The Emperor (Cards)



The Emperor (ジ・エンペラー) is a weapon that can be used by Luxord in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It may be upgraded to The Emperor+.

Design
A card from Luxord's The Emperor deck has the vague shape of an hourglass with spiked corners and a semi-circle cut taken out of the long sides. There is an ornate, orange pattern with a white outline decorating the face of the card. This pattern lines the sides of the card, but leaves an opening at the top and bottom, which creates the silhouette of a shape that bears a curious resemblance to the badge that Terra, Aqua, Ventus, and Master Eraqus wear. Cards from The Emperor deck are nearly identical to The World's cards, the only difference being that the orange section on The Emperor is green on The World.

Etymology
The Emperor is one of twenty-two cards that make up a Tarot deck's Major Arcana. It is numbered IV (4).
