TheOblivion is aKeychain for Sora'sKeyblade introduced inKingdom Hearts. InKingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, it can be upgraded to theOblivion+. It also appears as half ofRoxas'sdual set of Keyblades alongside theOathkeeper, and was transformed from the secondKingdom Key Roxas obtained afterXion returned to Sora. The Oblivion is symbolic of Sora's memories ofRiku.[1]

Development[edit]

Originally, the Oblivion was planned to be given to Sora by Riku, similar to howKairi gives Sora the Oathkeeper. As such, the Keychain is a black version of Sora's crown necklace.[2]

Design[edit]

Oblivion is similar in shape to theKingdom Key, though is black and has a longer reach. The hilt guard is comprised of two bat-like wings extending downward. The teeth are in the shape of the Kanji for "darkness" (闇). The Keychain's token is a black version of Sora's crown icon. Like the Oathkeeper, the Oblivion's blade is hollow, but it has a chain passing through the gap. The diamond in its hilt also resembles the diamond in the original logo ofHollow Bastion.

InKingdom Hearts III, the portion of the blade with the chain is now visibly hollow, allowing see-through gaps in the chain. The handguard is now wider with the wing design pushed further up. The tip of the blade where the chain ends now has the grey portion less intricately designed.

When the Oblivion is summoned inKingdom Hearts II, black smoke and violet sparks surround it. InKingdom Hearts III, it starts out as a dark cloud in-hand and the Keyblade "stretches" out in crackling dark energy.

The Keyblade's name means a "state of forgetting or having forgotten", and its Japanese name has the same basic meaning. The Oblivion is often associated with the memories that are passing away, such as when Sora reaches the last floors ofCastle Oblivion, or when Roxas begins forgetting Xion following her destruction.

InKingdom Hearts Re:coded, the names of the Oblivion's upgrades allude to the protagonists of the series:Ventus for "Wind", Riku andTerra for "Earth", Kairi andAqua for "Sea", and Sora for "Sky".

Gameplay[edit]

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days[edit]

Riku is the only one able to wield the Oblivion Keyblade on its own inKingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, though Roxas can wield it in conjunction with Oathkeeper. Riku can equip the Oblivion by equipping thePandora's Gear or thePandora's Gear+. The ground combo begins with a forward rush, prompting aY-Combo, then a 360° spinning slash on the left side, and finishes with an upward slash with a slight jump. TheY-Combo has Riku do an uppercut into the air and jump slightly, and pressingY again has him do a violent downward thrust. The aerial combo consists of a diagonal upward slash from the right leg, the same slash from the left leg, another slash from the right leg, a smack with the teeth area, and a violent downward thrust with the top of the Keyblade.

Notes and references[edit]

  1. ^Weekly Famitsu,Tetsuya Nomura: "The Keyblades the boy who knows Sora is holding are the Oathkeeper and Oblivion from the first game. The precious "Oathkeeper", which Sora received from Kairi. The jet-black Keyblade, symbolic of Riku. The Oblivion, at first, was called Riku's Keyblade. The boy who has the Keyblades from Riku (darkness) and Kairi (light)... Who is he!?"Translation via KHInsider.
  2. ^Kingdom Hearts Ultimania,Tetsuya Nomura: "Its development name was the 'Riku Keyblade.' In early stages we planned to have Riku give you a keychain, just like the lucky charm, which is why the keychain is a different colored version of Sora's necklace."Translation via goldpanner.
