I refer to that continued story as Union. This swarm of Shadows in particular has even fueled a number of fan theories surrounding Kingdom Hearts Union X and how it and it's cast will continue to effect the future of the series. Kingdom Hearts: Union (Cross) When the Kingdom Hearts remake was finished ( Unchained ) (Excluding the finale), the game was re-branded into Kingdom Hearts Union (Cross) and the story was continued.

These bundles of heartless took the form of the Demon Tower which Riku fights multiple times, and the sky-filling swarm that attacks Sora both in Twilight Town and in the Keyblade Graveyard. It was also announced that the final chapter of Kingdom Hearts Dark Road will be released in August 2022 as a free update to the Kingdom Hearts Union Dark Road app. The huge numbers is most prevalent in the most recent title Kingdom Hearts 3, not only because the PS4 has allowed for more enemies to appear on screen at once than previous consoles, but because of the Heartless Swarms. This also allows them to collaborate with other enemies, like the similarly hoard-like Soldier Heartless that act like the emblem versions of the low-level Shadows.
Their large numbers also work perfectly together with the ability to sink into the ground, disorienting enemies as they pull focus in an unattackable state while more come to attack from behind. As anyone who's ever played any Kingdom Hearts before would know, Shadows never show up to a fight alone, instead choosing to fight in massive swarms to overwhelm their targets. The story of Kingdom Hearts Union X revolves around how Sora, a boy with magical powers, is transformed into a person who has to fight against Heartless.
