 The '''Decisive Pumpkin''' is a [[Keychain]] for [[Kingdom Key|Sora's Keyblade]] which appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.

-It is obtained by defeating [[The Experiment]] in [[Halloween Town]].-->
+==Design==
+Similar to the theme in ''{{w|The Nightmare Before Christmas}}'', Decisive Pumpkin sports a Christmas motif with a tint of Halloween. The main hand guard is designed with [[Dr. Finklestein]]'s skeleton [[reindeer]], with the emblem of [[Jack Skellington]] wearing a Christmas Hat at the central part. The blade's body resembles the giant snake seen in the film ''The Nightmare Before Christmas'' swallowing presents and Christmas trees, but could also be a version of [[Halloween Town]]'s dragon-like fountain with a candy cane pattern. The [[Keychain|chains]] sport a Jack-o-Lantern motif, symbolizing Jack's image as the Pumpkin King, and the token is [[Zero]]. The symbols that appear when the Decisive Pumpkin makes contact with an enemy are Jack-o'-Lanterns, furthering the Halloween motif. It makes jingling sounds when it hits an enemy, completing the Christmas theme.
-==Design==
+Like other Keyblades, the Decisive Pumpkin has a monochrome scheme while in [[Timeless River]], a darker, ashen scheme while in Halloween Town, and a blue neon scheme while in [[Space Paranoids]].

The main hand guard is designed with Dr. Finklestein's skeleton reindeer, with the emblem of Jack wearing a Christmas Hat at the central part. The blade's body is Halloween Town's Guillotine snake-like statue, but longer and with a candy cane pattern.

+The name alludes to Jack's position as the Pumpkin King. "Decisive" references Jack's internal conflict between Halloween and Christmas.
 ==Gameplay==
-The Decisive Pumpkin is among the best Keyblades in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. It has amazing Strength, bad Magic, and decent reach. While it's Strength stat is on-par with Keyblades such as [[Ultima Weapon]] and [[Oblivion]], its combo boost amplifies the Keyblades finisher damage; effectively making [[Guard Break]] and [[Explosion]] stronger. This makes the Decisive Pumpkin the strongest grounded Keyblade. It is not recommended to use Magic with this Keyblade; its Magic stat is very poor unless the Battle Level scales Sora's magic damage. [[Limit Form]] is a excellent choice for Decisive Pumpkin, as it makes [[Zantetsuken]] and [[Ripple Drive]] extremely deadly against enemies. Its high damage output makes it a go-to pick for speedruns.
+The Decisive Pumpkin is among the best Keyblades in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. It has amazing Strength, bad Magic, and decent reach. While its Strength stat is on-par with Keyblades such as [[Ultima Weapon]] and [[Oblivion]], its [[Combo Boost]] ability boosts the damage delivered by ground combo finishers, effectively making [[Guard Break]] and [[Explosion]] stronger. This makes the Decisive Pumpkin the strongest grounded Keyblade, assuming you have access to Finishing Plus (otherwise, Rumbling Rose will be able to output more damage in a combo thanks to the second finisher). Decisive Pumpkin is an excellent choice for [[Limit Form]], as it makes [[Zantetsuken]] and [[Ripple Drive]] extremely deadly against enemies.
