'''Double Form''' is a [[Formchange]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', triggered by the [[Oathkeeper]] and [[Oblivion]] Keyblades. It transforms [[Sora]]'s clothes into a fusion of [[Light Form]] and [[Dark Form]], and allows him to dual-wield Oathkeeper and Oblivion and harness the powers of both [[light]] and [[darkness]].

Double Form resembles a fusion of [[Light Form]] and [[Dark Form]], with Light Form on Sora's right side and Dark Form on his left. He wields Oathkeeper with his right hand and Oblivion with his left; however, in situations in which he has to use one hand, he will wield the Keyblade that triggered the Formchange in his right hand.
Double Form allows Sora to wield Oathkeeper in his right hand and Oblivion in his left, though he will wield the Keyblade that triggered the Formchange in his right hand whenever he has to use just one. His clothes transform into a fusion of [[Light Form]] and [[Dark Form]], with Light Form on his right side and Dark Form on his left. The coat largely resembles Light Form, with the left sleeve being black. The sleeves have three heart symbols in a vertical row, being black on the left sleeve and silver on the right sleeve. The hood also has a heart symbol; the left half is black, while the right half is in silver. The pants have grey back pockets; the left side is black with the kanji for "darkness" (闇) on the front in white, while the right side is grey and has the kanji for "light" (光) on the front in white. The shoes are a fusion of Light Form and Dark Form's, with white collars, black toe boxes and heels outlined in white, and grey vamps and quarters. Double Form alters Sora's appearance in other worlds:

Double Form is an ideal late-game Formchange. Though it doesn't quite match up to the immense damage output of [[Ultimate Form]], Double Form is a viable alternative due to allowing Sora to stay in Form for longer, with Double Form acting as a secondary Formchange after the duration of Light or Dark Form. Combined with high single target damage output, high mobility, and solid defensive options, Double Form is optimal to use for many tough boss fights.

Double Form's Dual Smasher reprisal is much stronger compared to the other reprisals in Sora's arsenals. It deals double the damage of a usual reprisal while combining the best aspects of the other abilities. [[Dual Guard]] functions just like a barrier defending Sora at every angle and has the swiftness of [[Counter Slash]], the gap closing capability of [[Counter Kick]], and area of effect of [[Counter Impact]] and [[Counter Blast]]. This makes destroying enemy armor much easier with the only caveat being armor that can be easily disabled with a spell. The one major downside of Dual Smasher is that it's moment of invulnerability is shorter than the other reprisals so timing chained counters requires a little more stricter timing.   


Some caution should be used when in Double Form, as the final combo finisher [[Mirage Thrust]]'s long animation can cause Sora to become vulnerable in the event of an enemy counterattack. It's advised to keep this in mind for enemies that will counter at the end of a combo.
