| | '''Synch Blade''' is an ability which allows a [[Keyblade]] wielder to use two Keyblades at once during battle. It is unknown if in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' series, there are any characters that are able to equip this ability. So far, only [[Roxas]] is able to use this ability to summon his two Keyblades naturally, the [[Oblivion]] and the [[Oathkeeper]] in battle, and [[Sora]] while in [[Valor Form]], [[Master Form]], and [[Final Form]]. |

| {{nihongo|'''Synch Blade'''|シンクロブレード|Shinkuro Burēdo|lit. "Synchro Blade"}} is an ability that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It allows the user to summon a second [[Keyblade]] during battle. So far, the only characters to use this are [[Roxas]], who can use this ability to wield his twin Keyblades [[Oathkeeper & Oblivion]], and [[Sora]] while in [[Valor Form]], [[Master Form]], and [[Final Form]] as well as [[Double Form]].

| ==Story==
| | Sora appears to be able to use Synch Blade during the final battle with [[Xemnas]] without using any drives. |
| ===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
| |
| Roxas can use two Keyblades at once because he has both Sora and [[Ventus]]'s Keyblades, due to Ventus's heart remaining within him when Sora became a Heartless.<ref>[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania|'''''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' Ultimania''']], '''Interviewer:''' "Is it possible that Roxas has a heart?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "It is thought that it could be Ventus’ heart... As was said in Q1, he has taken a lot of himself from Ventus. But perhaps when Sora and Roxas were separated, Ventus’ heart stayed in Roxas?" [https://www.khinsider.com/news/BBS-Ultimania-20-Mysteries-Solved-2546 Translation via Lissar].</ref> Originally, he can only wield Sora's Keyblade, but when [[Xion]] is defeated, he reawakens the ability to use Ventus's Keyblade.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]''''', p. 617; '''Interviewer:''' "Why can Roxas dual-wield?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "Sora can wield two Keyblades at once because he has Ventus's 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." [https://www.khinsider.com/news/BBS-Ultimania-20-Mysteries-Solved-2546 Translation via Lissar].</ref> After Sora and Roxas reunite, Sora is able to use Synch Blade within Valor, Master, and Final Form, but since Sora possesses every ability that Roxas had,<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''''': "All of Roxas's abilities and munny have been passed on to Sora."</ref>{{?}}<!--use cite to original journal--> it is theoretically possible for Sora to use Synch Blade naturally, without going into a Drive Form.{{fact}}<!--This is based on a KH2 interview quote from Nomura-->

|
| ==Mechanics==
| | Tetsuya Nomura stated that Roxas' ability to use two Keyblades implies that Sora '''can''' use Synch Blade without the Drive Forms, due to the fact that Roxas has every ability that Sora has. |
| In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Synch Blade is a {{c|support ability|kh2}}. It grants the user access to the abilities of both of their weapons.

| ==Learning Synch Blade==
| | During [[Another side, Another story...|Another side, Another story]], after Roxas throws Oblivion to Riku, the Kingdom Key appears in his hand. This may mean the Synch blade ability allows the user to 'create' as many Keyblades as they need, though usually only summoning the amount they can easily wield at once. |
