The '''Vanitas Remnant'''<!--incorrectly named as "Vanitas's Lingering Spirit" in the Bradygames guide--> is an [[Unversed]] that serves as a secret boss in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]''. It can be fought in the Badlands area of the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] after the player clears the [[Final Episode]]. True to its name, it is a physical manifestation of the remnants of [[Vanitas]]'s thoughts, feelings, and will.

Defeating the Vanitas Remnant in the Japanese version of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' earns the player a Secret Gem. In the North American, PAL, and ''Final Mix'' versions of the game, defeating this boss unlocks the [[Void Gear]] and allows the [[Game:Young Xehanort|Unknown]] to be challenged.<ref name="Dengeki">''[http://www.ff-reunion.net/kh/2010/06/25/khbbs_dengeki_nomura_interview KHBbS: Dengeki PS—Nomura Interview, North American Edition Voice Actors and Added Elements]''</ref>

[[Terra]], [[Ventus]], and [[Aqua]] return on separate occasions to the Badlands, where they find a mysterious sphere of dark energy hovering in front of a nearby rock formation. The [[Keyblade]] wielders accept the challenge the energy sphere offers, and the Vanitas Remnant takes shape before them, just like when the real Vanitas did when he was born. The Unversed attacks, and after its defeat, it disappears back into the darkness.

The Vanitas Remnant wears a smooth, black helmet that has an Unversed emblem on it. The boss also wears a black and white bodysuit, white boots with black soles, and a white half-skirt that has torn, black tips and is held in place by three grey straps. In other words, its appearance is a black-and-white version of the real Vanitas. It also wields a monochrome colored version of Vanitas' [[Void Gear]].

The portal from which the Vanitas Remnant emerges resembles those of the [[Absent Silhouette]]s that appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''. It is purple in coloration, and fragments of black, rocklike material float around it. The symbol that appears in the portal's center resembles the [[Keychain]] of the Void Gear Keyblade.
