"If you are who you say, and it was fate that brought us here, then...my path is clear."

—when Yozora encounters Sora.

Yozora is a main character in the fictional gameVerum Rex, which is featured prominently inToy Box ofKingdom Hearts III.

Development[edit]

In an early prototype of the "Commercial Break" cutscene,Noctis Lucis Caelum's model was used as a placeholder model for Yozora.

Story[edit]

BeforeKingdom Hearts III[edit]

Yozora was friends with the person whose spirit became theNameless Star, and was an inhabitant ofQuadratum.

Kingdom Hearts III[edit]

Yozora first appears in an advertisement trailer forVerum Rex on a television viewed byRex andHamm in Andy's room. DuringSora,Donald, andGoofy's visit to Toy Box, Sora takes the form of a Yozora action figure, causing Rex and Hamm to mistake Sora for Yozora when thanking him for defeating a group ofHeartless that appear in Andy's Room.

Yozora and his teammates are featured prominently in marketing material forVerum Rex displayed in Galaxy Toys.

TheNameless Star tells Sora about Yozora, saying that hisheart has been replaced with that of another's and that he no longer remembers her, but if he did he would miss her.

After the defeat of Master Xehanort, Riku begins having a recurring dream where he is in a large city, where he walks past alarge building. Yozora sits on the edge of one of its towers and watches Riku unseen.Yozora

Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind[edit]

One year after the defeat ofMaster Xehanort,Riku recounts the strange dream he's been having where Yozora observes him from atop a skyscraper inQuadratum.

Yozora readies himself to fight Sora after making his intentions clear.

Elsewhere, Sora wakes up in a nighttime version ofThe Final World and desperately calls out to whoever is listening. When Yozora answers back and appears before him, Sora recognizes him fromVerum Rex and his meeting with theNameless Star, surprised to discover that Yozora is actually a real person. Yozora appears to know exactly who Sora is and claims that he is tasked to "save" him before explaining his current appearance is not his true one, but suddenly questions whether that is truly Sora at all. To Sora's shock, he summons his crossbow and sword and transports them to the 104 building where a fearsome battle ensues.

After Sora wins, Yozora fades away intolight and Sora ends up back in The Final World. Meanwhile, Yozora is woken up in a car by his driver, who addresses Yozora as "commander". As Yozora gazes out of the window, he and Sora wonder if their fight was real or not before Sora says that none of this makes any sense to him.Like, Is Any of This for Real or Not?

Design[edit]

Yozora hasheterochromia iridum, with his left eye being red and his right eye being blue. He has short gray hair with dark roots, which spikes backwards, and a pair of silver stud earrings on each ear. He wears a black, hooded jacket that he keeps unzipped; an asymmetrical amount of gold buttons adorning his plaid-pattern lapels. The jacket has short sleeves; a strip of red studded with an emblem of a skull, crown, and crossed keys on each sleeve; gold buttons, and a checkered pattern at the hems. Underneath, he wears a black sleeveless shirt with a red V-neck. He wears black cropped trousers that are hemmed with the same checkered pattern as the jacket, and kept on by a belt tucked up under his shirt. He has black glovelettes on each hand, and sports black high-top boots.

Yozora has been noted to resemble Sora by Rex, and Riku by Sora, Donald, and Goofy. In the original Japanese version of one of hisGummiphone posts, Sora claims he feels a connection to Yozora precisely because he looks like Riku.^[1] Sora has also admitted that there are similarities between his and Yozora's outfits, making note of both their predominantly black clothes.^[2][3]

He wields a small crossbow-like weapon and a sword with a glowing orange edge. When not in use, his weapons can fold into more compact shapes, with the edge of his sword being nonexistent unless fully deployed. His sword's blade can also transform if he steals Sora's Keyblade to develop "teeth" that resemble theUltima Weapon's filigree.

Yozora's name is derived from the Japanese word for "Night Sky" (夜空, Yozora^?).

Yozora claims that his appearance fromVerum Rex is not his real appearance.

Yozora's entry inJiminy's Journal has his character model facing left to right, compared to the rest of the game's characters models where they all face right to left.

Personality[edit]

Yozora appears calm, cool, and heavily collected, rarely showing any emotion besides a fierce yet quiet determination. He does show a somewhat cocky side, claiming he does not lose if he wins his fight with Sora. Even during his battle with Sora, Yozora shows very little emotion, regardless of the outcome. He only gives a vow that he would "save" Sora should he win and a resignation with a smile should he lose.

Abilities[edit]
