Silent Dirge



The Silent Dirge (サイレントダージュ) is a form of the Kingdom Key that appears in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. The Kingdom Key is changed into the Silent Dirge when the Crisis Gear is equipped.

Design
The Silent Dirge’s handle is black and has a wide, light grey pommel. Its guard has thin, black edges, is lined by rectangular spikes, and does not connect to the bottom of the handle. It is predominantly violet, but it becomes pale yellow toward the bottom. The weapon’s shaft is rather short, conical, and light grey in color. The head of the Keyblade is predominantly violet that becomes pale yellow toward its base, with thin, black edges. The teeth are completely black and quite a bit larger than those of most other Keyblades, reaching halfway down the shaft. The outer edge of the teeth is lined by rectangular spikes of varying lengths, and there is a small, black protrusion on the opposite side of the weapon to the teeth. The Silent Dirge’s head and teeth are reminiscent of Lexaeus’s Skysplitter. Its keychain token resembles a violet cog with black inner edges and is lined by short, rectangular spikes. The Glimpse of Darkness is nearly identical to this Keyblade, only differing in color.

Musically, a dirge is a somber song expressing mourning or grief.
