Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

'''Episode 39: Man of Darkness''' is the thirty-ninth chapter in the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|manga}}'' manga.


The front page shows the [[Keyblade of heart]], releasing Sora's heart. The back page shows [[Maleficent's Raven]].
==Synopsis==
As Sora fades away, Kairi and the Seven Princesses of Heart regain their hearts, awakening from their sleep. When Kairi comes to, she catches a short glimpse of Sora before he completely fades away. While Kairi, Donald, and Goofy cope with the loss of Sora, Ansem, now completely possessing Riku, appears. Ansem states that now that the Keyhole is complete, he has no need for Kairi. As Donald and Goofy prepare to fight Ansem alone, Riku suddenly appears, blocking Ansem's path. Riku immediately orders the group to flee from the oncoming Heartless. Ansem is impressed that Riku has supressed him this long, but states Riku will never get his body back. Ansem stands before the darkness-flowing Keyhole, claiming the world will be returned to darkness. The Beast then arrives, standing helpless before the bursting Keyhole.


==Story==
Meanwhile, Donald, Goofy, and Kairi have made it to the castle's entrance. There, they find a lone [[Shadow]] Heartless, which Kairi quickly concludes is Sora. Kairi hugs the Heartless, wishing Sora to come back. Immediately the two are enveloped in a burst of light, with Sora now in his original form. The group heads back to the world's Keyhole, finding Beast and the Seven Princesses of Heart unable to hold the raging darkness back. Just as the Beast reveals the Keyblade bearer is gone, Sora arrives, determined to seal the Keyhole.
[[Sora]]'s sacrifice releases the hearts of all seven princesses, causing them to regain consciousness. [[Kairi]] wakes up and sees Sora falling. She tries to catch him, but he fades away, as he falls into darkness. [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], now in his own body, tells them the [[Keyhole]] is complete, and plans to attack them. However, [[Riku]]'s spirit holds him back, as he tells Kairi to run. [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]] lead Kairi away, as darkness erupts from the Keyhole. Elsewhere in the castle, [[Beast]] sees the darkness. As Donald, Goofy, and Kairi reach the {{c|Entrance Hall|hb}}, they notice a single [[Shadow]] following them. Kairi recognizes it as Sora, and hugs it, giving Sora back his body. Beast has reached the Keyhole, and meets [[Belle]] and the other princesses, who tell him they're struggling to hold back the darkness. Sora returns to the Keyhole, [[Keyblade]] in hand, ready to seal it.
