Story
Setzer is the champion of the Struggle competition when the player is playing as Roxas in Twilight Town. After Roxas defeats Hayner and Vivi, he duels Setzer. Setzer asks "rucksack" to throw the match for him, but Roxas refuses. If Roxas wins the Struggle, Setzer leaves the arena quietly, then joins in cheering Roxas as the new champion.
When Sora returns to the real Twilight Town later in the game, Setzer is the second opponent to be fought, accessible after defeating Hayner ten times. Ten victories over Setzer earns the player the right to challenge Seifer.
In Battle
As a Struggle fighter, Setzer has a very simple moveset. He moves quite nimbly and can leap back swiftly to dodge attacks. One of Setzer's three moves is a simple, short-range thrust that can easily be avoided. His other moves are much more powerful. In one, he jumps through the air spinning his bat, hitting a large area. In the other, he stops and kneels down - if attacked, he not only blocks the attack but uses a strong counterattack, knocking his opponent into the air and stealing many orbs from them.
Unlike the other Struggle fighters, Setzer is not at all aggressive in his fighting. The player can easily defeat him by keeping their distance and waiting for Setzer to use an attack, which they can dodge and attack while he is off his guard. Be sure not to attack while Setzer is kneeling to avoid his counterattack.
Trivia
- Setzer's appearance in Kingdom Hearts is criticised by Final Fantasy fans as he is portrayed as an arrogant ladies man. He was similar in the original game, to some extent, but his character has been quite exaggerated.
- Setzer's journal entry is only added after Sora meets him in a Struggle match.
- Setzer is one of the two only Final Fantasy characters to appear in Kingdom Hearts not originally designed by Tetsuya Nomura, who is designed by Final Fantasy's original character designer, Yoshitaka Amano. The other one being Vivi of Final Fantasy IX, who is designed by Toshiyuki Itahana.
