"Like, Is Any of This for Real or Not?" is the secret ending of Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind. Unlike previous secret endings in the series, there are two possible endings, with one being considered the "true ending", that ends with the phase “An Oath to Return”, while the other is a "bad ending".[1] The condition to unlock either ending depends on the outcome of Sora's battle with Yozora in the Secret Episode of Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind.

Synopsis

I've Been Having These Weird Thoughts Lately

This information is based on alternate scenes or materials and is not considered canon within the overall plot of the series.
If Yozora wins the battle, Sora stumbles backwards in shock. Yozora apologizes before telling Sora that he doesn't lose. Sora begins to crystalize, with Yozora vowing to save him. A bright beam of light engulfs Quadratum and transports Yozora into the Final World where he stares at the sky.

Yozora then wakes up in a car and muses wistfully. He wonders with Sora if their fight was real or not before saying that none of this makes any sense.

Like, Is Any of This for Real or Not?

If Sora wins the battle, Yozora stumbles backwards and begins to fade away into light. He muses that his powers aren't needed yet, but when Sora is confused, Yozora simply tells him not to mind before fading away, with a slight smile on his face. A bright beam of light engulfs Quadratum and sends Sora back into the Final World.

Meanwhile, Yozora is woken up in a car by his driver, who calls him "commander" and asks him if "it" is impressive. As Yozora looks outside the passenger window and reflects silently, he and Sora wonder if their fight was real or not before Sora then states that none of this makes any sense to him.

Trivia

  • When Yozora wakes up in the car, it is a shot-for-shot recreation of the opening to the Final Fantasy Versus XIII 2011 trailer. Kingdom Hearts series creator Tetsuya Nomura was originally the head director for Final Fantasy Versus XIII.
  • The name of the cutscene for both endings and Yozora's and Sora's final lines echo Sora's first lines from the opening cinematic of the original Kingdom Hearts.
