Oathkeeper & Oblivion: Difference between revisions

'''[[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!?"

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."
