}} The {{nihongo|'''Kurt Zisa'''|カート・ジーサ|Kāto Jīsa}} is an Emblem [[Heartless]] that is found in the non-Japanese versions of ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' and in the Japan only ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]''. It is one of the secret bosses in [[Agrabah]].

 

Kurt Zisa emerged from the [[Final Keyhole]] after it was opened by the [[Princesses of Heart]], and went straight to Agrabah. The [[Carpet]] soon encountered it in the desert, and flew back to Aladdin's House, where Sora and his friends find it. It leads them back to the wastelands, where they are attacked by Kurt Zisa. However, after a violent battle Kurt Zisa is defeated.

==Strategy==

Kurt Zisa fights in three forms, each with different attacks.

In stage 1, Kurt Zisa wields two glowing spheres in each of his top hands. [[Magic]] is unusable for the group, even for [[Sora]]. Kurt Zisa uses nothing but physical attacks in this form. The spheres in his hands must be destroyed. Once destroyed, magic will be available to the party again and battle will fall into stage 2.

Kurt Zisa will become stunned and fall into a sitting position and his head will coil out like a snake. Kurt Zisa is vulnerable now and Sora can harm his 5 HP bars. His only attack is weak bite attack. After a while, Kurt Zisa will turn into stage 3.

In stage 3, Kurt Zisa will protect himself with some sort of shield and float. As he is hovering around the arena, he will shoot thunderbolts at the party and make fireballs rise from the ground. Sora can only damage the shield through magic. [[Summon]] and [[Thunder]] spells work well against the shield. If attacked physically, the shield will drop MP balls. When the shield is destroyed, Kurt Zisa will go into stage 2 again. After a while, stage 1 will commence again.

 

 

Since Kurt Zisa is a very difficult boss to defeat, it is suggested to Summon [[Tinker Bell]] right before Magic is unusable as she can keep party members healed and revive Sora once if all his health is drained in battle. Another option is to cast whatever variation of [[Aero]] you have before Silencega is cast so damage from Kurt's attacks are reduced while your magic is sealed. Having Aerora or Aeroga allows you to inflict more damage on Kurt if the shield's in range of Kurt's hands or head, as well.

 

Another strategy to get past his shield mode quickly is to either summon [[Mushu]], [[Genie]] or [[Dumbo]]. Now use Water, Fire, or Showtime to nail through Zisa's shield.

 

 

Kurt will Silence Sora's party as soon as the battle starts. The effect lasts until the two dark orbs in his hands are destroyed. Every other time he "wakes up" he'll summon the orbs and cast Silencega again.

 

If Sora's party gets too far away, kurt can perform a dashing attack toward them. It has small range, but touching the blades can hurt.

*'''Sword Spin'''

Kurt stands still and spins his swords around, deflecting attacks and damaging Sora and friends.

Kurt leaps up and rapidly spins before divebombing Sora. Roll under or jump over the horizontal spins, or roll to the side of the vertical spins.

*'''Neck Whip'''

Kurt flails his neck wildly while defenseless, though the damage dealt is little.

 

*'''Fire Orb'''

Sometimes while he has his anti-physical shield up, a sigil appears on his shield. Large fireballs appear around the arena and hover slowly around, acting as mines.

 

*'''Tornado'''

Kurt raises his arms and summons a tornado around Sora. Roll through it and it will not pursue Sora.

 

*'''Gravity Balls'''

Orbs of dark energy fly out of the ground and bounce around. Kurt can also summon and throw larger balls directly at Sora during this time.

*Kurt Zisa is named after Kurt Zisa of Medford, New York, who won Square's "''KINGDOM HEARTS: Name-In-Game''" contest held two months prior to the game's American release.

*The head of Kurt Zisa looks like the snake head on [[Jafar|Jafar's]] staff.

*Interestingly, the spinning blade attack is identical to the attack of [[Luna Bandit]]s, and both base the attack on Abis Mal's henchmen bandits from the Aladdin television series, (specifically in the episode entitled "Air Feathered Friends," ) which could become tornadoes using magical feathers, and held their swords like Kurt Zisa does.

*In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Xion uses a [[Organization XIII Device]] in Agrabah to absorb Sora's latent memories of that world, she takes on a [[Xion (Boss)#Third Form|form]] which strongly resembles Kurt Zisa.{{-}}
