While observing the fallout of theKeyblade War with theNo Name, the black box can be seen by Luxu's side.
Kingdom Hearts III[edit]
Xigbar catches wind of Maleficent searching for the box, deciding to send Luxord to look for it to hide his connection; he vaguely explains that it holds secrets guarded by Keyblade wielders.
Maleficent travels to various worlds along with her subordinate,Pete, searching for the black box, which, according to her, contains theBook of Prophecies.Luxord, a member of thereal Organization XIII, has been tasked to find it, but he admits that he does not know what the box looks like or its contents. This leavesSora confused on why the Organization would be searching for it. Before leaving, Luxord comments that the box contains "hope", further mystifying Sora.
Maleficent eventually determines that the black box does not currently exist, which is why she cannot find it anywhere, and that it will only appear after the second Keyblade War. AfterMaster Xehanort's final defeat, Luxu stands in the Keyblade Graveyard with the box as theforetellers arrive while Maleficent and Pete watch from a distance.
Design[edit]
The box contains thirteen locks — three on its left side, three on its right side, and seven on the front with the lock in the middle being slightly larger. The crest on the box lid has thirteen spikes on the outside and seven on the inside. The red sigil of the emblem contains letters which read "χsuper" in it.
