| ==Story==
| | Roxas gained the ability to use Synch Blade after defeating [[Xion]], giving him the ability to wield both Keyblades. They are both technically Sora's keyblades, and Roxas possesses all of his abilities, so the Keyblades are his to use as well. |
| ===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
| |
| Roxas can use two Keyblades at once because he has both Sora and [[Ventus]]'s Keyblades, due to Ventus's heart remaining within him when Sora became a Heartless.<ref>[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania|'''''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' Ultimania''']], '''Interviewer:''' "Is it possible that Roxas has a heart?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "It is thought that it could be Ventus’ heart... As was said in Q1, he has taken a lot of himself from Ventus. But perhaps when Sora and Roxas were separated, Ventus’ heart stayed in Roxas?" [https://www.khinsider.com/news/BBS-Ultimania-20-Mysteries-Solved-2546 Translation via Lissar].</ref> Originally, he can only wield Sora's Keyblade, but when [[Xion]] is defeated, he reawakens the ability to use Ventus's Keyblade.<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." [https://www.khinsider.com/news/BBS-Ultimania-20-Mysteries-Solved-2546 Translation via Lissar].</ref> After Sora and Roxas reunite, Sora is able to use Synch Blade within Valor, Master, and Final Form, but since Sora possesses every ability that Roxas had,<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''''': "All of Roxas's abilities and munny have been passed on to Sora."</ref>{{?}}<!--use cite to original journal--> it is theoretically possible for Sora to use Synch Blade naturally, without going into a Drive Form.{{fact}}<!--This is based on a KH2 interview quote from Nomura--> | |
