Kingdom Key D







The Kingdom Key D (キングダムチェーンD) is a Keychain for Mickey's Keyblade which appears in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II, and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It is a Keyblade of the Realm of Darkness which the King obtained to mirror Sora's Keyblade from the Realm of Light. In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, it can be upgraded to the Kingdom Key D+, the Kingdom Key D++, and the Kingdom Key DΩ. Some Square Enix merchandise has called it Darkside or Dark-side.

The Kingdom Key D was originally seen with Mickey in the final scene of Kingdom Hearts, and appears throughout Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II, and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days as King Mickey's Keyblade. Before the events of Kingdom Hearts, when he was an apprentice of Master Yen Sid, King Mickey instead wielded the Star Seeker Keyblade. The Kingdom Key D also appears in the secret video The Gathering, where Aqua pulls it from the ground at Keyblade Graveyard.

Design
The Kingdom Key D is a mirror of the Kingdom Key, and this purpose is reflected in its coloration - where Sora's Keyblade is silver, Mickey's is gold, and vice-versa. Even the rainguard, which is blue on Sora's Kingdom Key, is red on Mickey's.

Other Appearances
Through the use of a cheating device, a version of the Kingdom Key D can be obtained for Ventus in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. This Keyblade is named the "Light Seeker" (ライトシーカー).

Trivia

 * While this Keyblade can be used in Kingdom Hearts II if Sora faints during certain boss fights and the player chooses to use King Mickey, it lacks a finishing move, so King Mickey is unable to defeat any of these bosses.
