Sora and Riku view the sunset while thinking about their next adventure.

"Blank Points" is the secret ending of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. It uses game-engine graphics and voice acting, and is the first ending to end with the phase "Reconnect. Kingdom Hearts". In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, it serves as the introductory cutscene for "A Fragmentary Passage".

Synopsis[edit]

Hidden truths

Master Xehanort and Terra dispute over who will control their fused self.

The secret ending opens with Terra and Master Xehanort standing in a black abyss. The two have a faint glow around them, as they are actually their hearts inside the new Xehanort, and are conversing. Master Xehanort wonders aloud how Terra can still remain there after being possessed. Terra responds that it is still his body and heart, and he will eventually expel Master Xehanort. Master Xehanort merely shrugs this off, convinced that Terra will not be able to counter the darkness as he could not handle his own, but Terra reveals that Master Eraqus is residing within him, and no matter what the cost, he will not stop fighting until he has foiled Master Xehanort. The elderly Keyblade Master shows no concern, and gleefully informs Terra that possessing him was merely one of many roads he may choose to take.

Image of their backs, preserved in memory.

Braig ponders if Xehanort is Terra.

The new Xehanort, now with longer hair, brown eyes, and a lab coat, 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 the new 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, but Xehanort still does not answer. Braig pats him on the back and states lightly that it doesn't matter, and that he's "got his back." As the two walk on, Ienzo and Ansem the Wise appear in the hall, holding hands and eating sea-salt ice cream. Just before they turn a corner, Ienzo stops, gaining his master's attention. Ienzo 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

As Aqua wanders through the Realm of Darkness, she stumbles upon a hooded Ansem the Wise.

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, says it is his second time on these shores, and explains that his memory has faded almost completely, "much like the first time," 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 promised she would be there for her friends. Hearing the word "friends," Ansem remembers he had once known a boy who was very similar to her, a boy who was loyal and true to his friends, and traveled across the worlds to safeguard the light.

Ansem explains to Aqua that the worlds were almost swallowed by darkness multiple times, but they were always saved by that boy, wielding his Keyblade. Hearing this, Aqua asks if the boy's name happens to be Terra or Ventus. Ansem tells her that it is neither of them and 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 his conscience and 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, whose heart is connected to so many others, could possibly open the door and save those who are suffering because of him, remarking that they are all waiting to be born anew from sleep. Aqua then requests the boy's name.

All the pieces lie where they fell

Terra and Ventus look at the stars while saying Sora's name.

Naminé is seen in the White Room of the Old Mansion in Twilight Town, finishing a drawing of Sora on the Paopu Tree. She says 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 say 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 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 name of the little boy she met on Destiny Islands. She says Sora's name while looking to the moon on the horizon of the Realm of Darkness.

Where they wait for him...

Sora sits on the Paopu Tree.

Sora is then seen sitting on the Paopu tree on Destiny Islands, holding Mickey's letter from the end of Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts coded, with a look of determination on his face. Riku walks up to him from behind, asking if he has decided yet. Sora responds that he has. Kairi appears and Sora explains to her that he needs to venture out and help the people who need him, because he is who he is now because of them. Kairi smiles and places her Lucky Charm in his hand and tells him, "See you soon."

Reconnect. Kingdom Hearts

-"'''Reconnect. Kingdom Hearts'''" is the secret ending video of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. Unlike past secret endings, however, it uses in-engine-style graphics and utilizes voice acting. Nomura has stated that it could be considered a "true ending", and so another difference would be its true connection to the storyline. The ending hints at an as-of-yet unannounced future game in the [[Kingdom Hearts|''Kingdom Hearts'' series]].

-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. Terra claims Xehanort may have his body, but his heart is still his own. Master Xehanort denies it, stating that Terra's heart will inevitably become nothing more than a part of him. Terra remains confident this won't happen and says Xehanort can do as he pleases. The elderly [[Keyblade]] master deduces that Terra was harboring another heart inside him: [[Master Eraqus]]'s. Terra then states that Xehanort would be better off with his heart, already seeped in darkness. Master Xehanort makes note of Terra's skill, claiming that there was still time to decide who would have control over Eraqus's heart. He then states that a plan is a thing that can only grow, and that "''all the seeds are already sown.''"

Shocked that he doesn't recognize him, Braig immediately deduces that his colleague truly has lost all of his memories.

-Ansem explains it appears as though the worlds will be swallowed by [[Darkness]], and to prevent this the [[Keyblade]] went to that boy. Hearing this, Aqua perks up and asks if the Keyblade wielder's name happens to be Terra or [[Ventus|Ven]]. Ansem shakes his head, indicating that it is neither of the two. He explains further that it had been over a year since he had met the boy. He reflects aloud on how it was through vengeance that he had done many terrible things to him and his friends. He laments that he has the heart of a scientist and that as the boy slept he hid part of his research data within him. Ansem realizes that the boy could possibly open a [[Door_to_Light#Realm_of_Light|certain door]] and "''save those sad souls,''" remarking that everything is born from sleep.

-*In the secret ending Ansem reveals to Aqua he first met Sora a year ago, meaning Ansem met Sora when he was sleeping to regained his memories back in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''. This also indicates that Aqua wandered the [[Realm of Darkness]] for a total of 10 years after the ending of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and she met Ansem the Wise a while Sora, Riku and Kairi read King Mickey's letter in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', however, Aqua appears to be the same age as she was during the events of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. This was later explained in an interview with Tetsuya Nomura, in which he says that time flows differently in the Realm of Darkness, so while ten years pass, it doesn't feel like ten years.
