Discipline



Discipline (パニッシュメント) is one of Xemnas's weapons in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It can be upgraded to the Discipline+.

Design
Discipline is shaped like an elongated oval. There is a large, teardrop-shaped gap in the middle of the blade. The entire outer edge of Discipline, including the handle, is lined with short, triangular spikes. There is also a longer, thin spike that protrudes from the tip of the blade into the gap in the middle. This model of Ethereal Blade has a yellow glow.

Upon striking targets, the blades create a violet X-shaped slashing effect. At the end of a combo, the effect is larger, and the center is colored pink.

Gameplay
Like Judgment, Discipline's attack combos are characterized by broad, swift, spinning attacks. The ground combo consists of a spinning thrust, a 360-degree swing, another spinning thrust, and a double spin, with the blades extending on the last spin. The finisher has a knockback effect.

The aerial combo consists of an upwards spinning swing, a double spinning slash, and a downward 360 spin slash with knockback.

The ground combo for Discipline+ adds another 360-degree swing and another thrust before the double-spin finisher.
