found us.''"<br>— <small>to Riku-Ansem.</small>
*"''Both are nothing but data to them. The fools could never tell the difference. We are running out of time. Naminé must make haste.''"<br>— <small>to Riku-Ansem.</small>
*"''We'd be giving the enemy another entry point.''"<br>— <small>to Riku-Ansem about the beach in the simulated Twilight Town.</small>
*"''We can always buy some sea-salt ice cream. Objects from that town must be kept out of the real world. You can delete that.''"<br>— <small>joking to Riku-Ansem about the munny pouch.</small>
*"''No... Naminé hijacked the data herself. Look what she's done now... She's totally beyond my control!''"<br>— <small>to Riku-Ansem.</small>
*"''It doesn't matter. As long as Naminé accomplishes her goal...we needn't worry about what befalls Roxas.''"<br>— <small>talking about Naminé.</small>
*"''Roxas, this man speaks nonsense!''"<br>— <small>appearing before Axel and Roxas.</small>
*"''Naminé's encounter with Roxas put his heart in contact with Kairi's. And that, in turn, affected Sora. You see?''"<br>— <small>to Riku-Ansem.</small>
*"''She wasn't born like other Nobodies. She can interfere with the hearts and memories of Sora and those aligned with him.''"<br>— <small>to Riku-Ansem.</small>
*"''I could tell you... But first, perhaps you could tell me your true name.''"<br>— <small>to Riku-Ansem.</small>
*"''It's an honor, Ansem!''"<br>— <small>to Riku-Ansem.</small>
*"''Now...what about you? Are the holes in your memory starting to fill in?''"<br>— <small>to Riku-Ansem.</small>
*"''The same thing is happening to everyone who had ties to Sora. Very soon, to them, he'll be like a good friend who's gone away for a year.''"<br>— <small>to Riku-Ansem.</small>
*"''Revenge.''"<br>— <small>to Riku-Ansem about what he wants.</small>
*"''Now, for the finishing touches. First, we must dispose of Naminé. She did a splendid job with Sora, but it's high time she disappeared. Roxas isn't the only one who was never meant to exist. Take care of it, Ansem.''"<br>— <small>talking to "Ansem".</small>
*"''Roxas, to the mansion! The time has come!''"<br>— <small>talking to Roxas.</small>
*"''There's no knowledge that has the power to change your fate.''"<br>— <small>to Roxas.</small>
*"''A Nobody doesn't have a right to know. Nor does it even have the right to be.''"<br>— <small>talking to Roxas about Nobodies.</small>
*"''No further outbursts!''"<br>— <small>to Naminé.</small>
*"''At last, the Keyblade's chosen one.''"<br>— <small>meeting Roxas in the Capsule Room.</small>
*"''To half of Sora, of course. You reside in darkness. What I need is someone who can move about the realm of light and destroy Organization XIII.''"<br>— <small>to Roxas.</small>
*"''I am a servant of the world. And, if I'm a servant, then you should consider yourself a tool, at best.''"<br>— <small>talking to Roxas.</small>
*"''My apologies. This is only a data-based projection.''"<br>— <small>to Roxas.</small>
*"''You should share some of that hatred with Sora. He's far too nice for his own good.''"<br>— <small>before Roxas slashes him with his Keyblade.</small>
*"''It's been too long, my friend.''"<br>— <small>when Mickey finds him in The World That Never Was.</small>
*"''Xemnas, the Organization's Superior, is the Nobody of Xehanort, my foremost apprentice. The burden was mine to bear.''"<br>— <small>to Mickey.</small>
*"''I won't deny there was more. I was...obsessed with thoughts of revenge. My apprentices stole everything precious to me—my research, and my pride.''"<br>— <small>talking about himself.</small>
*"''He must be with his friends by now. Riku was a great help to me. I found him wandering the darkness, after you and he lost track of each other.''"<br>— <small>to Mickey.</small>
*"''I am to blame. When I met Riku the first time he still had the appearance of a boy. Probably because he had such a strong heart. I asked him to find a young man named Roxas from Organization XIII, and bring him to me. When I told him it would help Sora awaken from his slumber, Riku left without a word. He fought Roxas. And I can only surmise Riku lost that fight. Riku must have realized then: to fight in the realm of darkness, he would have to immerse himself in that same darkness. And when he did...you saw what became of him. When Riku brought Roxas back to me, he was introducing himself...as Ansem. If that was what it took to awaken his friend, he was ready to live in darkness. Riku was the victim of my revenge. ...Oh, how my heart ached. I could only laugh to hide my shame.''"<br>— <small>talking about Riku.</small>
*"''My friend, the time has come. I must make amends to these young people.''"<br>— <small>to Mickey.</small>
*"''Sora and Riku are together. We have no part to play here.''"<br>— <small>to Mickey.</small>
*"''Riku chose that form so he could use the power of darkness. It won't be easy.''"<br>— <small>explaining Riku's appearance.</small>
*"''It's a device to reclaim Kingdom Hearts and encode it as data.''"<br>— <small>explaining the Kingdom Hearts Encoder.</small>
*"''I do not claim to know the outcome of this venture, either. After all... Hearts are unpredictable.''"<br>— <small>to Mickey.</small>
*"''I'm a fool. I've spent years studying the workings of the heart. Yet it seems I still haven't learned a thing!''"<br>— <small>to Mickey.</small>
*"''The process of encoding hearts is incalculable. The inhabitants of my Twilight Town were data created from real hearts. I was convinced that they would think and behave the way I had envisioned—but I couldn't have been more wrong. A heart is so much more than any system. I saw it when Roxas and Kairi crossed paths. I knew. But I was too stubborn to accept it. It's always the same. I try to wrap my mind around things my heart already knows, only to fail. While I was trying to bring Sora back, I had so many plans in store. But once Sora was an acting force, they fell apart. All my research amounted to nothing, compared with that one boy's heart.''"<br>— <small>talking about his research, hearts and Sora.</small>
*"''All the more proof that hearts cannot be contained by data. Run, my friend! It's going to self-destruct, and anything could happen!''"<br>— <small>to Mickey.</small>
*"''Sora, the rest is up to you... And Roxas—I doubt you can hear me—but...I am sorry.''"<br>— <small>to Sora and Roxas.</small>
*"''My heart is telling me what I must do. Please allow me to do what it says!''"<br>— <small>to Mickey.</small>
*"''Have your laugh. I deserve as much for failing to see you for the fool you are.''"<br>— <small>talking to Xemnas.</small>
*"''I admit...my disregard brought chaos to more worlds than one. But what were YOU seeking? You erased me from the world, only to take my name and continue research better left forgotten... Is this the answer you've been looking for?''"<br>— <small>talking to Xemnas.</small>
*"''Xehanort. Foolish apprentice of a foolish man. You have surpassed nothing—only proved how little we both know. We may profess to know the heart, but its essence is beyond our reach. We're both ignorant—as oblivious as when we began. I'm afraid that any world you try to create... Any world of yours...would be an empire of ignorance. That is why you and your creation are destined to fall!''"<br>— <small>talking to Xemnas.</small>
*"''We've said enough! Riku, you know what to do! King Mickey, my friend, forgive me! Farewell!''"<br>— <small>before the Kingdom Hearts Encoder explodes.</small>

==="Blank Points"===
*"''Why, hello. It's not often I get visitors.''"<br>— <small>meeting Aqua.</small>
*"''Well...I can tell you this is my second time on these shores. But unfortunately, much like the first, I do not remember who I am or whence I came. Everything was washed away in whatever currents carried me here.''"<br>— <small>talking about how he got here and his memories fading.</small>
*"''You wish to return to your own world?''"<br>— <small>asking Aqua.</small>
*"''Your friends? Somewhere in the scraps of memory I have left, you remind me of a boy I once knew. He is very much like you—true to his friends, and kind. This boy travels to many worlds and fights to keep the light safe.''"<br>— <small>talking about Sora.</small>
*"''Sad to say, they nearly fell to darkness more than once. But at every turn, that boy arrived with Keyblade in hand to save the day.''"<br>— <small>when Aqua asks about the worlds.</small>
*"''Neither of those, I'm afraid.''"<br>— <small>denying that the boy's name is Terra or Ven.</small>
*"''How long has it been since I met him? At least a year now, perhaps more... Back then, my heart was clouded with vengeance. I did terrible things...both to him and his friends. I brought unhappiness to more lives than one. I felt something must be done. Was that why? A means of clearing my conscience? Or perhaps, out of a sort of scholarly instinct? While the boy slept his long sleep, I hid the results of my research inside him, transplanting the data to where it might best serve a purpose. In fact, I would like to believe... Maybe he can set things right. A boy like him who touches so many hearts—he could open the right door, and save all those people whose lives I managed to ruin. So many are still waiting for their new beginning, their birth by sleep. Even me...and even you.''"<br>— <small>talking about Sora and what he did.</small>
*"''His name...is...''"<br>— <small>after Aqua asks for the boy's name.</small>

===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===
*"''You were not the visitor I expected.''"<br>— <small>upon meeting Riku inside Sora.</small>
*"''Perhaps I wanted to atone for events of the past, even if no apology can undo the harm I have wrought. I felt...that I ought to leave at least something behind. So I digitized myself and my research, and hid them within Sora.''"<br>— <small>telling Riku how he got inside Sora.</small>
*"''Yes. A clue, I hope, to finding yourselves or your lost friends in your hour of need. The heart has always been quick to grow. Each exposure to light, to the natural world, to other people, shapes this most malleable part inside of us. Nobodies are not different from us in that manner. Sora was the only one able to return to his human form without destroying his Nobody. That is a statement to the love in his heart for other people, and the bonds that tie them together. Perhaps...he has the power to bring back the hearts and existences of those connected to him—to recreate people we thought were lost to us forever. Our most precious treasures—even an empty puppet—the trees of the forest, and the petals on the wind—there are hearts around us everywhere we look. And it does not take superhuman powers to see them. Surely we remember as children the way our hearts made everything seem so shiny, and perfect. Sora has a heart like that—uncorrupted, willing to see the good before the bad. When he sees the heart in something, it then becomes real. When a connection seems broken, he may have the power to mend it. He has touched countless hearts, he has accepted them, and he has saved them. And some of those hearts have never left him—whether they fell into darkness or were trapped there—whether they sleep in the darkness of Sora's heart, or were welcomed into its warmth—they can be saved. All Sora needs to do is be himself and follow wherever it is that his heart takes him. It is the best and the only way.''"<br>— <small>talking to Riku about Sora.</small>
*"''The rest is in there.''"<br>— <small>talking about the bottle.</small>
*"''Of course. Now why is it that you are here?''"<br>— <small>asking Riku.</small>
