Zola 3,038 Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) I thought this too, at first, before the wise Flaming Lea reminded me that Sora can dual wield, and thus must have one of his own, since only one of the two keyblades belongs to Ventus. [Edit: ... And Flaming Lea beat me to saying just that. ] Edited October 1, 2012 by Zola 1 HarLea Quinn reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FireRubies1 1,325 Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) No. I thought Ven was the reason Sora got the keyblade early or something? Owo. And what they said^ Edited October 1, 2012 by FireRubies1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Axtwyt 500 Posted October 1, 2012 No. Sora's main Keyblade was once Riku's Keyblade. Once he proved the worth of his heart ("My friends are my power"), he received his very own Keyblade. Ventus has nothing to do with Sora's ability to wield a Keyblade. Ventus only matters with Sora being able to dual-wield Keyblades. 2 Sora_Roxas26 and Aqua7KH reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorual 607 Posted October 1, 2012 so if ven wakes up, sora keeps the key blade? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kishira 2,854 Posted October 1, 2012 Sora has proved that he is more than worthy of wielding the Keyblade; I'm not really sure how Sora or Aqua will go about waking up Ven, but I'm sure Sora will be fine as far as wielding goes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Kuno 2,512 Posted October 1, 2012 Ugh! How many times have we been over this? Nomura confirmed years ago that Sora has his own Keyblade and that only the second one that appears when he's using Sync Blade is Ven's. The strength of Sora's heart and the connection he shares with others will allow him continue using the Keyblade for the rest of his life even after he gives Ven's heart back.

Britipinojeff 95 Posted April 7, 2013 wait, but if ventus wakes up then Sora can't use his keyblade to duel wield now can he? and then Roxas(if he gets to become his own person like so many think he will) won't be able to oathkeeper oblivion duel wield. if Roxas also becomes his own person can he and Sora still use the keyblade at the same time?

Ruran 481 Posted April 7, 2013 If Sora hasn't earned being a Keyblade wielder at this point then KK is just being bitchy.

It's possible that neither Sora nor Roxas will be able to dual wield anymore after Ven is awakened but because dual wielding is such a staple of the series now I reckon they'll still be able to do it because "hearts". For all intensive purposes Roxas has his own heart, he just needs to be chosen by his own Keyblade so eventually he probably won't need to use Sora's anymore. Since they'll always have a special connection though it's also possible that they could still use the KK at the same time but eventually there wouldn't be a need for it. 1 PublicLibraryx reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neosmith 4 Posted April 7, 2013 Honestly, the whole issue of how and why Sora can use key blades is yet another problem with how the series has treated its own backstory. I mean, the way it originally went is that the Keyblade chose Sora, because Riku had chosen darkness over light. But the sequels have rendered this notion mirky. BBS revised it so that Riku wasn't chosen by the keyblade itself, but rather by Terra to be his successor. Heck, originally Roxas was able to dual-weild by himself, then it turned out he could only do that because he absorbed Xion And the whole notion of whether Ven has anything to do with Sora being able to wield is also debatable, because the reveal that he has a keyblade wielder's heart inside his own strongly suggests, whether Nomura intended it or not, that that is what makes him a wielder. I'm not sure if Sora's dual-wielding was ever explained in the games themselves anyway. It's more of a mechanic than anything else, really and Sora only does it after merging with another party member. So, whatever the case is, Sora will be able to use the key blade or two in-game, for otherwise there would be no gameplay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, whatever the case is, Sora will be able to use the key blade or two in-game, for otherwise there would be no gameplay. Nomura himself stated that Sora was always destined to wield even without Ven's heart and said that Vens heart only gives him the ability to dual wield .This is why Sora still wields after Vens heart was in Roxas and Sora was a walking heart from the end of KH1 till he reunited with Roxas in KH2. He wields his own . This has been addressed many times . He's also stated why Sora and Roxas dual wield : *Q4: Why can Roxas dual-wield?* A: Because he can use both Sora’s and Ventus’ keyblades. Sora can wield two keyblades at once because he has Ventus’ as well as his own. As Roxas is a part of Sora, he also can use two. In Days Roxas awakened his ability to dual wield after fighting Xion. In KHII once, Sora absorbs him, he can also dual-wield. Again if Roxas did not have Ven's heart he would have no means to access Ven's keyblade. Nomura: Well, it isn’t that Roxas has physically inherited Xion’s keyblade, but more that Xion has awakened it within Roxas. In the KH series there are a lot of complex reasons why someone can use a keyblade, but basically you need a “heart” to be able to wield one. So strictly speaking, they are being influenced by Sora. also : Namine tells Riku that in order for Sora's memories to be restored, both Sora's Nobody and Xion must no longer exist. So he takes it on himself to defeat them, but when he and Roxas fought, was that the first time he had realized that Roxas was that Nobody? Nomura: Riku only realizes it when Roxas takes off his hood and he can see his face, and he responds to his call. Until then he only half believed. When he first met Xion, he didn't think that she was Sora or Kairi's Nobody, and it was the same with Roxas. When he first saw Roxas, he had no proof of who he was. So that's why he lost to Roxas, he was surprised at him using a real keyblade rather than an imitation like Xion's, and he called out to him. Part of Riku didn't really want to believe that his best friend really had a Nobody. Xions keyblade is fake which Nomura confirms and is also confirmed in game by Riku himself. The emotion and despair Roxas felt from Xions death awakened Ven's keyblade.

Neosmith 4 Posted April 8, 2013 Quote Riku had two because of his affiliation with Ansem SoD. Dude, Faux-sem/Terranort having a keyblade wasn't even planned until they got to 3D. So, it can't apply here. Riku had a second keyblde, because the plot called for it, so Kairi could get the Destiny'e embrace. I'm not sure if Riku should even have a first keyblade to begin with, as his originally had moved on to Sora but rules regulating the blades are pretty loose in the game's continuity.

I'm not sure if Riku should even have a first keyblade to begin with, as his originally had moved on to Sora but rules regulating the blades are pretty loose in the game's continuity. Since it was never established where Riku got that second Keyblade revision can be called on it. I wouldn't say that Riku having a second Keyblade was completely for the sake of plot convenience, it was already established that Sora being able to dual wield somehow related to Roxas, at that point it just wasn't established how and why Roxas could. I take it they were trying to create the same build up with Riku and his apparent ability to also dual wield. Not to mention if it was strictly because the plot demanded it (which I won't deny was the case, just for different reasons) they would have just had Kairi pull one out herself. No need to overcomplicate things otherwise by having Riku lend her one. Sure, why not? Keyblades chose their masters and as far as shown the ability stays with a person forever even if they don't have their original Keyblade for one reason or another. Riku had the ability, a qualified heart, no Keyblade, so another chose him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
