The Aubade (オウバードロード Oubādo Rōdo?, lit. "Aubade Lord") is a form of the Kingdom Key that appears in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It is one of two unique weapons that Roxas and Xion can wield.

The Kingdom Key is changed into the Aubade when the Mystery Gear is equipped.

Etymology

An "Aubade" is a song or poem evoking dawn which is traditionally a love song of two lovers parting in the morning. While not fully romantic in nature, the most defining aspects of Roxas's personality occur in Twilight Town: after leaving the Organization, he travels to Twilight Town; there, he encounters and is forced to defeat his close friend Xion, destroying her and giving up even his memories of her.

Design

The Keyblade is composed of a Japanese chokutō with light-flash shaped spikes on the top, middle, and bottom of the blade to make up its teeth and upper and lower guard, respectively.

Trivia

  • The names of Roxas's weapons generally refer to either the pain of parting and loneliness, or light phenomena. The Aubade is the only weapon to do both.
  • This Keyblade, along with the Umbrella, has a much faster swing speed than the others.
