Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

The cover of the ''Kingdom Hearts Ultimania'' displays the main protagonists of the series, [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck]], [[Goofy]], [[Riku]], and [[Kairi]]. Each of the protagonists featured on the cover are displayed within their own panels. Donald and Goofy's faces are visible within theirs. Kairi is visible from her head to her thighs, her legs continuing beneath Donald's panel. Riku's head and shoulders are displayed within his panel, his waist and a portion of his leg visible beneath Goofy's panel. Sora, who is also the only character on the cover to be black and white, have his eyes closed, and not be encased within a panel, overlaps each character's panel and holds the [[Kingdom Key]] in his hand. The characters, particularly Sora, Riku, and Kairi, are drawn in a more mature fashion compared to the other pieces of art made for the original ''Kingdom Hearts''.
