The Kingdom Key D (キングダムチェーンD, Kingudamu Chēn D, lit. "Kingdom Chain D"), also known as the "Kingdom Key -Dark Side-" (キングダムチェーン ダークサイド, Kingudamu Chēn Dākusaido, lit. "Kingdom Chain Darkside"), is the default form for Mickey's Keyblade, and appears in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II, and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It is a Keyblade of the Realm of Darkness which the King obtained to mirror Sora's Keyblade from the Realm of Light. In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, it can be upgraded to the Kingdom Key D+, the Kingdom Key D++, and the Kingdom Key DΩ.

The Kingdom Key D was originally seen with Mickey in the final scene of Kingdom Hearts, and appears throughout Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II, and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days as King Mickey's Keyblade. Before the events of Kingdom Hearts, when he was an apprentice of Master Yen Sid, King Mickey instead wielded the Star Seeker Keyblade.

Design

The Kingdom Key D is a mirror of the Kingdom Key, and this purpose is reflected in its coloration - where Sora's Keyblade is silver, Mickey's is gold, and vice-versa. Even the rainguard, which is blue on Sora's Kingdom Key, is red on Mickey's, although both Keyblades possess a dark-colored handle.

Gameplay

In Kingdom Hearts II, this Keyblade is used whenever Sora faints during a boss battle and King Mickey enters play. However, it lacks a finishing move, so King Mickey is unable to finish off any of these bosses; he must instead revive Sora in order for the boss to be defeated.

In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days Mission Mode this is King Mickey's default Keyblade requiring no gear to be equipped for use. The ground combo consists of a diagonal upward slash from the right leg, followed by the same slash from the left leg, and finishes with a 360° spinning slash. The aerial combo is the exact same as when he uses the Star Seeker Keyblade, consisting of a horizontal slash to the right finishing with a vertical slash upward, followed by the upward slash leading into a 360° spin with the Keyblade held above the King's head, and ends with a series of three thrusts as he descends.

Other appearances

The Kingdom Key D also appears in the secret videos Another Side, Another Story [deep dive] and The Gathering; in the former, in King Mickey's brief appearance he is seen wielding it, while in the latter, Aqua pulls it from the ground at the Keyblade Graveyard.

Through the use of a cheating device, a version of the Kingdom Key D named the "Light Seeker" (ライトシーカー, Raito Shīkā) can be obtained for Ventus in the Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.
