Notes
Vanitas's Remnant is, much like its original role, a Superboss in this game. It is indeed hard to find : first step, you must have finished the Endless Ballade with Terra, Aqua and Ventus. And you should have obtained a Maximal Score (999 Heart Points) in all three tours (Destiny, Dark, Empty) in the Coliseum. This should unlock the Empty Tour.
That was the easy part. Now there is a little chance out of 1000 that you will fight the Vanitas Remnant in every single match of the tour ! Don't worry, when you progress in the Tour, chances will increase, sometimes reaching 5 out of 1000. And if you take some characters like Terra, Aqua or Ventus, the likelihood of him appearing can increase to 1% !
After defeating him (if you succeed) you will receive a special option in the PP Catalog which allows you to fight him as a normal opponent, but you won't be able to control it.
In Battle
Vanitas Remnant is a Veiled Replica, and its style is even trickier than the original Vanitas's. He relies on status effects and spells to disorient the player, and kill him on the spot.
Vanitas only has 1000 HP, but...

Ex Mode
"Vanitas" has no Ex Mode, but only uses the move X-Devastation when he has a full Ex Gauge, which empties afterward. This move is virtually unavoidable if you are close, and will kill you in a painful way no matter what you do.
Abilities
"Vanitas"'s abilities remain unknown, but we know that he has maximum Speed, Double Jump and Super Jump, and also possesses the ability Endure +, which he can uses as many times as he wants.
Battlegen
They are quite rare and valuable, and are needed to obtain some rare items (Including the Void Gear +, one of the rare non-exclusive Level 100 Gears), but you will find even restrictions such as "Successful HP Attack" or "Inflict Break" hard to do.
