'''[[Oathkeeper]]''' and '''[[Oblivion]]''' are a pair of [[Keyblade]]s wielded simultaneously by [[Roxas]]. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', the two Keyblades are counted together as a single weapon. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Roxas instead is equipped with both individual Keyblades at the same time.
When at his full strength in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', [[Roxas]] is able to use his [[Synch Blade]] ability to wield '''[[Oathkeeper]]''' and '''[[Oblivion]]''', two [[Keyblade]]s symbolic of [[Sora]]'s memories of [[Kairi]] and [[Riku]], respectively.<ref>'''''{{w|Weekly Famitsu}}'''''<!--If anyone knows which volume issue and page this is, please add it-->, '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "The Keyblades the boy who knows Sora is holding are the Oathkeeper and Oblivion from the first game.

==Story==
==Story==
Roxas is initially unable to use his [[Synch Blade]] ability because of [[Xion]]'s existence, but her destruction awakens the ability, which he activates as he begins his assault on [[The World That Never Was]]. However, he is confronted by [[Riku]], who defeats him and drags his unconscious [[body]] back to [[Twilight Town]], where he is given false memories in order to keep him complacent within [[The Other Twilight Town]]. However, by the sixth day there, Roxas has regained his memories, and when [[Axel]] attacks him for leaving the [[Organization]], Roxas summons the two Keyblades and defeats Axel.
Roxas is not able to use his Synch Blade at first because of [[Xion]]'s existence, but her destruction awakens the ability, which he activates as he begins his assault on [[The World That Never Was]]. However, he is confronted by [[Riku]], who defeats him and drags his unconscious [[body]] back to [[Twilight Town]], where he is given false memories in order to keep him complacent within the [[simulated Twilight Town]]. However, by the sixth day there, Roxas has regained his memories, and when [[Axel]] attacks him for leaving the [[Organization]], Roxas summons the two Keyblades and defeats Axel.


Later, when Sora enters The World That Never Was, he is accosted by Roxas, who is once again dual-wielding Oathkeeper and Oblivion, and the two [[Keyblade wielders]] battle inside Sora's [[Dive to the Heart]]. During the fight, Sora is able to take Roxas's Keyblades and use them against their owner, delivering the fatal blow.

A few months later, when Roxas is brought back into existence during the [[Keyblade War#The Second War|Second Keyblade War]], he is still able to use his Synch Blade ability, thus allowing him to dual-wield his Oathkeeper and Oblivion once more to help Sora and the [[Guardians of Light]] against the [[Real Organization XIII|thirteen seekers of darkness]].

In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Roxas can only dual-wield Oathkeeper and Oblivion during his second fight against Axel. In this state, Roxas can do a three-strike combo both on the ground and in the air, with his ground finisher a spinning slash that can knock enemies airborne and his aerial finisher being similar to Sora's [[Hurricane Blast]] finisher. He can also execute the ground combo finisher by pressing {{button|square}} on the ground. In addition to dual-wielding, Roxas gains access to additional abilities during the fight against Axel.
In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Roxas can only dual-wield Oathkeeper and Oblivion during his second fight against Axel. In this state, Roxas can do a five-step combo both on the ground and in the air, with his ground finisher a spinning slash that can knock enemies airborne and his aerial finisher being similar to Sora's [[Hurricane Blast]] finisher. He can execute the ground combo finisher at any point mid-combo by pressing {{button|square}}. In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', during the boss fight against Roxas, Sora can temporarily use Oathkeeper and Oblivion by pressing The End during Roxas's Duel Attack and telekinetically wield the twin Keyblades in conjunction with his own Keyblade. The Keyblades react according to Sora's actions, spinning around Sora during normal attacks and piercing through Roxas during finishers.
