Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts Re:coded[edit]

Data-Roxas is created in theDatascape made from Jiminy's digitized journal.Data-Sora first encounters him wearing ablack coat in theDive to the Heart, though he does not know Data-Roxas's true identity. He later guesses the figure isData-Riku, but Data-Riku informs him that their first meeting was onDestiny Islands, leaving Data-Sora to wonder who the first figure was.

The mysterious figure appears again inCastle Oblivion, giving Data-Sora aWorld Card for Destiny Islands. After obtaining one of the ending cards, the figure returns to give Data-Sora the World Cards for Traverse Town, Wonderland, Olympus Coliseum, Agrabah and Hollow Bastion. He returns after Data-Sora obtains the first ending card for each world, mocking Data-Sora for forgetting the people that he thought were important, and advising him to just forget everyone in the illusions, as the hurt from not remembering them would be too painful. However, Data-Sora rejects this idea and tells him that he would keep the burden of the hurt on his heart until he remembered his friends again.

After at least one ending card from each world is obtained, the figure challenges Data-Sora into a fight to show him "the true hurt". Following his defeat, the figure reveals himself to be a data version of Roxas, and Data-Sora acknowledges his hurt and their connection. Satisfied that Sora is prepared to take ownership of the hurt inside him in the real world, Data-Roxas gives Data-Sora the final World Card and disappears.

Design[edit]

Data-Roxas takes the form of Roxas in ablack coat with his hood up. He wields data replicas ofOathkeeper & Oblivion.

Personality[edit]

Data-Roxas is solemn, firm, and quick to anger, similar to the real Roxas. However, he is more ruthless than the real Roxas, as he tries to manipulate Data-Sora and tempts him to break the hearts of the people Data-Sora meets in Castle Oblivion, on the grounds that they are simply data that no one else knows about and will quickly be forgotten. When he confronts Data-Sora for the last time and is unable to convince him to let go of his memories, he resorts to physically assaulting Sora in order to show him what real hurt feels like. In the end, this was revealed to be nothing more then an act, as Data-Roxas is created to see if Data-Sora could withstand hurt and willingly vanishes once his mission is completed.
