"Every Keyblade master is bequeathed a Keyblade of his very own. With the passing of time, as you can imagine, more and more Keyblades were forged to be handed down. But of all the Keyblades in existence, Master Xehanort's is the most ancient."
—Young Xehanort on his future self's Keyblade.

Master Xehanort's Keyblade is the default form of Luxu's Keyblade that appears in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, and Kingdom Hearts χ. It was 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.

Story

Kingdom Hearts χ

The Keyblade originally belonged to Luxu, the sixth apprentice of the Master of Masters. When Foreteller Ava tracks him down and accuses him of being the traitor sowing discord between the Unions, he brandishes the Keyblade at her.

Luxu's Keyblade was handed down until it came into the possession of Xehanort. Destiny

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.

After Master Xehanort extracts his own heart and possesses Terra's body, 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.[1]

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 3D: Dream Drop Distance

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. Destiny

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

In order to prevent Riku from rescuing Sora, Master Xehanort possesses his younger self and wields his Keyblade with a different Keychain. Once Master Xehanort has completely revived, he wields his Keyblade personally with its traditional Keychain, and attempts to place a fragment of his heart inside Sora's comatose body.

Design

Master Xehanort's Keyblade 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 horned lion, 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 an eye of darkness. The Keychain is made of small, grey links, and the token is an entangled, grey talisman with an eye of darkness. Unlike the Keyblades of the other apprentices, it lacks Terra's Mark.

The Keychain can take the form of a core for an impenetrable barrier, a claw-like weapon, a greave, or a pair of wings that allow flight.
