Like his erstwhile friend [[Master Xehanort]], Master Eraqus rarely draws his Keyblade. When he does fight, he is able to use the Keyblade to channel his own light magic. However, even after Master Eraqus is slain by Xehanort's hand, and the [[Land of Departure]] is devoured by darkness, his Keyblade remains. After destroying [[Vanitas]], Aqua takes a comatose Ventus back to the Land of Departure, where they find Eraqus's Keyblade. Following Eraqus's prior instructions, Aqua uses the Keyblade to transform the world into [[Castle Oblivion]], a labyrinth which can only be fully navigated by herself, and hides [[Ventus]]'s body within. Although Aqua keeps this Keyblade, she does not actually wield it until after battling [[Terra-Xehanort]] with her own [[Stormfall|Keyblade]] and sacrificing it to save the remnants of Terra within him. She continues to wield it throughout her journey through the [[Realm of Darkness]].

The Master's Defender is Master Eraqus's Keyblade. It is later passed on to Master Aqua, and it appears in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. As a digital simulation of Master Eraqus's Keyblade Armor, the Armor of Eraqus also wields this blade.

History

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

The blade made its entrance during the Mark of Mastery Exam of Terra and Aqua, where Master Eraqus summoned balls of light for his pupils to practice with. However, the exam is sabotaged by Master Xehanort, causing a chain of events that led to Terra, Aqua, and Ventus to go on separate journeys into other worlds.

The blade is not seen again until Ventus returns and confronts Eraqus, and with a heavy heart, summoned the keyblade to eradicate Ventus, but Terra intervened, sending Ventus to another world and dueling his master, only stopping after realizing what they were doing. However, Xehanort sent a dark shot through Eraqus's heart, killing him, and leaving behind only the blade. It is left in the ruins of the Land's Departure, until Aqua returns to the world, and taking the blade as her own. She uses the blade to transform the Land into Castle Oblivion, leaves Ventus to sleep, and sets out to find Terra.

After relinquishing her own keyblade, Aqua begins to use master's defender in the realm of darkness.

0.2

Aqua uses the Defender across her travel to Cinderella's Castle, fighting multiple heartless along the way.

Design

The Master's Defender has a smooth, cylindrical, grey shaft that tapers outward at both ends. It has a boxy guard, made up of two small, light grey boxes and copper rod. The base of the guard connects to the grip, and both sport several small indentations lining them. The grip itself is somewhat unique in that, while most Keyblade grips are cylindrical, the Master's Defender's grip is squared. The teeth are in the shape of an "E". The "E"-shaped teeth and the square grip are likely an allusion to "Square-Enix", which Eraqus's name also references. Its Keychain is made of several simple chain links and its token is the Terra's Mark symbol that appears on Eraqus's, Ventus's, Terra's, and Aqua's clothing.

The Master's Defender's Japanese name reflects that it is used exclusively by characters with the title of "Master". "Defender" can mean "guardian", which may reference its use by Keyblade Masters to guard the Land of Departure.
