Circle of Life

The Circle of Life (サークルオブライフ) Keyblade is from Kingdom Hearts II. In a way, it almost replaces the Jungle King from Kingdom Hearts, except the Circle of Life is much stronger at its point in the game it is obtained than that of the Jungle King.

This Keyblade also appears in the Birth by sleep secret video; its cutting edge can be seen after the storm blows at Terra.

Acquisition
It is acquired after cheering up Simba in the Pride Lands.

Design
It looks like the Keyblade is made of wood, possibly symbolizing the fact that it is received from the Pride Lands. The chain of the keychain is a vine, rather than metal links. The guard and keychain is a lion head, specifically the head of Simba as drawn by Rafiki in the movie The Lion King. Its name comes from the theme and a song from the first Lion King.

Other Media
Circle of Life is one of the Keyblades packaged with the Series 1 Play Arts Figures Master Form figure.
