'''Light''' is a force parallel to [[Darkness]], a strong element used in [[Synthesis item|Synthesis items]], and may also be used as an attack in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe. Although often associated with the forces of good, light is not entirely benevolent; for example [[Xemnas]] uses [[Roxas]]'s power over light against [[Sora]] and [[Riku]] in his last stand. Light is also one of the four known realms of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe called the [[Realm of Light]], along with the [[Realm of In Between]], [[Realm of Darkness]] and the [[Realm of Nothingness]].

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', light does not play as much of a role in Sora's game, since the main enemy is [[Organization XIII]], who are not beings of darkness.

The most significant story development about light in the story is Riku's constant struggle throughout the game between him against the darkness in his heart. He tries to shun the darkness and [[Xehanort's Heartless]] out of him, but he cannot do it. Because of this, "Ansem" taunts him that darkness is his destiny. Riku finally experiences an epiphany when he talks with Naminé after being confronted by [[Zexion]], in the guise of Sora, who blinds him with light. Riku finds that darkness is not bad, and he should use it along with light to help defeat his enemies, and give him more power. This changes Riku, and "Ansem", thinking that Riku has turned to the darkness, mockingly tells him that he was right about Riku's destiny. Riku fights "Ansem" and destroys him.

Sora, Roxas, King Mickey, and Riku use the power of light. After Xemnas absorbs the remains of Kingdom Hearts, he uses both the powers of light and darkness in his final battle against Sora and Riku.

===''[[Legendary Warriors Vs. Myotismon]]''===
Our Heroes use the power of light. After Xemnas & Xennas absorbs the remains of Kingdom Hearts, they uses both the powers of light and darkness in theie final battle against our heroes.
Both Palkia-Light and Groudon-Fire have the ability to use light in battle. This is most noticeable in their [[Limit Break]], Event Horizon & Fire Spear, in which the Keyblade is shrouded in light. In their Final Limit, they also release pillars of light. Two other characters, Manaphy-Heat and Mewfive-Omnifire, also have the ability to use light in their Limit Breaks and Final Limits. Manaphy-Heat's weapon is engulfed in light during her Final Limit, and Mewfive-Omnifire's Limit Break releases bursts of light.
Light does not play as much of a role in part of our heroes, since the main enemy is Organization XXX, who are not beings of darkness.
The most significant story development about light in the story is Kabuto-Bats' constant struggle throughout the game between him against the darkness in his heart. He tries to shun the darkness and [[Xehanort's Heartless]] out of him, but he cannot do it. Because of this, "Ansen" taunts him that darkness is his destiny. Kabuto-Bats finally experiences an epiphany when he talks with Naminé after being confronted by [[Zexion]], in the guise of Wolfser-Firedragon, who blinds him with light. Kabuto-Bats finds that darkness is not bad, and he should use it along with light to help defeat his enemies, and give him more power. This changes Kabuto-Bats, and "Ansen", thinking that Kabuto-Bats has turned to the darkness, mockingly tells him that he was right about Kabuto-Bats' destiny. Kabuto-Bats fights "Ansen" and destroys him.
the roles of light and darkness play very typical roles as in most games, with light being the force of "good" and the protagonists, and darkness being an evil, opposite force used by the antagonists. Since the [[Keyblade]] is a light-affiliated weapon and the entire quest is about closing the [[Door to Darkness]] de Core and eliminating the [[Heartless|Nobody-Like]] Heartless, the entire story is very biased in a light direction. One important belief about light is that there is always "a light in the deepest darkness". This plays a role many times in the story, including when & the villains the 9 female guardians of light opens the door to darkness and finds a blinding light inside with [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]]. Even through all of the bias towards light, it is still balanced with a closed [[Door to Light]] and a closed Door to Darkness. There are also the sacred Keyblades, one from the Realm of Light, which is used by our heroes & the 9 female guardians of light, and one from the Realm of Darkness de Core, which is used by King Mickey.
[[Keyblade War|The]] [[Keyblade War|Dark Lord]] reveals to [[Terra|our]] heroes that the Keyblades found in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] are the remnants of Keyblade wielders that fought in the legendary battle known as the [[Keyblade War|The]][[Keyblade War| ]][[Keyblade War|War]][[Keyblade War| of]] [[Keyblade War|the ]][[Keyblade War|10]][[Keyblade War| worlds]]. This war took place between the force of Light and the Darkness. Light is also revealed to be one of the two forces required to create the [[X-Blade]]. The weapon is born from a conflict between equal forces of light and darkness. [[Vanitas|Shadow]] Groudon-Fire, a being of pure darkness, is able to create the X-Blade after battling [[Ventus|Groudon-Fire]], a being of pure light. Groudon-Fire's light is equal to Shadow Groudon-Fire's darkness since Shadow Groudon-Fire is Groudon-Fire's extracted darkness.

Light can also be manipulated into attacks by some beings within the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe with a strong connection to the force, most notably being Sora and his [[Nobody]], Roxas. Similar to members of Organization XIII's usage of their respective elements, these two are able to physically call and wield the element of light. Roxas's light powers, however, are significantly more advanced than Sora's; he is capable of creating spears and force fields out of light. Sora only seems to be capable of using it to augment a select few of his combo finishers, such as [[Explosion]]. However, he also can call to his power of light in his [[Light#Final Form|Final Form]], during which he can use fighting techniques similar to those that Roxas could use.

**In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Sora points his Keyblade straight into the air, which begins glowing. Then, he jumps up and sticks the Keyblade into the ground as a strange symbol and four orbs of light appear around him. He twists his Keyblade into the ground in an unlocking motion as light bursts from the orbs, damaging all enemies in sight.
