Gear

Gears (ギア, Gia^?) are part of the Panel System featured in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. These panels change the form of the playable character's weapons, serving as a replacement of the Keychain system of previous games. Most Gears have room to attach Units (ユニット, Yunitto^?), which boost the weapon's stats or unlock hidden abilities.
