Oblivion is similar in shape to the [[Kingdom Key]], though is black and has a longer reach. The hilt guard is comprised of two bat-like wings extending downward. The teeth are in the shape of the Kanji for "darkness" (闇). The Keychain's token is a black version of Sora's crown icon. Like the Oathkeeper, the Oblivion's blade is hollow, but it has a chain passing through the gap. The diamond in its hilt also resembles the diamond in the original logo of [[Hollow Bastion]]. When the Oblivion is summoned in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', black smoke and violet sparks surround it. In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', it starts out as a dark cloud in-hand and the Keyblade "stretches" out in crackling dark energy. | Oblivion is similar in shape to the [[Kingdom Key]], though is black and has a longer reach.

In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', the portion of the blade with the chain is now visibly hollow, allowing see-through gaps in the chain. The handguard is now wider with the wing design pushed further up. The tip of the blade where the chain ends now has the grey portion less intricately designed. | |||

The Keyblade's name means a "state of forgetting or having forgotten", and its Japanese name has the same basic meaning. The Oblivion is often associated with the memories that are passing away, such as when Sora reaches the last floors of [[Castle Oblivion]], or when Roxas begins forgetting Xion following her destruction. | The Keyblade's name means a "state of forgetting or having forgotten", and its Japanese name has the same basic meaning.

In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'', the names of the Oblivion's upgrades allude to the protagonists of the series: [[Ventus]] for "Wind", Riku and [[Terra]] for "Earth", Kairi and [[Aqua]] for "Sea", and Sora for "Sky". | In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'', the names of the Oblivion's upgrades allude to the protagonists of the series: [[Ventus]] for "Wind", Riku and [[Terra]] for "Earth", Kairi and [[Aqua]] for "Sea", and Sora for "Sky". | ||
