Ultima Weapon

Ultima Weapon is a keychain for Sora's Keyblade which appears in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, and Kingdom Hearts II. It is the Sora's most powerful keychain, and requires the most effort to obtain in all three games. Unlike other keychains which appear multiple times, the Ultima Weapon's appearance differs between games. In Kingdom Hearts it is the strongest Keyblade in terms of strength and MP, but in Kingdom Hearts II it is second in strength to the Fenrir and second in magic to the Fatal Crest. In Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix, it is third in magic to Winner's Proof. However, it's MP Hastega ability is much more useful in normal combat than the abilities attached to these other keyblades, making it the most efficient weapon in the game.

Appearance
The Kingdom Hearts version of the Ultima Weapon is actually the Dream Sword in ornate gold filigree in a pattern slightly reminiscent of fish bones. The teeth of the blade are a golden version of the crown charm Sora wears, and the keychain token, attached to the blade by shimmering thread, is a gilded heart, used throughout the series to refer to a complete being, instead of a Heartless or Nobody.

There is a discrepancy between the artworks of the Kingdom Hearts version of Ultima Weapon and its in-game appearance, namely that the blade's size in the artwork is somewhat smaller in proportion to the handle than in-game.

Background
The Ultima Weapon Keyblade is named after the sword of the same name in the Final Fantasy series. The Ultima Weapon is typically shown within the Final Fantasy series as a long sword, with a glowing blue/white blade and a golden handle. It is usually the strongest weapon for the protagonist in the games it appears in.

Trivia

 * Through the use of an Action Replay, two extra versions of the Ultima Weapon can be obtained in Kingdom Hearts II. These are the "Edge of Ultima", a palette swap of the original Ultima Weapon, and the "Detection Saber", a palette swap of the second version. When these keychains are accessed in Sora's Items menu, no picture of the Keyblades are shown - only map icons.
