The [[Keychain]] is a black and red heart that is similar to the [[Heartless]] symbol, only without the ''fleur-de-lis'' bottom and jagged cross, with two Kingdom Keys crossed over it. The chain starts out as two separate chains that form into one.The Keychain's two crossed Kingdom Keys is reminiscent of the {{w|Papacy#Regalia and insignia|symbol}} of the "Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven". Although it is not seen in this incarnation, it is especially significant that the Kingdom Key has a silver blade and gold hilt, and the [[Kingdom Key D]] has a gold blade and silver hilt, matching the keys on the symbol. When the χ-blade hits a target, the released symbols are gold and dark blue stars, symbolic of light and darkness. | The [[Keychain]] is a black and red heart that is similar to the [[Heartless]] symbol, only without the ''fleur-de-lis'' bottom and jagged cross, with two Kingdom Keys crossed over it.

Although χ-blade is pronounced "Keyblade", the letter "χ" is the letter {{w|Chi (letter)|chi}} from the {{w|Greek alphabet}}. This is why the name of the weapon is spelled "χ-blade", but, as Master Xehanort explains, can be pronounced "Kye-blade". Master Xehanort explains to Ventus, with a visual demonstration of the ancient letter "χ", that he is not referring to a Keyblade that Keyblade Wielders use. He continues to state that the letter itself carries a meaning of "death" and that it "spells endings". | Although χ-blade is pronounced "Keyblade", the letter "χ" is the letter {{w|Chi (letter)|chi}} from the {{w|Greek alphabet}}.
