The first known use of the black coat is by Master Xehanort, who wears it when he travels from the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] in order to leave his comatose apprentice, Ventus, to expire at his boyhood home, the [[Destiny Islands]].<!--determine whether forgoing the armor in his youth means he actually started using the coat then, or just went without either of them.--> However, he frequently uses the corridors without wearing his coat. | The first known use of the black coat is by Master Xehanort, who wears it when he travels from the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] in order to leave his comatose apprentice, Ventus, to expire at his boyhood home, the [[Destiny Islands]].<!--determine whether forgoing the armor in his youth means he actually started using the coat then, or just went without either of them.--> However, he frequently uses the corridors without wearing his coat. | ||

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]], who has assumed 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 wears their cloaks during multiple clashes with Organization XIII, culminating in the capture of Roxas at [[Dark City]] shortly after his desertion from the Organization.

Mickey eventually discards his coat when he rejoins Sora's group during the [[Battle of 1000 Heartless]], while Riku continues to wear his until shortly after he rejoins his friends at [[The World That Never Was]], when the explosion of Ansem the Wise's [[Kingdom Hearts Encoder]] returns him to his true form. When the group reaches Xemnas, the Superior replaces his black coat with his old Keyblade Armor, and finally with a modified version of the coat itself.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts II}} | Mickey eventually discards his coat when he rejoins Sora's group during the [[Battle of 1000 Heartless]], while Riku continues to wear his until shortly after he rejoins his friends at [[The World That Never Was]], when the explosion of Ansem the Wise's [[Kingdom Hearts Encoder]] returns him to his true form.

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 own pain.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts Re:coded}} | 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.

At the same time, several of the former members of the Organization are revived as humans back in 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, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]]) wear the coats symbolizing their allegiance; Ansem finally dons his coat at the meeting itself. Even the [[Riku Replica]]<!--unlink this if you want-->, who appears before Riku in the depths of Monstro, wears the coat. In the final stages of its plot, the Organization places Sora under the influence of a Nightmare in order to prepare him as its thirteenth member. When Riku attempts to free Sora, the Nightmare manifests as the [[Anti Black Coat]], a shadowy figure appropriately garbed in a black coat with a flesh-like violet tinge.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance}} | At the same time, several of the former members of the Organization are revived as humans back in 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]].
