The Maverick Flare is a Keychain for Sora's, Roxas's, and Xion's Keyblades that was introduced in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It can be upgraded to the Maverick Flare+.

Design

The handle of the Maverick Flare is a simple grey rod. The blade is yellow orange at its base and slowly darkens to red as it nears the tip. The blade fans out near the tip, which is flat at the top and slanted. The teeth of the Keyblade are comprised of several spikes shaped like those of the Nobody sigil, all of which slant upward slightly. The guard is black and does not connect to the base of the blade, similar the guard on the Rainfell Keyblade, and it sports two black spikes on either side. The Keychain token is a red-orange color.

It shares its shape with Ominous Blight.
