Hyperion



The Hyperion (きさぎ) is one of Lexaeus' weapons in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It can be upgraded to Hyperion+.

Hyperion is also a blueprint for a gummi ship in Kingdom Hearts.

Design
The Hyperion’s handle is red with a pale yellow spike in its pommel and a sky blue spike on its tip. The blade and counterweight are one in the same on this Axe Sword, a result of the weapon’s peculiar shape. The Hyperion is shaped like a backward “S” that goes through the spike on the tip of the handle, curls over it—creating the counterweight—and then abruptly widens and curves in the opposite direction, creating the blade. The weapon is equally colored in blue and white, and the edges are mostly blue. The outer edge of both the counterweight and the blade is lined by blue spikes of varying sizes. The Hyperion Axe Sword shares its design with the Sequoia, though it has a different color scheme.

Etymology
The name "Hyperion" is derived from a Titan in Greek mythology. It is also the name of a moon of Saturn.

Trivia

 * "Hyperion" is also the name of the model of Seifer's gunblade in Final Fantasy VIII.
