** In ''Moons of Fate'' chapter 6, Rimi gives Minoru a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, telling him point blank he's a horrible Captain of the Guard and hasn't done anything worthy of praise, unlike Yamato. Minoru's response is to lose his temper and ''[[WouldHitAGirl backhand Rimi across the face]]'' while chewing her out for her "blatant disrespect"... which [[LaserGuidedKarma immediately bites him in the ass]] when [[PapaWolf Ansem]], having seen everything, fires him on the spot.

** Malachi kills people with a [[DropTheHammer giant hammer]], and then takes samples of their blood and stores it in said hammer as a trophy.

* CreepySouvenir: Whenever Malachi kills someone, he takes a sample of their blood and stores it in his [[DropTheHammer hammer]] as a trophy.

* BorrowedCatchphrase: In ''Final Stand'' chapter 36, Kairi uses Lea's own CatchPhrase, "Got it memorized?", against him.

* WhatAnIdiot: At no point, during the gang's visit to the ''Franchise/StarWars'' galaxy, does anyone from the gang notice the darkness in the heart of the ObviouslyEvil Palpatine. Then again, [[DoomedByCanon considering how similar]] Terra is to Anakin...
** The biggest idiot in that arc would be Aqua, again, due to how similar Anakin and Terra are: Aqua ''should'' have seen a kid Terra (the gang visited the Star Wars galaxy during ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'') into Anakin (oddly enough, Terra is the {{Expy}} of Anakin) and she ''should'' have seen Xehanort into Palpatine.

** Malachi stores samples of blood from the people he killed, which he stores in the hammer he uses as his WeaponOfChoice.

*** This dark past adds up at Terra to be [[DarthVaderClone an Expy of Anakin Skywalker]], as Hazy Hamlet does bear similarities to Tattoine.

* DarthVaderClone: As seen at CrapsackWorld above, Hazy Hamlet, Terra's homeworld, does bring some similarities to Tattoine, the world Anakin lived into before becoming Obi-Wan's Padawan, further cementing Terra being an {{Expy}} of Anakin.

* WhatAnIdiot: At no point, during the gang's visit to the ''Franchise/StarWars'' galaxy, does anyone from the gang notice the darkness in the heart of the ObviouslyEvil Palpatine. Then again, [[DoomedByCanon considering how similar]] [[DarthVaderClone Terra is to Anakin...]]

Another sequel, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12783583/1/Kingdom-Hearts-5-The-Rising-Darkness Kingdom Hearts 5: The Rising Darkness]]'', was in progress before the author grew uncomfortable with the direction it was going and decided to reboot the next-gen fics, starting with ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13756903/1/Kingdom-Hearts-4-Re-New-Light Kingdom Hearts 4 Re:New Light]]''.

The author has rewritten the ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12068788/1/Training-Series Training Series]]'', and has currently rewritten the original story, now named ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12357584/1/Kingdom-Hearts-3-Re-Final-Stand Kingdom Heart 3 Re:Final Stand]]''.

'''Note''': This article assumes that you have played all ''Kingdom Hearts'' games up to at least ''Dream Drop Distance''; therefore, all spoilers regarding the games will be unmarked. The rewrite is now incorporating elements from ''0.2 Birth by Sleep -A Fragmentary Passage-'' as well. Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned.

* AscendedExtra: Sasuke Kazekiri debuted in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/4194027/YamiChaos27 YamiChaos27]]'s ''A Warrior's Last Stand'' for a short time, which was posted when the original version of ''Final Stand'' was nearing its end. As such Sasuke's only appearance in ''Final Stand'' was in one of its epilogue chapters, again for a short time. However, aside from the sequel, and a prequel, and his own spinoff stories, he was given a more prominent role in the rewrite, first showing up in the fourth chapter rather than the epilogues, and contributing to the story more.

** Maximus, the Captain of the Guard prior to Minoru, as revealed in ''Moons of Fate''. He had great faith in Minoru, and even recommended that Ansem make him captain in his place. Minoru proved to be a GeneralFailure and EntitledBastard, constantly screwing up in missions, having to be saved by Yamato from his own mistakes, and being insanely jealous that Yamato got the fame and recognition he felt was rightfully owed to him; the final straw was when he slapped Rimi, the crown princess he's supposed to be respecting, for [[CantTakeCriticism calling him out on being a selfish, entitled loser]], which led Ansem to fire him. Yamato even lampshades it, openly wondering ''what'' Maximus ever saw in Minoru.

* LoveRedeems: In the end, Braig and Holly's love for Briana overrides their evil nature, and they voluntarily turn themselves into custody at Radiant Garden for her sake.

* SecretTestOfCharacter: While in Camelot, Yasuda and Baihu give one to Engel, by disguising themselves as Xehanort and trying to [[BreakThemByTalking break Engel with words, a common tactic of Xehanort's]]. Engel passes the test, vowing he'll never hurt anyone, and Yasuda and Baihu reward Engel with Xehanort's No Name.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Briana.

* LawOfInverseFertility: Averted; Maleficent tries to invoke this on Kairi, but as implied by Ienzo and as revealed by Patria and Pith's birth, she failed.

** MagicMiscarriage: Maleficent used dark magic to force Kairi's miscarriage.

** MagicalMiscarriage: Maleficent used dark magic to force Kairi's miscarriage.

* DarthVaderClone: As seen at CrapsackWorld above, Hazy Hamlet, Terra's homeworld, does bring some similarities to Tattoine, the world Anakin lived into before becoming Obi-Wan's Padawan.

* WhatAnIdiot: At no point, during the gang's visit to the ''Franchise/StarWars'' galaxy, does anyone from the gang notice the darkness in the heart of the ObviouslyEvil Palpatine. Then again, [[DoomedByCanon considering how similar]] [[DarthVaderClone Anakin and Terra are...]]

* NotSoDifferent: The Insurgos are this to Ansem's tyrannical parents. Both sides are firmly convinced that such things as evil and cruelty are [[VillainousLineage inborn]], and absolutely ''nothing'' will convince them otherwise.

* SinsOfOurFathers: In the fics set prior to the fall of Radiant Garden, it's established that the Insurgos believe that bloodlines carry certain traits; Ansem's parents were tyrants who saw everyone outside royalty as beneath them, and thus, they're obsessed with bringing down Ansem's rule because they believe that his parents' cruelty is [[VillainousLineage inborn]]. In ''Radiant'', showing that she's NotSoDifferent from the Insurgos, Ansem's mother, Hanako, reveals she has the same beliefs, outright telling Ansem and Rimi that Kaname should be imprisoned simply for being the son of one of the Insurgos despite the fact that Kaname ''saved'' them from his father.

* VillainousLineage: Several characters in Radiant Garden believe that bloodlines carry traits such as cruelty. The [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized Insurgos]] were determined to wipe out the royal family of Radiant Garden because they believed that somewhere along the line, Ansem's descendants would become just as cruel and despotic as his [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen tyrannical parents]]. On the flip side, which proves that the Insurgos are NotSoDifferent from said parents, Ansem's {{Jerkass}} mother Hanako lambasted Ansem for allowing Rimi, his niece [[spoiler: and Kairi's birth mother]], for allowing her to become engaged to Kaname, explicitly stating that Kaname should be locked up [[SinsOfOurFathers simply for being the son of an Insurgo]]. As a whole, it's largely subverted, as it's repeatedly shown that Kaname and Ansem are ''nothing'' like their parents.

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Patria seems to be approaching this territory. There have been mentions of her having mass amounts of inner darkness, along with her suggestion to use a JackBauerInterrogationTechnique, and her HairTriggerTemper and preference for violence as a solution. On top of it all, both Diaval and Pith, the latter her ''own brother'', have declared her to be NotSoDifferent from Maleficent. In her defense, [[spoiler:an unknown being who's been using the revived Xehanort and the Sovereign Enforcers has been pumping darkness into Patria's heart for years, and she behaves the way she does solely to vent out that darkness so that she doesn't explode]].
