The Anti Black Coat is a Nightmare Dream Eater that appears in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. It is a physical manifestation of the nightmare that Sora experiences while trapped in sleep.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
As Riku tries to wake Sora from his deep sleep, the Anti Black Coat appears. Riku accuses the Anti Black Coat of causing Sora's nightmare, and they engage in battle. Riku emerges victorious and the Anti Black Coat vanishes.

Design
As its name implies, the Anti Black Coat wears a garment of the same name. Its hood is up, showing none of its face save for its disk-shaped red eyes - matching the description of Vanitas prior to Ventus's connection with Sora - signature of a Nightmare Dream Eater. The Coat has magenta flame designs printed on the sleeves and around the bottom coattails. Prior to its fight with Riku, the appears on its back, mirroring the Spirit emblem on the back of Riku's outfit.

Role in Ultima
In Ultima, the Anti Black Coat turns out to be a fragment of Vanitas that was sent by Master Xehanort to guard the boy while he awaited Sora's awakening as a villain for him to control. But once it was destroyed by Riku, it was subsequently abandoned to the darkness for having failed to fulfill its mission. However, the Mad Doctor, who was scouting through the Realm of Darkness in order to look for new villains to recruit to the Circle of the Blot, managed to find the destroyed renmants of the Anti Black Coat, and brought it back to the Wastelands for him to restore it back to full strength...with a little help from the Shadow Blot. The Anti Black Coat is now an agent of the Shadow Blot, and will obey its master to the ends of time itself. It will soon participate in a large battle between the Society and the Circle of the Blot.
