-'''Synch Blade''' is an ability which allows a [[Keyblade]] wielder to summon another Keyblade during battle. So far, the only characters to use this are [[Roxas]], who can use this ability to summon his two Keyblades, the [[Oathkeeper & Oblivion]], and [[Sora]] while in [[Valor Form]], [[Master Form]], and [[Final Form]].
+{{nihongo|'''Synch Blade'''|シンクロブレード|Shinkuro Burēdo|lit. "Synchro Blade"}} is an ability that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It allows the user to summon a second [[Keyblade]] during battle. So far, the only characters to use this are [[Roxas]], who can use this ability to wield his twin Keyblades [[Oathkeeper & Oblivion]], and [[Sora]] while in [[Valor Form]], [[Master Form]], and [[Final Form]] as well as [[Double Form]].
-Roxas gained the ability to use Synch Blade after defeating [[Xion]], giving him the ability to wield both Keyblades. They are both technically Sora's keyblades, and Roxas possesses all of his abilities, so the Keyblades are his to use as well.
+==Story==
+===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
+Roxas can use two Keyblades at once because he has both Sora and [[Ventus]]'s Keyblades, due to Ventus's heart remaining within him when Sora became a Heartless.<ref>[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania|'''''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' Ultimania''']], '''Interviewer:''' "Is it possible that Roxas has a heart?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "It is thought that it could be Ventus’ heart... As was said in Q1, he has taken a lot of himself from Ventus. But perhaps when Sora and Roxas were separated, Ventus’ heart stayed in Roxas?" [https://www.khinsider.com/news/BBS-Ultimania-20-Mysteries-Solved-2546 Translation via Lissar].</ref> Originally, he can only wield Sora's Keyblade, but when [[Xion]] is defeated, he reawakens the ability to use Ventus's Keyblade.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]''''', p. 617; '''Interviewer:''' "Why can Roxas dual-wield?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "Sora can wield two Keyblades at once because he has Ventus's as well as his own. As Roxas is a part of Sora, he also can use two. In ''Days'', Roxas awakened his ability to dual wield after fighting Xion. In ''KHII'', once Sora absorbs him, he can also dual-wield."
