TheUltima Weapon is aKeychain forSora, Data-Sora,Riku,Terra,Ventus, andAqua's Keyblades introduced inKingdom Hearts. It is one of the most powerful Keyblades, and requires an incredible amount of effort to obtain in each game. Unlike other Keychains, the Ultima Weapon has different designs across the series, sharing only the name and the phenomenal quality of its stats.

Design[edit]

The Ultima Weapon Keyblade is named after theeponymous sword in theFinal Fantasy series. The Ultima Weapon is typically shown within theFinal Fantasy series as a long sword, with a glowing blue/white blade and a golden handle. It is usually the strongest weapon for the main protagonist in the games it appears in.

TheKingdom Hearts version of the Ultima Weapon is strongly reminiscent of theDream Sword, but is wrapped in an ornate goldfiligree in a pattern slightly reminiscent of fish bones. The teeth of the blade are a golden version of the crown charmSora wears, and theKeychain token, attached to the blade by shimmering thread, is a gildedheart, used throughout the series to refer to a complete being, instead of a Heartless or Nobody. It also bears one heart just above the guard and another just next to the crown making up the teeth of the blade, both of which are present in theKingdom Hearts II version. In the game, the blade's size is smaller compared to the hilt, compared to its design in the official artworks; this resembles a real-life section of a sword known as the tang (the section of the blade that is mounted into the handle). Small circular ripples and bolts of light are emitted whenever Sora strikes a target with it. This version is also used inKingdom Hearts Chain of Memories andKingdom Hearts Re:coded. InKingdom Hearts Re:coded, the names of its upgrades in the Japanese version use letters that, when appended to the end of a name, typically indicate greatness or superiority: A, S, X and Z. In the English version, the names instead use the mathematical symbol for "greater than", and each upgrade adds an additional "greater than" symbol.

TheKingdom Hearts II version retains most of itsKingdom Hearts version elements, except for the colors (blue, white and gold), the crown-and-heart keychain, and the Dream Sword. It also includes many more crowns into its design, including one at the tip of the blade, near the crown "teeth", two making up the guard, three in the chain, and the aforementioned combination of a crown and the original heart Keychain as the token. The blade has been segmented into two "halves" (possibly symbolizing Sora and Roxas) representing a roman numeral for 2 (II).

TheKingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep version has elements from both previousKingdom Hearts games. Its style is similar to theKingdom Hearts version, but its color scheme is similar to theKingdom Hearts II version. It also uses stars and theWayfinder design instead of crowns and hearts. It is mostly a pale, luminescent blue with white and gold. The teeth and Keychain are a periwinkle blue Wayfinder, with the original heart in the middle instead of the Terra's Mark symbol.

TheKingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance version has the design similar like theKingdom Hearts version with minor changes. The color scheme is somewhat a combination between the first and secondKingdom Hearts games, as it has yellow on the blade connector, and the teeth and light blue color on the guard and the filigree ornament. The teeth is a SpiritDream Eater's emblem within a crown. The keychain is a variation on theKingdom Hearts II heart and crown design, except with the heart above the crown, as well as a pair of white wings behind it. The hit sound effects change depending on whether it is used by Sora or Riku.

TheKingdom Hearts III version has a color scheme of silver, red, and dark grey; two hearts adorn the weapon, one engraved into the hilt and the other at the base of the teeth. The blade has been segmented into three tines, representing the Roman numeral for three (III).

Gameplay[edit]

The Ultima Weapon is an extremely powerful Keyblade with an impressive reach.[?] It is generally held as the most powerful Keyblade in each game that it appears, with balanced stats near or at the maximum for that game. However, there are some Keyblades which exceed the Ultima Weapon in a specific stat, such asStrength, while being inferior in other stats, such asMagic. InKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, the Ultima Weapon is actually inferior to theRoyal Radiance across the board. InKingdom Hearts III, a LV1 Ultima Weapon has a lower Magic stat than most other Keyblades, but when raised to LV10 it is only second to theClassic Tone.

InKingdom Hearts II,Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, andKingdom Hearts III, the abilities attached to the Ultima Weapon are some of the most useful in the game. The Decisive Pumpkin inKingdom Hearts II, however, is commonly preferred for physical damage despite its lower strength due to itsCombo Boost ability. TheKingdom Hearts III version starts off with both Combo Boost andAir Combo Boost which cements it as the strongest physical Keyblade, in addition to being required forUltimate Form.

Other appearances[edit]

Both theKingdom Hearts and theKingdom Hearts II versions of Ultima Weapon were released with three other Keyblades in a specialPlay Arts Figures accessory set,Play Arts Arms.

Through the use of a cheating device, textureless versions of the Ultima Weapon can be obtained inKingdom Hearts II. These are the "Edge of Ultima", a version of theKingdom Hearts Ultima Weapon with a glitched appearance, having arbitrary gradient colors instead of its intended texture, and the "Detection Saber", a second copy of the original as well, except slightly larger and with different colors. When these Keychains are accessed in Sora's Items menu, no picture of the Keyblades are shown, only map icons.
