'''Darkness''' is a force parallel to [[light]], and is also used in the form of attacks in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe. Darkness has been known to cause the loss of people's hearts if they have delved too deep into it. Slowly suppressed and conquered by darkness's influence, these unfortunate souls become [[Heartless]] and, if their [[heart]] is strong enough, leave behind a body that becomes a [[Nobody]]. Those who follow the path of darkness will usually gain untold power at the expense of something of their former selves. The [[Realm of Darkness]] is also one of the three known realms in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe, along with the [[Realm Between]], and the [[Realm of Light]]. | {{nihongo|'''Darkness'''|闇|yami}} is a force parallel to [[light]], and is also used in the form of attacks in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe.

Though darkness is mostly used by the series's villains and is believed to be pure evil, it is not entirely malevolent; friendly characters are able to use the powers of darkness to some effect, ranging from opening the [[Corridor of Darkness|Corridors of Darkness]] to projecting dark energy blasts (one of [[Riku]]'s [[Ability|abilities]] in ''Kingdom Hearts II''). Additionally, [[Mickey Mouse]], a heroic character, uses the [[Kingdom Key D]], which originates in the Realm of Darkness, and Spirit [[Dream Eaters]] support Sora and [[Riku]] despite them being manifestations of darkness. Nonetheless, different characters have different views on darkness: [[Aqua]] regards it as nothing but "hate and rage," while Mickey insists that light and darkness are interdependent and cannot exist without one another. | Though darkness is mostly used by the series's villains and is believed to be pure evil, it is not entirely malevolent; friendly characters are able to use the powers of darkness to some effect, ranging from opening the [[Corridor of Darkness|Corridors of Darkness]] to projecting dark energy blasts (one of [[Riku]]'s [[Ability|abilities]] in ''Kingdom Hearts II'').
