The {{nihongo|'''Gull Wing'''|ガルウィング|Garuwingu}} is a [[Keyblade]] found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.  It can be found by speaking to [[Yuna]], [[Rikku]] and [[Paine]] in [[Hollow Bastion]] after the [[War of 1000 Heartless]].  The Keyblade is designed with wings on it, and is named after the three girls who give it to [[Sora]], who call themselves the "[[Gullwings]]".
The '''Gull Wing''' is a [[Keychain]] for [[Kingdom Key|Sora's Keyblade]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.


The Gull Wing is one of the weakest Keyblades found in the game, having a strength bonus of only 3 and no magic enhancement, but it has [[Kingdom Hearts II Abilities|Experience Boost]] as its attached ability, which enables Sora to gain increased experience if he is in critical health.

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
During the events at [[Radiant Garden]], the [[Gullwings]] initially aid [[Maleficent]] as mercenaries, but once [[Organization XIII]]'s [[Nobodies]] drive Maleficent away, the Gullwings are left without an ally or purpose. They take [[Sora]]'s suggestion to help [[Leon]] protect the town, after [[Donald]] hints that Leon might have treasure to offer. When Sora, Donald, and [[Goofy]] later return to the castle of Hollow Bastion, they apologize for deceiving the Gullwings into helping Leon, who did not actually have treasure. Although the Gullwings originally planned to take all of Sora's treasure as payback, they tell Sora that they heard from Leon how hard his journey is, and offer him the treasure chest containing the Gull Wing Keychain instead.

During the [[War of 1000 Heartless]], the Gullwings originally aided [[Maleficent]] in the hopes of obtaining treasure. After Maleficent and her [[Heartless]] were forced to retreat from Hollow Bastion, proving unable to overcome both Sora and the [[Nobody|Nobodies]] that opposed them, the Gullwings were left without allies. Still wanting to be involved in the events, they took to Sora's suggestion to side with [[Leon]] after being told by [[Donald]] that Leon had treasure to offer.

It is attached by a lobster claw clasp to the Keyblade's hilt, this resembling that of Paine's sword, particularly the spade design where the handle meets the blade (originally a spade-shaped skull in ''Final Fantasy X-2'').


When Sora, Donald and [[Goofy]] approach the Gullwings again later at the castle, they apologize for deceiving the Gullwings into helping Leon, who had no real treasure.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

During the events at Radiant Garden, the Gullwings initially aid Maleficent as mercenaries, but once Organization XIII's Nobodies drive Maleficent away, the Gullwings are left without an ally or purpose. They take Sora's suggestion to help Leon protect the town, after Donald hints that Leon might have treasure to offer. When Sora, Donald, and Goofy later return to the castle of Hollow Bastion, they apologize for deceiving the Gullwings into helping Leon, who did not actually have treasure. Although the Gullwings originally planned to take all of Sora's treasure as payback, they tell Sora that they heard from Leon how hard his journey is, and offer him the treasure chest containing the Gull Wing Keychain instead.

Design[edit]

The Gull Wing's appearance takes after the trio of young women by the same name. Its Keychain is the symbol of the Zanarkand Abes, the blitzball team that Final Fantasy X's Tidus and Jecht belong to, which was then reused as part of Yuna's Gunner dressphere; the symbol itself is attached to the weapon by the wrapping of Yuna's long ponytail from Final Fantasy X-2. It is attached by a lobster claw clasp to the Keyblade's hilt, this resembling that of Paine's sword, particularly the spade design where the handle meets the blade (originally a spade-shaped skull in Final Fantasy X-2).

The guard is made from two feathers that were once a part of Rikku's outfit in Final Fantasy X (tied to the end of the two braids protruding from the base of her hair), while the blade is made from the bows seen on the arms of her Thief dressphere from Final Fantasy X-2.

The teeth of the Keyblade is quite literally the wing of a gull, the mascot of the Gullwings sphere hunter group.

The Gull Wing takes its name from the Gullwings, a group of sphere hunters that appear in Final Fantasy X-2, who are led by Yuna, Rikku, and Paine.

Gameplay[edit]

The Gull Wing is one of the weakest Keyblades found in the game, having a strength bonus of only +3 and no magic enhancement, but it has Experience Boost as its attached ability, which enables Sora to gain increased experience if he has less than half of his total HP remaining.
