{{nihongo|'''Synch Blade'''|シンクロブレード|Shinkuro Burēdo|lit. "Synchro Blade"}} is an ability that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It allows the user to summon a second [[Keyblade]] during battle. So far, the only characters to use this are [[Roxas]], who can use this ability to summon his two Keyblades, the [[Oathkeeper & Oblivion]], and [[Sora]] while in [[Valor Form]], [[Master Form]], and [[Final Form]].

==Story==
Roxas can use two Keyblades at once because he has both Sora's Keyblade and Ventus's Keyblade, due to Ventus's heart remaining within him.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania|Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]''''' "Sora can wield two Keyblades at once because he has Ventus's as well as his own."</ref> Originally, he just wields Sora's Keyblade, as [[Xion]]'s creation had siphoned away Ventus's Keyblade. However, when she is defeated, his powers return to him, and he reawakens the ability to use Ventus's Keyblade.{{fact}}<!--post-Days interviews and BBS ultimania--> After Sora and Roxas reunite, Sora is able to use Synch Blade within several of his Drive Forms, but since Sora possesses every ability that Roxas had, it is also 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-->

==Learning Synch Blade==
===''Kingdom Hearts II'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix''===
*[[Roxas]] learns Synch Blade immediately before fighting [[Axel]] in the [[Simulated Twilight Town#Mansion: Basement Hall|Basement Hall]]. The ability cannot be used after the fight ends.{{fact}}<!--Dual-Wielding Roxas is, for gameplay purposes, a different character-->
*[[Valor Form]] has Synch Blade as a default ability.
*[[Master Form]] has Synch Blade as a default ability.
*[[Final Form]] has Synch Blade as a default ability.

==Other appearances==
===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
While Synch Blade is not an ability outright, Roxas can wield [[Oathkeeper & Oblivion|two Keyblades]] in Story Mode on [[Mission 93: Believe|Day 358]], and in [[Mission Mode]] by equipping [[Zero Gear]] with three Ability Units.
