'''Episode 38: The Other Key''' is the thirty-eighth chapter in the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|manga}}'' manga.


==Synopsis==
The front page shows [[Kairi]] with her eyes closed, with the stained glass from the [[Dive to the Heart]] in the background. The back page shows the [[Keyblade of heart]].
As the two groups fight, Riku mocks Sora and his supposed "strength of heart". Eventually, Riku flees deeper into the castle. Now alone, Riku reveals that his heart feels as if it were to explode. A cloaked [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|figure]] appears, encouraging Riku to be completely consumed by the darkness.


Meanwhile, Maleficent stands before the world's Keyhole, along with the sleeping Seven Princesses of Heart. Despite this gathering, the Keyhole refuses to open. Riku then appears, garbed in a much darker attire and wielding a new [[Keyblade of heart|Keyblade]], explaining that as long as Kairi's heart is missing, she will not be able to contribute her power. Riku continues, saying that unlocking this Keyhole of darkness will allow the Heartless to overrun this world. Maleficent laughs, claiming the darkness holds no power over her. Instead, it is she who will use the power of darkness to rule all the worlds. Riku smirks, then quickly releases Maleficent's heart with his Keyblade. Just as Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive, they see Maleficent disappear into darkness.
==Story==
[[Riku]] summons his [[Soul Eater]] and fires darkness at [[Sora]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] before disappearing. Having transported himself to somewhere else in the castle, Riku feels his heart being crushed, when the [[Robed Figure]] appears and beckons him to open his heart to the darkness. [[Maleficent]] stands in front of the [[Keyhole]], wordering why it won't open. Riku, now holding the [[Keyblade of heart]], explains it is because [[Kairi]] has lost her heart. When Maleficent brags that the darkness doesn't affect her, Riku uses the Keyblade of heart to unlock her heart, causing her to succumb to the darkness. Sora, Donald, and Goofy look in shock as Maleficent disappears, and Sora asks who Riku really is. Riku introduces himself as [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]]. When Sora tells him to give Riku's heart back, Ansem reveals Kairi's heart is inside Sora, and he plans to eliminate Sora to release it. When Sora tries locking the Keyhole, it fails, as the Keyhole isn't complete. Ansem tells him the world will be consumed by darkness if the Keyhole isn't closed, and offers Sora the Keyblade of heart to release Kairi's heart himself. Sora tosses the [[Kingdom Key]] to Donald and uses the Keyblade of heart to stab himself in the chest.


Sora comments that the Riku before them isn't really Riku. When asked who he is, Riku introduces himself as Ansem, the Seeker of Darkness. Sora orders Ansem to free Riku's heart. The possessed Riku points at Sora, the latter falling to his knees. Riku explains that Sora must first release Kairi's heart from within him. Riku walks towards Sora, shortly stopping before him. As Riku summons his Keyblade to release Kairi's heart, the darkness inside the Keyhole beings to grow. Sora is unable to seal the Keyhole, as the Keyhole is still incomplete. Before leaving through a portal of darkness, Riku tosses Sora his own Keyblade, claiming that Sora must release his heart. Despite Goofy and Donald's worry, Sora immediately unlocks his own heart, resulting in his physical self to fade away to light.
