TheEnds of the Earth is aKeychain forTerra's Keyblade that is found inKingdom Hearts II Final Mix,Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, andKingdom Hearts III. Like Terra's other Keyblades, it canFormchange into multiple forms, including a whip, a spinning-cog weapon and a much-larger Keyblade. Terra also uses this Keychain in order to form hisKeyblade Glider andUltima Cannon.
Story[edit]
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep[edit]
Terra's Keyblade develops this form after he chooses Riku to inherit the Keyblade. Terra's Keyblade takes this form once his body is stolen byMaster Xehanort and his armor becomes theLingering Will, although it temporarily returns to itsEarthshaker form in order to rescueAqua in theRealm of Darkness.
Kingdom Hearts II[edit]
The Ends of the Earth returns to the Lingering Will and remains with it, up until the Will is met by and attacksSora.
Kingdom Hearts III[edit]
TheLingering Will continues to wield the Ends of the Earth, and uses its Formchanges to disableTerra-Xehanort at the Keyblade Graveyard.
After Terra retakes control of his body, the Lingering Will and its Ends of the Earth disappear[?], and Terra uses the Earthshaker Keychain instead.
Design[edit]
Being an upgraded version of the Earthshaker, the Ends of the Earth features a longer and more extravagant blade with teeth on both sides at the tip of the blade. The hand guard also elongates to form a wing-like shape of sorts. TheKeychain is a rock fragment similar to the one on the Earthshaker. InKingdom Hearts II Final Mix, it doesn't have a Keychain, as the Keychain had not been designed by the time thatKingdom Hearts II Final Mix was released.[citation needed] InKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, the blade's length appears to be slightly smaller, and the teeth of the blade aren't quite as wide as theKingdom Hearts II Final Mix version.
The Lingering Will canFormchange the Ends of the Earth into a variety of weapons, including a drill-like object for the forward thrust that serves as the combo finisher, a whip that deals less damage than its blade form in exchange for greater speed and range, aKeyblade Glider, a cog-like object, and a Cannon Gun. Unlike when Terra's Ultima Cannon Shotlock is used, however, the resulting blast can be deflected via a well-timed Guard to damage the Lingering Will instead. This leaves it vulnerable to further attacks.
"Ends" can refer to the death or result of something, while "earth" refers to the Latin meaning of Terra's own name. "Bane" is a source of misery.Gaia is a deity in Greek mythology representing the Earth and the mother of the Titans. Her Roman equivalent was named "Terra" or "Tellus". "Gaia" is also arecurring term in theFinal Fantasy series. The term "Ends of the Earth" is also a common colloquialism for extreme effort or will, possibly symbolizing the powerful will that Terra possesses.
