When Riku and King Mickey leave the Organization's former stronghold of [[Castle Oblivion]], they are gifted with personalized black coats by the former king of the [[Radiant Garden]], Ansem the Wise, assuming the identity of "[[DiZ]]", so that they are able to safely pass through Corridors of Darkness and evade the Organization.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories}} The pair wear their cloaks through multiple clashes with Organization XIII, culminating in the capture of [[Roxas]] at [[Dark City]] shortly after his desertion from the Organization.

Shortly after the Organization's defeat, King Mickey digitizes [[Jiminy's Journal]] in order to determine the source of a mysterious message that had appeared within it. In the process, the Journal's collective memory comes to reside within [[Data-Riku]], who takes the form of Riku as he was after he left Castle Oblivion, wearing a black coat. Because of his black coat, Data-Sora confuses him with the mysterious figure who appeared in his [[Dive to the Heart]], but he eventually discovers that the figure was in fact [[Data-Roxas]], who had manifested to protect Data-Sora from his hurt.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts Re:coded}}

At the same time, several of the former members of the Organization revive as humans back at the [[Radiant Garden]], and while most of them are wearing the lab coats or uniforms they wore when Terra-Xehanort transformed them into Nobodies, the human who had once been [[Axel]], [[Lea]], continues to wear his black coat as he leaves to seek [[Isa]] and assist [[Sora]]. Meanwhile, Young Xehanort arrives from the past with several of the members of the new, true Organization XIII composed of Xehanort's various incarnations. As they interfere with [[Sora]] and [[Riku]]'s [[Mark of Mastery exam]] and maneuver Sora towards the gathering at [[Where Nothing Gathers]], each of the members bar Master Xehanort and Ansem wear the coats symbolizing their allegiance; Ansem finally dons his coat at the meeting itself.
