Midnight Snack

Midnight Snack (研究の夜食) is one of Zexion's joke lexicons in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It is a giant toasted sandwich. Like the majority of joke weapons, Midnight Snack makes a different sound when striking enemies. At the end of a ground combo, the slice of lettuce pops out for a quick second to strike enemies, similar to Luxord's cards.

Design
The Midnight Snack is a square, sandwich-shaped "lexicon". Its "covers" are slices of toasted bread. Its "pages" are slices of lettuce, cheese, and meat that stick out from the sides. The sandwich begins with the two slices of bread, upon which lies the lettuce. Atop the lettuce is cheese, and then the meat is in the middle, which resembles a whitish thin meat like turkey.

Gameplay
Midnight Snack gives Zexion very basic combos. The ground combo begins with a simple downward strike, and the second attack involves Zexion attacking with his lexicon to his left and right in slap-like motions. For the ground combo finisher, Zexion's lexicon floats in front of him, with the contents of the sandwich facing the enemy. A large, blob-like object of lettuce then comes out of the sandwich to attack the enemy. In the aerial combo, Zexion starts with another simple downward strike. The second attack is an upward strike. In the combo finisher, Zexion throws the Midnight Snack outward from him in a straight line.

Etymology
The Midnight Snack’s English and Japanese names both refer to its sandwich-like appearance. A “midnight snack” is a meal eaten late at night.
