Oblivion

Line 192:

==Design==

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.
