Talk:Realm of Nothingness
So I decided to edit this page (it was before I created my account, so I'm not listed as the contributor, but whatever). The reason I decided to edit it is because it made no sense to me based on the information in the games. This is what I have concluded from playing the games:
(Spoiler Warning!!!)
I've been all over the net about Kingdom Hearts and Keyblades and everyone seems totally lost and confused about this subject--so here's my two cents:
As of KH II there are 4 known Keyblade wielders:
Sora, Riku, Kairi and Mickey (Roxas doesn't count, he can only wield because he is Sora's Nobody. His Keyblades are merely shadows/memories of the real one Sora wields, which is why they retain the same forms).
There are four known realms: Light, Darkness, Twilight and Nothingness (which has yet to appear in-game).
Sora = Light (Kingdom Key)
Mickey = Darkness (Darkside)
Riku = Twilight (Way to Dawn)
Kairi = Nothingness (unknown name)
"Why does Kairi wield the Keyblade of Nothingness?" you may ask... Well, consider what we know about the Realm of Nothingness. DiZ spent time there and spoke about it. What did it take for him to survive there? He had to "remember his past". When does Kairi receive her Keyblade from Riku? Shortly after she "remembers her past".
A few other notes:
1) The "keyblade" Riku used in KH I was not a real keyblade (the red and black blade), meaning it doesn't come from any of the realms, it only has the shape of a keyblade. It had no keychain. Riku did not recieve his true Keyblade until (presumably) some time during KH II (the first battle with him in The Land of Dragons, he still had his Soul Eater sword). Riku and Sora battled for control of the Kingdom Key during KH I, but Riku lost since Sora's heart was "stronger" (i.e., more Light oriented).
2) Roxas wields Kingdom Key, Oathkeeper and Oblivion because of the symbolism. Kingdom Key represents the memory of his true self (Sora), Oathkeeper represents the memory of Kairi, and Oblivion represents the memory of Riku. They are Sora's closest friends, and therefore, his strongest memories.
3) Mickey wield's Darkside because he has a strong heart that remains uncorrupted, even in Darkness.
As for why Riku had Kairi's Keyblade in the first place? I can only speculate. Perhaps that Keyblade belonged to DiZ, and he gave it to Riku to pass on to Kairi. I don't know. It's the only question about this particular subject, so far as I can tell, that is still completely unanswered at this point.
