Frozen Pride







The Frozen Pride (フリーズプライド) is Vexen's original shield, as well as a shield belonging to Goofy, that is found in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It can be upgraded to the Frozen Pride+. Goofy's version of the shield represents Vexen and is designed to resemble his version of the shield.

Design
Frozen Pride is shaped like an upside-down teardrop with two, oval chunks taken out of each side. This has the effect of making it vaguely resemble the Nobody symbol turned upside-down. The top of the shield is lined by four small spikes and a fifth, larger one in the middle. All of these spikes are blue and resemble the spikes on the Nobody logo. The edges of this shield are silver and the face of the shield is mostly blue, though the bottom tip is sky blue. There is an upside-down, sky blue triangle marking on the top of the shield, and a sky blue "V" shape in the middle of the shield. The top inside edge is also sky blue.

In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Frozen Pride+ has a different coloration. The spikes on the top of the shield and the sky blue sections on its face are now red, the edges are black, and the rest of the shield is dark indigo.

In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, the versions of Vexen and Goofy's Frozen Pride are noticeably different; while Goofy's is an exact replica of his Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix weapon, Vexen's is longer and thinner, perfect circles are missing rather than ovals, and larger spikes are present on the shield's top.

Gameplay
Goofy can equip this shield in 358/2 Days mission mode by equipping the Pandora's Gear. Goofy's ground combo for this weapon starts with an upward slash, followed by a series of 360 degree spins, finshing with another upward slash coupled with a slight jump. The aerial combo consists of an upward slash, followed by a downward slash, and finishes with Goffy doing a backflip, jumping on the shield and driving it downward.
