{{Q|Mickey... I cannot shake the feeling something terrible is about to transpire.|Yen Sid to Mickey.}}
Yen Sid had become aware of the presence of the [[Unversed]] threatening the worlds, just as his former apprentice Mickey had. Mickey returned to Yen Sid to complete his training as a [[Keyblade Master]]. Believing [[Eraqus]] and [[Xehanort]] could use the help of another Master, Yen Sid resumed completing Mickey's training. However, after Mickey failed his first test, Yen Sid told him of feelings of dread he had; something terrible would occur soon. The next day, Yen Sid contacted the [[Land of Departure]] to warn Eraqus of the threat and to send his pupils out to quell the chaos. Mickey decided to assist without permission and stole a [[Star Shard]] to travel the worlds; because Mickey did not fully understand how it worked, Yen Sid remained unable to track him as the shard randomly sent Mickey around the worlds.

Following Vanitas's defeat, Mickey returns with Aqua and a comatose Ventus. Master Yen Sid finds himself unable to sense Ventus's heart and encourages Aqua to believe in their friendship, which serves as the key to bring him home one day. Some time later, Mickey sorrowfully hands in the Star Shard and [[Star Seeker|his Keyblade]], thinking he has failed his Mark of Mastery exam and disgraced his master, and prepares to depart. However, Master Yen Sid gives him back the [[Keyblade]], showing that Mickey, in fact, passed and became a Master.

Yen Sid serves as [[Sora]]'s tutor to what lies ahead of him in his journey. When Sora and company ([[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]]) arrive, he tells them of the enemies that they will face in the near future ([[Heartless]], [[Nobody|Nobodies]], and [[Organization XIII]]). He also returns their [[Gummi Ship]] to them, which he had been safekeeping, and sends them to [[Hollow Bastion]].

After discovering that Sora has the power to save all the lost hearts connected to him, Mickey meets with Yen Sid to discuss their ongoing search for Terra, Ventus, and Aqua. However, Yen Sid shocks Mickey by revealing that the destruction of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]] and [[Xemnas]] has led to the return of [[Xehanort]], and not just a "single one" of him, and which will eventually lead to the return of Master Xehanort. Yen Sid had known that this disaster might come about while he was mentoring Sora, but chose not to disclose it to anyone because leaving Xemnas alive was not an option.{{fact}}<!--cite to the ULTIMANIA, use the actual quote.

[[File:The Mark of Mastery Exam 03 KH3D.png|thumb|200px|Yen Sid prepares Sora and Riku for their Mark of Mastery exam.]]
Yen Sid explains the full history of Master Xehanort to Sora and Riku and puts them through the Mark of Mastery exam by assigning them to awaken several worlds which remained in [[Sleeping Worlds|a state of "deep sleep"]] following Ansem's destruction, and explains numerous facts such as the nature of the [[Dream Eater]]s and residents of the sleeping worlds. However, soon after the exam begins, Yen Sid starts to feel that something is going awry.

However, soon after the exam begins, Yen Sid starts to feel that something is going awry.


Later on, when Mickey, Donald and Goofy depart for Disney Castle to confront Maleficent, Yen Sid surmises that the growing darkness in the worlds due to Master Xehanort's coming return may be the reason Maleficent has become strong enough to resist the [[Cornerstone of Light]]. The trio soon return with the revived [[Lea]], who requests to become a Keyblade wielder. Yen Sid, taken aback, warns Lea of the dangerous path ahead, and has him undergo a magically compressed training session under [[Merlin]] and [[Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather]]. Eventually, when Sora and Riku do not return from the Sleeping Worlds as planned, Yen Sid realizes that Xehanort devised a means to confront the two in the Sleeping Worlds and sprung a trap on them. He allows Mickey to make his way to [[The World That Never Was]] to save their friends, sending Lea, Donald and Goofy after Mickey as back-up.

Mickey and the others eventually bring Sora's comatose body back to the study, where Yen Sid realizes that Master Xehanort was on to them the entire time. When Riku awakens Sora from his slumber, Yen Sid delivers a sincere apology to the both of them for failing to realize the magnitude of Master Xehanort's plans. Though he commends them both for performing admirably, Yen Sid only declares Riku as a Keyblade Master, since he managed to unlock two Keyholes of Sleep, while Sora failed to resist the darkness and ended up in a magical sleep induced by [[Young Xehanort]]. Yen Sid, however, is visibly stunned when Lea finally manages to summon his own Keyblade [[Bond of the Blaze]].

Having realized Master Xehanort's plan to recreate the χ-blade by pitting his [[Real Organization XIII|new Organization XIII]] against the seven Princesses of Heart, Yen Sid devises a plan to counter Xehanort by gathering seven Keyblade wielders of Light to protect the Princesses, and orders Riku to bring [[Kairi]] to him to undergo training with the Keyblade she received from Aqua.

After Sora and the King fail with their initial attempts, Yen Sid advises them on how to continue; Sora travel around the worlds to build up his strength and Mickey to search worlds Aqua went to for a lead. Yen Sid encourages them to find Aqua and continually tells Sora that he cannot help until he regains the [[power of waking]].

Yen Sid is visited by [[Sora]], [[Donald]], [[Goofy]], [[the King]] and [[Riku]]'s return from [[Olympus]] and the [[Dark World]] respectively. Sora reveals that he was not able to find a shortcut to regaining his lost [[power of waking]], while the King reveals that the [[Heartless]] damaged [[Kingdom Key D]] and broke [[Way to the Dawn]]. Yen Sid tasks the King and Riku with delivering new garments to [[Kairi]] and [[Lea]] in the [[Secret Forest]], where they can get new Keyblades from [[Merlin]]. He also gifts Sora with new clothes from [[Flora, Fauna and Merryweather]], explaining that [[Gummiphone|a surprise]] from [[Chip]] and [[Dale]] was included.
 
Both teams later update Yen Sid on their progress; Sora reveals that the Organization is after [[New Seven Hearts|the next generation of princesses of heart]] to in place of them, while the King and Riku have confirmed that Terra is among [[Real Organization XIII|the thirteen seekers of darkness]]. Despite Sora's complaints about wishing to join the search for Aqua, Yen Sid instructs the boy to return to his training, while the King and Riku return to Dark World.
Aqua and [[Ven]] are brought to [[Mysterious Tower]] after their rescues, with Yen Sid happy to see them saf. Yen Sid congratulates the respective teams for their success, instructing the [[Seven Guardians of Light|guardians of light]] to take the night to rest before heading to the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] to face the Organization.-->

After Aqua and Ven are retrieved and Lea and Kairi finish their training, Yen Sid tells them, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Mickey and Riku to spend the night resting; the following day, the [[Seven Guardians of Light|Guardians of Light]] would face the [[Real Organization XIII|Organization]] at the Keyblade Graveyard to put an end to Master Xehanort's plans.

Yen Sid later arrives in the Keyblade Graveyard after a third wave of Heartless, [[Nobodies]] and [[Unversed]] were called to wear down the guardians for the Organization. Using his magic, Yen Sid repels the creatures with a wall of light, allowing the seven guardians to head into battle, while Donald and Goofy stay behind to back him up.

Following Xehanort's defeat, Yen Sid journeys to [[Disney Castle]] with the King, Donald, Goofy and [[Jiminy Cricket|Jiminy]]. They are greeted by [[Minnie]], [[Daisy]], Chip, Dale and [[Pluto]] as fireworks erupt above to celebrate their victory.

One year after Xehanort's defeat, Yen Sid, Merlin, and [[Fairy Godmother]] have been discussing Sora's disappearance and conclude that the answer to finding him should be in the dreams of Riku and "the other two".{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind}}

==Appearance==
After Kairi awakens, Yen Sid is informed that Riku had gone to [[Quadratum]] to find Sora and halts a flustered Mickey from following him, aware that they were going into "uncharted waters" Knowing that Xehanort's clue came from during his time as a researcher, Yen Sid recalls hearing stories of the ancient Keyblade Masters crossing over into another world and believes Xehanort might have studied it.
 
He sends Donald and Goofy traveling to the Land of Departure, Twilight Town, and Radiant Garden to inform their friends about what they discovered; approves of Kairi's idea of continuing her training under Aqua, and tasks Mickey with discovering the connection between the ancient Masters and the new world, suggesting to begin his search in Scala ad Caelum.
 
==Design==
Master Yen Sid is a rather severe-looking old man with long, grey hair, bushy eyebrows, and a long, grey beard that parts down the middle. He wears the famous, conical sorcerer's hat on his head. The hat is blue and decorated with several yellow stars and a yellow crescent moon. ''Fantasia'' shows that the top of Yen Sid's head is bald under the hat, though he never removes it in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. He wears long, billowing blue robes with sky blue lining, with the insides of his robes being dark red. The whites of his eyes are quite large in comparison to his small pupils, something that is further highlighted by the fact that his eyes are often wide open. In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', there are very small changes to the sorcerer's robes, such as the sky blue lining becoming thicker and the robes themselves being a bit wider.

Yen Sid is seen to wear black shoes in his ''Birth by Sleep'' character model. In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', full black boots can be seen for a brief moment when his robe billows from Yen Sid releasing the wall of light magic.

==Abilities==
Master Yen Sid is a master of the magical arts, able to perform powerful magic spells comparable to [[Merlin]]'s. He has shown the ability to teleport, even between worlds, create illusions while training Mickey, and create cosmic smoke to locate a person. He seeks counsel with the stars to predict the conditions of the present and the future, which allows him to gather information about the worlds' condition and to pass it on to his allies.

He has also shown the ability to manipulate and utilize the power of light to an extraordinary extent, as demonstrated at the Keyblade Graveyard, being able to part an immense army of Heartless with a mere gesture of his hands and hold them off long enough to allow the guardians of light to advance through them without any exertion.


He has also shown the ability to manipulate time to an extent, at least as it pertains to the Realm of Sleep, were the laws of time travel, as he is able to revert Sora and Riku back to younger versions of themselves and send them back to a point in time before Destiny Islands was destroyed in that realm for their Mark of Mastery exam.

As a retired Keyblade Master, he presumably still retains the power to use the Keyblade, but does not appear to use it.
