The '''Kingdom Key''' is the most iconic [[Keyblade]] in the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' series, as it appears within each game of the series, and frequently serves as the default Keychain for cutscenes. In ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', it is the only Keychain that Sora can visibly use, while in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', it is the only Keychain of Xion's to appear in Story Mode, and excluding the final Mission, the only Keychain of Roxas's to appear in any cutscene. Furthermore, while ''Kingdom Hearts II'' normally depicts the equipped Keyblade within cutscenes, the Kingdom Key appears by default in the cutscene leading up to the [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless]], and within the Album pictures of Jiminy's Journal. In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', it can be upgraded to the '''Kingdom Key+''' and the '''Kingdom Key++'''. | The '''Kingdom Key''' is the most iconic [[Keyblade]] in the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' series, as it appears within each game of the series, and frequently serves as the default Keychain for cutscenes.

The Kingdom Key draws out the true power of Sora's Keyblade, even though it is not the strongest [[Keychain]]. As such, it is the true form of his Keyblade, which means that it is also the default form of Roxas's and Xion's Keyblades. | The Kingdom Key draws out the true power of Sora's Keyblade, even though it is not the strongest [[Keychain]]. As such, it is the true form of his Keyblade, which means that it is also the default form of Roxas's and Xion's Keyblades. It was also briefly the default form of [[Riku]]'s Keyblade (until Sora made it his own), and [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]] is often seen wielding the [[Kingdom Key D]], a color-inverted version of the weapon. | ||
For Roxas, the Keyblade he wields is in fact Sora's Keyblade, existing in multiple places at once.<ref>'''''[[Director's Secret Report XIII]]''''', p. 29; '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "The Keyblade Roxas used was the same one that Sora lost temporarily in Castle Oblivion. And then the two of them were using that Keyblade at the same time, which is accounted for by the relationship between Roxas and Sora if you think about it. However, the fact that both of them are dual wielders actually means something rather major. This is connected to the story of "Xehanort's memories", and I cannot touch that topic with a ten foot pole right now."

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. Roxas awakens his ability to dual-wield with his will to not forget Xion, who also wielded a Keyblade."
