Synch Blade



Synch Blade is an ability which allows a Keyblade wielder to summon another Keyblade during battle. So far, the only characters to use this are Roxas, who can use this ability to summon his two Keyblades, the Oathkeeper and Oblivion, and Sora while in Valor Form, Master Form, and Final Form.

Tetsuya Nomura stated that Roxas's ability to use two Keyblades implies that Sora can use Synch Blade without the Drive Forms, due to the fact that Sora has every ability that Roxas has. This is proven when Sora takes Riku's Way to the Dawn during Xemnas's final battle with them. While handling Way to the Dawn and his Keyblade, Sora does not handle the Keyblades like Roxas or his other Forms do. He holds Way to the Dawn in a backhanded grip, and his Keyblade is held normally. Sora also has many attacks that he uses that he has not used before in any Form including Standard Form.

Another interesting fact to note is that the Synch Blade ability is gained from Ventus' Heart's presence inside Sora's. Xion's Keyblade was in fact Ventus', which she was able to use because of how close she was to Sora's heart. When Xion faded back to Sora, Roxas took Ventus' Keyblade, which then got passed onto Sora.
