The '''Keyblade of Heart''', sometimes referred to as '''Riku's Keyblade''', or '''Dark Riku's Keyblade''', is a [[Keyblade]] created by [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] from the [[heart]]s of the [[Princesses of Heart]], with the exception of [[Kairi]]. In addition to being a combat weapon like Sora's [[Kingdom Key]], this Keyblade has the ability to unlock a person's heart, releasing the [[darkness]] within. Its name, if it has one, is currently unknown — it has only been referred to by its type. | The '''Keyblade of Heart''', sometimes referred to as '''Riku's Keyblade''', or '''Dark Riku's Keyblade''', is a [[Keyblade]] created by [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] from the [[heart]]s of the [[Princesses of Heart]], with the exception of [[Kairi]].

Keyblades of heart are one of the three types of Keyblades, alongside the two kinds of "Keyblades of Worlds' Hearts" — Keyblades of darkness, such as [[King Mickey]]'s [[Kingdom Key D]], and Keyblades of [[light]], such as Sora's Kingdom Key.<ref>'''''[[Director's Secret Report XIII]]''''', p. 28; '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "Keyblades may have one of two make-up; light-side, or dark-side. That is not a 'good or evil' classification, however. Like interior versus exterior keys, the only difference is merely from which side they are able to work. The door of each world is normally closed, the keyhole itself in an invisible state. These Keyholes, which appear when a Keyblade is held up to them, are not locked. This means that once the Heartless find a door it is very easy for them to open it and steal the heart, which is why Sora went around locking those doors in the first title. Keyblades were also used for a purpose different to any prior intentions or reasons - on the door that opens on the heart that stands as the gathering of the world's hearts, Kingdom Hearts - to guard against the darkness leaking from within that heart. In order to do that, the door had to be shut from both the side of light and the side of darkness, which required the use of Keyblades from both the Realm of Light and the Realm of Darkness. That is why King Mickey went to get a Keyblade from the Realm of Darkness - to serve as the counterpart to Sora's Keyblade of the Realm of Light." Translation via Goldpanner.</ref> Unlike Keyblades of light and darkness, Keyblades of heart did not exist until the Realms were altered by the [[Keyblade War]]. As part of this development, it was no longer possible to open the door to [[Kingdom Hearts]] without using a Keyblade of heart, which could only be forged by gathering seven hearts of pure light.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', [[Xehanort's Report VI]]:''' "The third type of key, the Keyblade of heart, came into existence when the World was reorganized after the Keyblade War. Without this key, Kingdom Hearts is forever beyond a person's reach. Only by gathering together seven hearts of pure light—hearts completely devoid of darkness—may one forge a Keyblade of heart and open the door to Kingdom Hearts."</ref> | |||
