Sanctuary (Sitar)



Sanctuary (サンクチュアリ) is a weapon that can be used by Demyx in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Sanctuary+, its upgrade, is his most powerful weapon. To wield Sanctuary, Demyx must have the Pandora Gear attached.

Design
The Sanctuary sitar bears a similar appearance to the Arpeggio. Its headstock is comprised of three black spikes shaped like those on the Nobody logo, superimposed over a white ring with two similarly shaped spikes on it. The fretboard is black with thick, concave, gold edges. The body of the sitar has a vague hourglass shape, sporting a large, semi-circular indentation on each side. It is mainly blue in color, but has a large, black "X" symbol near its base that is shaped like the top half of the Nobody symbol. This symbol seemingly acts as the bridge of the sitar, since its three gold strings appear to attach to it. A white "Y" shaped pattern on the upper half of the body. The edges of the Sanctuary's body are gold, and sport three spikes; one on the bottom and one on each side.

Etymology
Like the rest of Demyx's weapons' musical connections, the Sanctuary sitar draws its name from the theme song of Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days: Sanctuary, by Utada Hikaru.
