| | [[File:Hoodedroxasneo.png|thumb|Roxas utilizing both Oathkeeper and Oblivion for the first time in the World That Never Was before the battle with Riku in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'''s Story Mode]]When [[Roxas]] uses his full power, he wields both '''[[Oathkeeper]] and [[Oblivion]]'''. His strength greatly increases when used. The combination of these Keyblades is first used in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' when Roxas battles [[Axel]] for the second time. It also is used in the last mission of ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', before Roxas's battle with [[Riku]]. In the Mission Mode of ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', equipping the [[Zero Gear]] with 3 ability units attached will result in a hooded Roxas wielding Oathkeeper and Oblivion. His Limit Break will change to [[Limit Break#Dual-Wield Roxas|Magic Hour]], a powerful Limit Break in which he calls down grand beams of Light. Roxas gained the ability to use both of these weapons together at once after the death of [[Xion]]. |

| '''[[Oathkeeper]]''' and '''[[Oblivion]]''' are a pair of [[Keyblade]]s wielded simultaneously by [[Roxas]]. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', the two Keyblades are counted together as a single weapon. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Roxas instead is equipped with both individual Keyblades at the same time. | |
|
| |
|
| The Oathkeeper and Oblivion are Keyblades symbolic of [[Sora]]'s memories of [[Kairi]] and [[Riku]], respectively.<ref>'''''{{w|Weekly Famitsu}}'''''<!--If anyone knows which volume issue and page this is, please add it-->, '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "The Keyblades the boy who knows Sora is holding are the Oathkeeper and Oblivion from the first game. The precious "Oathkeeper", which Sora received from Kairi. The jet-black Keyblade, symbolic of Riku. The Oblivion, at first, was called Riku's Keyblade. The boy who has the Keyblades from Riku (darkness) and Kairi (light)... Who is he!?" [https://www.khinsider.com/news/Famitsu-showcases-Kingdom-Hearts-HD-2-8-Nomura-interview-released-8108 Translation via KHInsider].</ref> Roxas is able to wield two Keyblades because he is the [[Nobody]] of Sora, who possesses his own [[heart]] as well as [[Ventus]]'s.<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."

| | ==Speculation== |
| | When Roxas was first seen wielding these dual Keyblades in the secret movie in ''Kingdom Hearts'', he was only known as BHK (Blonde-Haired Kid). An important quote led to much speculation about who Roxas was made by Nomura in an interview before the release of ''Kingdom Hearts II'': |

| ==Story==
| | ''"The Keyblades the boy who knows Sora is holding are the Oathkeeper and Oblivion from the first game. The precious "Oathkeeper", which Sora received from Kairi. The jet-black Keyblade, symbolic of Riku. / The Oblivion, at first, was called Riku's Keyblade. The boy who has the Keyblades from Riku (darkness) and Kairi (light)...... Who is he!?"'' - Nomura |
| Roxas is initially unable to use his [[Synch Blade]] ability because of [[Xion]]'s existence, but her destruction awakens the ability, which he activates as he begins his assault on [[The World That Never Was]]. However, he is confronted by [[Riku]], who defeats him and drags his unconscious [[body]] back to [[Twilight Town]], where he is given false memories in order to keep him complacent within [[The Other Twilight Town]]. However, by the sixth day there, Roxas has regained his memories, and when [[Axel]] attacks him for leaving the [[Organization]], Roxas summons the two Keyblades and defeats Axel.
| |
|
| |
|
| Later, when Sora enters The World That Never Was, he is accosted by Roxas, who is once again dual-wielding Oathkeeper and Oblivion, and the two [[Keyblade wielders]] battle inside Sora's [[Dive to the Heart]]. During the fight, Sora is able to take Roxas's Keyblades and use them against their owner, delivering the fatal blow.

|
| |
|
| A few months later, when Roxas is brought back into existence during the [[Keyblade War#The Second War|Second Keyblade War]], he is still able to use his Synch Blade ability, thus allowing him to dual-wield his Oathkeeper and Oblivion once more to help Sora and the [[Guardians of Light]] against the [[Real Organization XIII|thirteen seekers of darkness]].

| 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.

| In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', during the boss fight against Roxas, Sora can temporarily use Oathkeeper and Oblivion by pressing The End during Roxas's Duel Attack. If successful, Sora will telekinetically wield the twin Keyblades in conjunction with his own Keyblade. The Keyblades react according to Sora's actions, spinning around Sora during normal attacks and piercing through Roxas during finishers.

| In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Roxas can dual-wield Oathkeeper and Oblivion during the first half of [[Mission 93]] in Story Mode, or by equipping the [[Zero Gear]] with three Ability Units in [[Mission Mode]].

| The ground combo begins with two slashes, left to right, then a spinning move, all done with a simple press of the {{button|dsa}} button. From there, a {{button|dsy}}-Combo is prompted, which will lead the combo into another two slashes, left to right. Another push of the {{button|dsy}} button will result in another slash with the Keyblades, then an upward slashing movement with some spin. With one final push of the {{button|dsy}}, Roxas's Keyblades will spin around him and fly into his hands, causing damage to enemies. When a normal combo is continued, it will lead into another set of two slashes, followed by another slash with some spin. Roxas will slide forward, a Keyblade extended, and slash with his other hand as a follower, and it will conclude with Roxas poising his Keyblades behind to him, then unleashing a devastating X-like slash with both weapons.

| The aerial combo begins with two quick slashes to the left and right, followed immediately by a mid-air slash with some spin, two moves that could easily be mistaken as one. Another {{button|dsy}}-Combo is prompted, which will result in an early usage of the aerial combo's finisher. The normal combo continues with another set of two slashes, one going up and another going left, which is followed by a sideways slash along with a powerful uppercut. The combo finishes with Roxas's Keyblades flying around him dangerously, then him catching them with powerful posture.

| In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', Roxas becomes an ally of Sora against [[Saïx]], still being able to dual-wield Oathkeeper and Oblivion. His ground and air combos consist of his Continuous Swing attack from his boss fight in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', and he can fire two revolving bolts of light and darkness at the enemy with [[Dual Shot]] and close in on the enemy with {{c|Cross Slash|KHIII}}. For the ''Re Mind'' scenario, Roxas is playable during the Saïx fight. As a playable character, Cross Slash acts as his gap closer, and Dual Shot acts as his Grand Magic [[Situation Command]] finisher. He can also use [[Dual Counter]] after either a [[Dual Guard]] or [[Reversal]].

| ==Gallery== | | ==Trivia== |
| <gallery>
| | *You can't Dual-Wield Oathkeeper and Oblivion in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'''s Story Mode. Equipping the Zero Gear with 3 ability units in Story Mode will result in the Kingdom Key+ with all of Oathkeeper/Oblivion's abilities. |
| <center>
| | *When Dual-Wielding Oathkeeper and Oblivion in Mission Mode, Roxas is very weak compared to his strength during the last mission in the game's Story Mode, before the battle with Riku, where he can destroy [[Neoshadow]]s rather easily. However, it should be noted that the enemies in Mission Mode have buffered stats for more players. |
| File:Oathkeeper & Oblivion KHII.png|Oathkeeper and Oblivion in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.
| | *Roxas's ground combo with the Oathkeeper and Oblivion in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' is exactly the same one from his battle with [[Sora]], his original self, in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''. |
| </center>
| | *Roxas and Xemnas are the only two member of the organization whose weapons do not have the nobody logo. |
| </gallery>
| | *Roxas is also the only Organization member who uses 2 different versions of his weapon at the same time. |
| | *In [[Kingdom Hearts II]], if you compare Dual Wield Roxas with Valor Form Sora, they will have the same strength and abilities. |
