The Ends of the Earth is a Keychain for Terra's Keyblade that is found in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, and Kingdom Hearts III. Like Terra's other Keyblades, it can Formchange into multiple forms, including a whip, a spinning-cog weapon and a much-larger Keyblade. Terra also uses this Keychain in order to form his Keyblade Glider and Ultima Cannon.
Story[edit]
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep[edit]
Terra's Keyblade develops this form after he chooses Riku to inherit the Keyblade. Terra's Keyblade takes this form once his body is stolen by Master Xehanort and his armor becomes the Lingering Will, although it temporarily returns to its Earthshaker form in order to rescue Aqua in the Realm of Darkness.
Kingdom Hearts II[edit]
The Ends of the Earth returns to the Lingering Will and remains with it, up until the Will is met by and attacks Sora.
Kingdom Hearts III[edit]
The Lingering Will continues to wield the Ends of the Earth, and uses its Formchanges to disable Terra-Xehanort at the Keyblade Graveyard.
After Terra retakes control of his body, the Lingering Will and its Ends of the Earth disappear, and Terra uses the Earthshaker Keychain instead.
Design[edit]
Ends of the Earth has a long, metallic dark brown shaft with beveled brass edges and a dark grey pole running down the center to the tip. It has hammer-like rectangular teeth protruding from both sides of the shaft, which are longer on one side. At the tip is a fan-like half-oval which resembles rays of light. The steel-blue guard is composed of three main segments, and flares outward at the bottom. The Keychain token is a metallic black piece resembling an angular fleur-de-lis with a red diamond in the center. Ends of the Earth resembles an upgraded version of Earthshaker, and is considerably longer, with a more extravagant guard and head.
In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, the Keychain token is absent, and the shaft is longer, with slightly thinner teeth compared to Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.
Ends of the Earth can be Formchanged into a variety of weapons, including a drill-like object, a whip, a cog-like object, and a cannon gun, as well as a Keyblade Glider.
"Ends" can refer to the death or result of something, while "earth" is the Latin meaning of Terra's name. "Ends of the earth" is also a common colloquialism associated with extreme effort or will, possibly symbolizing the powerful will that Terra possesses. "Bane" is a source of ruin. Gaia is a deity in Greek mythology representing the Earth whose Roman equivalent is named "Terra". "Gaia" is also a recurring term in the Final Fantasy series.
