Issues: Ending screens from KHIIFM, coded and KH3D. Also add music samples played during ending screen. And generally write up something better than I can.

The End, also known as the Battle Report in later games, is a phrase used to refer to the ending of a work of fiction. It is included in almost every Kingdom Hearts game to date. Dearly Beloved is often the theme that plays during the ending frame of the game. When a "The End" screen appears, there is usually no need for user input, however, there is user input in later games such as Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, and Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, due to the fact that these savings may have later use.

Kingdom Hearts II & Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

The End screen in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is similar to the cover of the game's Ultimania, with "End" written in a black font at the bottom right while the Kingdom Hearts II version of Dearly Beloved -Reprise- plays.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep & Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix

The Kingdom Hearts version of Dearly Beloved plays while the End screens are shown.

Kingdom Hearts coded & Kingdom Hearts Re:coded

The End screen in Kingdom Hearts Re:coded depicts a jumping Sora sprite that can also be seen in the game's ending sequence, with "The End" written in a blue font at the bottom right corner of the upper screen while Dearly Beloved -Reprise- plays. Kingdom Hearts coded does not have a "The End" screen like in other Kingdom Hearts titles, but instead restarts Sora back at Destiny Islands.[1]

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

The End screen in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance depicts Sora and Riku wielding their Keyblades on the right of the top screen, but if the game mode is critical, it will show the Twilight artwork. On the bottom right, it shows a moving render of the most used Dream Eater. On the left of both screens shows the Battle Report and the bottom left of the bottom screen has "The End" written while Dearly Beloved -Reprise- plays. In Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD, the Battle Report is separated into two pages, due to the lack of dual-screen functionality.

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-

In all the end screens, Aqua's in-game model will be wearing the accessories the player has equipped, if any.

  • Beginner: The end screen is a moving image of Aqua's in-game model staring at Castle of Dreams in the Realm of Darkness.
  • Standard: The end screen is a moving image of Aqua's in-game model standing in front of one of the mirrors at the World Within.
  • Proud and Critical: The end screen is a moving image of Aqua's in-game model sitting on the paopu fruit tree on Destiny Islands.

Kingdom Hearts III

  • Beginner: The end screen is the Kingdom Hearts III box art.
  • Standard: The end screen is artwork used on the cover of the game's Ultimania and the back of the art book.
  • Proud: The end screen is artwork of Sora, Riku, and Kairi created for Kingdom Hearts χ's third anniversary.
  • Critical: The end screen is artwork of Roxas, Lea, Sora, Riku, and Kairi in their Super Groupies collaboration outfits.
  • Re:Mind: While there is no typical "Battle Report" screen, Dearly Beloved plays over the save menu after each of the three episodes.

Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory

The end screen is determined on what difficulty is played during the Dark Domination boss fight.

  • Beginner: The end screen is a collage of different screenshots from the series with musical flair.
  • Standard: The end screen is the box art for the game.
  • Proud: The end screen is the key art from the Kingdom Hearts Concert -First Breath- album.
