(that's not what I said - Aqua is trapped in the Realm of Darkness, where the Kingdom Key D originated from, Terra is in the Realm of Light, and Ven is in Castle Oblivion) |

Prior to the release of ''Final Mix'', which featured [[Birth by sleep (video)|Birth by Sleep]], a secret video continuing ''The Gathering'', there was heavy speculation as to the identities of the three armored figures. Once it was released, Nomura revealed the identities of [[Terra]], [[Ventus]], and [[Aqua]], noting that they had a connection to [[Sora]], [[Riku]], [[Kairi]] and [[Xehanort]], though he refused to specify to avoid spoiling plot points. This scene ultimately occurs in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' ten years before the events of [[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]], where it is followed by a vicious battle between the three warriors and [[Master Xehanort]] and [[Vanitas]]. | Prior to the release of ''Final Mix'', which featured [[Birth by sleep (video)|Birth by Sleep]], a secret video continuing ''The Gathering'', there was heavy speculation as to the identities of the three armored figures.

''The Gathering'' was conceptual. The actual meeting in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] of Terra, Ventus, and Aqua does not feature the three armored. Nomura has said that they were depicted as such in ''The Gathering'' because he did not have final designs worked out for any of them. Additionally, Terra does not stand on a vanishing metal structure, nor do any of the three Keyblade wielders pick up Keyblades associated with Sora, Riku, or Mickey. It is unclear what either of these parts may have been planned to mean. In ''Birth by Sleep'', Terra picks Riku as his successor, Ventus fuses his heart with Sora's, and Aqua accidentally picks Kairi. It is thus possible that the appearance of the [[Kingdom Key]], [[Way to Dawn]], and [[Kingdom Key D]] was meant to symbolize this succession, though the choice of Mickey is not consistent with ''Birth by Sleep'', as he was still wielding the [[Star Seeker]], and the Keyblades are mismatched between the three | ''The Gathering'' was conceptual.
