Later, during the final battle at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], Aqua begins hallucinating when faced by the [[Demon Tide]], which she views as a swarm of Anti-Aquas in place of [[Shadow]]s, stunning her in place as the Demon Tide swallows her. Sora manages to purify the fear in her [[heart]], which takes the form of Anti-Aqua, allowing Aqua to face the [[Heartless]] head-on during the second attempt.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind}} | Later, during the final battle at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], Aqua begins hallucinating when faced by the [[Demon Tide]], which she views as a swarm of Anti-Aquas in place of [[Shadow]]s, stunning her in place as the Demon Tide swallows her.

Anti-Aqua is a corrupted version of Aqua. Her hair is a bleached blue, her eyes are yellow, and her dress has darkened and become tattered, with scaly texture appearance.

Anti-Aqua behaves nearly identically to the [[Game:Phantom Aqua|phantom Aqua]] from ''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]''. She begins the fight by activating [[Spellweaver]], and continues to fight in this mode. She usually attacks in tandem with doppelgängers, often firing homing orbs at Sora and performing spiraling attacks. All of these attacks can be guarded. She often teleports across the arena, and sometimes teleports before Sora can attack. When her retaliation point is reached, she often counters with an unblockable lunge. Occasionally, Anti-Aqua will wander across the arena with several doppelgängers, explaining her pain to Sora. While she and the doppelgängers will disappear after a short time, Sora can use [[Thunder]] to instantly expose the real Anti-Aqua. | |||

The first, in which she teleports in the air before firing [[Blizzard]] shards, can be guarded or evaded. The second is the Spellweaver finisher, where she and three of her doppelgängers perform a spinning attack. To escape the attack, Sora can either dodge out of the spiral, or block with a [[Formchange]] that blocks with barriers. | ||
Although her pattern can be challenging, she has low health for the point in the game she is encountered. The recently acquired [[Nano Arms]] Formchange works well against her as it has strong distance closing potential as well as providing access to a Barrier guard. | Although her pattern can be challenging, she has low health for the point in the game she is encountered.
