History[]
Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep[]
As Ventus battles Vanitas in their shared mind, Aqua and Mickey Mouse in the Keyblade Graveyard are attacked by a Vanitas-possessed Ventus. Ventus-Vanitas summons the completed χ-blade, and tries to attack Aqua, only for her to be saved by Mickey. He then goes on to explain that he plans to unlock Kingdom Hearts so the worlds can be connected and the legendary Keyblade War can begin again for Master Xehanort.
Aqua, tired of Vanitas' nonsense, confronts him in battle one last time. As Aqua defeats her possessed friend and destroys the χ-blade, Vanitas' metaphysical battle with Ventus comes to an end after he shatters the pillar on which they were fighting. Vanitas is completely destroyed, taking all Unversed in existence with him and relinquishing his control over Ventus. Unfortunately, it is a pyrrhic victory, as Ventus loses his heart and falls into a coma in the process.
Abilities[]
Ventus-Vanitas wields the most powerful Keyblade of all, the χ-blade. This weapon multiplies his initial strength and attack range a great deal. He shows great skill in wielding it, able to perform strong combos and powerful desperation moves.
