Round Fan is a pair of joke Ethereal Blades that can be wielded by Xemnas in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

Design

As the name would suggest, these Ethereal Blades are stiff, unfoldable fans with long handles. The handles are pale yellow, while the upper halves are purple, with a small gradient blending the two colors at the middle. These Ethereal Blades do not glow.

Etymology

A round fan (団扇, Uchiwa^?) is a traditional Japanese handicraft made by cutting a bamboo tube into narrow splinters and splaying them out in the radial shape of a fan, then pasting paper over them on both sides. They were widely used among ordinary people in the Edo period.

Gameplay

The ground combo consists of a single slash from left to right, a spin ending in a double slash, and a double spin ending in a double slash with knockback.

Landing a strike with the Round Fan creates a shockwave of air around the target. Landing a combo finisher creates a larger, doubled shockwave.

The aerial combo consists of a quick upward spinning slash, a double spinning slash, and a quick spin with two more slashes.
