Oathkeeper & Oblivion
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 Keyblades symbolic of Sora's memories of Kairi and Riku, respectively.[1] Roxas is able to wield two Keyblades because he is the Nobody of Sora, who possesses his own heart as well as Ventus's.[2] ContentsStory[edit]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 Second Keyblade War, he is still able to use his Synch Blade ability, thus allowing him to duel-wield his Oathkeeper and Oblivion once more to help Sora and the Guardians of Light against the thirteen seekers of darkness. Gameplay[edit]In the Story Mode of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Roxas can only dual-wield the Oathkeeper and Oblivion during the first half of Mission 93. However, in Mission Mode he can wield the two Keyblades by equipping the Zero Gear with three Ability Units. Roxas's ground combo begins with two slashes, left to right, then a spinning move, all done with a simple press of the The aerial combo begins with two quick slashes to the left and right, followed immediately by a mid-air slash with some spin, two moves that could easily be mistaken as one. Another In Kingdom Hearts II, Roxas is only able to dual-wield Oathkeeper and Oblivion during his 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. In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, during the boss fight against Roxas, Sora can temporarily wield Oathkeeper and Oblivion with telekinesis in conjunction with his own Keyblade by pressing The End during Roxas's Duel Attack. The Keyblades react according to Sora's actions, spinning around Sora during normal attacks and piercing through Roxas during finishers. In Kingdom Hearts III, Roxas becomes an ally of Sora against Saïx, still being able to dual-wield Oathkeeper and Oblivion. For the Re Mind scenario, Roxas is playable (only during the Saïx fight) and retains most of his dual-wielding abilities along with a few new tricks to give him the upper hand in combat. His Dual Shot finisher involves him twirling his Keyblades, shooting out a ball of light straight at the opponent for heavy damage. Gallery[edit]
