Xion wields two keyblades (or close enough to work facsimiles) because She is a Replica-type lesser Nobody (as opposed to Greater Nobodies who retain their identity. Roxas is sort of an amalgam Nobody of both Ventus and Sora. So Sora (and by extension, Roxas) is able to wield both Ven's and his own keyblade due to possessing two hearts. (So that it doesn't slip away into the darkness) So Sora contains Ven's heart within himself enabling him to wield Ven's keyblade but Bequeathing Sora in the process. The scene shows Ventus' station of awakening (also damaged reflecting his damaged heart) Ven's heart is greeted in this metaphysical space by a newborn Sora's heart which offers to shelter Ven's heart inside itself till it can heal. The keyblade in kh1 is really Riku's but when Riku faltered and gave in to the darkness the kingdom key instead chose Sora who was not only strong of heart himself but was housing an additional heart (more on that in answer 3.) Riku instead was not Chosen by a keyblade until the end of chain of memories when he gained the resolve and strength of heart to face and tame his own darkness.ģ.The reason Sora and Roxas can wield two keyblades (and why Roxas looks like Ventus) is back in the prelude scene of BBS when Xehanort is leaving Ventus on Destiny Island after his heart was damaged by Xehanort forcibly extracting the darkness from Ven's heart to make Vanitas. Terra did this to Riku on Destiny Island and Aqua was going to do the same to Sora but upon noting that Riku had been bequeathed she changed her mind as she didn't want them to turn on each other like aqua and terra had.

(Similar to a knighting or at least that is what it reminds me of) this 'awakens' the bequeathed to eventually wield a keyblade of their own. In which the existing Keyblade wielder allows the new person to hold the keyblade for a moment in a specific ceremony. The ritual for making a new keyblade's chosen is called the bequeathing. (Since you need one of light and dark to shut the door to kingdom hearts) Which implies it already existed independent of mickey's heart. I do know King Mickey went to the Realm of Darkness to find a Darkness aligned keyblade. (I can't recall if he went to find one or made a new one. Riku didn't lose his keyblade chosen status but needed a new keyblade. they have a mundane physical part as well. Keyblades appear to be only semi-metaphysical in nature. I presume each keyblade wielded by the main characters are summoned from here having chosen a new person with sufficient strength of heart as a master. All those keyblades now lie dormant and masterless in the keyblade graveyard. To fight for it they fashioned facsimiles of the X blade. I think KH union X covers the war but I am not sure) the people of the original unified world (before the split into separate worlds) became covetous of Kingdom Hearts which was guarded by the X (greek letter Chi pronounced 'key') blade.

Okay… so… (other redditors please correct me if I am wrong)įrom what I understand most (99% of them) keyblades already existed back from the days of the keyblade war (an indeterminately long time before BBS.
