==Story==
==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
[[Terra]], [[Ventus]], and [[Aqua]] return on separate occasions to the Badlands, where they find a mysterious sphere of dark energy hovering in front of a nearby rock formation. The [[Keyblade]] wielders accept the challenge the energy sphere offers, and the Vanitas Remnant takes shape before them, just like when the real Vanitas did when he was born. The Unversed attacks, and after its defeat, it disappears back into the darkness.

==Design==
The Vanitas Remnant is a black-and-white version of the real Vanitas. It wears a black and white bodysuit, white boots with black soles, a white half-skirt that has torn, black tips and is held in place by three grey straps, and a smooth, black helmet that bears the Unversed insignia. It wields a monochrome version of Vanitas's [[Void Gear]].
The Vanitas Remnant wears a smooth, black helmet that has an Unversed emblem on it. The boss also wears a black and white bodysuit, white boots with black soles, and a white half-skirt that has torn, black tips and is held in place by three grey straps. In other words, its appearance is a black-and-white version of the real Vanitas. It also wields a monochrome colored version of Vanitas' [[Void Gear]].


The portal from which the Vanitas Remnant emerges from is purple in coloration and has fragments of black rocklike material floating around it. The symbol that appears in the portal's center resembles the [[Keychain]] of the Void Gear Keyblade.

[[File:Versus Vanitas Remnant KHBBS.png|thumb|left|Vanitas Remnant engages in combat in the Keyblade Graveyard.]]
 
Terra, Ventus, and Aqua cannot use [[D-Link]]s against the Vanitas Remnant. However, they still have access to [[Command Style]]s and Shotlocks. While the Vanitas Remnant will avoid most of the damage Shotlocks cause, the brief invulnerability these techniques grant makes them useful for enduring the boss's attacks. For maximum efficiency, the protagonists' equipped Shotlocks should be at their highest levels.  
===Attacks===
*{{nihongo|'''Continuous Slash'''|連続斬り|Renzokukiri}}: The Vanitas Remnant dashes and then slashes at its opponent. It then performs an upward somersault slash that releases a crescent-shaped wave of dark energy that homes in on its target and inflicts Confuse if it makes contact.
*{{nihongo|'''Warp {{w|List of judo techniques|Kirioroshi}}'''|ワープ斬り下ろし|Wāpu Kirioroshi}}: The Vanitas Remnant teleports above its opponent and strikes downward while casting Blizzaga.
*{{nihongo|'''Dark Firaga'''|ダークファイガ|Dāku Faiga|lit. "Dark Figa"}}: The Vanitas Remnant launches a fireball at the opponent that soon divides into three smaller, homing fireballs.
*{{nihongo|'''Dark Thundaga'''|ダークサンダガ|Dāku Sandaga}}: The Vanitas Remnant strikes downward while casting Thundaga.
*{{nihongo|'''Shadow Dive'''|シャドウダイブ|Shadou Daibu}}: The Vanitas Remnant dives into the ground and homes in on its opponent. Once it is within range, the boss reemerges as several fireballs rain down.
*{{nihongo|'''X-Discharge'''|Xディスチャージ|X-Disuchāji}}: The Vanitas Remnant powers up its Keyblade and slashes at its opponent. It then releases an X-shaped wave of energy that homes in on its target.
*{{nihongo|'''Dark Splicer'''|ダークスプライサー|Dāku Supuraisā}}: The Vanitas Remnant slashes at its opponent while teleporting. The length of this attack increases as the Vanitas Remnant's HP is depleted.
*{{nihongo|'''Dark Spiral'''|ダークスパイラル|Dāku Supairaru}}: The Vanitas Remnant dashes through the air at high speeds while wrapped in dark energy. This attack is used more often as the Vanitas Remnant's HP is depleted.
*{{nihongo|'''Dark Cannon'''|ダークキャノン|Dāku Kyanon}}: The Vanitas Remnant uses a [[Shotlock]] to fire a beam of blue energy from the tip of its Keyblade at the opponent.
*{{nihongo|'''Curaga'''|ケアルガ|Kearuga|lit. "Curega"}}: The Vanitas Remnant restores its HP. This spell is only cast if the opponent casts it first.
*{{nihongo|'''Spiraling Slash'''|回転突進斬り|Kaiten Tosshin Kiri}}: The Vanitas Remnant impales its opponent while spinning.
*{{nihongo|'''Dark Fang'''|ダークファング|Dāku Fangu}}: The Vanitas Remnant wraps the battlefield in darkness, dashes quickly, and places a row of dark crystals on either side of its opponent. These crystals rush at the opponent and inflict Blind on contact.
*{{nihongo|'''Clone Burst'''|クローンバースト|Kurōn Bāsuto}}: The Vanitas Remnant encases itself in a sphere of impenetrable, dark energy and launches several dark clones itself at the opponent before rushing forward with an attack of its own that inflicts Blind if it makes contact.
*'''Afterimage'''{{fact}}: If the Vanitas Remnant is caught in its opponent's combo, it teleports above its foe to retaliate.

Depending on the approach to this battle the player wishes to take, their Keyblade of choice will vary. Keyblades with a high Strength stat are best used if one intends to fight the Vanitas Remnant using [[Aerial Slam]]. Magic-oriented Keyblades, meanwhile, are recommended if one plans to use [[Tornado]] or [[Seeker Mine]].

===Terra, Ventus, and Aqua===
A flaw in the Vanitas Remnant's A.I. allows for an easy victory against it. Simply lure the Vanitas Remnant to the large rock formation in the corner of the battlefield and retreat to the rock's opposite side. The Vanitas Remnant will be left unable to attack. Terra, Ventus, and Aqua can effortlessly defeat the boss with a Command Deck comprised entirely of [[Strike Raid]] commands.
