Onion Knight (Dissidia)/Dissidia NT

The Onion Knight is a Warrior of Materia in Dissidia Final Fantasy NT and its arcade version, representing Final Fantasy III. He is a Specialist type.

The Onion Knight's default player name is titled Nameless Boy, and his manikin counterpart is renamed Illusory Youth.

Appearance
The Onion Knight's default appearance is based on the two red Onion Knights in the Famicom version of Final Fantasy III. The first alternate coloration of this is an updated version of his "Luneth" attire in the PSP Dissidia Final Fantasy and Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy games, and is based on the blue Onion Knight in the Famicom version of Final Fantasy III, as well as Luneth's Onion Knight coloration in its 3D remake. The second alternate coloration is based on the green Onion Knight in the Famicom version of Final Fantasy III, and Arc's Onion Knight coloration in its 3D version. It colors his armor green and his hair ginger.

The second alternate coloration, Bladewielder, is based on another of Yoshitaka Amano's "Unnamed Warrior" art, featured in Final Fantasy III. In this costume, he retains his silver hair from the "Slasher" costume, but now dons a thigh-length light blue armor and cape, with a white sash underneath it. The first alternate coloration recolors his armor, cape, and boots a primarily black color with gray accents, and resembles his "Slasher" attire from Dissidia 012. The second alternate coloration recolors his armor jet black, his cape yellow, and his boots dark yellow.

Personality
The Onion Knight appears to be very intelligent and analytical, usually finding solutions to his problems through logic. He thinks more like an adult and dislikes those who treat him like a child, and is shown to be strong-willed, shown when he stands up against the Cloud of Darkness after she offered him to join Chaos. He is also shown to be very protective of Terra, looking after her like a big brother. In reality, however, he is rather unsure of himself, usually using his head to get out of situations regarding him. When Cosmos and Golbez tell the Onion Knight to listen to his heart, he realizes that he doesn't need to use his head to do everything for him.

Equipment
Onion Knight equips swords by default, ninja swords as the Ninja, and staves and the Sage. His staff and ninja swords are wielded by him during EX Skill.

His default weapons are the Onion Sword, Eternity Staff, and Eternity Blades, based on the Unnamed Warrior's weapons from Yoshitaka Amano's Final Fantasy III art. The remaining alternate sets of weapons use original designs for the Onion Knight. The first alternate set of weapons consists of the Serpent Sword, Golem Staff, and Ashura. The second alternate weapon set consists of the Royal Sword, Rune Staff, and Kotetsu. The third consists of the Golden Sword, the Omnirod, and the Kiku-Ichimonji.

Excluding his default staff and blades, all of Onion Knight's weapons can be wielded and equipped in all versions of Final Fantasy III, exclusively for different job classes.

Story
Onion Knight finds himself summoned back to World B, and reunites with everyone in Materia's domain. Confused as to why they have returned, the Onion Knight learns that their purpose is to fight one another so that battle energy can be harnessed to sustain the world's lifeforce. Their briefing is interrupted by Spiritus, and Materia orders them to instead fight against his warriors.

The Onion Knight decides to officially welcome Y'shtola to the battle and offers to be her guide, but is annoyed when Vaan offers to tag along. Before they can move on, a portal appears before them, and the Onion Knight and Vaan chase after Y'shtola who steps through out of curiosity. They find themselves in Midgar, a place that none of them recognise, but speculate that maybe their presence and the memories they carry from their home worlds is what allows this realm to take on their form. They press forward through another portal, and find themselves in Rabanastre.

Here, the three of them encounter Kefka, who is destroying the city out of boredom. Onion Knight introduces him to Y'shtola as a villain he crossed paths with in the previous war, and the three fight him and his Manikin companions. Doing this triggers the planesgorgers to descend upon the realm and consume it, causing the group to flee. They meet up with Terra, Squall, Zidane, and Lightning, and inform them of the planesgorgers' presence. After learning about the resident Eidolons from Terra and Zidane, the two groups return to Materia.

The Onion Knight takes part in the final clash to awaken Shinryu with the other champions, and faces off against Exdeath with Zidane. The two are suddenly caught in one of the Emperor's traps as an ambush, but are soon rescued by Firion. Once Shinryu appears, the Onion Knight assists in slaying him once and for all. With the dragon finally defeated, the Onion Knight and the other warriors each return to their own worlds, leaving behind their essences in the form of crystals for the gods to use in their stead.
