The '''Keychains''' that are attatched to a keyblade are their for few possible reasons. As of one they carry the consciousness or semi conscioussness and will the keyblade itself holds. Two the keychains can act as talismans, they 'funnel' or release magic through the keyblade. Each keychain resonates its own type of energy or frequency allowing the keyblade depending on the power and frequency of its carrier/ bearer to have a unique appearance and ability.  
The '''Keychains''' are somewhat a special equipment that upgrades a '''Keyblade''', as seen with Sora's [[Kingdom Key]]. While Kingdom Key appears to be the most basic form of a Keyblade, the Keychains actually increase it's overall statuses, giving it a new appearance as well as granting special abilities. The power of enhancement in the Keychain may be caused by the relationship between one another, as evident while Riku reclaims the Kingdom Key in Hollow Bastion, despite having the Key, he cannot change or enhance the Kingdom Key. Furthermore, it might suggests that the stronger one's friendship with one another, the stronger the bond it'll create, increasing the power of enhancement.  


While King [[Mickey's Kingdom Key]], [[Riku]]'s [[Way to the Dawn]], and [[Kairi's Keyblade]] all have Keychains, Sora's seems to be the only one that can change them. However, this may be because only Sora collects them, and the others feel they are unimportant. It seems that the Keychain is what makes a [[Keyblade]] a Keyblade; [[False Keyblades]], such as the [[Dark Keyblade]], lack such a feature.  
It should be noted that when Sora is equipping another Keyblade, he is actually re-equipping the Keychain, thus enhancing Kingdom Key and changes it's appearance. While King Mickey's Keyblade, Riku's Way to the Dawn holds a Keychain, some Keyblades lacks the Keychain, as evident by Riku's Dark Keyblade forged from the Seven Princesses Hearts. A theory suggests that while the Keyblade served as a "body", the Keychain serves as a "Heart", since Xehanort's Heartless possessed Riku, he cannot gain access to the Keychain due to the lack of Heart. However, this may be a hoax, as later seen in [[Sunset Horizons]], where three Keyblade knights possesses Keyblades without Keychains.

Different Keychains change the size, shape and function of Sora's Keyblade. Seen here are the Kingdom Key, Oathkeeper, Oblivion, and Kingdom Hearts' Ultima Weapon

The Keychains are somewhat a special equipment that upgrades a Keyblade, as seen with Sora's Kingdom Key. While Kingdom Key appears to be the most basic form of a Keyblade, the Keychains actually increase it's overall statuses, giving it a new appearance as well as granting special abilities. The power of enhancement in the Keychain may be caused by the relationship between one another, as evident while Riku reclaims the Kingdom Key in Hollow Bastion, despite having the Key, he cannot change or enhance the Kingdom Key. Furthermore, it might suggests that the stronger one's friendship with one another, the stronger the bond it'll create, increasing the power of enhancement.

It should be noted that when Sora is equipping another Keyblade, he is actually re-equipping the Keychain, thus enhancing Kingdom Key and changes it's appearance. While King Mickey's Keyblade, Riku's Way to the Dawn holds a Keychain, some Keyblades lacks the Keychain, as evident by Riku's Dark Keyblade forged from the Seven Princesses Hearts. A theory suggests that while the Keyblade served as a "body", the Keychain serves as a "Heart", since Xehanort's Heartless possessed Riku, he cannot gain access to the Keychain due to the lack of Heart. However, this may be a hoax, as later seen in Sunset Horizons, where three Keyblade knights possesses Keyblades without Keychains.

The subject of Keychain is taken a deeper role later in Birth by Sleep, where all of the Keyblade wielders possesses Keyblades without Keychain, with a notable exception of Master Xehanort. It should also be noted that all the Keyblades in the battle posseses no Keychains as well, with the exception of Kingdom Key, Way to the Dawn, and King Mickey's Keyblade
