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-"[1] (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.[2] 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.
[edit] 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.
[edit] Gameplay
In Kingdom Hearts II, the Kingdom Key D 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, the Kingdom Key D is King Mickey's default Keyblade, and does not require gears to be equipped. 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.
[edit] Other appearances
The Kingdom Key D also appears in the secret videos Another Side, Another Story [deep dive] and The Gathering; in the former, Mickey wields the Keyblade during his brief appearance, 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.

[edit] Notes and references
- ↑ SQUARE ENIX PRODUCT Online Catalog
- ↑ Director's Secret Report XIII, p. 28; Tetsuya Nomura: "In order to work, the door needs to be closed from both the Dark side and the Light side and both a Dark and Light realm Keyblade are needed. The King needed a Keyblade opposite from the realm of Light Keyblade that Sora had, so he went to the realm of Darkness to obtain one."
