{{TalkSephiroth0812|time=09:06, 20 March 2012 (UTC)|text=The thing that is special about this one is that it does not ''only'' unlock hearts (any keyblade in the hand of a qualified master with the knowledge can do that), it also '''unlocks the darkness''' in that heart, as evidenced by unsealing Maleficent's dragon form when used on her. Why do you think Sora became a heartless? Because his darkness was overflowing his heart due to the influence of the KoPH. Losing your heart doesn't automatically mean you will become a heartless, you also have to be overcome by darkness. As for Xemnas' KH we need to keep in mind that this one was different than the one seen in BBS and "glimpsed" in KH 1. Xemnas' KH was made by capturing human hearts and force them together to form a Kingdom Hearts, the one in BBS and KH 1 is the original, real Kingdom Hearts which is made up of the hearts of whole worlds (including the human hearts). This one is, as known so far, reachable by two methods. Either by using the seven princesses to open the Door to Darkness which leads into the dark realm where KH resides (long method) or by using the X-blade to summon KH directly to you and then use the X-blade to unlock it.}}

::Master Xehanort can also unlock the darkness of the heart. Case in point: Vanitas. The only thing I'm really noticing is that the KoPH allowed Sora to do it without all of the dark powers & experience supposedly necessary.[[User:Neo Bahamut|Neo Bahamut]] 19:28, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
:::KH1 also indicated that there was only one, legendary Keyblade for each realm, with the KoPH being an artificial anomaly. Any attempt to reconcile its presentation in KH1 with the overflowing glut of Keyblades we get in KH2 and beyond ends up being nonsensical or having plot holes, ''especially'' Nomura's official attempts.
:::The current retcon seems to be: Riku was incorrect, anyone can unlock hearts; the X-blade is necessary to open the door to the true Kingdom Hearts, an immediate union of all worlds' hearts that you can use to instantly rewrite the universe, while the KoPH and possibly other Keyblades (see KH2) can only open the door to the artificial Kingdom Heartses created by manually amassing the hearts of people and worlds.
:::Although, knowing Nomura, this will be retconned ''again'', with some handwave that Xehanort was also mistaken, or that it was really SoraBackFromTheFuture writing the Xehanort Reports.[[Special:Contributions/192.249.47.177|192.249.47.177]] 19:57, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
::::As far as I can remember, KH1 just implied that there was only 1 Keyblade, & also contained numerous hints that this may not be true.[[User:Neo Bahamut|Neo Bahamut]] 18:42, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::Mickey's, too. The hints could be taken either way, though; especially since it was presented as a legendary item that chooses its wielder, it could easily have been that its last wielder was a duffer. KHBbS decided to go with "It was intrinsically meant for Riku and yet went to Sora instead, despite plenty of dark-wielders having Keyblades of light and Riku eventually making his heart just as strong as Sora's." A lot of the meaning of Sora proving he was more worthy for the Keyblade was lost when Nomura wrote it so that Riku just said "Eh, I'll just make a new one."[[Special:Contributions/192.249.47.177|192.249.47.177]] 22:01, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
== Official Name ==
As per the Xehanort's Report VI the official name in the localization is the Keyblade of Heart axing the people's part out of it.
:Despite it being a year since I requested it, no one has yet provided the Japanese text used in that place in the Xehanort Report, as mentioned above. Once someone does and we can confirm that they are the same (instead of similar terms where one could be the specific name and the other is a group name), then we can move it.[[Special:Contributions/192.249.47.177|192.249.47.177]] 13:37, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
:: I believe that would be here in the Director's Secret Report V when he first talked about the 3 types of Keyblade? http://www.kingdomhearts3.net/images/anotherreportpage28and29.jpg I don't believe its been referred to any other way as anything else but I may be wrong. Anyway the thing has always been referred to by the keyblade's family type but never a specific name I think? --Lycropath 10:37, 8 May (PST)
== Incomplete χ-blade? ==
So according to KH3D this is just another incomplete χ-blade or is it not? --[[User:ShardofTruth|ShardofTruth]] 17:18, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
:Component-wise, maybe, but I doubt the processes for creating them are similar to each other. I dunno.  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 23:43, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
::I think the χ-blade would be considered ''a'' Keyblade of People's Hearts, because it is formed by a heart of darkness and a heart of light - though KH3D seems to indicate that it doesn't need pure hearts, but just lights and darknesses. So maybe the χ-blade is its own type of Keyblade altogether; I'm not sure. {{User:LightRoxas/Sig}} 02:06, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
== Light Hearts = Dark Keyblade? ==
<s>Anyone noticed that despite being made from hearts of pure light this keyblade has a dark appearance? Seems kinda odd don't you think? I often wonder, does it take on a dark appearance because it's being use by a dark entity? If so, then if it were wielded by someone with a just heart, would it have taken on a lighter appearance?</s> [[User:Blackchaos27|Blackchaos27]] 05:01, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
:Nevermind. Probably irrelevant. [[User:Blackchaos27|Blackchaos27]] 21:01, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
== Renaming to the Keyblade of Heart.  ==
Here is the Japanese text for Xehanort's Sixth Report
キーブレードには3系統ある。
我々が使用する、光の世界のキーブレードと、
闇の世界のキーブレード、人の心のキーブレードである。
闇の世界のキーブレードは、闇の世界に存在するとされ、
我々の使用する、光の世界のキーブレードと対となるもので、
どちらの世界の側から使用するものかという違いでしかない。
そして、3つ目の鍵、人の心のキーブレードは、
キーブレード戦争によって、世界が再編された時に誕生したもので、
この鍵がなければ、キングダムハーツに近付けないようになっている。
心に闇を持たない、7つの純粋な光の心を集める事で、
人の心のキーブレードが完成し、
キングダムハーツへの扉が開かれるのだ。
そしてもしもキングダムハーツの扉を開く事ができれば、
すべての世界、すべての人を掌握する事も可能であると言える。
As you can see the name written here is Keyblade of People's Heart (人の心のキーブレード) so per the official localization the name would be the Keyblade of Heart.
So could we get this thing renamed?

::Any particular reason "heart" is lowercased in the article title? I assume it's to match with the Xehanort report, but frankly, I can't read Japanese. - {{User:EternalNothingnessXIII/Sig}} 17:21, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
:To match the Xehanort report, yes. There is absolutely no backing to the assumption that "Heart" is meant to be an uppercased "term".{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 18:56, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
::Speaking of which (and if you haven't seen my talk page yet), sorry about the whole messed up earlier. I didn't know that the H was supposed to be lowercase since when I saw this section, it was capitalized. Sorry for the messed up, Kryten. :(--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 19:05, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
== Sora ==
Should he be listed as a wielder?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 06:19, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
I don't see why not. He did use it.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 20:07, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
:Ehhhhhhhhhh... Is it wielding if you just stab yourself with it? (Although I guess you can consider it parallel to Aqua just picking up the Master Keeper...)  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 22:42, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
::Well, technically, yes...--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 02:52, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
:::Aqua used the Master Keeper during the Secret Episode though. But I guess it's fine to say Sora wielded the Keyblade of heart, even if it was only to stab himself (like Riku would have done before fighting him). --[[Special:Contributions/141.63.110.51|141.63.110.51]] 08:41, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
::I would hardly call that wielding it, mainly because he never actually fought with it. [[User:Blackchaos27|Blackchaos27]] ([[User talk:Blackchaos27|talk]]) 16:42, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
:::Riku is never seen fighting with Destiny's Embrace. Still, where did the lighter fluid come from? [[User:Maggosh|mag]][[User talk:Maggosh|gosh]] 16:47, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
::Which is why I don't get why Riku is considered as a wielder of Destiny's Embrace. He never fought with it, let alone used it for anything. And the circumstances behind its appearance has never been confirmed, just speculated(Where's the proof that he used the Synch Blade ability?). Stabbing yourself with a weapon you just picked up is not really wielding it. Anyone can just pick up a weapon and stab himself with it and not be considered a wielder. [[User:Blackchaos27|Blackchaos27]] ([[User talk:Blackchaos27|talk]]) 18:58, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
:We've already determined that there is no evidence that Riku used Synch Blade, but let's stay on topic here.
:The short summary is that the KoH didn't stick around long enough for a conclusive answer. Since Sora picking it up is comparable to Aqua picking up Master Keeper, though, I would say "sure, why not" on this.
:Though the next question (which should not be debated here!) would be, what would happen if someone who was not a Keyblade wielder tried to pick up an abandoned Keyblade?  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 21:50, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
::So, we're defining wielder as "used in combat or as a tool"? If so, we need to remove Destiny's Embrace from Riku, since all he did was courier it. That being said: Sora did perform the main function of the KoH on himself. He may not have fought with it, but "stabbing Sora" is basically what the Keyblade was for, and, well, Sora did that. Especially since stabbing yourself would still be a form of combat...I don't see how it doesn't count.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 05:53, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
==Unofficial name==
"Keyblade of heart" is official since that was the name given in the Xehanort Report. I don't see why the unofficial template is there, {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 18:36, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
::In which case, let's remove it.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 18:53, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
== Human Heart ==
I feel like that translation muddies the parallel with "Keyblade of Worlds' Hearts", and makes it sounds like it's linked to just one heart. Possibly also a bit of issue implying it's ''just'' from humans, as well.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 18:15, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
== Just a proto-version? ==
Should the Keyblade of Heart be consider a weaker, prototype version of the X-blade? The X-blade can unlock Kingdom Hearts, but the Keyblade of Heart can only unlock the hearts of living beings. ([[Special:Contributions/96.68.6.221|96.68.6.221]] 22:40, 11 June 2018 (UTC))
:I say no. Personally, I keep the X-blade on a completely different level- in regards to type/power/etc.. I don't recall any mention of the Keyblade of heart being connect to the X-blade at all. Plus, since most Keyblade wielders can unlock peoples' hearts with "regular" Keyblades anyways... {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 13:11, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
== Appearances ==
Hasn't this appeared in KHUX, KH3D, and KHIII via flashbacks?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 19:53, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
== Name in MoM ==
In MoM, the Keyblade is called "Keyblade of Heart" with capital H. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 13:13, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
::Of course it is. -_-; Do we mention this on the page or move it back to Keyblade of Heart? It was originally moved because since it was the name given to the Keyblade in the Xehanort's Report.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 01:35, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
