Ultima Weapon: Difference between revisions

The ''Kingdom Hearts'' version of the Ultima Weapon is strongly reminiscent of the [[Dream Sword]], but is wrapped in an ornate gold {{w|filigree}} in a pattern slightly reminiscent of fish bones. The teeth of the blade are a golden version of the crown charm [[Sora]] wears, and the [[Keychain]] token, attached to the blade by shimmering thread, is a gilded {{w|Heart (symbol)|heart}}, used throughout the series to refer to a complete being, instead of a Heartless or Nobody. It also bears one heart just above the guard and another just next to the crown making up the teeth of the blade, both of which are present in the ''Kingdom Hearts II'' version. In the game, the blade's size is smaller compared to the hilt, compared to its design in the official artworks; this resembles a real-life section of a sword known as the tang (the section of the blade that is mounted into the handle). Small circular ripples and bolts of light are emitted whenever Sora strikes a target with it. This version is also used in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''. In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'', the names of its upgrades in the Japanese version use letters that, when appended to the end of a name, typically indicate greatness or superiority: A, S, X and Z. In the English version, the names instead use the mathematical symbol for "greater than", and each upgrade adds an additional "greater than" symbol.
