Kingdom Hearts

 * "I've come to see the door to this world." — talking to Sora on Destiny Islands.
 * "This world has been connected. Tied to the darkness...soon to be completely eclipsed." — continues.
 * "You do not yet know what lies beyond the door." — when Sora asks where he came from.
 * "There is so very much to learn. You understand so little." — when Sora notes he's from another world.
 * "A meaningless effort. One who knows nothing can understand nothing." — before disappearing.
 * "For that instant, it was. However, you can become stronger. You showed no fear in stepping through the door to darkness. It held no terror for you. Plunger deeper into the darkness, and your heart will grow even stronger." — talking to Riku.
 * "It's really quite simple. Open yourself to the darkness. That is all. Let your heart, your being, become darkness itself." — before he gives Riku power over darkness.
 * "Now, open your heart, surrender it to the darkness! Become darkness itself!" — after plunging the Keyblade of People's Hearts into Maleficent.
 * "The Heartless were using Maleficent from the beginning. She failed to notice the darkness in her heart eating away at her. A fitting end for such a fool." — talking about the Heartless and Maleficent.
 * "Don't you see yet? The princess's heart is responding. It has been there all along. Kairi's heart rests within you!" — talking to Sora about Kairi's heart inside Sora.
 * "It is I, Ansem, the seeker of darkness." — revealing his true identity.
 * "So, I shall release you now, Princess. Complete the Keyhole with your power. Open the door, lead me into everlasting darkness!" — before he attacks Sora.
 * "So, you have awakened at last, Princess. The Keyhole is now complete. You have served your purpose. But now it's over." — when showing himself to Kairi, Donald and Goofy.
 * "Take a look at this tiny place. To the heart seeking freedom this island is a prison surrounded by water. And so this boy sought to escape from his prison. He sought a way to cross over into other worlds. And he opened his heart to darkness." — before turning into Ansem in Destiny Islands.
 * "Don't bother. Your voice can no longer reach him where he is. His heart belongs again to darkness. All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different. Darkness sprouts within it, grows, consumes it. Such is its nature. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came. You see, darkness is the heart's true essence." — talking to Sora about the darkness.
 * "So, you have come this far and still you understand nothing. Every light must fade, every heart return to darkness!" — before battling Sora.

 * "Supreme darkness..." — when Kingdom Hearts starts spurring darkness.
 * "Light? Bu-but why...?" — before fading away.

 * "You need the darkness. Submit! Bow to the darkness, and bow to me." — talking to Riku about joining the darkness again.
 * "You think some feeble light can save you from the darkness I command? Fool!" — before battling Riku.

 * "Meddlesome king!" — talking to Mickey.
 * "I know you can feel it, Riku—the grip I have on your heart. You've let the darkness in. And all-consuming darkness is what your heart shall become!" — talking to Riku about his darkness.
 * "Very well. Then sink into the dark abyss!" — before battling Riku again.
 * "Oh, I know what you can do. Your skill with darkness has matured. But I do not understand. Why accept darkness and still refuse me? You and I are similar. We both follow where the darkness leads. We exist in the same space—so why deny me? Perhaps some part of your heart still fears the dark?" — talking to Riku about his darkness.
 * "Hardly... finished... I gave you... the dark... My shadow... lingers... I will return!" — before vanishing.

 * "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!" — before departing.
 * "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." — talking to Riku about Riku Replica.
 * "Inside of the card-worlds... you grappled desperately with the darkness. Desperation is fear. You fight the darkness because it is what frightens you." — talking about Riku's fear.
 * "You called out my name. You have been thinking about me...You're afraid of the darkness I command. Good...The more you think of me, the closer my return draws. And when I have awoken, I will take hold..." — after Lexaeus's defeat.
 * "You have let in the darkness, Riku. That means very soon your heart shall become an all-consuming darkness." — talking to Riku about his darkness.
 * "The deeper the darkness runs inside you, the stronger I become. Controlling you is effortless." — talking to Riku about his darkness.
 * "Why in such a hurry? I'll be here at the very heart of darkness...Watching you plunge into the same darkness---inside of you." — after Riku enters the last basement.
 * "I have watched you fight. I know your strength. Your skill with darkness has grown. It has become more mature. And yet, why... Why do you accept the darkness---but still refuse me? You know you and I are similar. We both follow where the darkness leads. Indeed, we are the same, so why? Does some part of your heart still have a fear of the dark?" — talking to Riku about his darkness.
 * "Very well. In that case... You shall sink into the abyss!" — before battling Riku again.
