Kairi: Difference between revisions

When everyone arrives at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], they are attacked by Terra-Xehanort, who knocks out Ventus and Lea. Terra-Xehanort tries to strike Kairi down, but Sora shields her. Donald blasts Terra-Xehanort away with Zettaflare, but collapses. Riku and Kairi then check on an unconscious Lea while Aqua checks on Ventus. A [[Demon Tide]] appears and drags everyone into the giant storm of Heartless.

Kairi remains trapped in the darkness, hoping with all her might for Sora not to fade, allowing him to be sent to [[The Final World]]. Sora uses the [[power of waking]] to save Riku, Lea, Donald, Goofy, Mickey, Aqua, and Ventus; Kairi meets him on his way back to the Keyblade Graveyard. Kairi tells Sora that she believed he wouldn't fade away, and that saved him. Sora then tells Kairi he feels strong with her. Kairi holds Sora's hand and proceeds to take him back to the Keyblade Graveyard to redo their previous fight.  

They once again encounter Terra-Xehanort, but he is intercepted by the [[Lingering Will]], sent by Naminé. In place of Terra-Xehanort, thousands of Heartless, Nobodies and Unversed appear. [[Yen Sid]] appears to light a path for the guardians, who head to face the Organization. Xehanort arrives with his Organization and creates a labyrinth to separate everyone to battle separately.

Kairi and Lea face off against Xion and Saïx. After a while, Sora appears to help. Saïx goes berserk and blows back Kairi and Sora. As he moves to finish them off, Lea stands in the way. The tide swiftly changes when Xion regains her memories and switches sides and Roxas revives as his own person. During the fight, Sora and his friends move in for an attack on Xemnas; after a brief clash, Kairi is weakened alongside Sora with the power of nothingness.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind}} This ultimately allows Xemnas to grab Kairi and take her as a hostage, and he teleports away with her. After the defeat of Ansem, Xemnas, and Young Xehanort, Xehanort summons the unconscious Kairi to his side. Sora tries to rescue her, but Xehanort strikes her with his Keyblade, crystallizing and shattering her body to pieces, thereby angering Sora into the final clash necessary for recreating the [[χ-blade]].

Unbeknownst to the guardians, Xehanort keeps Kairi's heart in seven pieces as his final insurance for his plan, hiding two fragments within Riku and Mickey's hearts, and scattering the other five throughout [[Scala ad Caelum]] when he is unexpectedly sent there. After defeating Xehanort, Sora uses the power of waking in the hopes of saving Kairi. As the rest of the guardians of light fend off the [[Replica Xehanort]]s, Sora assembles all of Kairi's framgents and connects the guardians' hearts to recomplete Kairi. The replicas fuse into a copy of Armored Xehanort and fight Sora and Kairi, but the two are able to vanquish Armored Xehanort.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind}}

Afterwards, Sora takes Kairi to The Final World, where she meets [[Chirithy]]. Sora convinces the Chirithy to go with them to find its lost friend. Sora and Kairi watch the fireworks at [[Disney Castle]], reunite Chirithy with [[Ventus]] at the [[Land of Departure]], watch the sunset at [[Twilight Town]], and help revive [[Naminé]] at [[Radiant Garden]] before returning to the Destiny Islands. They share one last moment at the paopu tree before Sora vanishes from sight.

===Keyblade===

During the events of [[The World That Never Was]]  in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', she receives a Keyblade from Riku, and is able to wield it due to being accidentally bequeathed by Aqua.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]''''', '''Interviewer:''' "Why can Kairi use a Keyblade?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "Because she was touched by Aqua's Keyblade. The Keyblade inheritance ceremony is performed with a Keyblade Master touches someone using a Keyblade. When Kairi was running away from the Unversed in ''Birth by Sleep'' she grabbed Aqua's Keyblade, which performed the ceremony. That is why she is able to use a Keyblade in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' to help Sora." [https://www.khinsider.com/news/BBS-Ultimania-20-Mysteries-Solved-2546 Translation via Lissar].</ref>

In battle, Kairi is effective at gap closing and keeping her enemies in the air. She can toss her Keyblade in a [[Strike Raid]]-esque manner to close gaps between her and her opponent, and can quickly chain these. She can perform two different finishers depending on the start of her combo. If she starts the combo from close range, she does one that involves spinning her Keyblade around her. If Kairi starts her combo her Strike Raid-esque closing attack, her finisher is [[Spiral Bloom]], an attack that has her spin in a corkscrew-like manner. Her combos chain easily, and she can deal heavy damage in a short amount of time.
