After watching the Smash trailer for the last DLC character to come to the game today... and learning that Sora of Kingdom Hearts, of all people, is to be the last to join the roster, I decided to honor the moment with pixel art of his trademark Keyblade!

The Kingdom Key, also known as the Keyblade, is the most recognizable and the first Keyblade to appear in the Kingdom Hearts series, and is the form used in almost all depictions of the weapon. It has appeared somewhere within every game in the series.
The Kingdom Key draws out the true power of Sora's Keyblade, even though it is not the strongest Keychain. As such, it is the true form of his Keyblade, which means that it is also the default form of Roxas's and Xion's Keyblades. The Kingdom Key is not wielded by Sora exclusively; Riku, Roxas, and Xion have also used it, and King Mickey is often seen wielding the 'Kingdom Key D', a color-inverted version of the weapon.

For Roxas and Xion, the Keyblade they wield is in fact Sora's Keyblade, existing in multiple places at once. Roxas also obtains a second Kingdom Key after absorbing Xion. The Kingdom Key D, a color-inverted Kingdom Key which King Mickey wields, is in fact the Keyblade from the Realm of Darkness, which he obtained to mirror Sora's Keyblade from the Realm of Light.

In 'Final Fantasy Brave Exvius', the Kingdom Key is obtained as Sora's Trust Master reward, with a strong +160 Attack power. It is equippable only to Sora and his 'Kingdom Hearts 3' variant.

I did what I could for its design. And I only take credit for the pixel art, nothing more. No scabbard here... since when did Keyblades even have scabbards?
