The Madman's Vita (賢人の異聞録 Kenjin no Ibunroku?, lit. "Sage's Account") is a Lexicon that can be wielded by Zexion in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

Design

The Madman's Vita Lexicon has a vaguely rectangular shape with a small, triangular spike on the top and bottom of the spine. There is a pale yellow "X" shaped like the top half of the Nobody symbol on the spine, superimposed over a grey diamond with a light grey outline. The rest of the Lexicon is black with a thin, light grey border. The most distinctive feature of this Lexicon is that the shape of each cover's far edge sports three large spikes that bear a striking resemblance to those on Sora's crown necklace.

A “madman” is a mentally unstable or insane person. “Vita” refers to curriculum vitae, a written account of a person's education experience. A sage is a wise man. An “account” is an explanation or a report.

Gameplay

The Madman's Vita ground combo consists of two spinning horizontal slashes, followed by a spear-illusion spinning twice counterclockwise above Zexion's head.

The Madman's Vita aerial combo is simple, consisting only of a downward vertical slash, an upward vertical slash, and a final forward spinning throw.

When the Madman's Vita contacts an enemy, green and yellow star bursts appear along with smaller yellow semicircles.
