Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

{{Q|When the soul leaves the body, its vessel, life gives way to death...|Secret Ansem Report 4}}

The {{nihongo|'''soul'''|魂|tamashii}}, along with the [[body]] and [[heart]], is a part vital to the complete existence of any living thing. The soul literally gives the body life, and is the difference between being alive or dead. It is the force that wills the body to live, and drives it to survive. The term soul may also be interchangeable with that of "mind".
The '''Soul''', along with the [[Body]] and [[Heart]], is a part vital to the ''complete'' existence of any living thing. The soul literally gives the body life, and is the difference of being alive or dead. It is the force that wills the body to live, and drives it to survive.


When someone becomes a [[Heartless]], their heart, which controls the body, is released and the body and soul is left behind. Usually, the body and soul, having no guidance, wither away. However, if that person's will was strong enough, the soul will take command of the body and will it on. This being is called a [[Nobody]]. Exceptionally strong Nobodies, such as the members of [[Organization XIII]], retain their human form. Therefore, it is clear that will is related and is an essential part of the soul.

[[Davy Jones]] of [[The Caribbean]] is known to take souls as the price for making deals with him.
Unlike the heart, which controls the body, telling it what to do and giving it feelings and emotion, the soul is the energy and life the body uses to carry out the heart's commands. Essentially, the soul is life. Therefore, it is assumed that the soul is the spirit or ghost that leaves the body upon death. If the soul leaves the body, it has no energy or drive to carry out the heart's orders, which ultimately causes the being to die.

When the will is exceptionally strong, the soul can live without both the heart and body, as was the case of Terra's [[Lingering Will]]; a suit of [[Keyblade Armor]] made animate by Terra's disembodied soul. In the case of Vanitus his soul managed to survive death and came back as the completly black and white version of Vanitus called the Vanitus Remnant.
