The '''Keyblade of heart''', sometimes referred to as '''Riku's Keyblade''', or '''Dark Riku's Keyblade''', is a [[Keyblade]] created by [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] from the [[heart]]s of the [[Princesses of Heart]], with the exception of [[Kairi]]. In addition to being a combat weapon like Sora's Keyblade, this Keyblade has the ability to unlock a person's heart, releasing the [[darkness]] within. Its name, if it has one, is currently unknown — it has only been referred to by its type. | The '''Keyblade of heart''', sometimes referred to as '''Riku's Keyblade''', or '''Dark Riku's Keyblade''', is a [[Keyblade]] created by [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] from the [[heart]]s of the [[Princesses of Heart]], with the exception of [[Kairi]].

"Keyblades of heart" are one of the three types of Keyblades, alongside the two kinds of "Keyblades of Worlds' Hearts" — "Keyblades of darkness", which only King Mickey uses, and "Keyblades of light", which the other Keyblade wielders use.<ref>'''''[[Director's Secret Report XIII]]''''', p. 28; '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "Keyblades may have one of two make-up; light-side, or dark-side. That is not a 'good or evil' classification, however. Like interior versus exterior keys, the only difference is merely from which side they are able to work. The door of each world is normally closed, the keyhole itself in an invisible state. These Keyholes, which appear when a Keyblade is held up to them, are not locked. This means that once the Heartless find a door it is very easy for them to open it and steal the heart, which is why Sora went around locking those doors in the first title. Keyblades were also used for a purpose different to any prior intentions or reasons - on the door that opens on the heart that stands as the gathering of the world's hearts, Kingdom Hearts - to guard against the darkness leaking from within that heart. In order to do that, the door had to be shut from both the side of light and the side of darkness, which required the use of Keyblades from both the Realm of Light and the Realm of Darkness. That is why King Mickey went to get a Keyblade from the Realm of Darkness - to serve as the counterpart to Sora's Keyblade of the Realm of Light." Translation via Goldpanner.</ref> Unlike the other two types of Keyblade, this type of Keyblade did not exist until the Realms were altered by the [[Keyblade War]]. As part of this development, it was no longer possible to open the door to [[Kingdom Hearts]] without using a Keyblade of heart, which could only be completed by gathering seven hearts of pure light.{{storylink|Xehanort's Report VI}} | "Keyblades of heart" are one of the three types of Keyblades, alongside the two kinds of "Keyblades of Worlds' Hearts" — "Keyblades of darkness", which only King Mickey uses, and "Keyblades of light", which the other Keyblade wielders use.<ref>'''''[[Director's Secret Report XIII]]''''', p. 28; '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "Keyblades may have one of two make-up; light-side, or dark-side.
