| Kingdom Hearts usually manifests as a bright, heart-shaped moon in the sky, with a darker aura surrounding it. Kingdom Hearts is a source of tremendously-powerful [[light]], and the surrounding aura consists of equally-powerful [[darkness]] - in essence, it represents the brightest light shining in the deepest darkness.

| | | {{Q|I know now, without a doubt, Kingdom Hearts is light!|-[[Sora]]}} |
| Both Kingdom Hearts and its counterpart weapon, the [[χ-blade]], are also capable of opening numerous [[Gate]]s, golden keyhole-shaped portals between worlds.
| | '''Kingdom Hearts''' is one of the major objects in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' universe. It is the heart of all worlds, and a source of great power and wisdom. It can be seen as the heart of everything. |
| | |
| ===Entering Kingdom Hearts=== | |
| {{main|χ-blade}} | |
| Opening the door to Kingdom Hearts usually requires the [[χ-blade]], a legendary weapon that co-exists with Kingdom Hearts itself. In ancient times, the χ-blade was broken into twenty pieces, seven of light and thirteen of darkness. As such, to reforge the weapon, seven beings of light and thirteen beings of darkness must clash in combat. While it is possible to forge the χ-blade with as few as 1 being of light and 1 being of darkness, doing so will result in an incomplete and unstable version of the weapon. Once Kingdom Hearts has been opened, it is possible for those without the χ-blade to enter it as well.
| |
| | |
| ===Forms===
| |
| There currently exist four forms of Kingdom Hearts, each with varying appearances and methods of creation. <ref>'''''[[Director's Secret Report XIII]]''''', p. 26; '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "I think of "all life has heart" as the most basic premise of KH. The heart of worlds was a great heart that gathered everything that formed those worlds: the natural things such as the trees in the forests, the oceans and rivers, the flowers and such. The heart of people, as it is called, was the collected hearts of the humans and animals and such that lived in those worlds. A Kingdom Hearts is considered to be an aggregation of the originally invisible "proofs of life" known as hearts." Translation via Goldpanner.</ref>
| |
| | |
| ====Kingdom Hearts of Worlds' Hearts====
| |
| This form is located in the [[Realm of Darkness]], and is created by the combined hearts of worlds that have been destroyed by [[Heartless]]. Once enough worlds have fallen to darkness, fragments of them gather as the [[End of the World]]. The [[Door to Darkness]], granting access to the Realm of Darkness, will appear, and Kingdom Hearts will reside just beyond the door. This Kingdom Hearts manifests as a dark silhouette behind the Door, though its light is made evident when the Door is opened.
| |
| | |
| ====Kingdom Hearts of People's Hearts====
| |
| This form is located in [[The World that Never Was]], and is created by the stolen hearts of people, released by defeated heartless. It manifests as a yellow heart-shaped moon with a dark blue aura surrounding it. When it is damaged, the moon has a large purple crater in the center, and the surrounding aura changes into a bright purple.
| |
| | |
| Additionally, a second instance of this form appears in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], where it formed from the hearts of slain Keyblade wielders during the Keyblade War. This version appears as a pale blue moon, with no noticeable aura.
| |
| | |
| ====Kingdom Hearts of the incomplete χ-blade====
| |
| This form is located in the Keyblade Graveyard, and is formed when a being of pure darkness clashes in combat with an equivalent-strength being of pure light. This clash simultaneously creates an incomplete version of the χ-blade, a legendary weapon that is normally capable of opening the door to enter Kingdom Hearts. This version is once again a pale blue moon with no clear aura.
| |
| | |
| ====True Kingdom Hearts====
| |
| This form is once again located in the Keyblade Graveyard, and the method is similar to that of the incomplete χ-blade. For this, instead of 1 light and 1 darkness clashing, there must be seven lights and thirteen darknesses clashing. To "clash" can be as minimal as a single swing, and the amount of victors, survivors, or casualties on either side does not matter. Once this process is done, the completed χ-blade as well as the True Kingdom Hearts will appear.
| |
| | |
| This version's colors are the most dynamic. When initially summoned, its color is a fiery gold. When Xehanort draws power from it or corrupts it with darkness, it takes on a dark blue or purple appearance. When it gathers power to recreate the universe, it is a fiery orange.

| ==Story== | | ==Story== |
| ===Early history===
| |
| In the "age of fairy tales", the world was whole and full of light. People believed the light came from Kingdom Hearts, the heart of all worlds, which was protected by its counterpart, the [[χ-blade]]. Due to the secret manipulations of the [[Master of Masters]], his students, the five [[Foreteller]]s tasked with protecting the light, began to mistrust each other after receiving a prophecy of the coming war.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover]]''''', '''Narrator''': "Long, long ago, all the worlds were still one. One day, this would be called the age of fairy tales. It all began here in Daybreak Town. The Master of Masters had an eye that gazes into the future. He bestowed upon five of six apprentices a copy of the Book of Prophecies, in which was written the events to come."</ref><ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover]]''''', '''Master of Masters''': "The final passage reads, 'On that fated land, a great war shall transpire. Darkness will prevail and the light expire.'"</ref> They began competing over the world's [[Lux]], believing it would give them the power to push back the oncoming darkness, but in the end, their efforts collapsed into internecine conflict that embroiled the entire world. {{storylink|Kingdom Hearts χ}} This came to a head in the [[Keyblade War]], where many Keyblade wielders fought each other and lost their lives. When the conflict ended, the lost hearts gathered to form Kingdom Hearts above the devastated battleground, which became known as the [[Keyblade Graveyard]].

|
| |
|
| ===Between ''Kingdom Hearts χ'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''=== | | ===''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''=== |
| After the Keyblade War, the events of the "age of fairy tales" became legend and it was eventually believed that the cause of the war was that many came to desire the power of light contained within Kingdom Hearts, and they clashed together, wielding the [[Keyblade]]s they created in the image of the χ-blade. Their greed and jealousy introduced darkness into the world, and in the aftermath of this [[Keyblade War]], darkness covered the world, the χ-blade was shattered into twenty pieces, seven of light and thirteen of darkness, and the "true" Kingdom Hearts disappeared into the darkness. However, the world was restored by the light within the hearts of children, but as many individual [[world]]s separated from each other.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance}}
| | {{spoiler}} |
|
| |
|
| As a Keyblade wielder, [[Xehanort]] studied the legends surrounding Kingdom Hearts, the χ-blade, and the Keyblade War. After he became a [[Keyblade Master]], he searched for a way to reforge the χ-blade, summon Kingdom Hearts, and restart the Keyblade War in order to purge the world from the darkness that plagued it.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts III}}
| | In the prequel ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', set ten years before the events of the first game, Kingdom Hearts appears in a form similar to ''Kingdom Hearts II'' but blue in the sky above the [[Keyblade Graveyard]]. The graveyard is all that remains of a conflict called the [[Keyblade War]], set many years before ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. Keyblade Masters affiliated with both Light and Darkness fought to create the legendary [[χ-blade]], a Keyblade capable of unlocking Kingdom Hearts. The Keyblade Masters failed and destroyed themselves; all that remain are their weapons which litter the desolate world. |
| | [[File:KingdomHeartsBBS.png|thumb|left|Kingdom Hearts, as seen in the Keyblade Graveyard.]] |
| | Some time after, an aged Keyblade Master named [[Master Xehanort]] formulated a plan to create the χ-blade, intending to unlock Kingdom Hearts. In his [[Xehanort Report|reports]]<ref>'''''[http://forums.khinsider.com/spoilers/144476-official-birth-sleep-translation-request-thread-6.html#post4822969]''''''</ref>, Xehanort explains his views of the equilibrium of Light and Darkness and how they countered those from [[Master Eraqus]]'s. Opposite to Eraqus's beliefs of light being absolute, Xehanort saw that light could not exist without darkness. Xehanort believed that the balance between light and darkness was what sustained the worlds. However, he noticed that light was prevailing and that darkness was excluded too much. As a result, he created a goal for himself to destroy the current system of light and recreate a new system of darkness, and through the rise of darkness, he would reorganize the worlds. |
|
| |
|
| To further his plans, he extracted the heart of his pupil, [[Ventus]], to create [[Vanitas]]. He left Ventus with his fellow former student, [[Eraqus]], with the intention of having him and Vanitas clash in the future to create the χ-blade.
| | Along with the χ-blade, Xehanort also needed one more ingredient in his plan: a vessel. With the opening of Kingdom Hearts, he would be able to obtain a new body and discard his old one. As a result, his search for the vessel led him to [[Terra]]. He saw that Terra was looking for power, and that through obtaining this power, his heart would also give birth to darkness. Thus, with this observation, Xehanort concluded that Terra was to be his new vessel. |
|
| |
|
| ===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
| | At first, Xehanort's plans worked well, as he set the scene for his dreams to come into fruition. In the end, he succeeded in creating the χ-blade by way of manipulating his former apprentice, [[Ventus]], and his dark counterpart, [[Vanitas]]. With the creation of the χ-blade, Xehanort stopped his battle with Terra, released his heart through striking his chest with his own Keyblade, and used the power of Kingdom Hearts to transfer his heart into Terra's body. However, after obtaining Terra's body, Terra's mind went into the discarded armor, forming the [[Lingering Sentiment]]. Xehanort lost to the Lingering Sentiment in a battle and fainted, unable to continue his plans with Kingdom Hearts. |
| {{Q|This χ-blade will open a door―one that leads to all worlds! Then, Keyblade-bearing warriors will flock here from each and every one of them, to battle for the light within Kingdom Hearts! And just like the legend says, the Keyblade War will begin!|[[Ventus-Vanitas]]}}
| | {{spoilerend}} |
| [[File:Birth by Sleep 04 KHIIFM.png|thumb|left|Kingdom Hearts as it appears in "''Birth by sleep''".]] | |
| Master Xehanort draws [[Terra]], Ventus, and [[Aqua]] to the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], the site of the legendary Keyblade War. During the initial clash between Xehanort, the three friends, and Vanitas, Xehanort summons Kingdom Hearts in the sky overhead.
| |
|
| |
|
| While Ventus and Vanitas clash, Xehanort faces Terra, who he encourages to embrace the darkness. When Ventus and Vanitas fuse, creating the χ-blade, Xehanort uses his power as a Keyblade Master to extract his own heart and implant it in Terra, with the intention of seeing the results of the new Keyblade War in his new body.
| | ===''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''=== |
| | In the first game, [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] and the horde of villains led by [[Maleficent]] sought out Kingdom Hearts. Both wanted to draw out the darkness that surrounded it in order to gain immeasurable power and knowledge. |
|
| |
|
| However, Ventus and Aqua's combined efforts succeed in defeating Vanitas and destroying the χ-blade, while the new [[Terra-Xehanort]] is defeated by Terra's [[Lingering Will]] and is knocked unconscious. As Terra-Xehanort is swept away by the explosion of light from the χ-blade, Kingdom Hearts is covered by clouds and disappears from the sky.
| | To accomplish this, Maleficent searched for the Seven [[Princesses of Heart]], the maidens that possessed hearts that had absolutely no darkness within them. When brought together, these princesses would reveal the final keyhole and the way to Kingdom Hearts itself. Thus, Maleficent attacked many worlds with the [[Heartless]] in her pursuit of them, and managed to capture all seven. |

| ===Between ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts''===
| | All the while, she was being used by Xehanort's Heartless, who had been the first to discover the nature of hearts, as well as Kingdom Hearts itself. |
| An amnesiac Terra-Xehanort is taken in by [[Ansem the Wise]], and he becomes his top apprentice. Together with the other apprentices, he and Master Xehanort's co-conspirator, [[Braig]], conduct experiments into the heart, which lead to the release of the [[Heartless]] into the [[Realm of Light]]. They overthrow and banish Ansem, with Xehanort taking Ansem's name and, soon after, the hearts of himself and his fellows, creating his Heartless, [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], and the first [[Organization XIII]], with his Nobody [[Xemnas]] at its head. While Xemnas leads the Organization in creating a Kingdom Hearts formed from the hearts of people, with the secret plan of using it to transform the other members into vessels for Master Xehanort's heart, his Heartless manipulates [[Maleficent]] into creating and opening the door to a Kingdom Hearts formed from the hearts of worlds.<!--why, again?-->

| ===''Kingdom Hearts''===
| | At [[Hollow Bastion]], Xehanort's previous residence, the seven princesses were finally gathered, but only when [[Sora]] sacrificed himself to release [[Kairi]]'s heart using a [[Keyblade of People's Hearts|Keyblade]] constructed from the hearts of the six other princesses, was the path to Kingdom Hearts finally opened. With Xehanort's Heartless having gained possession of [[Riku]]'s body and forcing Riku's heart to wander into the darkness, he disappeared behind the darkness that poured out from the keyhole on the way to Kingdom Hearts. |
| {{Q|Behold the endless abyss! Within it lies the heart of all worlds: Kingdom Hearts! Look as hard as you are able, you'll not find even the smallest glimmer of light. From those dark depths are all hearts born, even yours.|[[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]]}}
| |
| [[File:Kingdom Hearts 04 KH.png|thumb|The Door to Darkness which leads to Kingdom Hearts.]] | |
| Ten years after the clash at the Keyblade Graveyard, Maleficent and her alliance of villains seek out a way to reach Kingdom Hearts, in the hopes of gaining immeasurable power and knowledge and dominion over all worlds.
| |
|
| |
|
| To accomplish this, they search for the Seven [[Princesses of Heart]], maidens that possess hearts of pure light who, when brought together, will reveal the [[Final Keyhole]] leading to Kingdom Hearts. Additionally, they release hordes of Heartless into many worlds so they will consume the worlds' hearts. They destroy many worlds, and the hearts gather in the [[Realm of Darkness]] to create Kingdom Hearts. Although they manage to capture all seven Princesses, each of the villains is defeated by [[Sora]].
| | After Sora was restored from his Heartless self, he once again went to Hollow Bastion, and sealed the Keyhole made by the princesses, holding off the great darkness. Regardless, Xehanort's Heartless remained a threat, so Sora and company ventured to the [[End of the World]], a place created out of the remains of the worlds taken by the [[Heartless]]. There, the Heartless thrived, and beyond it, in the eternal abyss, lied the unlocked door to Kingdom Hearts. |
|
| |
|
| Ansem, now possessing [[Riku]]'s body, creates a [[Keyblade of heart]] from the hearts of the Princesses. However, the Keyblade and Final Keyhole are incomplete, due to [[Kairi]]'s heart residing in Sora's body. Sora appears to drive Ansem off, but after he uses Ansem's Keyblade to free Kairi's heart, Ansem reappears and uses the completed Keyhole to travel to the [[End of the World]], while the others flee [[Hollow Bastion]].
| | After a long battle, Xehanort's wounded Heartless reached the endless abyss, where the [[Door to Darkness]] lay, with the [[Universe of Kingdom Hearts#Realm of Darkness|Realm of Darkness]] and Kingdom Hearts waiting behind it. Xehanort's Heartless forced the door to open, hoping for Kingdom Hearts to fill him with the power of darkness. However, Kingdom Hearts was revealed not to be darkness, but light. The light overwhelmed him, destroying him. But even with his defeat, the darkness that surrounded Kingdom Hearts threatened to overwhelm the [[Universe of Kingdom Hearts#Realm of Light|Realm of Light]]. In order to stop the Heartless threat, Sora was forced to close the Door to Darkness, trapping [[Riku]] and [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]] on the other side. Nonetheless, the sealing also restored the destroyed worlds, along with the barriers between them, while preventing billions of Heartless from invading the Realm of Light. |
|
| |
|
| Sora, [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] return to Hollow Bastion, and Sora locks the Final Keyhole, stopping the great influx of darkness that was emerging from it. They then travel to the End of the World, formed from the remains of the worlds taken by the [[Heartless]]. Deep within, at the border between the Realm of Light and the Realm of Darkness, they find Ansem.
| | ===''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''=== |
| | The entire game, [[Organization XIII]] is trying to collect [[Hearts]] by destroying Heartless, in order to create its own Kingdom Hearts. In one scene, [[Xemnas]] shows the other Organization members how big their Kingdom Hearts is and how close they are to finishing it. After this scene, the world can be seen outside the windows of The Grey Room in [[Castle That Never Was]] as it slowly grows whilst [[Roxas]] and [[Xion]] gather hearts. |
|
| |
|
| After a long battle, Ansem reaches the [[Door to Darkness]], beyond which lies the Realm of Darkness and Kingdom Hearts. Ansem forces the door to open, expecting for Kingdom Hearts to fill him with the power of darkness. However, the light of Kingdom Hearts overwhelms him, destroying him. But even with his defeat, the darkness that surrounds Kingdom Hearts threatens to overwhelm the Realm of Light, along with an immeasurable horde of Heartless. To stop the Heartless threat, Sora closes the Door to Darkness with the help of Riku and [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]], who become trapped on the other side. The world hearts that were taken by the Heartless are freed, and the worlds are restored.

| Once [[Roxas]] is inducted into [[Organization XIII]], their plan to collect hearts to create their very own Kingdom Hearts begins in earnest. [[Zexion]] explains to Roxas that once Kingdom Hearts has acquired enough hearts, it will have the power to make everyone in the Organization whole again. However, unknown to the rest of the Organization, except for [[Xemnas]] and [[Xigbar]], this plan is a ruse to ensure cooperation. Xemnas' plans to use the power of the artificial Kingdom Hearts to turn the Organization into vessels for fragments of Xehanort's heart, as part of the plan to recreate the [[χ-blade]].
| |
|
| |
| After Roxas and [[Xion]] collect many hearts, Xemnas shows the other Organization members the Kingdom Hearts that have appeared over the [[Castle That Never Was]] and how close they are to finishing it. It grows to be five times its original size by the end of the year.
| |
| | |
| When Roxas defeats Xion, and she begins fading away, she asks him to make sure Xemnas does not achieve his goal of obtaining Kingdom Hearts and to free the hearts they captured.

| With Roxas and Xion gone and Sora awakened, Organization XIII begin manipulating Sora into collecting hearts for Kingdom Hearts. They release Heartless into many worlds, forcing Sora to fight and defeat them. [[Saïx]] eventually reveals this plan to Sora at the [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless]], in order to throw Sora's heart into turmoil. Although Sora continues to fight the Heartless, he resolves to stop the Organization's plan.
| | Kingdom Hearts is again the goal of [[Xehanort]] in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', but this time, it's his [[Nobody]], Xemnas, and the Organization he leads. Maleficent, revived, also seeks out Kingdom Hearts once more. |
|
| |
|
| Upon reaching [[The World That Never Was]], Sora and company see Kingdom Hearts floating overhead. It can be seen from anywhere in the Dark City and in the Castle That Never Was.
| | However, Organization XIII wants Kingdom Hearts for an entirely different reason: they want to use its power in order to become whole, for they lead an incomplete existence as Nobodies. To fulfill their goal, Xemnas uses Sora (since Roxas, their original catalyst for releasing hearts, was no longer an independent entity), to destroy Heartless. The hearts that are released by Sora's Keyblade (and presumably all other Keyblades) would then wander to Kingdom Hearts, which floats over the Nobody world, [[The World That Never Was]], as a heart-shaped moon, assimilating into it. When it is finished, the Organization would be able to become complete once more. |

| | This plan is nearly realized until [[Ansem the Wise]] attempts to seal Kingdom Hearts away with a digital encoder. However, the machine is unable to process something as powerful and unpredictable as Kingdom Hearts, and it explodes, blowing Ansem to the [[Dark Meridian|Dark Margin]] and restoring Riku's original form. Still, this explosion leaves a giant hole in Kingdom Hearts, causing countless hearts to rain down over the world, becoming Heartless as soon as they touch the darkness. With Kingdom Hearts damaged, Xemnas needs to start all over again, though the threat of Sora forces him to take drastic action. |
| While they ascend the Castle That Never Was, [[Ansem the Wise]] attempts to [[Kingdom Hearts Encoder|encode]] Kingdom Hearts as data. However, the machine is unable to process the many hearts within, and it explodes, damaging Kingdom Hearts and sending Ansem to the [[Dark Margin]]. Countless hearts rain down from Kingdom Hearts over the Dark City, spawning Heartless. When Sora's group confronts Xemnas atop the Alter of Naught, Xemnas laments the broken Kingdom Hearts, stating he must start all over again. When Sora, Riku, and Mickey refuse his command to gather more hearts, he attacks Sora, but is defeated.
| |
|
| |
|
| In order to gain more power, Xemnas merges with his Kingdom Hearts. A new door appears, resembling the Door to Darkness, allowing Sora and his companions to enter Kingdom Hearts and confront Xemnas. Even with the power of Kingdom Hearts, Xemnas is finally defeated. The ultimate fate of his Kingdom Hearts is unclear. | | In order to gain the power to defeat Sora, Xemnas enters Kingdom Hearts, taking its power. Thankfully, a new door, much like the Door to Darkness, appears, allowing Sora and his companions to enter Kingdom Hearts as well. But Xemnas had already absorbed Kingdom Hearts' power, and attempts to use it against his opponents. Though he tries his best, and nearly defeats them, the combined efforts of Sora and his friends bring about his downfall. What ultimately happens to Kingdom Hearts after Xemnas' defeat is unknown. |

| ===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''=== | | ==Trivia== |
| The artificial Kingdom Hearts created by Xemnas appears in the sky above Riku's version of The World That Never Was.
| | *In the mosaic above the door to Kingdom Hearts, a Hidden Mickey insignia can be seen. |
| | *According to Nomura in [[Director's Secret Report XIII]], it is implied that the differing colors of Kingdom Hearts is due to the nature of its assemblage. The Kingdom Hearts made by Organization XIII was assembled from the "hearts of men," meaning people's hearts were compiled into it. In ''Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep'', the χ-blade unlocked Kingdom Hearts from "the hearts of worlds," meaning the hearts of entire worlds were assembled for its creation. |

| Xehanort orchestrates the second Keyblade War at the Keyblade Graveyard, pitting the seven [[Guardians of Light]] against the thirteen darknesses of the [[True Organization XIII]]. As a result, he is able to recreate the completed χ-blade and he summons Kingdom Hearts with it. Sora, Donald, and Goofy pursue Xehanort into Kingdom Hearts, while the remaining guardians of light hold off Kingdom Hearts from the outside.

| After a long battle with Xehanort, he prepares to use Kingdom Hearts to remake the universe. However, before Kingdom Hearts's power can be unleashed, Eraqus convinces Xehanort to surrender. The hearts of Xehanort and Eraqus depart together to the afterlife, while Sora and his friends use the χ-blade to close Kingdom Hearts.
