Cloud, along with Aerith, Tifa, Yuffie, Cid, and Leon, were originally set to appear in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. However, they were removed from the game because, according to Nomura, there were too many plot lines already, and it would have gotten confusing.{{fact}}

Cloud manages to locate Sephiroth in the Coliseum, and both express that they have been searching for each other. Cloud also feels that in order to awaken from his nightmare, he has to defeat his darkness; namely, Sephiroth. Sephiroth tries to convince him to turn to that darkness, but Cloud refuses, and the two battle. The outcome of the battle is unknown.

Sora and company meet up with Cloud again in Hollow Bastion, noting that he has changed somewhat due to Sephiroth's influence. He reveals to Sora that he is seeking to defeat his darkness, which is embodied by Sephiroth. He asks Sora to help him, but also warns him that Sephiroth will try and turn Sora to the darkness. During their meeting, Aerith also speaks to him. Not wanting her to follow him, he promises her that no matter how far he goes, he will always come back to Hollow Bastion. Though Aerith initially feels that he doesn't seem to be so sure, she is, in the end, confident in him.

Cloud aids the residents of Hollow Bastion in defending against the [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless|Heartless invasion]]. He and [[Leon]] are seen at the [[Ravine Trail]], back to back with their swords raised as Heartless surround them. The two banter playfully back and forth, then proceed to fend off the Heartless. However, as he fights, he ends up separated from Leon, and Sephiroth makes his appearance. Cloud expresses his belief that once Sephiroth is defeated, his darkness will go away. However, Sephiroth reminds Cloud of his dark past, though it is not elaborated on. Cloud denies it, claiming that Sephiroth doesn't know him, but the winged being says otherwise. [[Tifa]], who had been searching fervently for Cloud, also arrives. However, her presence causes Cloud to see the light, making him wince. Sephiroth then vanishes, and Cloud runs off before Tifa can get to him.

Cloud is then seen with Leon again, who is worried about Sora, [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] when they are teleported to the Realm of Darkness. Cloud assures him they are strong enough to take care of themselves. As he leaves, he remarks that Sora is "a lucky kid".

==Appearance==
==Design==
Cloud is twenty-two years old at the beginning of ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' and twenty-three during the events of ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
 
In ''Kingdom Hearts'', ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', and ''Kingdom Hearts coded'', 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 [[finalfantasy:Vincent Valentine|Vincent Valentine]], another 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. The wing is not always extended, sometimes only appearing when he uses [[Omnislash]]. He also wields the [[finalfantasy:Buster Sword|Buster Sword]], though it is covered in bandages, possibly as a symbol of his bound self and past.
