Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

The '''Dichotomy''' is a {{c|Claymore|weapon}} that can be wielded by [[Saïx]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. It can be upgraded to the '''Dichotomy+'''.
 
==Design==
The Dichotomy has a long, navy blue handle with a blue, spade-shaped pommel with gold edges. Its guard is black with gold edges, and is a crescent-like shape and points downward. The Dichotomy's blade is comprised of two identical halves. Each half is long and silver with gold inner edges. The halves are rather smooth, though each has a small, semi-circular indentation in the middle of its outer edge. The two halves are connected by a shorter blade—roughly half the length of the two halves of the main blade—in between them. This shorter blade is blue with gold, ridged edges.
 
When Saïx enters his berserker state, the distance between the two halves of the main blade becomes greater, and the halves themselves becomes slightly longer. The central blade also becomes much longer. The tip of the central blade gains a new, pale yellow blade with yellow edges lining its upper edge. The halves of the main blade each gain similar blades lining their outer edges. These blades also sport eight short spikes near the upper half of the weapon, creating a silhouette reminiscent of the [[Lunatic]] claymore.
 
Dichotomy is the phase of the moon where half of it appears visible, possibly a reference to how Saïx is both calm and berserk. "''Crocea Mors''" is Latin for "yellow death" and is the name of {{w|Crocea Mors|Julius Caesar's sword}}, according to the writings of {{w|Geoffrey of Monmouth}}.
 
==Gameplay==
Dichotomy's ground combo starts with a downward diagonal slash followed by an upward diagonal slash. The next move of the combo consists of Saïx performing a leaping upward diagonal slash. The combo then ends with a dash forward in mid-air, followed by a 360° spinning slash.
 
The aerial combo consists of a sideways slash, and then an upward diagonal slash, followed by a dash forward in mid-air and a 360° spinning slash.

{{nihongo|'''Dichotomy'''|クロケアモルス|Kurokea Morusu|lit. "Crocea Mors"}} is one of [[Saïx]]'s weapons in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', and '''Dichotomy+''' is his most powerful weapon. To wield Dichotomy, Saïx must have the [[Pandora Gear]] attached. When used Saïx Attacks with this weapon, he executes a four hit combo in which he performs a fast downward slash followed by a similar upward slash. Saïx then jumps, slashing his claymore upwards, and dashes forward whilst in midair, and spins with the claymore extended, dealing a devastating blow to enemies in front of him.
