The Overture (オーヴァーテュア, Ōvātyua) is a Sitar that can be wielded by Demyx in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It can be upgraded to the Overture+.

Design

The Overture’s headstock is a featureless, yellow triangle. The neck of the sitar is black at its top, but is otherwise thin and yellow. The body of the sitar is wide and oval-shaped, with two indentations at its top. Like the headstock, the body is rather simple in design, being mainly yellow with black edges. It seems to have two white strings, which are anchored to the body by an arrangement of three silver diamonds near the base of the sitar.

In music, an overture is the instrumental introduction to a choral, instrumental composition, or dramatic piece of music.

Gameplay

Overture's ground combo starts with a quick leap forwards, thrusting the sitar diagonally upward, followed by Demyx performing a 360° spinning diagonal slash with the tip of the sitar, and ends with a 360° spinning attack, after which, Demyx strums the sitar, emitting a yellow shockwave which damages any enemies around him.

The aerial combo consists of a downward diagonal slash with the tip of the sitar, followed by a thrust upward, and ends with a blast of three yellow shockwaves forwards.
