Kingdom Hearts Dark Road

 * "The child of destiny? Me?" — to his caretaker about being the child of destiny.
 * "You've told me that a hundred times. But what's a child of destiny?" — when his caretaker mentions his great-great-grandfather being a Keyblade wielder.
 * "I don't get it." — about the child of destiny saving the worlds from darkness.
 * "But we're the only ones here." — about the two of them living on the island.
 * "Really? But I thought I had to live here so darkness wouldn't find me." — after his caretaker tells him he will have to leave the island one day.
 * "When I get strong enough, will I get to see my mom again too?" — about his mother.
 * "Yeah, she's my mom. But I don't really remember her. Oh! I know some people I want to meet. The kids from my dreams. I don't know who they are, but they really like each other. Is that what having friends is like?" — about his mother and the people in his dreams.
 * "Umm... One's a boy with curly silver hair. Another boy has black clothes and a hat, a skinny boy with pink hair, and a quiet boy with blond hair. Oh, and a girl with dark hair just like my mom. And then there's this other one. Kind of like you. What's wrong?" — about Ephemer, Brain, Lauriam, Ventus, Skuld, and Player.
 * "What?" — when his caretaker mentions his ability to see into the hearts of others.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

 * "This world is just too small." — musing on the Destiny Islands.

Kingdom Hearts Dark Road

 * "That dream again... I've been having the same dream over and over again for as long as I can remember. An unfamiliar world filled with unfamiliar faces and unfamiliar good-byes... As if I'm experiencing a life that belonged to someone else. This island surrounded by smaller desolate isles, a vast ocean, and a never-ending sky—this is my entire world. But maybe there's something beyond these waters. Maybe there are worlds like the ones I dream of. If I could get to the outside world, would I be able to meet my friends from my dreams? I can't get the thought out of my head as I lie on the sand like a starfish day after day, feeling like I'm falling through the sky." — about his dreams and desire to see other worlds.
 * "What?" — being approached by his future Heartless (Ansem), who refers to him as his waypoint.
 * "Who are you?" — to Ansem.
 * "What do you mean? Who are you? How did you get here?" — to Ansem.
 * "Huh?" — upon being encouraged by Ansem to explore other worlds.

The Boy in Black

 * "Have you heard of the ancient Keyblade War? / Long ago, Keyblade wielders waged a war over the ownership of light. / I wonder what they planned on doing with Kingdom Hearts after...making it appear." — recounting the legend of the Keyblade War, one year before the events of Dark Road.
 * "So...you know the "Lost Masters"? / They're the ones who started the Keyblade War. / Or...they're the ones for whom the war started." — talking about the Lost Masters.
 * "You can drop the facade. / "On that land shall darkness prevail and light expire." A prospective Keyblade Master should know this. / The Gazing Eye sees the fate of the World. The future—it's already been written." — expressing belief that destiny cannot be controlled.
 * "Pretty confident. But things aren't in your favor." — after Eraqus declares that he can change the outcome of his game.
 * "Oh, I hope so." — about the possibility of light surprising him.
 * "Checkmate. And so darkness prevails, and light expires. You need a new strategy." — nearly checkmating Eraqus.
 * "Huh?" — when Eraqus picks up his king.
 * "C'mon. That's not fair. I know I had you." — when Eraqus evades check.
 * "Yeah, you got me." — admitting defeat.
 * "What?" — wondering why Eraqus is confused.
 * "That's 'cause I never lose." — talking to Eraqus.
 * "Good game today." — talking to Eraqus.
 * "Maybe I won't go as far as you. When the World needs a defender, they'll pick you, Eraqus. But that doesn't mean that I can't be there for you." — affirming his friendship with Eraqus.
 * "What's this?" — wondering what Eraqus is doing with the pieces.
 * "Seven black pieces. And?" — commenting on his pieces for Eraqus's new game.

Kingdom Hearts Dark Road

 * "I don't know why. But...I have friends... I want to see again." — about why he wants to be a Keyblade Master.
 * "I never really thought about who I was. Not until I began to wonder who others were. Day after day, I spend my time with the same classmates in the same classroom. The days are peaceful and a little boring, but they're also familiar and comfortable. Even so, my new life is just like the old. A different world, but with the same days playing out over and over again. I left the island behind to come here, and yet... Maybe it's not about the place. Maybe it's about me... ...and how I engage with others. How we influence one another and the world around us. Maybe that's what shapes our hearts and who we are...and who we will become. All kinds of things can influence the growth of a heart. Change can come from anywhere, from the smallest, simplest thing. From light, or from darkness." — talking about his life at Scala ad Caelum.
 * "The day I met the man in the robe, my world was turned upside down. But I got used to it eventually. Your world can change in an instant. Sometimes all it takes is a single step." — talking about his meeting with Ansem.
 * "It's almost time for class." — to Eraqus.
 * "Wait. Aren't you going?" — asking Eraqus if he's going to class.
 * "Always doing things in your own time." — to Eraqus.
 * "That's true." — agreeing with Eraqus about the other classmates taking their time to show up.
 * "Huh?" — wanting Eraqus to clarify his question.
 * "Beats me." — about what the other side of the ocean is like.
 * "Yeah, I was lying here unconscious. But what does that prove?" — to Eraqus.
 * "Or maybe I fell from the sky." — theorizing how he ended up in Scala ad Caelum.
 * "What you can see is only part of the picture. Not only that, the things you get used to seeing can fade into the background." — to Eraqus.
 * "Keep an open mind, Eraqus. Maybe then you'll actually beat me." — about their chess games.
 * "Come on, we need to get to class." — to Eraqus.
 * "Baldr's not here yet?" — after reaching the classroom.
 * "How does one get to those worlds?" — asking Master Odin how to reach other worlds.
 * "The situation IS worrying. Which is why I'd rather be part of a search party than sit here and do nothing." — about the missing upperclassmen.
 * "Oh?" — wondering about Baldr's task.
 * "About?" — to Bragi.
 * "Well, regardless of my past, one thing's for sure: the connection between worlds is unstable. According to the Master, the Keyblade War engulfed the world in darkness. When it was over, all the worlds began being rebuilt into what they are now. But time flows differently in each one... ...depending on when and how quickly they're restored. Some worlds are already complete, and their time has begun to flow. But others are not, and for them, time stands still. The different worlds are all moving forward at different speeds from different starting lines." — about the flow of time in different worlds.
 * "Yeah, something like that. What I'm saying is that we need to be careful about what we say and do while we're out there." — warning his classmates to be careful in other worlds.
 * "If rules and order are already established in that world, yes. But what if you're in a world equivalent to a newborn?" — about the world order.
 * "Right." — confirming that Eraqus understands his point about the instability of the worlds.
 * "Yeah." — confirming that one can't know how developed a world is without visiting it.
 * "Probably. The seven wielders each left on their own, but the Master wants us in groups of three. This won't be easy." — about their mission.
 * "Looks like it." — confirming his group of three arrived in Agrabah.
 * "They've gotta be Heartless." — upon seeing some Bandits.
 * "Not bad for our first battle." — after defeating the Heartless.
 * "I'm sure they're fine. For now, let's focus on finding some clues." — to his teammates.
 * "Yep." — confirming he saw that Agrabah is deserted.
 * "I doubt it. Look at the buildings. Maybe living beings are restored last." — about the inhabitants of Agrabah.
 * "That's a good bet." — about the monsters they fought being Heartless.
 * "Good point. Maybe it's a clue." — about the presence of Emblem Heartless.
 * "Possibly." — about the potentiality of the Heartless having attacked the upperclassmen.
 * "Maybe not the ones we fought." — about the Heartless not being strong.
 * "Let's try to gather more information. We'll head back once we find something. See?" — about their mission.
 * "I told you there were stronger Heartless around." — to Eraqus.
 * "WE did, but the missing wielders were all on their own." — about the upperclassmen.
 * "Fight." — when Eraqus asks what they would do if they were alone and encountered Heartless.
 * "Good point." — after Eraqus suggests that at least some of the upperclassmen didn't fall prey to the Heartless.
 * "You never know." — about the existence of stronger monsters.
 * "Of course you would." — to Eraqus about trying to run from battle.
 * "I'm glad everyone's okay." — after all the classmates make it back to Scala ad Caelum.
 * "So did we." — about encountering Heartless.
 * "I agree. Let's not." — about informing Odin about the results of their mission.
 * "The Master taught us all about the Heartless... ...and how much of a threat they pose. The students who went missing knew what they might face and undoubtedly prepared for it. So what about us? Can't we do the same? Don't we have the same determination and drive?" — to his classmates.
 * "Eraqus..." — when Eraqus says to run from danger even if it means abandoning their classmates.
 * "Be safe. We'll meet back here soon." — before the classmates depart again.
 * "Shh. We're being watched." — telling his teammates to be quiet in Wonderland.
 * "What is it?" — after Eraqus falls down.
 * "Who are you?" — when the Cheshire Cat appears.
 * "How did you know we're waiting for our friends?" — to the Cheshire Cat.
 * "! What!? Where?" — when the Cheshire Cat tells them their friends have been captured.
 * "Well, we don't have much to go off of." — about their plan.
 * "Beats me. Ah, that might be our answer." — when the card soldiers arrive.
 * "For now. But I'm not so sure about the others." — worrying about their classmates.
 * ""More intruders," he said—which means he must've run into people like us before." — about one of the card soldiers.
 * "I don't know. Seems like this world has its own weird set of rules." — about Wonderland.
 * "Wait. What exactly are you going to do?" — when Eraqus draws his Keyblade.
 * "By attacking these people? Remember, we have to respect this world's order." — about the world order.
 * "Well, we shouldn't waste any more time standing around here. What are you smiling about? Let's go." — telling his teammates to confront the Queen of Hearts and her servants.
 * "That verdict is unfair and you know it!" — to the Queen of Hearts about giving their classmates a guilty sentence.
 * "They should be judged by a jury of their peers, and not by one single person. What right do you have to decide their fate?" — to the Queen of Hearts.
 * "You decide everything for everyone?" — to the Queen of Hearts.
 * "That WAS the plan. We'll just have to wing it now." — when the Queen of Hearts orders the card soldiers to attack.
 * "What—?" — seeing darkness around the Queen of Hearts.
 * "You don't have to ask." — about using the Keyblade against a Ferry Reaper.
 * "This won't be easy." — about the Ferry Reaper.
 * "Sorry—what were you talking about?" — to his classmates.
 * "Darkness can hide anywhere. Even inside someone. Huh?" — speaking in sync with Eraqus and questioning why he said the same thing as him.
 * "Me? I..." — when Eraqus asks him how he knew the saying.
 * "Right. Look at that queen. She believes people respect her power, even though it's obvious they live in fear. That's the kind of delusion that might force our hand down the line." — about the Queen of Hearts and her subjects.
 * "Me too." — to Eraqus about believing in the light in people's hearts.
 * "I'm fine." — when Eraqus asks him if he is OK.
 * "I wonder...could darkness burrow so deep into someone's heart that they don't even know it's there?" — to Eraqus.
 * "Could you turn your Keyblade on a being that has no idea what they've become?" — to Eraqus.
 * "One day we might have to decide." — to Eraqus about the above question.
 * "Yeah. Better to keep a low profile." — telling the others he and Eraqus will stay in Wonderland.
 * "See you guys later. Be safe." — before the others leave him, Eraqus, and another classmate in Wonderland.
 * "We have a plan, but it's dangerous." — to the third teammate.
 * "!!! Who are you?" — when Tweedledee and Tweedledum appear.
 * "Xehanort." — introducing himself to Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
 * "C'mon, let's go." — telling his teammates to leave.
 * "But we're in a hurry." — when Tweedledum tries to stop them from leaving.
 * "Eraqus, don't." — when Eraqus asks Tweedledee and Tweedledum what happened to the oysters.
 * "Eraqus..." — when Eraqus agrees to listen to Tweedledee and Tweedledum's story.
 * "A warning for the curious, huh? Maybe they were trying to warn Eraqus." — about Tweedledee and Tweedledum's story.
 * "What? You're the one who just HAD to stop and listen." — when Eraqus implies that Xehanort is curious.
 * "Here's hoping we don't dive right into a pool of darkness." — before they continue their journey.
 * "That way." — hearing a voice nearby.
 * "And I thought the Tweedles were strange." — about the Mad Hatter and March Hare.
 * "Come on, guys." — telling his teammates to leave.
 * "No, the queen is different. Those guys were confusing and erratic, but she's all about power. She's predictable that way." — contrasting the Mad Hatter and March Hare with the Queen of Hearts.
 * "Yeah. The people here are all scared of her. Their fear is the foundation of this world's order." — about the Queen of Hearts and her subjects.
 * "So many of them seem silly and carefree, but beneath it all, they're afraid. That's how order is maintained here." — about Wonderland's order.
 * "Uh..." — when the third teammate says Tweedledee and Tweedledum don't have darkness in their hearts.
 * "Right. I doubt we're going to uncover anything about them in this world. The queen's reaction said it all. We're the only outsiders who've come here in a long time. I still don't know if darkness was involved in their disappearance, but it has to be the key to finding them. Think about it. How else could seven wielders disappear at the same time? Chasing the darkness might lead to the truth." — about the connection between darkness and the upperclassmen.
 * "Well... There's still so much we don't know. Is the queen the source of darkness, or is she just a vessel for it? And is she harboring it knowingly?" — about the Queen of Hearts and darkness.
 * "Guys? I think we're lost." — to his teammates.
 * "Finding our way there might not be easy. We got lucky last time." — about the Queen of Hearts' castle.
 * "We're not here to face any sentence. We want to talk." — to the Queen of Hearts.
 * "You said before that—" — attempting to ask the Queen of Hearts a question before being cut off by her.
 * "And that arrogance is yours as well? Or does it belong to a dark being inside of you, commanding you to act like this?" — to the Queen of Hearts.
 * "Maybe the darkness comes from her greed." — about the Queen of Hearts.
 * "(So her darkness doesn't come from greed. It comes from wrath.)" — thinking to himself.
 * "It smiled..." — about the Queen of Hearts' darkness.
 * "I don't know." — when his teammates ponder where the Furious Reaper came from.
 * "I don't think it is. Get ready!" — about the Furious Reaper being different from the Ferry Reaper.
 * "I do. Let's head back. We should share what we know with the others." — before leaving Wonderland.
 * "There may be more than one dark entity. A single light can cast countless shadows. And as light's guardians, we may have a similar effect. The more we venture out into the world, the more darkness may follow in our wake." — to his classmates in Scala ad Caelum.
 * "Well, it's just a theory." — about the above statements.
 * "Yeah, it's a likely scenario." — about the upperclassmen attracting darkness.
 * "To tell you the truth, I don't know if that matters." — about whether the Queen of Hearts' darkness is her own.
 * "Exactly. It looked to me like her darkness came from within. Or she could've welcomed it into her heart without knowing." — about the Queen of Hearts and her darkness.
 * "But maybe it doesn't matter because in their world, an angry queen maintains order. The rule that light is right and darkness is wrong just doesn't hold true. It's a question of perspective—" — about Wonderland's order.
 * "I'm not, don't worry. What I'm getting at is that if the missing students found themselves facing darkness, and darkness was that world's order, then it's possible they were defeated." — about the upperclassmen.
 * "Are you all right?" — to Vor in the Dwarf Woodlands.
 * "We need to stick together." — to Vor.
 * "They must be from this world, but I don't think they're likely to harm us." — about some of the dwarves.
 * "There must've been a cave-in." — about the dwarves' mine.
 * "You're one to talk." — to Eraqus when he chastises Vor for running off.
 * "So someone's trapped behind that boulder..." — to some of the dwarves.
 * "That's not a bad idea. A Keyblade might do the trick." — assuming Vor will use the Keyblade to destroy the boulder.
 * "We've got company." — before a Driller Mole appears.
 * "I don't know, but the only thing to do now is to—" — before fighting the Driller Mole.
 * "We all knew it wasn't going to be easy." — about tracking down the darkness.
 * "An all-knowing mirror?" — about the Magic Mirror.
 * "So this is it." — upon finding the Magic Mirror.
 * "...Eraqus." — when Eraqus asks the Magic Mirror how to beat him in chess.
 * "Please ignore him." — to the Magic Mirror about Eraqus.
 * "We're looking for some classmates who went missing. Do you know where they are?" — to the Magic Mirror.
 * "So they're on their own. Let's see if we can at least track down one of them." — about the upperclassmen.
 * "I have a bad feeling about this." — after the Evil Queen throws a potion onto the Magic Mirror.
 * "What!?" — when the Evil Queen asks the Magic Mirror to consume them.
 * "Look out!" — when the Magic Mirror attacks in the mirror realm.
 * "I doubt it's gonna answer any of our questions now. You two ready?" — before fighting the Magic Mirror.
 * "I think so." — when Vor asks if they're back in the castle after defeating the Magic Mirror.
 * "Are you alone?" — to Vidar.
 * "What is it?" — when Vidar says he has something to do.
 * "Change is inevitable. You should embrace it and learn to build new relationships." — to Eraqus when he says they'll never change.
 * "Her heart and her mind are made up." — about Vor joining Vidar.
 * "I want to focus on the task at hand." — in Scala ad Caelum when Eraqus asks if he wants to use the Magic Mirror search for Vor.
 * "Vidar said he'd return once he was done with whatever he needed to do. If so, he and Vor should show up sooner or later." — to Eraqus about Vidar and Vor.
 * "Even if he is, she'll be fine. She's tough. She doesn't need our help." — about Vidar and Vor.
 * "Don't I? What about you? Would a friend try to manipulate someone's beliefs just because they don't line up with their own?" — to Eraqus about their disagreement regarding searching for Vor.
 * "Who's to decide what's right and what's wrong? Unless you know of someone who has a heart of pure light with no trace of shadow." — to Eraqus.
 * "Again with the Keyblade Master. It's just a title. You have to work hard and prove yourself to give it any meaning." — to Eraqus.
 * "Even if we take different paths to locate the missing upper classmen, we're bound to arrive at the same destination. Eraqus should follow his heart on this one." — to Hermod.
 * "I doubt it. We left something of an impression on the queen, so getting close to it would be tricky. And even if we did, it might trap us again. Who knows if we'd be able to fight our way out a second time." — about the Magic Mirror.
 * "If he were here, he'd turn right around and go home." — about Eraqus at Beast's Castle.
 * "There!" — seeing Search Ghosts surrounding Chip.
 * "We'll need to track them down to know for sure. First things first. I'd like to talk to this master of yours. Where can we find him?" — to the Beast's servants.
 * "It's okay. I deal with difficult people all the time." — when Cogsworth warns him about meeting the Beast.
 * "Xehanort." — introducing himself to the Beast.
 * "We were hoping you could tell us what happened." — to the Beast.
 * "We can't turn our weapons on a resident of this world. Let's go. Good. He's not following us." — when the Beast attacks Hermod.
 * "It's not much. We know who did it, but we don't know why or where they are." — about the upperclassmen stealing the Beast's rose.
 * "Just stating the facts. Let's tell the others what we've learned. Maybe this piece of information will lead to something more." — preparing to leave Beast's Castle.
 * "And we outnumber them." — about a pair of Earth Gargoyles.
 * "Greater numbers don't guarantee victory." — to Hermod against an Earth Gargoyle.
 * "I'm worried about Urd. Let's finish this and go after her." — to Hermod against an Earth Gargoyle.
 * "Hermod, go and check on the castle's servants." — after destroying the Earth Gargoyle.
 * "Don't worry. She only needs one of us to outnumber it." — when Hermod tries to join him in assisting Urd.
 * "I will." — about protecting Urd.
 * "Essential to the order...?" — after spying on a conversation between Urd and Vala, in which the latter calls the rose essential to the order of Beast's Castle.
 * "I don't know. But I do know that this is the only world Master Odin primed for us that we haven't searched yet." — returning to Agrabah with Hermod and Urd.
 * "Why not send your soldiers?" — to Jafar about searching for the magic lamp in the Cave of Wonders.
 * "All right, we..." — agreeing to search for the lamp.
 * "!" — sensing darkness in Jafar after he shakes Xehanort's hand.
 * "Sure enough..." — to Urd about searching for the lamp.
 * "Xehanort." — introducing himself to the Cave of Wonders.
 * "That Jafar... I don't trust him. Keep your guard up. We might be in for a surprise." — to Urd and Hermod.
 * "Because even if this is some sort of hoax, it's still a chance to search parts of this world we otherwise couldn't" — about exploring the Cave of Wonders.
 * "Yep. Walking like a person." — about the Magic Carpet.
 * "Yep. Walking like a carpet." — about Eraqus.
 * "It sounded like a warning. But first things first. We need to deal with these Heartless." — before fighting the Bags O' Jewels.
 * "Then we'd better hurry. Stop!" — about Eraqus touching treasure.
 * "What are you doing?" — to Bragi and Eraqus.
 * "Aren't you supposed to be looking for Vor?" — to Bragi and Eraqus.
 * "The world IS in trouble, that much is true. But I sensed darkness inside Jafar. And he's desperate to get his hands on the lamp." — about Jafar.
 * "All I know is that when he took my hand, I felt his greed. He covets power, and he'll stop at nothing to obtain it." — about Jafar.
 * "Let me get this straight. For whatever reason, the upper classmen are trying to steal what's essential to each world's order. Urd thinks that this lamp Jafar is after is it, and that the upper classmen may come to take it for themselves." — about the upperclassmen and the lamp.
 * "They're not going to let us through without a fight. It should be up ahead. Let's go." — before and after fighting the Volcanic Lord and Blizzard lord.
 * "We've defeated countless dark entities the old-fashioned way. Why go this far?" — to Vidar.
 * "What was that?" — asking Vidar what is important to him and the other upperclassmen.
 * "It's okay, Eraqus. None of us have the knowledge or experience to decide. When you do eventually become a Keyblade Master, you may find yourself having to make this very same decision. And maybe then, you'll know what to do." — when Eraqus refuses to take the lamp.
 * "Yeah, it's best we steer clear of him." — about Jafar.
 * "If that's true... How do we defeat something like that?" — in Scala ad Caelum about true darkness being formless.
 * "Kingdom Hearts..." — after Master Odin mentions Kingdom Hearts.
 * "It could even purge the worlds..." — about Kingdom Hearts.
 * "And we wouldn't even know where to go. The only reason we ran into them is because they were keeping tabs on us. So the odds of seeing them again are the same even if we stay. " — about the upperclassmen.
 * "If there's something we could do, we should do it." — about helping to stop the upperclassmen.
 * "Do you think this new threat anything to do with the upper classmen who disappeared?" — about true darkness and the upperclassmen who were killed.
 * "Baldr!" — seeing Baldr appear.
 * "What've you been up to?" — to Baldr.
 * "So the upper classmen that Vidar said disappeared—" — about Hoder being one of the dead upperclassmen.
 * "Yep." — before heading to Olympus Coliseum.
 * "What kind of deal?" — to Hades.
 * "Last and certainly least, huh?" — about being the third member of a team with Bragi and Eraqus in the tournament.
 * "Where are we?" — after being transported to the Underworld.
 * "We want to talk to someone who disappeared." — asking Hades to speak to the Hoder.
 * "Whatever. Can we see her or not?" — about Hoder.
 * "You mean where in this world?" — when Hades asks when and where Hoder died.
 * "Apparently not." — about Hoder seemingly not being dead.
 * "He's right." — when Hades points out their deal only stipulated they would be transported to the Underworld if they won the tournament.
 * "Hoder." — telling Hades Hoder's name.
 * "A guard dog in the Underworld, huh?" — before fighting Cerberus.
 * "Bragi, be careful. Baldr, I'll see you later. Count on it." — before leaving Cerberus to Bragi and Baldr.
 * "Okay. But make sure Bragi's all right. When you're done, meet us at the open area up ahead. There's something that's been bothering me that I need to figure out. Let's get this over with." — before and after Urd and Hermod leave to help Bragi and Baldr.
 * "I hope it's just my imagination..." — worrying about Baldr being filled with darkness.
 * "We were tasked by Master Odin to find all of you, the missing upper classmen." — to the dead upperclassmen.
 * "Not exactly. He's working toward summoning Kingdom Hearts to purge the worlds. He didn't want your efforts to be for nothing." — about Vidar.
 * "What happened to all of you? What can you tell us about this darkness?" — to the dead upperclassmen.
 * "We've also visited a few worlds and seen the same thing. There's a little bit of darkness everywhere. But that's its way, to slowly infiltrate everything. Darkness can hide anywhere. Even inside someone." — about darkness.
 * "Right." — when Eraqus asks him if knowing darkness is the key to destroying it.
 * "Thank you." — after Heimdall encourages him and Eraqus to broaden their horizons.
 * "Me too." — when Eraqus says he wants to see the others.
 * "Well, we can ask someone who might know." — wanting to ask Hades about Bragi and Baldr's whereabouts.
 * "Let's try this again." — preparing to fight Hades with three other teammates.
 * "What—" — before being pulled into a corridor of darkness.
 * "Eraqus! Eraqus, wake up!" — seeing Eraqus in the corridor of darkness.
 * "Quick, put on your armor. Darkness is all around us. If you listen to its whispers, it'll get inside your head and your heart." — about the darkness.
 * "I don't know. Our armor will buy us some time, but I don't know how much. We need to find a way out, but... How? What do we do?" — about escaping the corridor of darkness.
 * "I almost wish I didn't." — to Eraqus about knowing who is behind everything.
 * "I think so." — about Baldr being behind everything.
 * "And Hermod and Urd." — suspecting Baldr of killing Hermod and Urd.
 * "He lost his sister. Anyone would be weak to darkness after that. Where are you going?" — about Baldr and Eraqus leaving the classroom.
 * "Eraqus, wait! Things seem to be under control here. Let's leave it to them." — trying to stop Eraqus from interfering.
 * "Even knowing what he's done? All right." — about helping Baldr.
 * "It turns out Baldr was taken over by darkness. And now we're the only ones left." — to the surviving upperclassmen.
 * "Eraqus, no—don't let your anger take over. That's what happened to Baldr." — when Eraqus prepares to fight the upperclassmen.
 * "...All right." — before helping Eraqus in his battle
 * "That's enough, Eraqus. You wanted to defeat the darkness, not your classmates. Remember?" — stopping Eraqus from finishing the upperclassmen after the battle.
 * "Wait, where's Vor?" — to the upperclassmen.
 * "Baldr!" — after Baldr appears.
 * "So it's true." — sensing Baldr's darkness.
 * "The tower... He's going after Vor!" — realizing who Baldr's target is.
 * "Come on!" — before heading to the tower with Eraqus.
 * "Vor, please be okay." — in the tower.
 * "Vidar!" — seeing the upperclassmen get hurt by the Hringhorn.
 * "Baldr!" — preparing to face Baldr and the Hringhorn.
 * "Vor!" — after Baldr fatally wounds Vor.
 * "Vor..." — after Vor's death.
 * "Thirteen darknesses?" — when Baldr mentions the thirteen darknesses on the rooftop.
 * "Wait. Calling on that power would purge the world, which means that darkness—you—would disappear." — when Baldr talks about summoning Kingdom Hearts.
 * "And he'd turn to Kingdom Hearts." — about Vidar.
 * "If Vidar started gathering the seven lights just like you wanted, why did you appear to us? You could've sat back and watched everything unfold like you planned." — to Baldr.
 * "What's going on?" — when darkness envelops him and Baldr.
 * "Baldr... Stop!" — when Baldr tells him to put his Keyblade away and stands up.
 * "Then prove it." — when Baldr tells him he isn't true darkness.
 * "I..." — when Baldr asks him whether light or darkness rules his heart.
 * "You don't know what you're talking about." — when Baldr says he and Xehanort are the same.
 * "You were born from Baldr's heart?" — to Baldr's darkness.
 * "The darkness grew and became his own..." — about the darkness inside Baldr.
 * "None of that matters. This ends when I defeat you." — preparing to attack Baldr.
 * "That anger... Hold on to it." — preparing to attack Baldr.
 * "Two kinds of people..." — when Baldr says he and Xehanort are one kind, and Hoder and Eraqus are another.
 * "Wait!" — when Hoder and Baldr summon their Keyblades.
 * "Master Odin!" — when Odin restrains Baldr with chains.
 * "Hermod... Urd... Bragi... Vor... Baldr... Now you and your sister will always be together. You'll always have the light to share." — visiting his classmates' graves a month later.
 * "Eraqus. I didn't expect to see you here so early." — seeing Eraqus at the cemetery.
 * "I don't think there's such a thing as too many." — about the flowers.
 * "How's Master Odin?" — to Eraqus.
 * "I'll be sure to tell him you said so." — after Eraqus calls Odin a "glum old man."
 * "And you're still you. Always the joker." — to Eraqus.
 * "Is that really how you see yourself?" — when Eraqus calls himself "sunny and delightful."
 * "You make it hard not to." — about Eraqus making him laugh.
 * "Says the person weeping loudly night after night, alone in his room." — after Eraqus says that life should be fun.
 * "You're in the next room. I couldn't tune you out if I tried." — when Eraqus accuses him of eavesdropping.
 * "Really? Already?" — about Odin's decision for them to take the Mark of Mastery exam.
 * "Oh..." — when Eraqus tells him Odin wants them to replace him so he can retire.
 * "Maybe it is." — when Eraqus tells him Odin said it's time for change.
 * "Do you really want to lose that badly?" — when Eraqus asks him to play chess.
 * "What? You've been at this longer than I have." — about chess.
 * "Just barely. I don't think it matters." — about him being older than Eraqus.
 * "All right. Light, huh? Hold on to that dream of yours." — about Eraqus's dream.
 * "How on earth did you hear that?!" — after Eraqus asks him what he just said.
 * "I took the first step of my long journey. As I walked along the path, darkness whispered to me from all around. Though I couldn't understand what it said, it stirred emotions deep within my heart. These emotions manifested in my mind as words. Was this someone else's darkness? Their emotions? Hatred, jealousy, doubt—things I'd never felt before. I didn't know it at the time, but these belonged to people I had yet to meet. Some were even directed at me. Would I be able to handle that? Being the focus of someone's darkness? Someone's heart? That was the moment something began to grow inside my own heart. I'd soon learn that in keeping to this path, this corridor of darkness, no heart could help but become drenched in darkness. Regardless of where these foul emotions were coming from, they gave me comfort. They helped me realize that my heart could still feel. But I had no idea what lay ahead. Something more terrifying than the darkness—emptiness." — talking about his first trip in a corridor of darkness.
 * "One year after the upper classmen went missing, it was decided we would be tested for the Mark of Mastery. Before the exam, wielders must journey to the outside worlds to broaden their horizons. For the upper classmen, this was the trip that led to the series of unfortunate events. Ordinarily, this is the first opportunity for a Keyblade wielder to see other worlds. However, we had already gotten a glimpse of what was out there. Even so, being abroad again evokes different emotions than before. Perhaps that past experience affected my heart more than I realized. Or perhaps these feelings were born when I left the island and first walked through these gates, and only now, they are coming to the surface. The turbulent emotions which flood this corridor are more than anyone could bear. To even try would allow darkness to devour you. My armor provides protection, yet every time I pass through, the darkness seeps further into my heart. I can feel it, faint though it may be. But if my heart is strong enough, maybe it could weather this maelstrom? For if I am the "child of destiny"..." — talking about the Mark of Mastery and corridors of darkness a year after the events of Dark Road.
 * "Whoa!" — being woken up by the Master of Masters in the Keyblade Graveyard.
 * "Who are you?" — to the Master of Masters.
 * "*sigh*" — when the Master of Masters gives him a cryptic answer.
 * "You what—? ...Oh." — when the Master of Masters tells him he saved his life.
 * "Well, what about you? Why were YOU there?" — to the Master of Masters.
 * "Really? I've never heard of you." — when the Master of Masters says he used to be a Keyblade wielder.
 * "How can I trust you? Wha–" — while summoning his Keyblade and seeing the Master of Masters summon it from him.
 * "Even less." — when the Master of Masters asks him if he trusts him after taking his Keyblade.
 * "Fine." — after the Master of Masters warns him about entering corridors of darkness unprotected.
 * "What's this?" — when the Master of Masters hands him a black coat.
 * "Are you trying to sell me this coat?" — to the Master of Masters.
 * "...Still don't trust you." — when the Master of Masters tells him the coat is free.
 * "I'm in the middle of my journey to prepare for the Mark of Mastery exam." — explaining why he was in a corridor of darkness.
 * "I thought you said you used to be a Keyblade wielder." — when the Master of Masters asks him what a Mark of Mastery exam is.
 * "Right. Well, anyone who's qualified to take the exam needs to travel the outside worlds alone to broaden their horizons." — explaining the purpose of his journey.
 * "It's part of the training." — about the journey.
 * "Hey, you asked." — to the Master of Masters.
 * "No." — when the Master of Masters asks him if his trip is over.
 * "I thought you said it was free." — when the Master of Masters asks for a favor as thanks for the coat.
 * "At what?" — after the Master of Masters asks him to take a peek.
 * "Huh?" — when the Master of Masters responds to the above question with "people's hearts."
 * "Whoa, where did that come from?" — after the Master of Masters says that feelings towards one's loved ones aren't always feelings of light.
 * "People shouldn't be categorized in extremes. And even if I was either type, it doesn't mean that I carry those dark intentions." — when the Master of Masters tells him that people can be divided into categories of strong and weak.
 * "..." — hesitating after the Master of Masters asks him if his experience has taught him that his view of people is wrong.
 * "Huh?" — when the Master of Masters says he will wait for him to complete his journey.

Xehanort
— talking to the Master of Masters about his black coat after completing his journey. — talking to the Master. — reflecting on his findings. — talking about his findings of the world. — opining that the world should be governed by darkness. — to the Master. — to the Master. — to the Master. — to the Master. — talking about his destiny. — when the Master of Masters tells him he will outgrow the coat one day. — asking for the Master's identity. — asking the Master's name. — before the Master leaves.
 * "Yeah. It wards off darkness. It's useful."
 * "I learned...the reason for my existence."
 * "All around the world, people live seemingly peaceful lives. They believe themselves to be moral and virtuous, but it's all an act. Darkness lurks in the pit of everyone's heart. Their light is a total farce."
 * "Those who are weak, and who desire greater power, simply strip the strong of their power, and convince themselves they've earned it. That's how people become tainted by darkness. They believe what they want to believe, using hollow reasons as justification. They repeat this cycle, and their darkness grows."
 * "No, it's better they be ruled by darkness. People carry delusions of having power, but it's a lie. They are but sheep pretending to be wolves. Though I admit, I can understand why."
 * "Because left alone, the world would fall to chaos. There needs to be order."
 * "Understanding hearts is difficult; more so the emotions within. I simply realize that it's easy to dismiss what you don't comprehend."
 * "I don't know what I can do, but I will act. What comes next is too important."
 * "Power, eh...? Who knows? My training's coming to an end, and the exam's not far off. Maybe I can gain some clarity then."
 * "It's funny. Somehow, I can sense where I'm supposed to go, and what I'm supposed to do. Yes, even this coat, there's something familiar about it, as if I'm meant to wear this."
 * "How so?"
 * "Who are you really? Some kind of fortune-teller?"
 * "So, your name?"
 * "Lost...Master..."

Kingdom Hearts Dark Road
— to Eraqus in Scala ad Caelum after his journey, two years after the events of Dark Road. — about one lifetime not being enough. — explaining why he wants thirteen lives.
 * "It made me think......about a lot of things. The events of the past, what's to come... What about you? Wasn't it always your dream to travel abroad on your own?"
 * "It made me realize that one lifetime is too short." — talking about what he learned from his journey.
 * "It's not enough."
 * "Yes, but... I'd rather do it myself." — when Eraqus tells him he can pass his legacy on to the next generation.
 * "Hmm... Twelve. No, thirteen." — after Eraqus asks him how many lifetimes he wants.
 * "That's what it'll take to rebuild the world."
 * "Scratch that. One more to explore the new world." — stating he wants a fourteenth life for after his plan is complete.
 * "We all have our dreams." — to Eraqus about him wanting fourteen lives.
 * "Yeah. What's yours? to become a Keyblade Master?" — asking Eraqus what his dream is.
 * "Hm? What brought that on?" — when Eraqus says he wants to stay true to light.
 * "I see." — after Eraqus says he wants to lead those lost in darkness back to the light.
 * "No, it's the perfect dream for you." — when Eraqus asks him if he's laughing at his dream.
 * "It's true that running away isn't my forte, unlike someone I know. Thanks for always being there." — after Eraqus tells him that he would sink deeper into darkness if he tried to escape on his own.
 * "Yeah." — confirming that he is leaving Scala ad Caelum, four years after the events of Dark Road.
 * "Yeah." — after Eraqus asks him if they had some good times.
 * "..." — when Eraqus tries to discourage him from leaving.
 * "I just want to see more of what's out there before the Mark of Mastery exam." — about his reason for leaving.
 * "Not everything." — when Eraqus tells him he's already seen outside worlds.
 * "..." — after Eraqus asks him what he's looking for.
 * "You mean 107 wins, 323 losses, and 7 draws." — about Eraqus's chess scores.
 * "Do you seriously mean that?" — when Eraqus says his estimated scores are "close enough" to the real scores.
 * "See you." — to Eraqus before leaving.
 * "You don't remember me? I knew it." — returning to Wonderland and seeing darkness in the Queen of Hearts.
 * "Kingdom Hearts is the only way." — to Eraqus about wanting to summon Kingdom Hearts, seven years after the events of Dark Road.
 * "Our duty is to protect the world. This is the path we must take." — about what he perceives as the Keyblade Masters' duty.
 * "We were both given the title, but you alone are the true heir." — to Eraqus about the title of Keyblade Master.
 * "Since coming here nine years ago, I've contemplated what it means to protect the world. This decision did not come easily." — about his choice to summon Kingdom Hearts.
 * "And how can YOU be so sure it's not?" — to Eraqus about his opposition to Xehanort's plan.
 * "Do you stand in my way as a true Keyblade Master?" — before fighting Eraqus.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

 * "But darkness did cover the world once, in legend. We know so little about the Keyblade War—only that it was just the beginning. Amidst that crisis a precious light was found. It is a curious tale—and one worth exploring. They say ruin brings about creation. So what, then, would another Keyblade War bring? When the darkness falls, will we be found worthy of the precious light the legend speaks of? I must have these answers. The χ-blade needs to be forged, and with it, the door to the Keyblade War unlocked!" — revealing his intentions to Eraqus, fifty-four years after the events of Dark Road.
 * "But once again you have it all wrong, Eraqus. Darkness is a beginning, you see, not an end. At birth, every one of us emerges from darkness into a world of light, do we not?" — arguing with Eraqus.
 * "Not your concern." — when Eraqus asked him if the darkness has taken him.

Kingdom Hearts Dark Road

 * "Do you recognize me?" — to the Magic Mirror, sixty-four years after the events of Dark Road.
 * "A demonstration of my resolve." — about his bald head.
 * "Over the years, I have lost many comrades. Some passed on, while others chose a different path. However, there will always be a special place in my heart...for those friends I never met save in my dreams as a young lad. Alas, my efforts to find them have been in vain. I don't even know their names. But I can see their faces still. I ask you: did they ever exist, or were they merely a figment of my imagination?" — asking the Magic Mirror about the friends from his dreams as a boy.
 * "How can you be sure? Without even their names?" — when the Mirror tells him some of the friends from his dreams are alive in the current time.
 * "Where are they now?" — asking the Magic Mirror about the whereabouts of the friends from his dreams.
 * "The Keyblade Graveyard!" — deducing the location of Ventus after the Mirror tells him his location.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

 * "No. It is because you are trying to hold it in. Let the dark impulses waken in the pit of your heart. Release them, here and now! Sharpen your fear into rage. You must! If you do not let the storm within you run its course, it will wipe you from the face of the world, make no mistake! Do it. Embrace the darkness. Produce for your Master the χ-blade!" — trying to get Ventus to succumb to the darkness, sixty-five years after the events of Dark Road.
 * "Really? You would rather die than use the power? Feckless neophyte. If I must... I will extract the darkness from within you myself." — right before creating Vanitas.
 * "Empty creature from Ventus riven...to you, the name Vanitas shall be given." — naming Vanitas.
 * "There, you see? An empty world, like a prison. I imagine you will be right at home." — leaving Ventus on Destiny Islands.
 * "A Keyblade!" — seeing Ventus raise his Keyblade due to Sora healing his heart.

Kingdom Hearts Dark Road

 * "The corridors of darkness. Bridges that connect each and every world. Destinations near and far are but a brief trek away. But it comes with a hefty cost. These halls are not to be traversed by the living but by spirit and emotions. They gather here, their hearts drawing in others. Those who attempt to embrace these emotions find their hearts become corroded, until they are overcome by darkness. That is why these coats are essential. But those words of caution are for the weak. I believe that a heart strong enough can withstand the strain. I suppose this is of no concern to someone who's closed off their heart. My first mentor taught me of the child of destiny who can connect their heart to others and feel what they feel. So I must embrace these emotions. Let them flow into my heart. Will I finally be deemed worthy...?" — talking about the corridors of darkness, the black coats, and the child of destiny.
 * "It seems you've settled in." — to Eraqus after bring Ventus to the Land of Departure.
 * "You've taken on apprentices. They seem quite bright." — about Terra and Aqua.
 * "Yes. But Eraqus..." — confirming he had an apprentice.
 * "I'm sorry." — apologizing to Eraqus.
 * "Yes. His name is Ventus." — confirming the boy he brought is the apprentice he wants Eraqus to train and telling him his name.
 * "I took him under my wing this past year. But... I think he may be the child of destiny." — about Ventus.
 * "Yes. He's a special boy, one who deserves to be guided by a true heir to light. I stand too close to the darkness." — wanting Eraqus to train Ventus.
 * "?!" — hearing Ventus scream.
 * "You were to wait at the badlands." — seeing Vanitas in the Land of Departure.
 * "I did this for him. Not you." — about Ventus.
 * "Hold your tongue, boy. You may be pure darkness, but you are no match for my blade." — threatening Vanitas.
 * "Long ago, there were thirteen ancient darknesses. The most primitive of shadows. Formless. The Keyblade Masters of old rendered themselves as vessels to trap the most powerful seven within their bodies. Of the six that remained, four were imprisoned by Keyblade wielders in the world comprised of data. And two were destroyed when the world collapsed... But one survived, it is said, and disguised itself as an ally of light. Perhaps it hides inside one of us, here in this time. Tell me, Vanitas. As a being of darkness, what do you think?" — talking about the ancient darknesses.
 * "Is that so? Darkness was once whole. And though fractured since, their minds were once connected. You must know where the others are." — after Vanitas denies being connected to the ancient darknesses.
 * "That was once part of a whole?" — about Vanitas's being.
 * "Hypothetically, if you were the darkness in question, why would it be necessary for you to hide? What would be the reason to conceal your existence?" — asking Vanitas why an ancient darkness would hide.
 * "Fear, perhaps?" — speculating on why an ancient darkness would hide.
 * "Light." — when Vanitas asks what he would have to fear.
 * "His heart was not split into light and darkness—you were not born from it. You inhabited his heart, I surmise. And if that's true, where did you and he come from? Ventus appeared in my dreams as a young lad. Our meeting was not by chance." — about Ventus and Vanitas.
 * "What is there to know?" — to Vanitas.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

 * "What do you make of Ventus?" — asking Vanitas what he thinks of Ventus.
 * "Not here, you won't. I have to keep up appearances." — telling Vanitas to provoke Ventus somewhere else.
 * "Yes... You are indeed strong. The darkness is nothing to fear. And yet...how frustrating that Eraqus refutes its power. Why, you could train with him forever and still...you'd never be a Master in his eyes." — talking to Terra after the Mark of Mastery exam.
 * "You're fine as you are. Darkness cannot be destroyed. It can only be channeled." — encouraging Terra to embrace the darkness.
 * "Terra." — calling to Terra in the Lanes Between.
 * "Terra, come see me at once." — beckoning Terra to the Keyblade Graveyard.
 * "Someone had to safeguard the light...from the demon I unleashed. You must know about the boy by now, the one in the mask. His name is Vanitas. A creature of pure darkness. One of my making." — explaining his actions to Terra.
 * "He came from Ventus." — about Vanitas.
 * "Yes. Vanitas is the darkness that was inside your friend. It was an accident. While training with me, Ventus succumbed to darkness, and there was but one way to save him—strip that part of him away. And thus Vanitas was made. In the process, I damaged Ventus's heart in the most horrific way. So I did what I felt was right, and left him with Eraqus. I knew the boy could not stay with me, the man who did him such grievous harm." — revealing Vanitas's origins to Terra.
 * "Well... Thank you, lad. You know how to put an old man's heart at ease." — when Terra tells him not to blame himself for what happened.
 * "Ah yes. Well, I did my best to contain him the moment he emerged, but..." — discussing Vanitas with Terra.
 * "Vanitas uses the Keyblade to sow seeds of darkness. And now, you see—the worlds teem with his ghastly underlings." — revealing the origins of the Unversed to Terra.
 * "He has no control over the darkness in his heart. The Keyblade is not his to bear. He's an abomination beyond hope of salvation. Lend me your strength, Terra. Right this wrong that I have wrought." — feigning regret over the creation of Vanitas.
 * "What I can tell you about Vanitas amounts to this—his darkness is drawn to the light, which he seeks to disrupt...and then destroy. It stands to reason that he will strike next in the city of light, Radiant Garden." — advising Terra on where to find Vanitas.
 * "What are you doing, Terra? Fight! Never mind me! You must fight! You can't let this ruffian win. Think of your Master, Eraqus—the shame he and your fellow pupils would be forced to bear! Use the Keyblade." — manipulating Terra into fighting Braig.
 * "Well done, Terra. You have taken yet another step forward." — congratulating Terra on his victory against Braig.
 * "Darkness that you channeled." — about Terra's darkness.
 * "Then don't. You could be my pupil. Master Eraqus, you see, is so afraid of darkness that he too has succumbed—not to darkness, but to light. It shines so bright, he forgets that light begets darkness. And Aqua and Ventus, their lights shine too bright. It is only natural that they cast shadows on your heart. Eraqus... He's such a fool! Light and darkness, they are a balance—one that must always be maintained. Terra...you are the one who shows the true Mark of Mastery, but he refuses to see it. And I know why. It is because he fears you. Join me. You and I can do the worlds much greater good, by wielding light and darkness in equal shares." — trying to convince Terra to join him.
 * "See more worlds. Seek out the darkness that upsets the balance. Find Vanitas. And bring an end to him... Master Terra." — sending Terra on his way and naming him master.
 * "Unlikely. A powerful light still lives inside of Terra. You see, people like him...they don't have the power to steal hearts." — conversing with Braig.
 * "We meet again, boy." — meeting Ventus at the Keyblade Graveyard.
 * "Ah yes, so you are starting to realize...what you lost—oh, but not for good. You had to lose in order to find. Now it can all be yours again, if you only reach out and take it. Reclaim the part that left you. Clash with him! Pure light against pure darkness, to forge the ultimate key. The all-powerful χ-blade!" — encouraging Ventus to remember Vanitas.
 * "Not the Keyblades you and I carry. "χ"... A most ancient letter. Some say "kye," but the meaning is the same. Death... A letter that spells endings." — explaining the χ-blade to Ventus.
 * "Correct. Eraqus knows it too. He knows exactly what you are. Haven't you ever wondered? Why he never granted you permission to leave his side, to grow stronger? Eraqus was frightened of you. If you were to learn the truth, realize what you are... He never trusted you. Why else would he keep you within his sight at all times?" — turning Ventus against Master Eraqus.
 * "Go. You can ask the man yourself. Learn the truth, and remember you have a greater purpose!" — sending Ventus into the Lanes Between.
 * "Master Terra. Find me. We must speak at once." — summoning Terra to the Keyblade Graveyard for the second time.
 * "There is no time to lose! I've terrible news. Ventus has stumbled upon the secrets of his origins." — explaining Ventus's emotional turmoil to Terra.
 * "Ventus is on his way home. If you could have seen the fury in his eyes... I'm certain he's capable of anything. I fear the boy may attempt to force the truth out of Eraqus. Master Terra, you must hurry back and see to your friend's safety." — sending Terra to battle Eraqus.
 * "What a sight. Why do you trouble yourself with remorse, Master Terra? The man was bent on doing harm to your friend, his own pupil!" — after defeating Master Eraqus.
 * "You know, at times I find your progress quite striking. But you still fall short. Let all that anger out, my boy. Give your heart over to darkness!" — encouraging Terra's journey into darkness.
 * "Still so blind... Then I will make you see. Come to the place where all Keyblade wielders leave their mark on fate—the Keyblade Graveyard! There you will watch your dear Ventus and Aqua meet their ends, and the last light within you will die!" — encouraging Terra's journey into darkness.
 * "You won't need a home anymore where you're going!" — destroying the Land of Departure.
 * "Behold... These lifeless keys used to be full of power—united with the hearts of their masters. On this barren soil, Keyblades of light and darkness were locked in combat... as a great Keyblade War raged. Countless Keyblade wielders gave up their lives, all in search of one, ultimate key. And it will soon belong to me... χ-blade." — announcing his plan.
 * "Admirably done. I knew this was a journey you could make—over the unseen wall that divides darkness and light. And I was not wrong, Terra!" — congratulating Terra on his progress.
 * "Why, I did him a favor and freed the darkness inside him. Alas, poor Ventus never had the fortitude for such strenuous trials." — explaining his actions against Ventus.
 * "Go take what Ventus owes you. And take Aqua's life." — sending Vanitas away.
 * "You see how powerless you are to save them? Savor that rage and despair. Let it empower you!" — trying to get Terra to succumb to the darkness.
 * "Yes, boy, that's it! More! Let your whole heart blacken with anger!" — as Terra is overwhelmed by darkness.
 * "There, you see? The χ-blade has been forged! And now, Terra, it is time for the final union!" — upon the creation of the χ-blade.
 * "At last, our moment is here. Out with the old and brittle vessel, and in with a younger, stronger new one! I swore I would survive...and be there to see what awaited beyond the Keyblade War! And now it is your darkness that shall be the ark that sustains me!" — taking control of Terra's body.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix

 * "Darkness rules your heart—it gives me control. Muscle and sinew that once obeyed you now rebels against you. How you can remain here at all confounds the mind." — conversing with Terra inside the new Xehanort.
 * "Hmph. Don't even entertain any notions of escaping me, boy. In the end, your heart will be engulfed by mine forever." — threatening Terra.
 * "As I recall, you couldn't even handle your own darkness. How, then, will you triumph over mine?" — insulting Terra.
 * "Oh? So that's how it is, is it? Someone else has set foot in your heart. Eraqus, you sly fox..." — discovering Eraqus has been in Terra's heart.
 * "Brave words, to be sure. But I'm a patient man. We can take as much time as we need to settle this little property dispute. However, know this— You are just one of many roads that I might choose to take. Trust me. I made certain of that." — revealing his intentions.

Young Xehanort

 * "I will be led...wherever it is I am destined to go." — discussing his destiny.
 * "Every Keyblade master is bequeathed a Keyblade of his very own. With the passing of time, as you can imagine, more and more Keyblades were forged to be handed down. But of all the Keyblades in existence, Master Xehanort's is the most ancient. That is my destiny. But it has yet...to become a reality." — explaining Keyblade inheritance and the importance of Master Xehanort's Keyblade.

Young Xehanort

 * "How did you get here? By choice or chance? You cannot control what you're not aware of. This wakeless sleep will be your prison...to wander forever." — meeting Riku in Traverse Town.
 * "Hypocrite. You are the one who has made your heart a prison... Even if you are not the prisoner." — meeting Sora in La Cité des Cloches.
 * "Your best friend is never far." — appearing with Ansem, Seeker of Darkness in Riku's side of La Cité des Cloches.
 * "Still afraid of the dark, I see." — before leaving Riku.
 * "That's what we do. Put the most precious memories in the back of our minds where they're safe. Or in your case, the most precious...hearts?" — appearing in Sora's side of the Grid.
 * "You think this is the realm of dreams, but there, you are mistaken. Data does not dream, cannot dream. This world is real. You haven't the slightest idea where you are—that you have already wandered off the path." — before leaving Sora again.
 * "So easily you sink into the depths of slumber." — appearing in Symphony of Sorcery.
 * "Beautiful world, isn't it? Almost like a dream." — marveling the world within the musical score.
 * "You really haven't caught on? Or are you just assuming it's all part of your little "test"? I'm not part of the dream. And if you thought I was...then you're softer than they say. But...this will all be over soon. Sleep on and we will meet again." — answering Sora's question on why he's following him.
 * "Yes. The boy chosen by the Keyblade—Riku. It was yours first, wasn't it? But you succumbed to the darkness you could not control, and your prize—the Keyblade—passed on to Sora instead. Your mistakes always end up being other people's problems." — reminding Riku of his previous endeavors.
 * "Once again you performed predictably, although on a grander scale than I imagined." — marveling and judging Riku's efforts.
 * "I don't know how you did it, but you really have found a way to trap darkness inside your heart. And a boy who's immune to darkness is of no use to us." — on Riku's darkness.
 * "Your abyss awaits." — before summoning Chernabog.
 * "Come with me." — before dragging Sora deeper into his sleep.
 * "Yes. This was where it started. At this point, I still had no idea that I was talking to myself. He cast away his bodily form just to set me on the appointed path." — talking to Sora as they see a flashback.
 * "That is Xehanort reduced to just a heart—the being you and your friends called "Ansem."" — explaining to Sora who the figure in the brown robe is.
 * "Yes. The point in time that Xigbar mentioned." — as he and Sora see past-Sora run into the Secret Place.
 * "To move through time, you must leave your body behind. Ansem first sent me on my way, and then placed himself here when the time was right. That is what set all these events in motion." — explaining to Sora about Ansem's time travel.
 * "No, not everything. But remember, Ansem possessed Riku and saw his experiences in real time." — when Sora asked him if Ansem could predict everything.
 * "Simple." — about Kairi, who was sent by Terra-Xehanort, being what led Ansem to Sora.
 * "You've been here many times. Your first journey...your voyage through memories...in the datascape...in your dreams. Relived again and again...like déjà vu." — reminding Sora of his visits to Traverse Town.
 * "You just make it too easy. I know you think you've won, but you lost the moment you dived this far in. You're in the deepest pit of slumber, and you've worn yourself down to nothing. There's no returning to the world above." — after Sora defeats Xemnas.
 * "We told you. It was not the Sleeping Keyholes that guided you. They are not the reason you are here. You've been on a path, one we laid out for you. That sigil on your chest is the proof." — explaining to Sora about his path.
 * "See? That sigil, the X, it tells us where you are at all times. You had wondered aloud before—why we kept showing up where you were. It's because we need you, Sora. Or, to be more precise, we need what will be left of you—the thirteenth dark vessel." — when Sora notices the sigil on his chest.
 * "Why was it assured you would come here today? Because I followed my destined path, and I'm here looking at you right now. You can move through time, but time itself is immovable. Today, all of my selves throughout time were meant to gather here, and to welcome you, Sora, as our thirteenth member. These facts cannot be changed." — when Sora asks why.
 * "I have now told you all that I know. We are all here, and what the future holds in store is beyond my sight. I will return to my own time, and grow into the man who becomes all these others. While I know this future now that I have lived it, returning to my own time will erase the memories and experiences I have gained here. Still, my appointed path is now etched in my heart, which will first lead me to seek the outside world." — when Sora asks what is going to happen.
 * "Your heart will sleep forever in the folds of darkness. And your body will be another vessel for me. So light gives way to darkness. Good night, Sora." — before Sora falls asleep.
 * "Hands off my new vessel." — keeping Riku away from Sora.
 * "Yes. We originally had our sights set on you. But, you developed a certain...resistance to darkness. So we did what the Keyblade did, and moved down the list. Roxas... Now, there was a worthy candidate. But, unfortunately, he became too aware of himself, and returned to Sora. Organization XIII's true goal is to divide Xehanort's heart among thirteen vessels. Thanks to you and Sora, we learned not all our candidates were fit for the task. But, we managed to make up the difference. And now, Sora, the thirteenth vessel, is within our grasp." — revealing the Organization's true goals to Riku.
 * "The real Organization XIII." — when the members start appearing.
 * "I am Xehanort from the most distant past. My future self gave me a task—to visit the splintered versions of myself in many worlds, and ensure they gathered here today." — revealing his true identity.
 * "There are restrictions to movement through time. First, you must leave your body behind to do it. Then, there must be a version of you waiting at the destination. Upon arrival, you can only move forward as per the laws of time. And you cannot rewrite the events that are destined to happen." — explaining time travel.
 * "My most future self will arrive soon. Then, time for all of us will return to normal, and I will go back to my era to live the life fate has in store. He can vouch for that." — explaining Master Xehanort's return.
 * "I said, hands off!" — getting possessed by his elderly self and overriding Mickey's Stopza.
 * "Begone." — before beginning the battle with Riku.

Master Xehanort

 * "All of this was decided. My twelve selves would welcome me here on this day, when I would return a complete person. It is the future which lies beyond my sight." — upon taking his place in the real Organization XIII.
 * "In ancient times, people believed that light was a gift from an unseen land by the name of Kingdom Hearts. But Kingdom Hearts was safeguarded by its counterpart, the χ-blade. Warriors vied for that precious light, thus beginning the "Keyblade War." The violent clash shattered the χ-blade into twenty pieces—seven of light, and thirteen of darkness. And the only real Kingdom Hearts was swallowed by the darkness, never to surface again." — telling the story of the Keyblade War.
 * "I once tried to create my own pure light and darkness to forge the χ-blade, but the attempt ended in failure. In my eagerness, I had lost sight of the correct way to achieve my goal. I acted rashly. I can admit that now." — admitting his past mistakes.
 * "Ah, but destiny is never left to chance. I merely guided them to their proper places. The broken boy who failed to be the blade...the misguided master who sacrificed herself for a friend...and the feckless youth who became my new vessel." — responding to Mickey's accusations over changing the destinies of Ventus, Aqua and Terra.
 * "Yes. They were all my doing. I used the evil fairy to find seven pure lights for me, just as I prepared thirteen vessels to fill with pure darkness." — confessing that Ansem and Xemnas's deeds were all to forge the χ-blade.
 * "Yes, he did. That dull, ordinary boy—a Keyblade wielder so unlike any I have ever seen. However, I have not abandoned my ambitions—the seven guardians of light and the thirteen seekers of darkness." — in response to Riku's claims about Sora.
 * "Yes, little king. Perceptive. But Sora and another on your list belong to me now. And that puts you three guardians short. But worry not. All of the pieces are destined to appear. Your seven lights just like my thirteen darknesses, whose final clash will beget the prize I seek— The χ-blade!"
 * "But first, the thirteen darknesses shall be united. All the seats have been filled. And now the last vessel shall bear my heart like the rest!" — beginning to turn Sora into the thirteenth vessel.
 * "We are out of time. Neither the union of light nor darkness has been achieved, and we must all return whence we came. But, the gathering of the seven and thirteen is nigh. Let us finish this at the fated place, once your lights and my darknesses have joined together!" — leaving with the new Organization.

Master Xehanort

 * "I stand here today because of a fated encounter, very many years ago, when I was still a young lad. I never learned who he was, and perhaps I never will. But I see now the truth he spoke of." — reflecting on his meeting with the Master of Masters.
 * "Now we must discuss why we have assembled here today. My incarnations from past times, vessels into which I transferred my heart, my essence, were destroyed. Thus, I was restored to what you see now. For one to completely disappear, their heart and body must be restored to their original form. That is one reason why I distributed my heart into several vessels. Ansem and Xemnas originated from Terra, or rather his young form—and it too was restored. However, my heart has returned to me, while his is yet lost. I decided to fill this hollow vessel with my heart—indeed, the very same heart that previously resided within young Terra." — talking about his vessels.
 * "May your heart be your guiding key."

Young Xehanort
— after having a Heartless take over a Gigas. — before having a Heartless take over Buzz. — explaining why he corrupted Buzz.
 * "I can make it move for you." — first confronting Sora at Galaxy Toys.
 * "I'm so honored you remember me." — when Sora recognizes him.
 * "One heart's shadows fill the emptiness of another. See how they bring him to life? Like Heartless and Nobodies, they fit together."
 * "There's a darkness we are missing and must reclaim. The way hearts connect in this world can provide us with a clue. So we made a copy of the world, and then pulled those hearts apart. I wonder how you'll handle the strain." — explaining why he is meddling in the Toy Box.
 * "Don't let me down." — before departing.
 * "Oh, but you needn't rush off." — after Sora and company reunite with Rex.
 * "I have more to observe. I can't let you leave yet." — talking to Sora.
 * "You would say that, champion of light. Very well, let's skip to the final stage."
 * "I thought I made it clear. I am testing the strength of their bonds. In this world, toys have hearts. And those hearts come from a powerful bond. So what happens when those bonds are stretched to their limit? When they are worlds apart, can cloth and plastic hold on to their hearts? All I needed was a wedge to widen the divide—someone like you to fill them with distrust and doubt. And that chasm you created can be filled with a vast darkness. Witness it for yourself."
 * "Not this time!" — sending Sora into Verum Rex.
 * "Haven't you heard? In this world, you come from a video game. So now, you can watch my experiment from inside that screen. That is...if you manage to find a moment's rest." — before testing Sora in Verum Rex.
 * "Look... Such tremendous darkness. All because he was ripped away from the boy who cares about him most." — talking about Buzz.
 * "What? "Your friends are your power"? Ah... How very true. But if the light of friendship is a form of power...the darkness of being alone is a power...even greater. Darkness is the heart's true nature." — taunting Sora.
 * "Or else what, toy?" — talking to Woody.
 * "No!" — when the darkness around Buzz dissipates.
 * "So, even empty puppets can be given strong hearts. I am going to have to remember that." — after Sora and company rescue Buzz.
 * "But now I know a heart can be placed in the vessel of our choosing. For that, let me give you a parting gift to play with. Find the hearts joined to yours." — before summoning the King of Toys.
 * "And break you is what we shall do. It has been etched." — confronting the guardians of light.
 * "All that gallivanting through the Sleeping Worlds, and yet you learned nothing. Dream by dream, you nearly buried yourself in the dark of sleep. And now you're at it again? The Lich you've been fighting—it's not like other Heartless. It exists to usher hearts down to the depths of darkness. If you chase it, you will condemn your heart to that same abyss." — confronting Sora at San Fransokyo.
 * "What do you think the power of waking is? It's for traversing hearts to reach worlds. Not for traversing worlds to reach hearts. There's a high price to pay for wielding such power foolishly." — warning Sora of using the power of waking.
 * "No. There's no saving you. You've paid the price. And it lies at the bottom of the abyss." — talking to Sora.
 * "I told you. There's a high price to pay for all of this." — upon defeat.
 * "I'll go back to my time, and live out my life. But Sora, you're done now. Your journey ends here." — mocking Sora as he is fading away to his own time.
 * "Good-bye, Sora. Your time...in this world is—" — taunting Sora even further before fading away.

Master Xehanort
— refuting Sora's refusal. — before Sora, Riku, and Mickey fight Ansem, Xemnas, and Young Xehanort. — just before killing Kairi.
 * "Legend has it that darkness once covered the world. We know so little about the Keyblade War—only that it was just the beginning. If ruin brings about creation, what, then, would another Keyblade War bring? When the darkness falls, will we be found worthy of the precious light the legend speaks of?" — confronting the guardians of light.
 * "Today, we join these other wielders and leave our mark on fate. I have waited patiently...but together, we shall unlock the Keyblade War's secrets. Now we forge it. The ultimate key... The χ-blade!" — before creating the Skein of Severance.
 * "Settle down, boy. The thirteen darknesses and seven lights have clashed nine times, yielding these nine keys. We are four short... But those four keys will be produced here and now." — intending on completing the χ-blade.
 * "You forget I plan for every eventuality."
 * "Perhaps. That is...if you survive that long!"
 * "Twelve keys we have now. Leaving just one more! Now, Sora. Darkness and light's final clash." — enticing Sora for the final clash.
 * "You require motivation."
 * "I have done it." — after killing Kairi.
 * "Stopza!" — countering Mickey's Ultima.
 * "Now...the Keyblade War will finally reach its conclusion! The χ-blade is complete. Kingdom Hearts! I call upon your true form. Open now and show me the World to come." — forging the χ-blade and consuming Kingdom Hearts with darkness.
 * "What?!" — after having a portal appear from him.
 * "Of all the places to be sent. Behold, this town... Once a seat of power for all Keyblade wielders. It is the nexus from which all worlds spring. Here, I and my other selves can be one. United...in Scala ad Caelum." — explaining Scala ad Caelum.
 * "We are just getting started." — before fighting Sora.
 * "You thought you could contain me here...knowing all that you do about connections? There is one sky, one destiny!" — summoning the χ-blade and Kingdom Hearts in Scala ad Caelum.
 * "It ends here and now." — using the χ-blade to nearly kill Sora.
 * "Why... How..." — upon defeat.
 * "No, look... You are too late..." — talking to Sora.
 * "A purge... The World will be returned whence it started. The World began in darkness. And from that darkness came light. From the light came the people, and the people had hearts. Evil burgeoned in those hearts, begetting more darkness. And that darkness spread across the World like a plague. The light, the symbol of the World's hope, was devoured by shadow. Leaving nothing but ruin... An utter failure. But, the first light—the light of Kingdom Hearts—it can give us a new start. An empty World, pure and bright..." — explaining his goal to reset the World.
 * "Then whose was it? The World needs someone to stand up and lead. Someone strong, to stop the weak from polluting the World with their endless darkness. Someone to dictate their destiny." — explaining his desire to lead the new world.
 * "You...make me think of an old friend." — realizing Sora's similarities to Eraqus.
 * "You sly fox..." — remembering Eraqus's presence in Terra.
 * "It is too late." — trying to dissuade Eraqus.
 * "No... I can do this." — trying to dissuade Eraqus.
 * "Very well done." — surrendering the χ-blade to Sora.
 * "Yes..." — his last words to Eraqus before passing away.

Master Xehanort
— talking to Sora. — mocking Sora for his failure.
 * "There are two more." — telling Sora there there are two more fragments.
 * "I am the one who hid the fragments of Kairi that you seek. Of course I am here. No matter—did you come alone?"
 * "Are you prepared to pay the ultimate price?" — realizing that Sora has abused the power of waking.
 * "Unfortunately, you're a little too late. It appears you have failed to retrieve Kairi in the time to come. So here you are, once again, in times already past. However, now that the other "you" has arrived, you're doomed to repeat the same fate."
 * "What indeed? You are nearly out of time." — mocking Sora for running out of time.

Master Xehanort

 * "Not so fast, my dear." — meeting Kairi in the Final World.
 * "You're right. I set you adrift in another world and drastically altered the course of your fate. In the end you were destroyed by my hand, paving the way for Sora's disappearance." — confirming that he has drastically altered Kairi's fate.
 * "You've become quite the Keyblade wielder! For a retired master, Yen Sid prepared you remarkably well." — impressed by Kairi's skill.
 * "This world was created from the memories contained within your heart. You seek clues to Sora's whereabouts by using your memories of him to search through your own heart. But there's nothing for you to find here. I'm afraid the answer you seek lies in memories that are long gone." — taunting Kairi about Sora's whereabouts.
 * "Ah, look who joined us. As I thought, your voice can't reach us here. Now I'm certain of where your heart is." — before fighting Sora.
 * "On the day that I sent you out from your world... Do you remember what it is I said to you? Those words hold the answer you seek. I may cause you to suffer, but I am a product of your heart. For that reason, I shall give you your answer." — before transforming into Terra-Xehanort.
