One of the pieces of text in the hidden ending video for ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', "[[the Gathering]]", mentions a [[Keyblade War]]. Hundreds of Keyblades can be seen stuck into the ground during this cinematic, as well as the extended "[[Birth by sleep (Video)|Birth by sleep]]" cinematic at the end of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''. It should be noted that none of these seemingly abandoned Keyblades, nor those of protagonists [[Aqua]], [[Terra]] or [[Ventus]], have keychains, although the significance of this detail is currently unknown as the history of the Keyblades is unknown and the trio have been shown later to have keychains attached to their keyblades in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep]]''. Many of these Keyblades seem to be based on Keyblades already shown in the series, but many more are entirely original and new. [[Master Xehanort]] also stated that the thousands of Keyblades left are the ruins of the Keyblade War.

==Keychains==
Sora's Keyblade is known as the "Keyblade of Worlds' Hearts"{{fact}}, and nearly all of his Keychain tokens represent some important item from a world he has saved. Usually, Sora is not actually shown to be given the Keychain from one of his many friends, so it is possible that after saving a world, or completing a major step in that direction, the world itself rewards him with the ability to access its power in the form of a unique Keychain.
Keychains that Sora receives from his friends, or from defeating challengers in the Olympus Coliseum, always use a token that is somehow intimately symbolic of that person. While Sora's Keyblade is not specifically a Keyblade of human hearts, like the explicitly named [[Keyblade of People's Hearts]], it is likely that the connections between his heart and those he meets allow him to sometimes access their power as well. Sora and Roxas's [[Oathkeeper]] and [[Oblivion]] are said to specifically embody Sora's memories of Kairi and Riku and Roxas's oath to Xion before her death (Oathkeeper) as well as her demise (Oblivion) and so it is extremely likely that for "people-Keyblades" like these, the Keychains act as a physical embodiment of the memories Sora and Roxas has of those that are important to them.
