The '''Kingdom Key D''', also known as the {{nihongo|"Kingdom Key -Dark Side-"<ref>[http://www.square-enix-shop.com/catalog/ma-ds.html SQUARE ENIX PRODUCT Online Catalog]</ref><ref>[https://store.na.square-enix.com/product/418932/kingdom-hearts-keyblade-keychain-kingdom-key-dark-side <nowiki>KINGDOM HEARTS KEYBLADE KEYCHAIN [KINGDOM KEY DARK SIDE] | Square Enix Online Store</nowiki>]</ref><ref>[http://store.jp.square-enix.com/item/MKH051225_1.html KINGDOM HEARTS　キーブレードキーホルダー　キングダムチェーン ダークサイド｜スクウェア・エニックス e-STORE | スクウェア・エニックス e-STORE]</ref>|キングダムチェーン ダークサイド|Kingudamu Chēn Dākusaido|lit. "Kingdom Chain Darkside"}}, is the default form for [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey's]] Keyblade, introduced in  ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''. It is a Keyblade of the [[Realm of Darkness]] which the King obtained to mirror Sora's Keyblade from the [[Realm of Light]].<ref>'''''[[Director's Secret Report XIII]]''''', p. 28; '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "In order to work, the door needs to be closed from both the Dark side and the Light side and both a Dark and Light realm Keyblade are needed. The King needed a Keyblade opposite from the realm of Light Keyblade that Sora had, so he went to the realm of Darkness to obtain one."</ref> In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', it can be upgraded to the '''Kingdom Key D+''', the '''Kingdom Key D++''', and the '''Kingdom Key DΩ'''.

The Kingdom Key D was originally seen with Mickey in the final scene of ''Kingdom Hearts'', and appears throughout ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', ''Kingdom Hearts II'', and ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' as King Mickey's Keyblade. Before the events of ''Kingdom Hearts'', when he was an apprentice of Master [[Yen Sid]], King Mickey instead wielded the [[Star Seeker]] Keyblade.

==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep 0.2 - A Fragmentary Passage''===
{{Spoiler}}
[[Mickey]] finds the Kingdom Key D in the ruins of [[Destiny Islands]] in the [[Realm of Darkness]].
{{Spoilerend}}

==Design==
The Kingdom Key D is a mirror of the Kingdom Key, and this purpose is reflected in its coloration - where Sora's Keyblade is silver, Mickey's is gold, and vice-versa. Even the rainguard, which is blue on Sora's Kingdom Key, is red on Mickey's, although both Keyblades possess a dark-colored handle.

==Gameplay==
In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the Kingdom Key D is used whenever Sora faints during a boss battle and King Mickey enters play. However, it lacks a finishing move, so King Mickey is unable to finish off any of these bosses; he must instead revive Sora in order for the boss to be defeated.

In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' [[Mission Mode]], the Kingdom Key D is King Mickey's default Keyblade, and does not require gears to be equipped. The ground combo consists of a diagonal upward slash from the right leg, followed by the same slash from the left leg, and finishes with a 360° spinning slash. The aerial combo is the exact same as when he uses the Star Seeker Keyblade, consisting of a horizontal slash to the right finishing with a vertical slash upward, followed by the upward slash leading into a 360° spin with the Keyblade held above the King's head, and ends with a series of three thrusts as he descends.

==Other appearances==
===''Another side, Another story...''===
The Kingdom Key D appears in the secret movie ''[[Another side, Another story...]]'', where it is wielded by Mickey during his brief appearance.

===''The Gathering''===
The Kingdom Key D also appears in the secret movie ''[[The Gathering]]'', where it is pulled from the ground by [[Aqua]] at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]].

===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
The {{nihongo|"[[Removed content#Lightseeker|Lightseeker]]"|ライトシーカー|Raitoshīkā}} was originally intended to be a Keychain for Ventus, and although it is not available in the final game, the data for the Keyblade's icon and stats remains within the game's code. If equipped through the use of a cheating device, it grants Ventus +3 Strength and +2 Magic. The Keyblade's model is present in gameplay when equipped in the original Japanese release of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', but the model is removed in later releases of the game.

===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===
The Kingdom Key D is listed as one of [[Riku]]'s [[Keyblade]]s in the game files, though it is unusable in normal gameplay. Like every other equippable Keyblade in the game, it changes appearance when visiting [[The Grid]], taking on a black, grey, and light blue coloration.
