Are there any AR Max codes specifically for Reverse/Rebirth? I'm curious.

My optional boss(es)

I actually made a couple of them. Here's the first.

Name: Sakura (it's not the one you think)
What She Looks Like: Spiky light yellow hair, sapphire blue eyes, and an Organization XIII cloak (she's not really one of them, will be explained in the boss strategy).
Weapon: An orange and black version of the Diamond Dust keyblade (I named the weapon Dark Crystal).
HP: 2700 (nine bars)
STR: 65 (62 in Final Mix+)
MAG: 55 (57 in Final Mix+)
DEF: 61 (65 in Final Mix+)
Type of Fight: Partner (Sora gets to fight with his party members)
Appears in: Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix
Required: No (but brings sweet rewards)
Rematch?: Yes
Difficulty: Medium-Hard (easier if you're good with Reaction Commands)
When You Can Fight Her: Anytime after defeating Saix in The World That Never Was. To find her, head to Proof of Existence and look for a portal to the right of the room. Enter the portal to challenge Sakura.
The Arena: An island out in hyperspace, similar to the arena where you fought Darkside on Destiny Islands in KH. On the ground, there is a sketch of Oathkeeper and Oblivion. The name of the arena is "Destruction's Twilight".
Battle Theme: "Forgotten Challenge" from Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories
The Strategy: When you enter the portal, a cutscene occurs.

(Sora looks around, confused by his surroundings. Suddenly, he sees Sakura standing nearby, completely covered by her Organization robe.)

Sora: Another Organization member?

Sakura: You can believe what you want to believe. It doesn't really matter to me.

Sora: Just what does that mean?

(Sora draws his keyblade. Sakura pulls her hood off and reveals her face.)

Sakura: Well. I can see you're just as persistent as the others. Let's see if you're as tough as they were.

(Sakura readies her weapon, the Dark Crystal keyblade. The battle starts.)

Sakura's Attacks:

Keyblade Combo: Sakura has her own combo attacks, both aerial and ground type. Either move away or parry the attack to leave her wide open.
Shadow Raid: Sakura's version of Strike Raid, only she teleports around after each throw, making it difficult to keep track of her. Does medium damage, but if you guard against or parry one of her throws, you can use the Soar and Sky Impact reaction commands to damage her.
Come Closer...: Sakura holds her keyblade into the air and casts a powerful Magnera spell that will attempt to suck you in. Just keep running, as Sakura is invulnerable during this attack.
Teleport Blitz: Sakura will teleport around and slash at you many times. Quite fast. Does high damage unless you're fabulous at abusing your Advancing Form Abilities.
Holy Shadows: Sakura's desperation attack. When she has about 1.25 life bars left, Sakura will rise into the air, glow blue for a few seconds, and disappear. This is all the time you have to respond before Sakura comes flying back in, impaling you with her keyblade. What's worse, she can do this consecutively before finishing with a geyser of energy that covers the whole arena. Easily her deadliest attack, and it can easily get you down to 1HP if your defense is low and you take the full force of the attack. However, there is a way to prevent this. While Sakura is still floating, run up to her and leap. QUICKLY use the Dispel reaction command to disable her little glow, and then use Spirit Blade to deal big damage and stun her.

Reaction Commands:

Soar: Available after guarding or parrying one of Sakura's throws during Shadow Raid. Sora knocks Dark Crystal into the air.
Sky Impact: After a successful Soar reaction, Sora will grab Dark Crystal and toss it right back at Sakura.
Dispel: Used before Sakura uses Holy Shadows. Sora will use his keyblade to stop Sakura's power charge.
Spirit Blade: Used after Dispel. Sora knocks Sakura around with rapid combos before slamming her into the ground, where an energy glyph (very similar to the one used in KH's Trinity Limit) does damage and stuns Sakura.

The post-battle cutscene is as follows.

(Sakura calls back her keyblade.)

Sakura: Not bad, kid. You're definitely worthy of that keyblade.

Sora: I take it you're not with the Organization?

Sakura: "Operative." That's all I'm going to say.

Sora: What did you mean by "others"?

Sakura: All in due time, Sora. All in due time...

(Sakura suddenly tosses Sora something, who quickly catches it.)

Sakura: A little present. Just for proving yourself...

(Sora looks on, a bit confused.)

Sakura: Come on back anytime, kid. I'd love to take you on again.

After the first battle, you get a Vanished Vision (Final Mix+ only), the Crystal Mace staff for Donald (3 STR, 9 MAG, Magic Boost), the Persistent Guard shield for Goofy (12 STR, 0 MAG, Crisis Half), and the Key Of The Unknown keyblade for Sora (8 STR, 4 MAG, Combo Master). Each rematch yields another Vanished Vision (Final Mix+ only). If you head back for a rematch:

Sakura: So, you've returned. This is going to be fun.

(Sora and Sakura ready their weapons.)
