During the events that take place in The World That Never Was, Riku hands her Destiny's Embrace, allowing Kairi to protect herself without any help. She is shown to be fairly competent with it, and was shown to take out two Heartless on her own in one cutscene; in the manga, she was able to destroy a group of them with a single swing of her Keyblade. Her potential is recognized by Yen Sid, who has Riku bring her to him to begin training with the Keyblade to become stronger. | During the events that take place in The World That Never Was, Riku hands her Destiny's Embrace, allowing Kairi to protect herself without any help.

In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', after completing her training with Lea and Merlin, Kairi is able to use the [[Cura]] spell and a magical blast called "Flower Shoot" during the battle against [[Xion]] and Saïx. She is also seen holding her own in single combat against Xion in a brief cutscene before Sora enters the area to assist her, even putting her on the defensive. In the cut-scene before the boss fight against Xion and Saix, Kairi barely blocks a blow from an incoming Xion, but then falls for a feint swing made by the latter, allowing her to be flung away by another attack. In battle, | In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', after completing her training with Lea and Merlin, Kairi is able to use the [[Cura]] spell and a magical blast called "Flower Shoot" (similar in effect and appearance to Mickey's [[Faith|Pearl]] spell in ''II'') during the battle against [[Xion]] and Saïx. She wields her Keyblade from a stance similar to Sora's, and is capable of performing a corkscrew-spinning ground-to-air combo effective for stunning foes. She is also seen holding her own in single combat against Xion in a brief cutscene before Sora enters the area to assist her, even putting her on the defensive. In the cut-scene before the boss fight against Xion and Saix, Kairi barely blocks a blow from an incoming Xion, but then falls for a feint swing made by the latter, allowing her to be flung away by another attack. In battle, she manages to incapacitate Xion temporarily before she and Sora are knocked down by Saïx's shockwaves. Despite her training, Kairi is taken by surprise by Terra-Xehanort and nearly struck down by him. She is also easily restrained by Xemnas, though both instances can be attributed to her lack of combat experience in the battlefield, compared to the others. | ||
