The Ends of the Earth (ガイアベイン Gaia Bein?, lit. "Gaia Bane") is a Keychain for Terra's Keyblade that is found in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Like Terra's other Keyblades, it is able to shift into multiple forms, including a whip, a jet-vehicle, a spinning-cog weapon, a cannon, and a gigantic Keyblade.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Terra's Keyblade develops this form after he chooses Riku to inherit the Keyblade. Terra's Keyblade permanently takes this form once his body is stolen by Master Xehanort, and his armor becomes the Lingering Sentiment. The Lingering Sentiment continues to use this Keyblade, even when it attacks Sora in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix.

Design

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, the Ends of the Earth retains its Keychain, but in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, it has been removed. The Keychain had not been designed by the time the Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix was released. Being an upgraded version of the Earthshaker, the Ends of the Earth features a longer and more extravagant blade with teeth on both sides at the tip of the blade. The hand guard also elongates to form a wing-like shape of sorts. In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, the blade's length appears to have been slightly decreased.

Ends of the Earth begins with a medium grey handle surrounded by a completely enclosed, off-blue guard. The guard sides are two mirror images of a capital “J” that are connected by two perpendicular crossbars at the hilt and through the cone pommel. The blade and teeth are dark brown with gold outlines and accents. The thick blade has a black pole running the length of it and begins at the hilt with a concave slant then straightens to the teeth, which look like the Roman numeral 3 (III). The middle “I” of the numeral is shorter on both sides of the shaft, as the three bars cross over the middle of the shaft. There is a fourth “bar” to the teeth piece that is a semicircle atop the tip of the blade with golden triangular accents spaced evenly across. The Keychain token looks like a black triangle. This Keyblade bears a strong resemblance to the Earthshaker Keyblade as far as color scheme and teeth shaping.
