He is fought by {{ff|Squall Leonheart|Squall}}'s party as a {{ff|Raijin (Boss)|boss}} alongside Fujin. He retains his battle stance from these fights in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' when several Nobodies attack the simulated Twilight Town, despite not possessing any weapon.

In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', his outfit bears several allusions to his original appearance. His lightning bolt necklace and the bolts on the back of his tank top refer to his namesake and elemental affinity, while the number 8 on his pants may be a reference to the ''Final Fantasy'' installment he appeared in.
