It first appeared in the [[Another side, Another story...|secret ending]] of ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', where [[Roxas]] is shown fighting off a swarm of Neoshadows in front of the Memory's Skyscraper. They cannot be fought in the first prints of ''Kingdom Hearts'', but several of them do appear in the last room of [[End of the World]] in ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix''. The Neoshadow later makes regular appearances in ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'', appearing in [[Castle Oblivion]] during ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'' and nearly all worlds in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. The Neoshadow is more human-like in its body structure. It is stronger and faster than its lesser counterpart, and it is more strategic in combat. In ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'', the Neoshadows are among the most difficult common enemies, working together as a team to defeat [[Sora]]. In ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'', they are less rare and dangerous but are still more difficult to defeat than regular [[Shadow]]s. Interestingly, Neoshadows die differently when they are killed than Shadows do. When Sora kills a regular Shadow, it vanishes into thin air. However, when Sora kills a Neoshadow, it turns into a dark liquid and disappears after a moment.

Journal Entries

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix

A Heartless that appears bringing along many allies. With their powers combined, they try to defeat Sora while, at the same time, reviving fallen comrades, which makes these Heartless experts in teamwork. Leave one alive and it will call new allies, so it's a good idea to stay on your toes until the very end.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories

A nimble Heartless that swims through the shadows.

Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories

An extremely agile Heartless. It dives into shadows before it pops up in front of its enemy and delivers a rolling attack. The Neoshadow moves in the shadows, making it a difficult opponent to fight.

Kingdom Hearts II

It produces a shadow on the ground before attacking. Catch it off guard right after it attacks.

Once it tries to jump and attack, use the reaction command Aerial Dance for a flurry of attacks!

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

A Pureblood Heartless that flows across the ground as a shadow, completely immune to attack.
It may unleash a shockwave as it emerges, so stay on guard.
Block when it charges you to earn a few precious seconds during which you can deal double damage.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

After returning to the World That Never Was in order to reclaim Kingdom Hearts and revitalize Xion, Roxas is attacked by several Neoshadows.

Design

The Neoshadow is more human-like than the Shadow in its body structure. Interestingly, Neoshadows die differently when they are killed, compared to other Pureblood Heartless, such as Shadows. When Sora destroys a normal Pureblood, it evaporates into dark vapor and then dissipates. However, when Sora kills a Neoshadow, it dissolves into liquid shadows, and then vanishes.

Strategy

The Neoshadow is stronger and faster than a Shadow, and is more strategic in combat. In Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, the Neoshadows are among the most difficult common enemies, working together as a team to defeat Sora. In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II, they are less rare and dangerous but are still more difficult to defeat than regular Shadows

Trivia

  • Although the entry in Jiminy's Journal says that their reaction command is Aerial Dance, the reaction command reads "Wind Dance" during battle.
