Story[edit]
Kingdom Hearts II[edit]
During the events atRadiant Garden, theGullwings initially aidMaleficent as mercenaries, but onceOrganization XIII'sNobodies drive Maleficent away, the Gullwings are left without an ally or purpose. They takeSora's suggestion to helpLeon protect the town, afterDonald hints that Leon might have treasure to offer. When Sora, Donald, andGoofy later return to the castle of Hollow Bastion, they apologize for deceiving the Gullwings into helping Leon, who did not actually have treasure. Although the Gullwings originally planned to take all of Sora's treasure as payback, they tell Sora that they heard from Leon how hard his journey is, and offer him the treasure chest containing the Gull Wing Keychain instead.
Design[edit]
The Gull Wing's appearance takes after the trio of young women by the same name. ItsKeychain is the symbol of theZanarkand Abes, the blitzball team thatFinal Fantasy X'sTidus andJecht belong to, which was then reused as part of Yuna'sGunner dressphere; the symbol itself is attached to the weapon by the wrapping of Yuna's long ponytail fromFinal Fantasy X-2. It is attached by a lobster claw clasp to the Keyblade's hilt, this resembling that of Paine's sword, particularly the spade design where the handle meets the blade (originally a spade-shaped skull inFinal Fantasy X-2).
The guard is made from two feathers that were once a part of Rikku'soutfit inFinal Fantasy X (tied to the end of the two braids protruding from the base of her hair), while the blade is made from the bows seen on the arms of herThief dressphere fromFinal Fantasy X-2.
The teeth of the Keyblade is quite literally the wing of a gull, the mascot of the Gullwings sphere hunter group.
The Gull Wing takes its name from the Gullwings, a group of sphere hunters that appear inFinal Fantasy X-2, who are led by Yuna, Rikku, and Paine.
Gameplay[edit]
The Gull Wing is one of the weakest Keyblades found in the game, having a strength bonus of only +3 and no magic enhancement, but it hasExperience Boost as its attached ability, which enables Sora to gain increased experience if he has less than half of his total HP remaining.
