Kuja/Other appearances

Dissidia Final Fantasy


Kuja appears as a Warrior of Chaos and stands as the antagonist opposing Zidane.

As the youngest of the warriors serving Chaos, Kuja is looked down on by his peers for his inexperience. Determined to prove himself Kuja concocts several plans to trap the Warriors of Cosmos, particularly focusing on Zidane with the intent to break his spirit with isolation and feelings of powerlessness.

Kuja works alongside Exdeath and Kefka and initially plans to abduct Squall as bait, but when Squall defeats him, he turns his attention to using a fake Crystal to kidnap Zidane directly. Bartz takes the Crystal instead, and Kuja uses him to unwittingly deliver another fake Crystal to Zidane, isolating him from his friends and leaving him to fight Kuja alone.

His alternate outfit is a light blue palette swap based on his artwork by Yoshitaka Amano.

Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy
Kuja reappears as a Warrior of Chaos in the prequel to Dissidia Final Fantasy alongside the other characters, but his story is heavily retconned. Zidane and Kuja have recovered their memories and are on friendly terms. Kuja plots to betray Chaos by leading Zidane, Squall and Bartz to his throne so the three can defeat him and end the war. He also weakens Kefka's control of Terra.

Kefka learns of the plan and appears along with the Emperor and Ultimecia when Kuja meets with Zidane, acting as though Kuja has lured them into a trap. Caught in his lie Kuja plays along to save face and attacks Zidane, Squall and Bartz, allowing them to escape. Kuja is later defeated by Lightning after being goaded to challenge her by Kefka.

Between cycles, Kefka interferes with Kuja's memories, twisting them so Kuja will be loyal to Chaos and act as Zidane's enemy. Infuriated when he learns of his fake memories, Kuja vows to defeat Zidane to demonstrate that memories, true or false, are not needed to prove his worth.

Kuja's second alternate outfit is a monochrome palette swap, meant to reflect his position as an Angel of Death. As a bonus fourth outfit available for download, Kuja wears a gold and purple outfit meant to reflect his time as a noble of Treno.
