At its maximum upgrade, Oblivion's damage is on par with the Ultima Weapon, though it has slightly less magic than the latter.Ī limited edition Oblivion was released with four other Keyblades in a special Play Arts Figures accessory set, Play Arts Arms. In Kingdom Hearts III, Oblivion can be upgraded within the Keyblade Forge. 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. The ground combo consists of a lone rush forward, followed by a 360 degree spinning slash on the left side, and ends with an upward slash with a slight jump. Riku can equip Oblivion by equipping the Pandora's Gear. Surprisingly, Riku is the only one able to wield the Oblivion Keyblade in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, though Roxas can wield it in conjunction with Oathkeeper. The Oblivion is often associated with the memories that are passing away, such as when Sora reaches the last floors of Castle Oblivion, or when Roxas begins forgetting Xion following her destruction. The Keyblade's name means a "state of forgetting or having forgotten", and its Japanese name has the same basic meaning. When the Oblivion is summoned in Kingdom Hearts II, black smoke and violet sparks surround it. The diamond in its hilt also resembles the diamond in the original logo of Hollow Bastion. A chain-like design runs up the length of the blade. The Keychain's token is a black version of Sora's crown necklace. It is a collaboration between Square Enix and The Walt Disney Company and is under the direction of Tetsuya Nomura, a longtime Square Enix employee.
