[[File:Master Xehanort KHIII.png|x150px|left]]

[[Master Xehanort]] is a Keyblade Master that devoted himself to the darkness, wishing to obtain the [[χ-blade]] and thus enter [[Kingdom Hearts]]. To this end, he contrived numerous plots and manipulated many people into becoming pawns of his device. Eventually, he used his Keyblade to transfer his heart into [[Terra]]'s body, becoming [[Terra-Xehanort]] which eventually was split into [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] and [[Xemnas]].

His time-traveling younger incarnation, [[Young Xehanort]], was initially unable to wield a Keyblade in ''Dream Drop Distance'', though when the reincarnated Master Xehanort possessed Young Xehanort's body when it was under attack by [[Mickey]] and [[Riku]] he was able to do so, and by the time he appeared in ''Kingdom Hearts III'' he could wield a Keyblade without aid.

The [[No Name]] Keyblade is claimed by [[Young Xehanort]] to be the oldest surviving Keyblade, and to possess a connection to the Keyblade War.<ref>"'''[[Destiny]]'''", '''Young Xehanort''': "But of all the Keyblades in existence, Master Xehanort's is the most ancient. That is my destiny. But it has yet.. to become a reality." / '''Braig'''" "Hey, it's okay. This is all connected to the ancient Keyblade War, isn't that right?"</ref> Its primary Keychain gives it a black form resembling the Foretellers' Keyblades, but with a goat<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]'', Story menu:''' "His hands rest upon the hilt of a Keyblade decorated with the emblem of a goat."</ref> in place of their respective animals. It contains a [[Gazing Eye]] on its head and keychain token. While possessing his younger self's body, Master Xehanort uses a Keychain that gives his Keyblade a shape resembling a fusion of its normal form and the {{c|No Name|KHBBS}} Keychain obtained by Terra, Ventus, and Aqua.

[[File:Mickey Mouse KHIII.png|x150px|left]]

As an apprentice to Master Yen Sid, [[Mickey]] wields the [[Star Seeker]], a gift to him from his master.{{fact}} His adventures with Ventus and Aqua actually comprise his [[Mark of Mastery exam]], and after their disappearance, he returns to the Mysterious Tower, feeling he has failed the exam, his friends, and his master. He returns the Star Seeker to Yen Sid, but Yen Sid returns it, revealing that Mickey has in fact passed his exam and become a Master.<!--cite to Famitsu, using quote from here: http://www.kh2.co.uk/kingdom-hearts-3d/news/nomura-interview-on-kingdom-hearts-3d.php-->

[[File:Riku KHIII.png|x150px|left]]

Terra [[bequeathed]] a Keyblade to [[Riku]] on the Destiny Islands before the destruction of the Land of Departure, and makes Riku promise to keep it a secret.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep}} Riku was the one originally chosen to wield the [[Kingdom Key]], but he was denied that when he chose to submit to darkness, weakening his heart and causing the Keyblade to choose Sora. Instead, Riku uses the [[Soul Eater]], a sword which grows more powerful when used with darkness, and the developing form of his Keyblade. When Sora first arrives at [[Hollow Bastion]], Riku is able to temporarily take the Keyblade as well, but Sora's heart proves to be the strongest, and he reclaims the Keyblade from Riku. After being possessed by [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], Riku is used as a wielder for the incomplete [[Keyblade of heart]], which Xehanort had forged from the hearts of six of the seven [[Princesses of Heart]]. However, this Keyblade is destroyed after Riku is defeated by Sora, who uses the Keyblade to free Kairi's heart from his body.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts}}

When Riku encounters Roxas in The World That Never Was, he is again able to temporarily wield a Keyblade, Roxas's Oblivion. However, while as a Keyblade wielder he is able to fight with the weapon, it was not his, and Roxas soon reclaims it.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days}}

Riku's Soul Eater eventually matures into the [[Way to the Dawn]], his true Keyblade. This Keyblade represents Riku's nature as a being of light and darkness in both name and form. Riku was also able to summon a second Keyblade in the form of the [[Destiny's Embrace]], which he gives to Kairi as her permanent Keyblade.<ref>'''''[[Director's Secret Report XIII]]''''', p. 28; '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "There isn't just one Keyblade for the side of light and one for darkness. There are as many Keyblades in existence as there are hearts qualified to wield them. At this stage, the only requirement that has been made clear is that someone must have a "strong heart", but there are other requirements that haven't been spelled out yet which I plan to reveal another time when I have the chance. Riku's Way to the Dawn and the Keyblade Kairi wields are of the same nature as Sora's Keyblade. However, what with one having developed with the Soul Eater as intermediary and one having been handed to Kairi by Riku, I would like you to think that something not fully explained, outside the usual method of acquirement, is going on here."

[[File:Ventus KHIII.png|x150px|left]]

[[Ventus]] is a Keyblade apprentice from before the events of the first ''Kingdom Hearts''. During the age of fairy tales as a member of the [[Dandelions]], he originally wielded [[Missing Ache]]. Ventus would later go on to use a different Keyblade named [[Wayward Wind]]. His Keyblades are often shorter than those of Terra and Aqua. During his final battle at the Keyblade Graveyard, Vanitas possesses his body in order to summon and wield the χ-blade. However, Ventus destroys it in the Dive to the Heart, using his own Keyblade. When Aqua tries to figure out where she should carry him to, Ven's body reacts and summons Wayward Wind to open the pathway to the ruined Land of Departure.

[[File:Lingering Will KHIII.png|x150px|left]]

After Master Xehanort possessed Terra's body and became [[Terra-Xehanort]], Terra's powerful thoughts and desires animated his armor as the "[[Lingering Will]]". As a remnant of Terra, it is able to wield his [[Ends of the Earth]] Keyblade. After the Lingering Will ceases to exist, Terra regains his heart and expels Xehanort, and his Keyblade reverts to its original form.

File:Ends of the Earth KHBBS.png|[[Ends of the Earth]]

[[File:Vanitas (Masked) KHIII.png|x150px|left]]

As a being created from the darkness of [[Ventus]]'s heart, [[Vanitas]] uses a Keyblade of his own called the [[Void Gear]]. Aside from his own Keyblade, he comes into possession of the legendary [[χ-blade]] after fusing with Ventus; due to their failure to meet the requirements for forging the weapon on their own, however, this version of the χ-blade proves to be incomplete and unstable, eventually leading to its destruction by Aqua and Ventus.

[[File:Ventus-Vanitas KHBBS.png|x150px|left]]

[[Ventus-Vanitas]] is the result of the union between Ventus and Vanitas during their final battle. As such, Ventus-Vanitas is able to wield the [[χ-blade]], though it is an incomplete version due to lacking the proper number of hearts needed to complete the weapon.

[[File:Sora 03 KHIII.png|x150px|left]]

[[Sora]] gained the ability to wield the Keyblade when Riku succumbed to the darkness in order to leave the [[Destiny Islands]]. The Keyblade he had been bequeathed by Terra rejected him and passed to the next closest vessel, which happened to be Sora. By joining his heart with Ventus's Sora also gained the ability to use Ventus's Keyblade and, by extension, dual wield. Sora has been recognized as having the skill to become a Keyblade Master, and is even often informally referred to as one, but has not officially received the title. [[Sora's Heartless]] was also able to continue utilizing his Keyblade after Kairi helped him to regain physical form.

Sora's Keyblade is a Keyblade from the [[Realm of Light]], and it appears before him as his home world, Destiny Islands, is consumed by the Heartless. Its default form is the [[Kingdom Key]], which uses a {{w|Hidden Mickey}} as its token.

[[Armored Ventus Nightmare]] is Sora clad in Ventus's Keyblade Armor. When Riku travels to Sora's Dive to the Heart, the Armored Ventus Nightmare appears out of the darkness and engages him in battle. As Armored Ventus Nightmare, Sora continues to wield the Kingdom Key, though it has been corrupted by darkness.

[[File:Roxas KHIII.png|x150px|left]]

In order to duplicate this ability, and to replace Roxas with an even more malleable puppet, the Organization created the Replica, Xion. Xion gradually leeches Roxas's powers over the Keyblade, but when the two are forced into mortal combat, Roxas eventually defeats her and reabsorbs his lost powers. This awakens his latent [[Synch Blade]] ability, in which he is able to wield both the [[Oathkeeper]] and [[Oblivion]], which represent Sora's memories of Kairi and Riku.

[[File:Data-Sora KHREC.png|x150px|left]]

[[Data-Sora]] wields the Kingdom Key. He utilizes this mighty blade to fend off Heartless and [[Bug Blox]]. Data-Sora gains a data Keyblade in the data [[Awakening]], but loses it to the real [[Maleficent]] in data [[Agrabah]]. However, the strength of his heart allows him to gain a real Keyblade in data [[Hollow Bastion]].

He often uses a [[Formchange]] to transform his Keyblade into a pair of [[chakram]]s.
