The Χ-Blade (Χブレード Kīburēdo) is a legendary Keyblade introduced in the Kingdom Hearts prequel, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. At the time, it was the only known means of opening the door to Kingdom Hearts. It was also the appearent reason behind the Keyblade War. It is unknown if it has the ability to perform other tasks.
Story
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
Ventus was trained by Master Xehanort so that he may use it to open the door to Kingdom Hearts, creating Vanitas from the darkness in Ventus's heart to achieve this goal. The X-Blade was finally created when Vanitas fused with Ventus, though both their fusion and the Χ-Blade were incomplete. Ventus fought off Vanitas (wielding the incomplete X-Blade) inside their Awakening. Meanwhile, Aqua and Mickey Mouse fought off Vanitas/Ventus, who wielded a completed X-Blade in the Keyblade Graveyard. Thanks to the combined efforts of Ventus, Aqua and Mickey, the Χ-Blade was destroyed along with its wielder, Vanitas.
Appearance
The Χ-Blade appears to be made up of two crossing Kingdom Keys. It has a filigree that slightly resembles one on the Ultima Weapon, and the blade slightly resembles the Dream Sword.
It should be noted that the Incomplete has the Ultima Weapon coloring to red-orange than Blueish-Yellow. and the blade is slightly covered with a darkness aura. Also it seems that the incomplete lacks a part of the Ultima Weapon-shape on one side, what makes it look somehow broken or shattered.
The keychain is a black and red heart (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.
Trivia
- The letter "Χ" is the letter chi from the Greek alphabet. This is why the name of the weapon is spelled "X-Blade", but pronounced "Chi-blade", a pun of "Keyblade".
- The keychain's two crossed Kingdom Keys is reminiscent of the 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.
