The No Name are three Keychains for or derived from Luxu's Keyblade.

The original No Name, also known as "Master Xehanort's Keyblade", is the default form of Luxu's and Xehanort's Keyblades that appears in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Kingdom Hearts χ, Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover, and Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-. It was originally given to Luxu by the Master of Masters to be handed down over time, becoming the most ancient surviving Keyblade, and eventually came into the possession of Xehanort, who continued to wield it when he became Terra-Xehanort. A digital simulation of the Keyblade is wielded by No Heart, the Mirage Arena simulation of Xehanort.

The next No Name is a Keychain for Terra's, Ventus's, and Aqua's Keyblades that appears in the North American, PAL, and Final Mix versions of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Terra, Ventus, and Aqua are rewarded with the No Name for defeating Young Xehanort.

The final No Name, also known as "Young Xehanort's Keyblade", is an additional Keychain for Xehanort's Keyblade that appears in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance.

Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover
The Keyblade was given to Luxu by the Master of Masters when he received his assignment; it initially had no name, and in jest Luxu titled it the "No Name". The Master had placed his own Gazing Eye within the blade, granting him precognition of anything the eye would observe throughout the ages. In order to spread its purview and allow him to write the Book of Prophecies, he assigned Luxu and the Keyblade the role of leaving town with a mysterious chest, becoming a neutral observer to the events that would soon rock Daybreak Town, and passing down the Keyblade to his own apprentices so that it would survive through the ages.

Kingdom Hearts χ
When Foreteller Ava tracks Luxu down and accuses him of being the traitor sowing discord between the Unions, he brandishes the Keyblade at her.

Luxu and the Keyblade observed the final moments of the Keyblade War at the Keyblade Graveyard, granting the Master of Masters knowledge of the event.

Between Kingdom Hearts χ and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
Per Luxu's assignment, the Keyblade was handed down from master to apprentice until it came into the possession of Xehanort.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
Master Xehanort does not often draw his Keyblade, but when he needs to engage in battle or use the Keyblade's powers, he uses this Keychain to do so.

When Terra, Ventus, and Aqua confront him at the Keyblade Graveyard, Master Xehanort transforms his Keyblade into an orb of light and uses it to reveal Kingdom Hearts floating above. Afterward, he uses his blade to battle Terra and trick the youth into embracing darkness, allowing him to extract his own heart and possess Terra's body. This gestalt being, Terra-Xehanort, retains usage of this Keyblade and wields it against the Lingering Will at the Keyblade Graveyard and Aqua at Radiant Garden. When Terra's heart begins throwing off Xehanort's control, Terra-Xehanort is forced to use this Keyblade on his body to seal away both hearts, losing the ability to wield the Keyblade in the process.

Between Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts
During the descent of Radiant Garden into darkness, Terra-Xehanort regains this Keyblade and uses it to transform Ansem the Wise's apprentices into the founding members of Organization XIII.

Kingdom Hearts Re:coded
Following his revival, Braig speaks with the time-traveling Young Xehanort about Master Xehanort's plans. Over the course of this conversation, Young Xehanort mentions that this Keyblade is the most ancient Keyblade of all.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
In order to bypass Mickey Mouse's Stopza spell and prevent Riku from rescuing Sora, Master Xehanort possesses his younger self, which also temporarily grants Young Xehanort the ability to wield his Keyblade with the third No Name Keychain. While Riku manages to defeat Young Xehanort, the Stopza spell expires before he can escape with Sora, and Master Xehanort completes his revival. At this point, the elderly Master wields his Keyblade personally with its traditional Keychain, and attempts to place a fragment of his heart inside Sora's comatose body.

Design
The original No Name has a dark black handle with a raised spiral carved around it. Its pommel and guard resemble black, demonic wings. The base of the blade is an etching of a goat, and the shaft is formed from two black, barbed blades, etched with a white icon resembling a bramble of thorns. The teeth are formed in the shape of a demonic wing, and are set with the Master of Masters' Gazing Eye. Unlike the Keyblades of the Master's other apprentices, it lacks Terra's Mark. The Keychain is made of small, grey links, and the token is an entangled, grey talisman with an eye of darkness. Xehanort and No Heart are able to transform this Keychain to take the form of a core for an impenetrable barrier, a claw-like weapon, a, a pair of wings that allow flight, or an orb of light.

The second No Name is predominantly colored in different shades of blue and is decorated with elaborate, spiked shapes. The tip of No Name appears to be a stopwatch, while the teeth are diamond shape spikes that are connected by a black web structure similar to the design on the base of the top spire of Memory's Skyscraper. The Keychain shares the time theme represented in the blade, and its token is an hourglass. The shaft of No Name resembles Xehanort's Ethereal Blade-like weapons, and the blade features an ever-present glow.

The third No Name mixes design elements of the first two. Like the original, it includes demonic wings at the beginning of the shaft, a horned lion head at the tip similar to the goat head on the other Keyblade, and the Gazing Eye. Like the second, it is predominantly colored in different shades of blue and is decorated with elaborate, spiked shapes. The tip is modeled after a stopwatch, while the teeth are diamond-shaped spikes that are connected by a black web structure similar to the design on the base of the top spire of Memory's Skyscraper. The Keychain shares the time theme represented in the blade, with an hourglass as its token. Its shaft resembles Young Xehanort's Ethereal Blades, as does the blade with its neon like glow. Xehanort is able to transform this Keychain to take the form of a whip.

Birth by Sleep
Master Xehanort wields the original No Name against Terra, Aqua, and Ventus.
