Black coat: Difference between revisions

The '''Black Coat''' (sometimes called an Organization coat, or incorrectly as a black cloak) is a magical form of clothing that allows the wearer to safely pass through the [[Corridors of Darkness]]. It is most noticeable as the uniform for [[Organization XIII]], but it is first used by [[Master Xehanort]] in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' as an alternative to the Keyblade wielders' traditional [[Armor (Birth by Sleep)|armor]]. Several characters outside of the Organization where this cloak, including [[Riku]], [[King Mickey]], and a [[Moogle]], and it is unknown whether their coats were manifested, or simply taken from the Organization's spares.

The Black Coat's main purpose is to resist the corruption inflicted upon one's heart when they pass through a Corridor of Darkness. It also seems to be able to change shape to fit its wearer, as seen when Xion shifts from her normal form to Sora's.

Somehow, when [[Riku]] and [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]] cast their cloaks off, the black gloves, pants, and boots worn under the cloak disappear. Furthermore, any trace of the wearer's clothing under the coat disappears, such as Riku's collar, jeans, and sneakers in his second attire, or Mickey's trademark white gloves. All these hint that donning the coat transforms whatever clothing the coat's bearer is wearing under it into the black gloves, pants, and boots seen on all the coat's wearers. However, Roxas's sneakers are visible under his cloak in several of his appearances.
