{{cleanup|KH2 and KH3 sections are script regurgitation, Keyblade skills section is over-the-top}}

Kairi and Lea face off against Xion and Saïx. After a while, Sora appears to help. Saïx goes berserk and blows back Kairi and Sora. As he moves to finish them off, Lea stands in the way. The tide swiftly changes when Xion regains her memories and switches sides and Roxas revives as his own person. During the fight, Sora and his friends move in for an attack on Xemnas; after a brief clash, Kairi is weakened alongside Sora with the power of nothingness.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind}} This ultimately allows Xemnas to grab Kairi and take her as a hostage, and he teleports away with her. After the defeat of Ansem, Xemnas, and Young Xehanort, Xehanort summons the unconscious Kairi to his side. Sora tries to rescue her, but Xehanort strikes her with his Keyblade, crystallizing and shattering her body to pieces, thereby angering Sora into the final clash necessary for recreating the [[χ-blade]].

===Keyblade===

During the events of [[The World That Never Was]]  in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', she receives a Keyblade from Riku, and is able to wield it due to being accidentally bequeathed by Aqua.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]''''', '''Interviewer:''' "Why can Kairi use a Keyblade?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "Because she was touched by Aqua's Keyblade. The Keyblade inheritance ceremony is performed with a Keyblade Master touches someone using a Keyblade. When Kairi was running away from the Unversed in ''Birth by Sleep'' she grabbed Aqua's Keyblade, which performed the ceremony. That is why she is able to use a Keyblade in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' to help Sora." [https://www.khinsider.com/news/BBS-Ultimania-20-Mysteries-Solved-2546 Translation via Lissar].</ref>

 

 

===Fighting style===

In battle, Kairi is effective at gap closing and keeping her enemies in the air. With her [[Strike Shift]] ability, she can throw her Keyblade akin to [[Strike Raid]] and teleport to it to close gaps between her and her opponent. Her combo finisher depends on how she starts the combo: it either has her spinning her Keyblade around her before performing a finishing slash if initiated in close range, or performing a spinning corkscrew called [[Spiral Bloom]] if initiated with Strike Shift. Her combos chain easily, and she can deal heavy damage in a short amount of time.

Kairi is fairly skilled in magic, and has access to all Magic spells at their highest levels. As a party member, she has an ability named [[Flower Shoot]], which shoots a ball of light at a target. As a playable character, this is translated into her [[Shotlock]], [[Heart of a Princess]], which rains balls of light down on foes. She has access to several movement abilities, such as [[Doubleflight]], [[Slide]], and [[Air Slide]]. Her main method of defending is using a light-based [[barrier]], and she has access to a counterattack called [[Starcracker]] where she shatters the barrier to repel enemies.
