The '''End of the World''' is a [[world]] from ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. It is the last new location to open in the game, becoming available upon locking the [[Final Keyhole]] in [[Hollow Bastion]].
The '''End of the World''' is a [[world]] from ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. It is the last new location to open in the game, upon locking [[Hollow Bastion]].


End of the World is a by-product of all [[Heartless]]'s destructive nature. Upon taking a world's heart, a tiny fragment of what is left of that world is sent drifting through the void of space until it eventually meets and merges with End of the World. It is, in essence, a [[Heartless]] of the destroyed worlds, as well as the location of the [[Kingdom Hearts]] of worlds' hearts. In nature, it can be seen as the opposite of [[The World That Never Was]], which is a similar artificial "[[Nobody]]" world without its own heart.
End of the World is a by-product of all [[Heartless]]'s destructive nature. Although End of the World is the last world, the Heartless are not very numerous as compared to [[Hollow Bastion]], but they are very powerful. Upon taking a world's heart, a tiny fragment of what is left of that world is sent drifting through the void of space until it eventually meets and merges with End of the World. It is, in essence, a [[Heartless]] of the destroyed worlds, as well as the location of [[Kingdom Hearts]] for worlds' hearts. In nature, it can be seen as the opposite of [[The World That Never Was]], which is a similar artificial "[[Nobody]]" world without its own heart.
 
The theme music for End of the World is "End of the World" and the battle theme is "Fragments of Sorrow". Both are arrangements of different segments of "Dive Into the Heart ([[Destati]])", the music used during the [[Dive to the Heart]].

End of the World opens on the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Gate to the Dark}}'''|闇への入口|Yami e no Iriguchi|lit. "Entrance to the Darkness"}}, a cave leading into the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Final Dimension}}'''|果ての魔空|Hate no Makū|lit. "End's Evil Void"}}, which appears to the eye as an empty field of darkness dotted by snowy fragments of land, and showered by infrequent dark orbs being drawn deeper into the world. However, being sucked into one of those orbs reveals the true shape of the area, a snowy wasteland with plentiful outcroppings of crystals, and swarming with powerful Heartless. A vortex at the end of the area leads to a colorful, quiet canyon with Gummi Blocks scattered all over the place, called the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Giant Crevasse}}'''|巨大クレバス|Kyodai Kurebasu}}, which spans several levels, connected by green web-like formations.

At the bottom of the canyon is a passage to the fragmented {{nihongo|'''World Terminus'''|世界の牢獄|Sekai no Rōgoku|lit. "Prison of Worlds"}}, which is a series of pillar-like structures spread over what appears to be a vast empty space. Each pillar contains a green swirl of light which connects to the previous pillar, a blue swirl of light which connects to the next pillar, and a terminal to one the worlds whose Keyholes [[Sora]] can potentially lock, in the form of a beam of roiling darkness. If Sora has locked the respective world's Keyhole, its terminal is violet and the blue swirl of light is present, but if he hasn't, the terminal is blue and the blue swirl of light will not appear until the terminal is completed.


[[File:World Terminus (Art).png|thumb|left|The World Terminus leading to different worlds.]]
[[File:Evil Grounds (Art).png|thumb|left|Bald Mountain.]]
Each terminal takes Sora and his party to a location from its respective world, and each of these contain Heartless native to that world and have all but one exit blocked off. In order, Sora is taken to the [[Third District]] at Traverse Town, the [[Rabbit Hole]] at Wonderland, the [[Coliseum Gates]] at Olympus Coliseum Gates, the [[Bamboo Thicket]] at Deep Jungle, the [[Plaza]] in Agrabah, the [[Calm Depths]] at Atlantica, the [[Torture Chamber]] at Halloween Town, and the [[Galley]] at Neverland. Upon completing each terminal, Sora receives a treasure that symbolizes that world; in the original ''Kingdom Hearts'', these are copies of the accessories he received from each world's respective boss, while in ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'' they are synthesis materials and other items. These terminals remain accessible after completion. As in the original Atlantica and Halloween Town, Sora is transformed into his [[Form:Sora#Atlantica version|merman]] and [[Form:Sora#Halloween Town version|vampire]] forms within the appropriate terminals. However, the Olympus Coliseum terminal has the dusky lighting of the [[Hades Cup]], and the Neverland terminal does not allow Sora free flight.
At the end of the World Terminus is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Evil Grounds}}'''|魔人の地|Majin no Ji|lit. "Land of the Demoniac"}} and a boss battle with [[Chernabog]]. Within the Evil Grounds, Sora has free flight, and must fly up to reach the World Terminus. After defeating Chernabog, the top of Bald Mountain opens, allowing [[Sora]] and his party to fly through the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Crater}}'''|火口|Kakō}}. The Crater runs into the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Volcanic Crater}}'''|噴火口|Funkakō|lit. "Erupting Crater"}}, with entrances to it at the top and bottom of the crater. The Volcanic Crater is a tunnel that extends through four rooms, and contains remnants from worlds that have fallen into darkness - for example, trees and small towers from [[Enchanted Dominion]], the demonic trees and the front door of the Dwarfs' house from [[Dwarf Woodlands]], stone tapestries from [[Castle of Dreams]], and a small glass sphere from [[Beast's Castle]].


However, the final two terminals are outliers. The green terminal for 100 Acre Wood, which is composed of sparkling light, leads to the [[Meadow]] and contains a save point, instead of enemies. When Sora uses this terminal, he dissolves into starlight rather than the dark mist of the other terminals.
[[File:Final Rest (Art).png|thumb|right|The Final Rest area.]]
At the bottom of the mountain is a glowing chamber called the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Linked Worlds}}'''|交じり合う世界|Majiriau Sekai}}, in which Sora and his friends are forced to fight a swarm of Heartless, beginning with a battle against a [[Behemoth]], in order to break open the path to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Final Rest}}'''|最後の休息|Saigo no Kyūsoku}}. This room is the location of the final save point of the game, as well as the door which first appeared in the [[Awakening]] and led to a strange version of Destiny Islands. Just as before, this door leads to the remnants of Destiny Islands, in a room named only {{nihongo|'''{{a|Homecoming}}'''|想い出の島|Omoide no Shima|lit. "Island of Memories"}}. The final boss, [[World of Chaos]], even includes small '''[[Portal of Darkness|Portals of Darkness]]''' as rooms within itself.<!--add info on room where Ansem finds the Door to Darkness: {{nihongo|'''{{a|Final Door}}'''|最後の扉|Saigo no Tobira}}


Meanwhile, the red terminal for Hollow Bastion, which is composed of roaring flames, leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Laboratory}}'''|研究室|Kenkyūshitsu}}, an area which Sora had not previously visited. This lab consists of a short hallway blocked by a large Heartless emblem at one end, with a small room to the side that opens after Sora defeats several Heartless. The side-room contains a large machine with a computer console and five capsules on it hooked up to a spherical window that looks out to space. Said device is known as the [[lifeboat]] in later titles. Red, orange, and black warps in space dot the hall and lab. The computer has a data log for Sora to read:
[[File:Kingdom Hearts is Light 02 KH.png|thumb|The Door to Darkness leading to Kingdom Hearts.]]
:''Ones born of the [[heart]] and [[darkness]], devoid of hearts, ravage all worlds and bring desolation. Seize all hearts and consummate the great heart. All hearts to be one, one heart to encompass all. Realize the destiny: the realm of [[Kingdom Hearts]]. The great darkness sealed within the great heart. Progeny of darkness, come back to the eternal darkness. For the heart of [[light]] shall unseal the path. [[Princesses of Heart|Seven hearts]], [[Final Keyhole|one Keyhole]], one key to the door. The [[Door to Darkness|door of darkness]], tied by two keys. The door to darkness to seal the light. None shall pass but shadows, returning to the darkness. Ones born of the heart and darkness, hunger for every heart until the dark door opens.''
[[File:Darkness Released 01 KHRECOM.png|thumb|left|Riku fighting Ansem in a place similar to the Door to Darkness, constructed from his memories.]]
 
In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', Riku's final battle against Ansem takes place in a location that resembles that of the Door to Darkness.-->
After reading the message, Sora is once again attacked by Heartless. Once Sora completes the terminal, it vanishes and is replaced by a hole, rendering the Laboratory inaccessible.
 
[[File:Evil Grounds (Art).png|thumb|right|Bald Mountain where Chernabog resides.]]
Jumping into the hole will lead Sora down to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Evil Grounds}}'''|魔人の地|Majin no Ji|lit. "Land of the Demoniac"}} and a boss battle with [[Chernabog]]. Within the Evil Grounds, Sora has free flight, and must fly up to reach the World Terminus. After defeating Chernabog, the top of Bald Mountain opens, allowing Sora and his party to fly through the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Crater}}'''|火口|Kakō}}. The Crater runs into the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Volcanic Crater}}'''|噴火口|Funkakō|lit. "Erupting Crater"}}, with entrances to it at the top and bottom of the crater. The Volcanic Crater is a tunnel that extends through four rooms, and contains remnants from worlds that have fallen into darkness - for example, trees and small towers from [[Enchanted Dominion]], the demonic trees and the front door of the Dwarfs' house from [[Dwarf Woodlands]], stone tapestries from [[Castle of Dreams]], and a small glass sphere from [[Beast's Castle]].
 
[[File:Final Rest (Art).png|thumb|left|Artwork of the Final Rest.]]
At the bottom of the mountain is a glowing chamber called the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Linked Worlds}}'''|交じり合う世界|Majiriau Sekai}}, in which Sora and his friends are forced to fight a swarm of Heartless, beginning with a battle against a [[Behemoth]], in order to break open the path to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Final Rest}}'''|最後の休息|Saigo no Kyūsoku}}. This room is the location of the final save point of the game, as well as the door which first appeared in the [[Awakening]] and led to a strange version of Destiny Islands. Just as before, this door leads to the remnants of Destiny Islands, in a room named only {{nihongo|'''{{a|Homecoming}}'''|想い出の島|Omoide no Shima|lit. "Island of Memories"}}. After two fights against Ansem, Sora and party are transported to '''The Void''' where they face the final boss, [[World of Chaos]], which even includes tiny rooms within itself called '''Portals of Darkness'''. Once Ansem is defeated once and for all he opens the Door to Darkness which is located in a room called {{nihongo|'''{{a|Final Door}}'''|最後の扉|Saigo no Tobira}}.

*The Halloween Town fragment of the World Terminus is the only time in which Oogie's torture chamber can be explored freely. The real one only appears during the boss battle with [[Oogie Boogie]].
