"The Mark of Mastery" (マスター承認試験,
Masutā Shōnin Shiken) 	March 29, 2012 	
May 13, 2018
 	
The story begins with three Keyblade wielders and close friends—Terra, Aqua, and Ventus (more commonly known as Ven)—training to become Keyblade Masters under Eraqus. To achieve this rank, Keyblade Apprentices must take the Mark of Mastery exam once they come of age. Terra and Aqua take this test together, but while Aqua passes the test, Terra is deemed unfit to become a Keyblade Master due to the abundant darkness in his heart.
Leina is walking outside of town when she encounters Melona and tells her she is going to defeat her for attacking travelers. Melona taunts Leina for being such a weak fighter and says she only wants to fight decent warriors as she is a participant in the Queen's Blade, a tournament held every four years to decide who is going to be the next Queen. Risty is watching the battle from the sidelines, and just as Melona is about to kill Leina, Risty intervenes and saves her life. Soon after, Nanael appears on the battlefield, hoping she finds a potential battle, only to find the place deserted. Risty tends to Leina until she recovers and takes her as a prisoner back to Vance Castle to recover the bounty on her head.
Afterward, a group of mysterious creatures called the Unversed begin to surface in other worlds, and another Keyblade Master, Xehanort, disappears without a trace. Terra is sent to destroy the Unversed and find Master Xehanort, who had earlier encouraged him to embrace the darkness in his heart if he desires the strength to become a Keyblade master. Ven, meanwhile, is goaded into following Terra by Xehanort's mysterious apprentice Vanitas, against Eraqus's wishes. Aqua is dispatched by Eraqus to survey Terra and keep him from falling into darkness, as well as to bring Ventus back to the Land of Departure.
In Japan, Tony Stark supervises the construction of an Arc Station and readies the Iron Man Dio armor to replace his own. However, his test flight for the prototype fails. In a targeting practice, the test pilot becomes brainwashed and attacks his colleagues. Diagnosis reveals the Dio suit was controlled by an outside source. Using his classic Iron Man armor, he neutralizes the Dio suit, then battles and defeats Scorpio, a warrior of the Zodiac order. However, his Dio suit has been stolen and compromised. When Risty arrives at the castle, Claudette appears and arrests Risty for being a thief and imprisons her in the castle's dungeon. However, Risty escapes and steals the Vance Family's heirloom breastplate. She hides in Leina's room and gives Leina the armor, then leaves, encountering Claudette outside and they fight. Meanwhile, Melona appears at Leina's window. They fight, and Leina defeats Melona by stopping her from shooting acid, causing her to explode.

Meanwhile, Risty breaks into where the winnings are kept and steals them. Echidna's snake, Keltan, bites Leina on the chest and poisons her. Leina has passed out and when she comes to Risty is gone.

After leaving his friends, Terra encounters Braig, who claims to be holding Master Xehanort hostage under the Outer Gardens, and demands Terra meet him there. Though it would be highly unlikely that a normal person could take a Keyblade Master hostage, Terra decides to check out the claim as a precaution. Terra arrives at the Purification Facility to see Master Xehanort chained to a column, and Braig challenges Terra to a fight, saying he wants a Keyblade for himself. With encouragement from Master Xehanort, Terra suddenly channels his darkness and scars Braig's face, driving him off. A second blast frees Xehanort, but Terra is dismayed that he failed to keep his darkness in check. 
The JSDF holds Tony in custody due to rumors of his involvement with Zodiac, but Sakurai has other plans for Tony. The Arc Reactor is a meltdown buildup and Zodiac takes over the military base and destroys the parliament centre. Master Xehanort assures him that he channeled the darkness in his heart and that using it is a true step forward. He further explains that the lights of Terra's fellow pupils shine too bright, thus casting shadows on his heart.
Master Xehanort says that the reason that Eraqus did not grant Terra the title of Master is that he is afraid of the power of darkness; in Terra the power is strong, and Eraqus fears darkness so much because he has succumbed to light.

Terra takes up Hades's offer to help him control his darkness by entering the games.
Then Ven meets Phil, who is trying to decide whether to train Hercules or Zack. Phil says that whoever proves himself in the tournament can train under him. Cyclops arrives in the modified SR-71 and picks up Logan and Yukio, sarcastically commenting on Logan’s selfish summonings as if Cyclops were a taxi driver. Their bickering makes Yukio wonder about them, but Logan claims they are best friends, something Cyclops finds surprising. He agrees to fly them to Madripoor and mentions that he noted a plane flying in that direction. Further, he has heard there is supposed to be a major wedding there, something that angers Logan.

He wakes up to a swarm of Unversed attacking the prison, breaks free, and fights the Unversed. He meets Dr. Jumba Jookiba who convinces him to unlock his cell so they can find Experiment 626, who is imprisoned somewhere on the ship. It is revealed that Nyx is enslaved to a tentacle demon lord named Funikura, who has given her magical power, yet often molests her with its tentacles in order to give it to her. Elina realizes that Nyx is a coward without Funikura, and tricks her into relinquishing it, upon which Nyx surrenders.
When they find him and release him, Experiment 626 snatches Terra's Wayfinder. When Terra refers to it as his bond with his friends, Experiment 626 drops it and runs, to Jumba's surprise. To demonstrate that his experiments do not have hearts, Jumba activates Experiment 221 to fight Terra. After the fight, Experiment 221 becomes deactivated, and Experiment 626 returns.

Ventus arrives at the Seacoast and falls asleep while resting. He wakes up when the Lost Boys and Tinker Bell find him, and Tinker Bell tries kicking him awake. When they head off to find a shooting star that Tinker Bell saw, he tags along.
In the meantime, Terra arrives at the crest of the Rainbow Falls, where he finds Captain Hook and Smee being attacked by Unversed. After Terra defeats the Unversed, Hook tells Terra of a young boy who is trying to steal the "light" inside Hook's chest. Terra agrees to help keep the chest safe from Peter Pan, and the three head to the Cove, where they take a boat to Skull Rock. Hook leaves Terra inside the Cavern to guard the chest, while he and Smee go after the shooting star, which Hook hopes to be a treasure.
When Ven, the Lost Boys, and Tinker Bell meet up with Peter Pan at the Jungle Clearing, he and the Lost Boys head off in search of pirate treasure, while Ven and Tinker Bell continue looking for the shooting star. They arrive at the Indian Camp, where they find Mickey's Star Shard, but Hook takes it and kidnaps Tinker Bell. Hook demands that Peter Pan meet him at Mermaid Lagoon and runs off, leaving Ventus to fight off a group of Unversed.
Ymir uses the fact that her bout is being broadcast to advertise the effectiveness of her weapons, especially since Leina is using a Cattleya weapon. Leina emerges victorious, however. Rana is hanging on to Cattleya during her fight with Airi but actually proves to be helpful as Airi cannot bring herself to kill him. Cattleya is winning when she sees that Owen is frozen inside one of the stones in Aldra's "Palace of Grief" and breaks down crying, conceding defeat. Aldra promises to reunite Cattleya with her husband and does so by turning her to stone as well. 
Back at Skull Rock, Peter Pan distracts Terra while the Lost Boys go after Hook's treasure chest. They drop the chest in their escape, and Terra is surprised to find that the chest contains pirate loot. He apologizes and tells Peter where Hook went, and Peter rushes off to save Tinker Bell, leaving the Lost Boys to watch the chest. As Terra leaves, the Boys are attacked by Unversed, and Terra returns to take them out. The Boys hide when Hook returns with the captured Tinker Bell, who Terra frees. Hook runs off at the sound of the Crocodile. Before leaving, Terra tells the Lost Boys to put their precious possessions into the now-empty chest.
Ventus meets up with Peter Pan at the Gully, and they head for the Mermaid Lagoon, where they are fired upon from Hook's ship. Tinker Bell catches up with them during the chaos, and Peter takes her to stop the cannon fire while Ven goes after Hook, who he finds in the Cove. Hook is enraged to discover that Peter survived, and he takes on Ven while the Crocodile circles them in the water. When Hook is defeated, he falls in the water, and the Crocodile chases him away. Peter arrives with the Lost Boys and their empty treasure chest. Slightly suggests they put their own special possessions in the chest, and Peter Pan agrees. Ventus puts his cherished wooden Keyblade in the chest. He takes the recovered Star Shard from Tinker Bell, and it quickly whisks him away to the Mysterious Tower.
Filled with grief, Rana grabs Cattleya's spear and tries to attack Aldra. Aldra is about to turn him to stone too when Airi rescues him and they escape. They are confronted by Risty and the Assassins of the Fang, but when Risty is about to strike Rana down, she remembers the orphans she used to care for and hesitates, allowing them to escape. Rana keeps following Airi around, and she resolves to care for him in Cattleya's stead. When Cattleya does not return, Ymir asks Leina to allow her to care for her sword from now on.

Claudette and Menace are fighting in a desert, giving Menace the upper hand. Her sand attacks confuse Claudette, and she uses cursed attacks to drain Claudette's strength. It begins to rain, however, which weakens her sand attacks, and Claudette emerges victorious. Menace is later turned to stone by Aldra, who says that ancient things should stay in the past.
They soon find out that Captain Hook stole their treasure once again, realizing that it was all junk in the chest he abandons it and leaves. Aqua finds the wooden Keyblade and Peter tells her Ven left it behind. She then senses another presence nearby and runs to the Indian Camp only to be confronted by Vanitas who is holding Ventus's wooden Keyblade. He then tells her that Ventus no longer needs it, and callously snaps it in two, much to Aqua's outrage. He then proceeds to tell her that since Ventus has gotten stronger, he no longer needs her as his so-called "Plan B". Aqua then battles and defeats him in a fight, but passes out soon afterward. She is then awakened by Peter where she talks a bit about Ven and Terra. She departs soon after.
The first round is over, with Risty advancing by some unexplained method, and Nanael advancing because her foe (presumably Melona) did not appear. Nanael is dismayed that no one is placing bets on her and uses all of Melpha's money to place a large bet on herself while in disguise, so as Melpha's roommate, she must subsist on vegetables from her garden. Meanwhile, Risty is pursuing Irma throughout the city. She corners her and is about to kill her when Echidna intervenes and shelters Irma for a while, but Aldra sets the next match so that Irma must fight Risty anyway. Tomoe is also summoned to fight Elina.

May 26, 2019
 	Ven encounters Master Xehanort, who is waiting for his arrival and reveals Ven's destiny to forge the χ-blade. He tells Ven that this is the real reason why he was never allowed to leave home and constantly told to return, out of fear for the χ-blade's creation. Terra sees Ven in the Lanes Between, but before Terra can catch up to him, Master Xehanort calls Terra back to the Keyblade Graveyard.
Airi and Nanael are both desperate to finish the match quickly, as both are starving and begin to fight in earnest. Airi weakens Nanael by causing her to spill more of the sacred milk, which spills onto some of the petrified people in the palace. Airi runs out of time because it has been too long since she has consumed vital force due to her desire not to do so in front of Rana, and Airi disappears. Aldra is visibly disturbed by the spilling of the sacred milk. Rana has lost another guardian, and this time goes to Ymir, deciding to help her fix Leina's sword. 
At one point Aqua and Terra come to Destiny Islands and meet two young boys by the name of Sora and Riku. Aqua sees the strong bond between the two friends and advises Sora to help Riku if he ever falls into darkness; though she initially intends to grant Sora the power to use the Keyblade, she decides against it upon discovering that Terra has already done it for Riku, not wishing to put the two innocent children through the ordeals she and Terra have faced.
Logan and Min are on the run from the Vadhaka statue. Yukio comes to their rescue, then Min blinds Vadhaka. Down in the sewers, Min's allies led by Master Koh offer assistance to Logan, allowing Master Koh and his people to liberate Madripoor.
Xehanort tells him that Ventus intends to confront Master Eraqus about his past and that he is in danger. After learning of Ven's past, he returns to Eraqus, only for his Master to try and destroy him upon realizing Xehanort's plans but Terra returns to the Land of Departure in time to defend Ventus from Eraqus's attack. He throws Ven into a portal to the Lanes Between and, channeling his darkness, defeats Eraqus in battle. Although they both regret their actions, Eraqus is suddenly killed by Xehanort, who encourages Terra to give himself over to darkness. He tells Terra to come to the Keyblade Graveyard to witness the ends of Ventus and Aqua, then unleashes a flood of darkness that ravages the world. Terra watches his world crumble into ruins and looks at his Wayfinder, vowing to Ventus and Aqua that he won't let Xehanort kill them.
After Koh briefs Logan on his origins and past, a transmission informs them that Yukio has been captured by Hideki's men and she will be killed if Logan does not surrender. Rana reveals Cattleya's fate to Ymir and Leina, and Leina says she will save Cattleya. The sacred milk causes the stone Melona was encased in to crack, and she manages to escape. Nanael is then set against Leina, but Nanael is now weak from having spilled the sacred milk, and with her new sword Leina easily defeats her.
He leaves the Land of Departure as it is being destroyed, but he turns back and picks up a disturbance coming from the ruins. A cloaked figure appears and almost immediately challenges Terra to battle. Terra defeats the mysterious figure, who remains silent and gives no explanation for its hostility. It simply vanishes. Count Vance puts a plot in motion to seize the throne for himself.

Once the memories return, Vanitas decides to give Ventus a reason to fight: Vanitas tells Ventus to come to the Keyblade Graveyard, the only place where the χ-blade can be forged, and threatens to kill Terra and Aqua to see if Ventus will continue to "play the pacifist." Left with no choice, Ven leaves in hopes of setting things right, once and for all. 
Claudette and Risty are fighting in the courtyard of Vance Castle just as Vance's army is leaving in his bid to overthrow Aldra by conventional military force. Claudette is initially victorious, knocking out Risty with a lightning bolt. She tries to dissuade the Count from his attempted overthrow, saying that it will only breed war across the continent, and reveals that Lady Maria, Vance's wife, and her adoptive mother, told her to heal Vance's pain if she did not return from the Queen's Blade, and she has been serving loyally to soothe Vance's emotional scars. Vance tries to convince her to serve him again in his bid to overthrow Aldra, but she refuses, and he tells her to leave. Risty then awakens, however, and it is now apparent that she was sent to kill the Count. Claudette manages to stop her but is eventually defeated when Risty collapses a roof on her. As Claudette is teleported back to Gainos, she reconciles with the Count, who then withdraws his army. Aldra calls it a success: though the Count still lives, his coup was thwarted. Claudette warns Leina that Risty has changed. Aqua later encounters an unconscious Mickey drifting in space and takes him to the Mysterious Tower, where she hears of Eraqus's death from Yen Sid and heads to the Keyblade Graveyard to meet up with Terra and Ven.
Logan intends to rescue Yukio and Koh provides him with the information he'll need for his mission on the Dragon Palace later. Meanwhile, it is seen that Nyx has found a job as a barmaid and that Tomoe is training fiercely, now wearing Shizuka's old horned headband. Melona, Nanael, and Melpha discuss the mysterious Aldra, and Melona steals Nanael's sacred milk.

"Xehanort's Ambition" (ゼアノートの野望, Zeanōto no Yabō) 	November 15, 2012 	
June 9, 2019
 	Nanael is drinking milk to drown her sorrows at the bar where Nyx works, and Nyx tells her of the rumor about the horned monster seen in the woods. Nanael thinks it might be Melona, and goes to seek her with Melpha. She instead finds Tomoe in a dangerous mood. Elina returns home after Claudette tells her that she is the only one of the three sisters capable of serving Count Vance anymore, as neither Claudette nor Leina have the will to. Nanael tries to get Leina to ambush Tomoe in the forest but then decides to tell her what they know about Aldra so far. 
Between them, Nanael, Leina, and Ymir determine that Aldra has to be allied with some sort of heavenly creature because the sacred milk actually hurts the divine (and conversely a positive one on the demonic, which is how it was able to revive Melona). Melona spies on the conversation, posing as Lana. Leina is summoned at last to fight Tomoe, and they battle in the ruins of Tomoe's old shrine in Hinomoto. Tomoe's hair has turned white, and Aldra says that she is driven by the ghosts of her friends and the suffering in her heart. Tomoe says that, for Shizuka's sake, she has become a demon who will win at any cost. 
A desperate fight begins with Tomoe having the upper hand, utilizing a lot of powerful techniques. Leina eventually recovers and says that she cannot lose either and that she accepts everything that has happened, including Tomoe's feelings. Tomoe rejects that, replying that one needs to be heartless to be strong. Leina triumphs and Tomoe claims she finally understands her. Ymir uses the fight as advertising for the sword she re-forged and sells many cheap knockoffs of it. Tomoe awakens in the Palace of Grief.
Yukio owns attempt to escape fails, but Logan gets past the automated defenses and releases her. Together, they take the dangerous path called "Hell Road" to get to Hideki.

"Hell Road" (獄道～HELL ROAD) 	November 22, 2012 	
June 16, 2019
 	A short conversation with Ventus takes place there, one where he states that if he does become the χ-blade, he wants the two of them to "put an end to me". Terra and Aqua appear horrified, but Master Xehanort makes an appearance and tells about the history of the Keyblade War. Afterwards, they attack, and a great battle takes place. Xehanort holds Ven over the edge of a cliff where Aqua can see, he freezes the boy and drops him; however, she manages to catch him. 
Tomoe demands to know why Aldra had the Kouma Ninja attack Hinomoto. Aldra says that she has been searching for her sister, and Hinomoto is the only area outside of her rule. She says burning the country to the ground would be worth it to find her sister. Aldra's past is revealed: she and her sister were outcasts for being of mixed demonic descent and were forced to wander. Her sister mysteriously disappeared one day at the edge of a forest, and Aldra, in desperation, found a spirit without a body. 
At first, Hell Road is quiet, but Logan and Yukio drive through spear-trapped sections. Soon, they're forced to continue their course on foot, getting briefly stopped by a pit trap and a gang of swordsmen. The spirit inhabited Aldra's body in return for giving her great power and eternal youth. Aldra offers Tomoe rule over Hinomoto in exchange for her servitude, promising peace for Hinomoto if her sister is found, but Tomoe rejects her offer, remaining loyal to her Empress. Nanael has mysteriously returned to Heaven, and Leina and Risty finally fight. Leina fends off Risty's aggressive style and eventually causes her to hesitate when she shows her the lucky coin she gave her. 
Leina scores a hit and Risty falls. Leina rushes to tend to her, and Risty temporarily breaks free from Aldra's control. Aldra's evil spirit then possesses Risty directly, however, and Risty begins strangling Leina. Leina is about to pass out when Melonaappears in Aldra's throne room and coils up her body, shaking her control over Risty. Leina uses the opening to break free and eventually defeats Risty, shattering Aldra's control over her for good. Melona and Aldra fight, with Melona managing to dump what remains of the sacred milk on Aldra, weakening her, but Aldra manages to drive Melona off anyway. The final battle is set to begin: Leina vs Aldra. While Logan and Yukio get past more dangerous traps and rival gang wars break out, Hideki decides to start his wedding with Mariko earlier and Master Koh's army advances through Hell Road. At the Dragon Palace entrance, Logan is faced with Kikyo once again.

"Destiny is Never Left to Chance" (運命はチャンスに任せられない, Unmei wa Chansu ni Makase Rarenai) 	November 29, 2012 	
June 23, 2019
 	Vanitas battles Terra alongside Master Xehanort, who later commands Vanitas to go after Ventus and Aqua again. Vanitas attacks Aqua from above, knocking her unconscious with a devastating blow, and prepares to impale her in the chest while Ventus lies helpless and frozen. Ventus summons all of his willpower, however, and thaws out of the ice to face Vanitas in battle, defeating him once again. Terra succumbs to his darkness once more and battles the elderly master.
Vanitas compliments Ventus on his skill and finally reveals his face, explaining himself to be the source of all Unversed. Glowing with dark energy, Vanitas then summons several Flood Unversed to restrain Ventus as he proudly explains his plan: to spread the Unversed across the worlds, in hopes of luring Ventus from home and making him strong enough to forge the χ-blade. He then forcefully integrates into him. Master Xehanort uses his Keyblade to extract his own heart and implant it in Terra's body, possessing it.
Kikyo allows Logan to delay their duel due to his code of honor. Hideki sends an upgraded Vadhaka against Logan. Despite a severe crushing against Vadhaka's foot, Logan manages to overthrow Vadhaka and himself against the walls. As Hideki's men fire on Koh's army, Kikyo upholds his honor and disarms them, then he helps Logan destroy Vadhaka after Min is killed in the crossfire.	 	
35	"Unbreakable Ties" (割れないネクタイ, Warenai Nekutai)  	December 6, 2012 	June 30, 2019
 	Nanael makes her report to Heaven, where the Head Angel determines that Aldra has made a pact with Delmore, a fallen angel. 
In a burst of light, Vanitas and Ventus are transported to the Dive to the Heart. Ventus's pillar now hosts a picture of Vanitas alongside his own. Vanitas wields an incomplete version of the χ-blade.
Vanitas claims their union was incomplete, and they only managed to make a fraction of the χ-blade. He then tries to join with Ventus once again, but Ventus refuses, vowing to defeat Vanitas and destroy the χ-blade. The dark apprentice simply laughs, confident in the fact that they both know that if the χ-blade is destroyed, Ventus's heart will vanish forever. However, Ventus rebukes him, saying he will fight for his friends and destroy both him and the χ-blade no matter what, even if the price is his heart, despite Vanitas's mocking of his reason to fight. The two Keyblade wielders then begin a showdown in the Dive to the Heart. Aqua and Mickey in the Keyblade Graveyard are attacked by Ventus-Vanitas, who summons the completed χ-blade and tries to attack Aqua, only for her to be saved by Mickey. He then goes on to explain that he plans to unlock Kingdom Hearts so the worlds can be connected and the legendary Keyblade War can begin again. Aqua, sick of Vanitas's nonsense, confronts him in battle one last time. Logan, Yukio, and Kikyo break into Dragon Palace, with Koh's forces aiding. Koh, however, goes to face Shingen by himself, but Yukio intervenes, though Koh sacrifices his life for Yukio.
Terra's Lingering Will inhabits his discarded Keyblade Armor, challenges Terra-Xehanort, and defeats him. Terra-Xehanort disappears in the light emanating from the χ-blade as it is destroyed by Ventus and Aqua, while the Lingering Will remains, declaring Terra's promise to Ventus and Aqua to set things right. 
Ventus finally lays a finishing blow on Vanitas, who loses his grip on the incomplete χ-blade and helplessly gropes for it as it shatters. Vanitas is destroyed, taking all Unversed in existence with him and relinquishing his control over Ventus. At the same time in the real world, the destruction of Vanitas and the incomplete χ-blade in Ven's Dive caused the completed χ-blade in the real world to revert to its incomplete form and become unstable. This momentarily shocks Ventus-Vanitas, allowing Aqua to overpower him while the χ-blade self-destructs. Unfortunately, it is a pyrrhic victory, as Ventus loses his heart and falls into a coma in the process. With Koh's forces overrunning the place and Logan about to crash the wedding, Hideki holds Mariko at gunpoint. As Hideki takes an unconscious Mariko away, Logan prepares to battle Shingen once again.	 	
36	"The Heart That Fought Back" (反撃した心, Hangeki Shita Kokoro) 	December 13, 2012 	July 7, 2019
 	Mickey finds her and Ventus drifting there and brings them both to Yen Sid's Tower, where it is revealed to her that Ventus has lost his heart. She takes Ven back to the Land of Departure and places his sleeping body on a throne. She takes Eraqus's Keyblade and transforms the world into Castle Oblivion to keep Ventus safe. Afterward, she says her goodbyes to Ven, fondly stroking his hair, and leaves. She then tracks down the possessed Terra to Radiant Garden. 
The final battle begins, with Aldra proving to have overwhelming power. She eventually kicks Leina in the neck, making her collapse. Risty appears at the arena and cheers Leina on, causing her to get back up. Leina shows that she has adopted many of her old foes' techniques as she hits Aldra with Claudette's Thunderclap Strike and Tomoe's Warrior Kick. Just as Leina has the advantage, however, Aldra petrifies her. The crowd jeers, calling her a demon. Logan sustains nasty wounds as he fights Shingen. Kikyo prevents Hideki from using a powerful poison dart gun on Logan and then helps a wounded Yukio. Hideki takes Mariko to the catacombs and reveals it was he who killed his father to take over, then sets the building to self-destruct. After much fighting, Logan and Yukio finally slaughter Shingen, Yukio confessing to killing Asumo before she dies. 
Meanwhile, Rana has invaded the palace, trying to rescue his parents by himself. He is confronted by a Fang Assassin but finds Airi's Scythe which still contains some of Airi's spirit. He hurls the scythe at the Assassin, and Airi snags enough of the Assassin's vital force to reconstitute herself. Nanael overhears the struggle and arrives with more sacred milk, freeing Cattleya and Owen. Melona has been hiding in the palace, though now she is tiny, and Menace is also freed.
Failing to bring Terra back to his senses, Aqua fights and defeats Xehanort; subsequently, Xehanort stabs himself in the chest with his own Keyblade in an attempt to lock Terra out as a horrified Aqua looks on. As Terra-Xehanort falls through a portal into the Realm of Darkness, Aqua dives in after him but quickly realizes that she will be unable to save them both. Instead, Aqua sacrifices her armor and Keyblade to save the dark being that had once been her dear friend, sending him back into the Realm of Light while she remains behind. Aldra flies into a rage at the crowd's jeers and petrifies them all except Claudette, Tomoe, and Risty. Even though Leina is petrified, her spirit causes everyone's weapons to glow: even those far away like Nowa and Echidna, showing the bonds she has formed with all of them. Nanael frees Leina with more sacred milk and her counterattacks. Delmore convinces Aldra to remove the seals on his power, but even with his unsealed power, Leina defeats Aldra, causing Delmore to emerge. It is revealed that Delmore separated Aldra from her sister so that she would despair and seek to use his power for revenge so that he could get her body in return. Nyx sees that some of those petrified have been freed, and finally shows the resolve of her own by freeing Funikura herself. 
Nanael pours more sacred milk on Delmore, then Claudette, Tomoe, and finally, Leina attack, defeating him as Leina emerges victorious. Aldra matures to adulthood in an instant since Delmore has given her eternal youth, and Tomoe tells her that she can seek her sister in Hinomoto herself. Logan pursues Hideki, and then he endures a poison dart but manages to use it against Hideki. However Mariko has been hit by a stray bullet, but they share a final, romantic kiss before she dies. Soon after, Leina takes her solo leave, leaving Claudette as the de facto ruler of Gainos.
Later on, Sora and Riku rest on a beach. When they prepare to go home, Sora suddenly feels sad due to having sensed Ventus's pain from their previous encounter. Riku tells him that maybe someone in another world is in pain and encourages him to reach out with his heart. 
Terra-Xehanort is once more found comatose and amnesiac in Central Square, this time by his co-conspirator Braig, who leads Dilan and their master, Ansem the Wise, to the young man's location. Only able to recall the name "Xehanort", which he treats as his own, Terra-Xehanort is taken back to Ansem's castle, where he is nursed back to health and becomes one of Ansem's best apprentices. Now stuck in the Realm of Darkness, Aqua is attacked by several giant Heartless and decides to just allow them to destroy her, but is saved by Terra and Ventus's Keyblades. She is then reminded of the people she is connected to. With renewed trust in her friends, Aqua looks at her Wayfinder. 
In the post-credits, Aldra walks among cherry trees, viewing the blossoms in bloom alongside Tomoe, who is now blind. Sora successfully calls Ventus, whose heart has been lost after the destruction of Vanitas and the χ-blade. Ven's heart makes its way to Sora's Station in the Dive to the Heart, and Ven asks if it can stay with Sora while he sleeps. Sora, wanting to make Ven better, happily accepts, and Ven's heart merges with him. Logan and Kikyo start the battle that they had postponed.	 	
37	"Dark World"/"Realm of Darkness" (闇の世界, Yami no Sekai) 	December 27, 2012 	July 14, 2019
 	Aqua walks on through the Realm of Darkness but stops when the realm starts to shake. A portal of light appears above her, and a jet of darkness appears flowing directly into the portal. She clutches her Wayfinder to her chest as the light within it starts to fade, and decides to investigate this strange occurrence.
Annelotte arrives at the throne room and is confronted by Sigui. The two battle to a draw, but "Ymir" shows up and threatens Luna Luna, Tarnyang, and Sainyang who are stuck in the jelly in the small moat around the throne. Mirim, the real Ymir, and Eilin arrive to expose Melona, and Sainyang frees her comrades from the jelly using magic so that Luna Luna can grab Melona with her tentacles. Melona reveals her true form and traps Luna Luna, Tarnyang, and Sainyang in jelly once again. Melona then proceeds to explain how everything is going according to the Swamp Witch's plan and even Claudette does not oppose the Swamp Witch. Claudette walks out and charges up her sword, but to Melona's surprise, Claudette blows her up first. 
Blade accompanied by Noah van Helsing and his dog Razor, board a ship run by Captain McRay, Makoto hitching a ride and plotting to kill Blade.

The Mandrurugos flee, taking Matthes' body with them as well as Noah's.	 	
38	A fragmentary passage (フラグメンタリー パッセージ, Furagumentarī Passēji) 	December 27, 2012 	July 21, 2019
 	Because Claudette states that God is no longer needed and claims she is the only supreme being, Sigui switches sides and attacks Claudette with her fire, but Claudette repels the attack. Claudette then charges up lightning in her sword. Seeing an opportunity, Tarnyang and Sainyang try to block the attack with a barrier, but the ensuing explosion destroys the top of the tower. Laila arrives at the palace and finds Ymir and Eilin and they are joined in the stands by mini-Melona to watch the action. Meanwhile, Mirim finds that Tarnyang and Sainyang are not breathing. Sigui jumps in and uses her healing to attempt to revive Tarnyang and Sainyang. Claudette reappears and tosses out some lightning which Mirim tries to block, and the explosion knocks out Sigui and Mirim. Annelotte charges in with her horse Ambrosius and a combined regular/demonic attack, but Claudette defeats her with a swing of her sword. 
Claudette unleashes lightning to finish Annelotte off, but Maria arrives to block the attack. Claudette recognizes Maria, but Maria falls asleep. Claudette hesitates and thinks about striking Maria down, but Annelotte puts herself before Maria. Seemingly struck by the determination in Annelotte's eyes, Claudette retreats and tells Annelotte's group to leave. Tarnyang and Sainyang come to, and Annelotte's gang leaves the castle Annelotte tells her gang to get stronger and regroup in several months to start the real rebellion. Having watched the fight, Melona complains about the anticlimactic ending, but then Laila shoots Melona with Holy Milk and takes Melona back to the heavens for her report. Several months later, Annelotte and the gang (now including Sigui) meet up in the Calibara tribe's sacred ruins. Vante is used to activate the Great Power statue and the ruins rise into what appears to be a fortress to rival the Queen's fortress in Gainos.
