Nothing has been left to chance. Four warriors remain able in this arena, atop the pillars around the Seat of War. As they look down, will they see their friends and foes' fates, or will they be felled by their opponent, having decided that they care more for their friends' fates than their own, and victory? The end is near, as light and darkness now seems to be pouring of the sky from the hearts above. A young warrior now finds himself pitted against the man who tried to defeat both of his friends, and now he must prove that light must conquer all. Or perhaps he is under true illusion, and that the man's darkness is overpowering for the pitiful boy. Elsewhere, a warrior who has taken faith in darkness must now pit his strength against an elderly Master who is shackled to the light--as well as his mentor. As father and son clash among the canyon, something greater awaits the victors....
This is a real tough choice for me, for Ven is my #1 fav character, and Braig is my #3 in the whole sires, but when it comes down to it, Ven's still #1. Either way, we are losing a great character this round.--Be a good boy now! 02:37, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
I love Braig, but he's a jerk. VENTUS. --Never fear ... Superdog is here! Yipee! :D 04:06, December 2, 2010 (UTC)Superdog1123
Sorry, Braig, but Ven has a much more epic ending--ShadowsTwilight 04:08, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Ventus IS full fledged Keyblade wielder and you better remember this Braig. Sapiro 17:19, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
Bye bye Braig... hopefully. Ximodnic 15:22, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Voting for the character that's tied with a few others as the most badass KH character ever! D.Dark. 19:08, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
I don't like this bracket, but I have to go with the Protagonist. It's just how I roll. Hyperwre_2.0 23:25, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
I know that if they did fight, Ven would be the victor cause he is just that awesome :). RoxasXVenXIII (ps thanks demmy)
Ventus is my fav Character from BBS so far. so he gets my vote. Chaosmage1
Braig is a well-made villain, granted. But for me personally he can't beat this awesome combo of innocence, cute adorableness and badass-backhand-wielding combined with wind and light powers that is Ventus. On your way, Ven-Ven *ggg* Sephiroth0812 01:22, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
Go Ventus!!Darkheart3 04:37, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
An easier fight for Terra on the next round. Ultima 12:14, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
How Ventus is winning this, I'll never know. 'Tis be a shame to see such a well-characterized villain go down to... that. --DTN 23:48, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
Ventus, much like Roxas, is lame as ****. Brettashley 04:00, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
Ventus is a little annoying, Braig is where it's at. Questionman 06:57, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
@DTN: I suppose everyone has their preferred style of character. Personally I don't get why Ventus lost in the Mirage Arena, but whatever. Soxxeh 00:57, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
I honestly find Ventus to be a rehash of the Sora brand character. I did not like him as a character, though his childish instincts can provide a chuckle every cutscene, here and there. Overall, though, he's far inperior to the ACCENT-speaking sniper. In addition, Braig vs. Xigbar. Coolest match ever. --DTN 03:30, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
I do agree that I silently wished a Somebody would go up against his Nobody, but that didn't sway my voting. I also agree that Ventus is a bit of a clone of Sora, but then again, maybe that's why I like him so much. He's Sora with an even more childlike aura... Are you not a fan of Sora, either, then? Soxxeh 03:37, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
Sora was fine, but repackaging him in a new, blonde package was not okay. --DTN 06:22, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
Actually I found quite a bunch of character traits that actually set apart Sora and Ventus from one another. But granted, that's probably because I purposely paid attention to find them. Sephiroth0812 17:08, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
If you look hard enough, you can find differences between any two things that appear related. But DTN is right; Ventus is essentially Sora reincarnated ten years earlier. Having said that, Terra is essentially Riku, and Aqua is what I presume Kairi will become in the next few games (much to my dismay). Through all that, though, Ven is still my favorite. =D Soxxeh 18:15, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
Sora reincarnated ten years earlier => Lol, that's actually a paradox in itself. True, they're all very similar, yet not the same. For Ven and Sora, they not only appear related, but in fact are very close related due to their special bond. When I tend to explain it I'll usually use the term heart-brothers, as they're very close not by blood, but by heart...lol. Sephiroth0812 18:55, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
No, no, no, you got it backwards. Sora is Ventus reincarnated ten years later. Sora is a brun Ventus repackage. Sora is to Mickey Mouse as Ventus is to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Sora is on my Burn List and Ventus is not. Y'all get me? maggosh 06:54, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
Hey maggosh, I'm pretty sure they mean gameplay wise, not story wise. Squeenix (heh, i said squeenix) basically made a copy of sora, put a wig on him, and pretend he's someone else. Like Hannah Montana, except the new one is actually better than the old. Obviously, canonically sora's personality came from ven, but Nomura apparently want's ven to be just like sora. And I say "blegh sora". roxas is better than both of them, though It was impossible to get a conversation going. Everyone was talking too much
Yep, got that Maggosh...;), that Mickey-Oswald-thing is a good comparison. CaelumLucisCaliga, actually, I find Sora and Ven in terms of gameplay even more diverse then personality-wise. Canonically, Sora inherited the ability to dual-wield from Ven and has adopted some traits from him due to Ven's injured heart taking a nap in his, yes, and they have very similar personalities, but they still are distinct persons. Actually it can happen in RL too that you meet two people who act very similar...lol. Sephiroth0812 20:31, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
I meant creation-wise. Kingdom Hearts came out in 2002, and ten years later (okay, eight, whatever), they've recreated his character as Ventus in BbS. Soxxeh 00:46, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
Creation-wise you could also say the same for Terra-Riku, Aqua-Kairi. And the reasons for it are actually made reasonable and explained through the storytelling. No one we know so far has a so close bond like the one Sora and Ven share. On another note however: Gosh, the next round is gonna be especially hard...I don't think Braig and Eraqus can catch up in the one day that's left. Sephiroth0812 01:00, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
Sora and Ventus share a story-intertwined bond unlike the others because they share their hearts, but in the same way that Terra is a rehash of Riku (as well as Aqua and Kairi), Ventus is much a rehash of the original Sora character. Regardless, I think this probably is not the place for this discussion, so I'm cutting off my posts here. :P On the other note, however, I do think that the Ventus-Terra battle will be one of the titans. Soxxeh 02:30, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
All I'm saying is that if Eraqus help Terra instead of fighting him, all four of them may still be around.--Be a good boy now! 02:39, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
Eraqus is a poopiehead. ;P --Never fear ... Superdog is here! Yipee! :D 04:05, December 2, 2010 (UTC)Superdog1123
Riku's spiritual successor. ...Or is it the other way around? Meh, whatever. The17Master
Terra Pwnd Eraqus Vexilor 14:59, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
I like Master Eraqus, but his hardcore-darkness-hating is just too... hardcore. My vote goes to Terra. Thanks to him, Riku got his Keyblade.--Drace90 15:19, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
Terra is also a part of Xemnas(a less scarier part)so my vote goes to him! Demyx IX 999 15:42, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
Although Terra fails in the VA category...Eraqus IS the Buzz Killington of Kingdom Hearts.--Lapidothtill 16:08, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
Keybladers rule--LexaIIIV 16:21, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
Not really difficult for me. Mark Hamill aside Eraqus is just a jerk who attacked both Terra and Ven despite neither of them doing any wrong. Terra FTW. Sephiroth0812 01:26, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
He's not as lame as Eraqus. Brettashley 04:01, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
It already happened, Terra and Eraquas put up a good fight but Eraqus got totally pw'nd, even though Terra used Dark Hangon - All you need is love!♫ 17:49, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You see, this is actually a biologically unfair match. Half of Terra's cells are from Eraqus, and therefore half of his votes should be transferred to Eraqus. Thank you, that is all. --DTN 23:49, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
For his mean as Keyblade.Darkheart3 04:38, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
You'd have to be the Joker not to vote for Eraqus. Number XIII - LightRoxas - The Key of Destiny 21:24, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
This is so Not Fair. I have to choose between Terra or Eraqus?! AHHHH *rips hair out and bangs head against the wall*
Hyperwre_2.0 23:24, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
Because I felt loike making a Batman joke:
Terra: Who the hell are you anyway, giving out orders like this?
Eraqus: What, are you dense? Are you retarded or something? Don't you know who I am? I'm the goddamn Keyblade Master.
OR
Eraqus: You want to know how I got these scars? My partner was a main antagonist... and a fiend... and one day he goes off crazier than usual. I get out my Keyblade to defend myself. He doesn't like that; Not. One. Bit. So he shoots dark energy at me, talking about the X-Blade as he does it. So later I invite him to see my impressionable young students and the player says “Are you serious?”. He goes missing, so I send my students off on a mission to find him and the player says “Are you serious?!” My student comes back, fights me, I lose, he comes up behind me and... are you serious?!LapisLazuliScarab05:21, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
