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 '''Sleeping Lion''' is a [[Keychain]] for [[Kingdom Key|Sora's]] and the [[Starlight|Player's Keyblades]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ]]''. It is also one of the types of Keyblades left at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]].

The '''Sleeping Lion''' is a [[Keychain]] for [[Kingdom Key|Sora's]] and [[Starlight|Player's Keyblades]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Union χ]]''. It is also one of the types of Keyblades left at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]].


==Design==
==Design==
The Sleeping Lion's design varies depending on the upgrade, most of which are seen in ''Kingdom Hearts Union χ''. It bears a resemblance to Squall's Revolver Gunblade from ''{{ff|Final Fantasy VIII}}''.
The Sleeping Lion bears a resemblance to Leon's Revolver Gunblade from ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy VIII|Final Fantasy VIII]]''.
 
The default Sleeping Lion has a dull grey color scheme. Its design invokes Squall's Revolver, with a barrel as the blade's base. Its handle is green, while the guard is a dark grey. The blade is a thin shaft, with a maneless lion head as the tip and a ''[[Symbols in the Kingdom Hearts series#Fleur-de-lis|fleur-de-lis]]'' as the teeth. The Keychain is a dull grey, with the token being a maneless lion head.
 
The first upgrade, also seen in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', has a grey hilt, blade, and Keychain. The lion's head on the tip and blade has a more visible mane. The ''fleur-de-lis'' has more prominent wings, and the blade has a wider shaft. The Keyblade bears resemblance to both Squall's Revolver and Twin Lance Gunblades from ''Final Fantasy VIII''.


In the second upgrade, the handle remains the same, but the guard is now not as symmetrical as previous iterations and now bears a wing similar to the [[Way to the Dawn]]'s teeth. The blade is longer and more cyan, as is the Keychain, and the ''fleur-de-lis'' has more prominent wings. The Keychain token now has a wing emerging from the mane. It is meant to resemble the Lionheart Gunblade from ''Final Fantasy VIII''.
In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the Sleeping Lion has a dark grey hilt and a blade resembling the Revolver. At the tip is a lion head, with a ''[[Symbols in the Kingdom Hearts series#Fleur-de-lis|fleur-de-lis]]'' as the teeth. The Keychain takes on a dark grey scheme, with the token also being a lion head with a moderate mane.


The third upgrade accompanies the Keyblade with an aquamarine aura, trailing wisps of light, a lens flare, and five Lux—three blues and two yellows.
In ''Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ'', the Sleeping Lion's design varies depending on the upgrade. Its default appearance is rather basic, with a duller color scheme. The hilt and guard remain the same, but the blade is smaller, while the ''fleur-de-lis'' lacks the wings. The Keychain token lacks a mane.


The Keyblade Graveyard variant lacks the lion's head at the tip, and also lacks a Keychain.
The first upgrade resembles its ''Kingdom Hearts II'' iteration. The second upgrade is more elaborate. The handle remains the same, but the guard is now not as symmetrical as previous iterations and now bears a wing similar to the [[Way to the Dawn]]'s teeth. The blade is longer and more cyan, as does the Keychain, and the ''fleur-de-lis'' has more prominent wings. The Keychain token now has a wing emerging from the mane.
 
==Gameplay==
In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the Sleeping Lion is a well-balanced weapon with decent stats and a long reach, but it is outclassed in all regards by other late-game Keyblades that are more focused, such as the [[Decisive Pumpkin]] or [[Fatal Crest]]. Its ability allows Sora to perform an extra hit on his ground combos, but as Sora is most proficient at aerial combat in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', this is of dubious use. The weapon is best used with [[Valor Form]], which is more ground-based and relies on rapid combos. When wielded together with the Decisive Pumpkin, Sora's attack strings are quite powerful and build to devastating finishers.


==Other appearances==

===''Play Arts Figures''===
Sleeping Lion is one of the Keyblades packaged with the Series 1 ''[[Play Arts Figures]]'' [[Final Form]] figure.
Sleeping Lion is one of the Keyblades packaged with the Series 1 ''[[Play Arts|Play Arts Figures]]'' [[Final Form]] figure.
 
===''Dissidia Final Fantasy NT''===
The Sleeping Lion appears as a downloadable weapon for Squall Leonheart in ''Dissidia Final Fantasy NT'', albeit with its handle replaced by that of his Revolver gunblade. It comes packaged with Squall's ''Sleeping Lion'' outfit, based on his appearances from ''Kingdom Hearts''.
