Cold Blood



Cold Blood (コールドブラッド) is a weapon that can be used by Vexen in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It can be upgraded to Cold Blood+. Cold Blood+, as compared to Cold Blood, is a more physically-oriented shield, as it gives much larger stat bonuses to the Strength and Defense stats than Magic, as compared to the stat bonuses these stats received with the Cold Blood.

Design
Cold Blood shield is comprised of four teardrop-shaped pieces. The top and side pieces are blue with blue-white edges and a thin, sky blue line separating the two colors. The bottom piece is a bit larger and more angular than the other pieces, but it shares the same coloration. All of the pieces are held together by a blue-white ring with four spikes along the outer edge and a black inner edge. There is also a small, sky blue diamond in the middle of the shield. Other than its color, it is identical to Deep Freeze.

Etymology
The name "Cold Blood" is a double-pun on both cold temperatures, fitting Vexen's attribute, and cold-blooded animals, fitting his status as a scientist.
