'''[[Oathkeeper]]''' and '''[[Oblivion]]''' are a pair of [[Keyblade]]s wielded simultaneously by [[Roxas]]. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', Oathkeeper and Oblivion are counted together as a single weapon. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Roxas instead is equipped with both individual Keyblades at the same time with  [[Synch Blade]].

In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Roxas can only dual-wield Oathkeeper and Oblivion during his second fight against Axel. In this state, Roxas can do a three-strike combo both on the ground and in the air, with his ground finisher a spinning slash that can knock enemies airborne and his aerial finisher being similar to Sora's [[Hurricane Blast]] finisher. He can also execute the ground combo finisher by pressing {{button|square}} on the ground. In addition to dual-wielding, Roxas gains access to additional abilities during the fight against Axel.
