'''[[Kairi|Kairi's]] [[Keyblade]]''' is a keychain which appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It was given to her by [[Riku]] in [[The World That Never Was]] in order to fight a swarm of Heartless attacking Sora. It uses a floral design and its token is a [[Paopu fruit]], a recurring symbol of the bond between Sora and Kairi. In ''[[Director's Secret Report XIII#Part 2- About the Keyblades|Director's Secret Report XIII]]'', Tetsuya Nomura explains that Kairi is able to wield Riku's Keyblade due to her strong heart, and that this Keyblade is from the Realm of Light, like Sora's.

'''Destiny's Embrace''' is the default form of [[Kairi]]'s [[Keyblade]] and a [[Keychain]] for [[Rainfell|Aqua's]] Keyblade that is introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.


== Trivia ==
== Story ==
*Kairi's Keyblade is only seen in one scene, and does not appear or get mentioned again.[[Image:Kairikeyblade.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kairi after receiving her [[Keyblade]]]]
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
When Kairi is still a child living in the [[Radiant Garden]], she is saved from a swarm of [[Unversed]] by [[Aqua]]. Kairi gives the [[Keyblade Master]] some flowers as thanks, rewarding her with the Keychain for the Destiny's Embrace.


*The code to obtain Kairi's Keyblade for use in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' (US version. Codebreaker: 11CEF10C 000008BD) Simply equip the Kingdom Key and when you do, it will be replaced by Kairi's Keyblade. However, this keyblade does not make contact with enemies. When using this keyblade, using magic or going into drive forms will cause the game to freeze. Basically, this means this Keyblade is only good for show.
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
Eleven years later at [[The World That Never Was]], [[Riku]] hands a Keyblade equipped with this Keychain to [[Kairi]] so that she can help fend off a swarm of [[Heartless]] attacking [[Sora]]. Like Sora's Keyblade, this Keyblade is from the [[Realm of Light]].<ref>'''''[[Director's Secret Report XIII]]''''', p. 28; '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "There isn't just one Keyblade for the side of light and one for darkness. There are as many Keyblades in existence as there are hearts qualified to wield them. At this stage, the only requirement that has been made clear is that someone must have a "strong heart", but there are other requirements that haven't been spelled out yet which I plan to reveal another time when I have the chance. Riku's Way to the Dawn and the Keyblade Kairi wields are of the same nature as Sora's Keyblade. However, what with one having developed with the Soul Eater as intermediary and one having been handed to Kairi by Riku, I would like you to think that something not fully explained, outside the usual method of acquirement, is going on here." Translation via Goldpanner.</ref>


*When recieving the Keyblade, Kairi had an angry face when recieving it, wich caused fans speculate that she got angry by the girlish look on her Keyblade.
===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===
When Sora is about to face [[Xemnas]] within the dream-version of The World That Never Was, he explains that the connected [[hearts]] of his friends are his power, and an image of Kairi wielding the Destiny's Embrace appears alongside all of his other friends.


*This Keyblade is named by fans Bitchblade.
===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
Kairi wields Destiny's Embrace to fend of the army of Heartless, [[Nobodies]], and Unversed with the other [[Guardians of Light]] in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], and during the battle against [[Saïx]], [[Xion]], and [[Xemnas]].
{{sec-stub}}<!--it appears more than just that-->


*This Keyblade Sucks.
===''Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory''===
Kairi wields Destiny's Embrace to face off against the phantom Master Xehanort. She uses it until Xehanort incapacitates her.

==Design==
* [[Kairi]]
The Keyblade is round and curvaceous to the point of appearing harmless. The hilt is shaped like a heart, one side of the hilt is formed in the shape of a breaking ocean wave, while the other is formed into a beige vine of sand that wraps around the shaft, which is colored to resemble a sunset. The vine connects to a bouquet of colorful flowers, which form the teeth of the Keyblade and entwine to outline another heart. A red silken keychain connects the hilt to the [[paopu fruit]] token. Kairi's version of the Destiny's Embrace is slightly shorter than Aqua's.
* [[Paopu fruit]]
* [[Way to the Dawn]]


When Kairi attacks with the Destiny's Embrace in ''Kingdom Hearts III'', the hits make chiming sounds like a piano, while leaving glowing feathers and assorted flower blossoms behind. The blue wave design of the blade now resembles glass and has a constant flowing water effect.
