Blank Points

"Blank Points" is the secret ending of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Like other secret endings in the series, the video hints at a future game in the Kingdom Hearts series. It is the first secret ending in the series to use both engine-style graphics and voice actors. As Tetsuya Nomura has stated, unlike the other secret videos, this video could be considered the "true ending" of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.

Synopsis
Hidden truths

The secret ending opens with Terra and Master Xehanort standing in a black abyss. The two have a faint glow around them and are conversing. Xehanort wonders aloud why his control over Terra's body is not yet absolute, seeing that the boy's heart is completely immersed in darkness. Terra states that no matter what happens to him, his heart is still his own. Master Xehanort denies this, stating that a part of Terra's heart is already in his grasp and the rest will follow suit in time. Terra simply smiles and says confidently he's going to win over Xehanort. The elderly Keyblade master deduces that Terra has gone against Master Eraqus and begun to reside within the heart of someone else. Terra states that even if his own heart is consumed and his body becomes darkness itself, regardless of the price, he will achieve this goal. Master Xehanort makes note of Terra's determination and claims there is still time to decide who will have control over the heart. He then states that the seeds have already been sown for his plans.

Image of their backs, preserved in memory. The new Xehanort is seen walking through the corridors of Ansem the Wise's castle. Braig approaches him and attempts to start conversation but finds himself completely rebuked. Shocked at his lacking response, Braig immediately deduces that "Master Xehanort" surely has lost all of his memories. Looking into Xehanort's eyes, he asks precariously if the man standing before him is actually Terra. Xehanort remains silent, but Braig pats him on the back and states lightly that it doesn't matter. As the two walk on, Ienzo and Ansem the Wise appear in the hall, holding hands and eating sea-salt ice cream. Just before he and his young apprentice turn a corner, Ienzo stops, gaining his master's attention. The young apprentice turns his head to see Braig and Xehanort walking away together behind them. Ansem also looks back thoughtfully at the backs of Xehanort and Braig.

Two who were never meant to meet A hooded Ansem the Wise sits in the Dark Margin, wearing a Black Coat. Aqua appears next to him, asks his name and how he ended up in the Dark Realm. Ansem remarks how rarely he has guests and explains his memory has faded almost completely so he has difficulty recalling his past. Aqua sits next to him on the shore and states that she fell into the darkness and has been wandering for a long time, unable to find a way to her original world. Ansem asks why she wants to return, to which Aqua replies she must fulfill a promise made to a friend. Hearing the word "friend," Ansem remembers he had once known a boy who was very similar to her, a boy who is protecting the Light for his friends, the worlds and their denizens.

Ansem explains to Aqua that it appears as though the worlds have become swallowed by Darkness and are now being saved by a boy who wields the Keyblade. Hearing this, Aqua perks up and asks if the boy's name happens to be Terra or Ventus. Ansem fails to recall hearing those names and Aqua takes it to mean it's neither one. He explains further that it has been over a year since he had met the boy. He reflects aloud that through seeking vengeance he did many terrible things to the boy and his friends, causing so many people to suffer. He blames it on the fact he has the heart of a researcher, and reveals that as the boy slept, he hid his research data within him. Ansem realizes that the boy, who connects his heart to others, could possibly open the door and save those who have suffered, remarking that all is born from sleep. Aqua then requests the boy's name.

All the pieces lie where they fell

Naminé is seen in the White Room of the Old Mansion in Twilight Town, finishing a drawing of Sora on the Paopu Tree. She calls Sora's name and the scene changes to Roxas, Xion, and Axel, who are sitting happily together on the Clock Tower with sea-salt ice cream and looking into the sunset. Roxas and Xion also state Sora's name. Ventus is seen sitting asleep at the Land of Departure, where Terra appears next to him. Ven wakes up and the two also say Sora's name while looking at a shooting star. Back at the Dark Margin, Aqua begins to cry tears of joy having heard the boy's name. She too says his name while looking to the moon in the horizon of the Realm of Darkness.

Where they wait for him... Sora is then seen sitting on the bent Paopu tree in the Destiny Islands with a look of determination on his face. Riku walks up to him from behind, asking if he has decided yet. Sora is seen holding King Mickey's letter from the end of Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts coded, saying that he has. Kairi appears and Sora explains to her that there are still sad people out there, so he must leave the islands and reconnect everything back together again. Kairi smiles and places her Lucky Charm in his hand and tells him to hurry back.
