Cloud plays a much more important role in ''Chain of Memories''. It is his plot that runs the course of him being an anti-hero.

Cloud once again appears in the Coliseum, constructed from Sora's memories. Again, he serves as a mercenary for Hades. However, Cloud is working for Hades to regain his lost memories, not to find Sephiroth. Hades promises to help him, but only if Cloud competes in the games and kills Hercules.

Goofy asks where Cloud went, and Sora explains that he went to fight a great battle. When Sora asks Tifa what she will do now, she says that she will just have to keep looking. Tifa then gives Sora the [[Fenrir]] [[Keychain]] as thanks.

Recent screenshots have shown Cloud to appear once again in ''Kingdom Hearts coded'', wearing his ''Kingdom Hearts'' attire. Cloud has been shown to travel and battle Heartless with Sora and Hercules, making ''coded'' his party memeber debut. He also has a brief stand-off with Hercules as in past games; the results are currently unknown.

==Personality==
Cloud seems to be notably stoic and melancholy, very different from his personality in Final Fantasy VII. However, he does possess some similar, even more melancholic, characteristics in Advent Children. He is also seen engaging in playful banter with Leon during the 1,000 Heartless Invasion of Hollow Bastion as well.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', Cloud has an appearance similar to his appearance in Final Fantasy VII. However, he also has a flowing red cape and a metal claw on his left hand, much like Vincent Valentine, a character in Final Fantasy VII, though there are some notable differences. Protruding from his back is one large demonic wing, a counterpart to Sephiroth's angelic one. He also wields the [[finalfantasy:Buster Sword|Buster Sword]], though it is covered in bandages, likely a symbol of his bound self and past. Cloud is always bandaged in one way or another, and they are most likely used to resemble his personality.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Cloud's design changes dramatically, and is dressed in the exact same attire from Advent Children, his hair also having changed to reflect his movie counterpart's. He wields his [[finalfantasy:First Tsurugi|sword]] from Advent Children as well, though bandaged like the Buster Sword. The lines between the six separate swords look less distinct, like the lines were simply engraved on the blade, which may mean it is simply a single sword, although this could just have been to make animation easier.

When fighting, Cloud remains in a "combo" of astonishing and rapid sword and occasionally Thunder-based magic attacks, only fighting normal when he seems to be winning and [[Sora]] or the others are near. His attacks include: the technique "Sonic Rave" where he dashes through his opponents, he can slash his opponents using a powerful combo called ''Cross Slash'', he can use ''Braver'' where he jumps in the air and comes down hard. When enraged, he activates "Omnislash", where he surrounds himself with fire and lightning and starts flying and attacking in a [[Sephiroth]]-like manner. Essentially, his entire moveset consists of his original Limit Breaks.
