Let’s be real here, fellow gamers. Anyone who’s played Kingdom Hearts knows just how incredible yet crazy the series can be. What’s not to love about traveling to Disney worlds and protecting them from darkness as spiky-haired anime-esque characters? But with Kingdom Hearts, there is so much mystery surrounding the characters and plot. To this day, there’s still a lot of questions fans have about the series that may or may not be answered in Kingdom Hearts III.

But to get everyone even more excited for the latest game’s upcoming release, we’re going to discuss characters that are overpowered, while mentioning some that are rather weꦕak. I’ll be honest though. Almost every character that has the potentia♐l to wield a Keyblade is on the overpowered list. Well, that’s almost. Not every character that currently wields this mystical weapon is ridiculously strong. Will this list potentially come off to some people as biased? You know, probably, because that’s just writing for you.

However, I’m mainly basing this list off of my own experiences, as well as what battles I’ve seen fans stress themselves over the most. This list also mainly focuses on characters that are original to the Kingdom Hearts series, but there are some on this list that are Disney characters as well. I’m also trying to be factual here. After all, there’s a lot of overpowered characters in Kingdom Hearts for a lot of r🍰easons. O🍸h, and this is also the part where I warn you about spoilers. You aren’t safe here.

25 🉐 Over𝕴powered: Master Xehanort

Somehow, this crazy bald man has managed to be the villain in almost every Kingdom Hearts game. His many incarnations include Terranort, Ansem, and Xemnas. There’s even a younger version of him that serves as an antagonist in Dream Drop Distance. Just having the ability to more or less be the antagonist in every single game is a fe༺at in itself. Also, he’s obviously pretty powerful if he has the ability to possess people and take control of their bodies.

24 Overpowered: Roxas 🐲

Roxas is freakishly overpowered for a lot of reasons. First off, he’s Sora’s Nobody. Second, because of Ventus’ heart being inside Sora, Roxas is able to summon Ventus’ Keyblade during his battle with Riku. Even though he became weak in 358/2 Days due to Xion’s existence, once he regained his full power, he was a force to be reckoned with. It was to the point where Riku had to call on the darkness within him to defeat Roxas. And that’s why Riku ends up looking like Ansem through part of Kingdom Hearts II.

23 🔴 🍎 Weak: Naminé

Naminé is strong, but to a point. S🐟he can conjure dark portals and also mess with Sora’s memories, which really messes things up for a lot of people who care deeply about the beloved protagonist.

She’s very intelligent, but she also possesses no type of weapon to protect herself.

Is there a possibility she could come back with a Keyblade in han🍃d because of her connections to Kairi? Well, I’m not ruling that out as a possibility, but we shall see.

22 🦂 ♎ Overpowered: Riku

Even tho🌊ugh he gives in to the darkness, Riku is actually one of the very few characters we’ve seen overcome it. Terra, Ventus, and Aqua have in some way each been affected by Xehanort himself.

It does make me curious to know if Riku would fall the same way if Xehanort actually possessed him instead of Ansem.

But even besides the darkness, Riku is a strong Keyblade warrior. He even beaℱts Sora in the Mark of Mastery exam in Dream Drop Distance.

21 💜 Overpowered: Sora 🍌

Speaking of protagonist Sora, he’s pretty strong, too. He’s a pretty skilled Keyblade wielder, but he⭕ also ha𓂃s a very powerful heart. It’s so strong that both Kairi’s and Ventus’ hearts sought refuge there.

I mean, don’t you think that says something when two strong characters think your heart is a nice place for them to chill while their bodies are out in limbo?

S💧ora’s not a weak piece of meat like some might think he is. In fact, he’s one of the characters that’s grown significantly in the franchise.

20 ༺ Weak: Xaldin

I g🌳uess I always thought that Xaldin wasn’t really that intimidating. I mean, for the most part, all we really see hiꦦm do is taunt the Beast, as he seems to really focus all his time at Beast’s Castle.

And he’s not a boss battle that I hear a lot of people complain about, so I don’t think he’s that difficult to fight, either.

Maybe people had different e⛦xperiences than I did, but Xaldin. Yeah. What a guy, I guess?

19 Overpowဣered: Aqua

I’m very biased toward Aqua, and I’ll admit that the latest Kingdom Hearts III trailer with her in it ripped me to shreds.

For more than 10 years, Aqua has wandered the Realm of Darkness, waiting for someone to come and rescue her.

I admi✨re Aqua for surviving as long as she had in the realm until she gave in to Xehanort and was possessed by him. Shame on you, Mickey. You left one of the 🎉best girls there for way too long.

18 Overpowered: Axꦬel/Lea

Axel💯 and Lea are basically as powerful as they are because of their interactions with othe𝐆r Keyblade wielders. Lea met Ventus in Radiant Garden and quickly befriended him. Lea’s Nobody counterpart, Axel, was extremely close with Roxas and Xion, both Keyblade wielders.

So basically, his friendliness and closeness to Keyblade wielders granted him the power to have his own Keyblade.

At least, that’s wha🏅t I understand of it. How else would he have the ability to own a Keyblade?

17 Weak: Terra 𒈔

Is Terra strong in the sense of brute strength? I would definitely say so. Is 🌳he pretty weak because he gave in to darkness very easily? Absolutely. I have a very difficult time believing that aಞll it took for him to succumb to darkness was fear of losing and shame.

I guess I feel like there’s a whole lot more to Terra’s story, and I want to know that.

Also, he got possessed by Xehanort. Yeah, Aqua did too, but if Terra hadn’t given in to darkness in the first place, I don’t thﷺink 💎Aqua would be where she is right now.

16 ✱ 🎶 Overpowered: Vanitas

Vanitas is one of the more interesting characters in the series. I’d say he’s pretty powerful due to his origins and abilities. Not only is Vanitas a Keyblade wielder, but he’s also the physical embodiment of the darkness that once resided in Ventus’ heart. He’s also going to be an antagonist in Kingdom Hearts III, so he’s still a force to be reckoned with. Vanitas is also the reason ✅why the Unversed came to be in existence, so because of his dark abilities, he’s pretty overpowered.
