The '''No Name''', also known as {{nihongo|'''Master Xehanort's Keyblade'''|マスター・ゼアノートのキーブレード<!--cite ultimania-->|Masutā Zeanōto no Kīburēdo}} and {{nihongo|'''The Gazing Eye'''|見つめる目|Mitsumeru Me}}, is the default form of [[Luxu]]'s [[Keyblade]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts χ]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''. It was handed down over time, becoming the most ancient surviving Keyblade, and eventually came into the possession of [[Odin]] and his apprentice, [[Xehanort]], who continued to wield it when he became [[Terra-Xehanort]]. A digital simulation of the Keyblade is wielded by [[No Heart]], the [[Mirage Arena]] simulation of Xehanort. It is also utilized by the [[Replica Xehanort|replica incarnation]] of Terra-Xehanort.


Although Master Xehanort does not often draw his Keyblade, whenever he does fight he wields his Keyblade in this form, even after becoming Terra-Xehanort. Xehanort often uses this Keyblade to channel his own dark magic, but as a Keyblade, the weapon itself also possesses the ability to lock and unlock hearts. Master Xehanort once used this ability to extract the dark half of [[Ventus]]'s heart from his body, creating [[Vanitas]], and then again during the final battle at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], in order to extract his own heart and allow him to take over Terra's body and become Terra-Xehanort. However, during his battle with Aqua, Terra's heart begins throwing off Master Xehanort's control, forcing him to use his Keyblade on their shared body to seal away their hearts, also causing them to lose the Keyblade.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Final Episode''': "In a desparate move to rid himself of Terra once and for all, Xehanort turned his own Keyblade on himself, and began to sink into the pool of darkness that spilled forth."</ref> After this, Master Xehanort's Keyblade vanishes, though Terra-Xehanort regains it later, when he uses it to extract [[Braig]]'s heart from his body and transforms him into [[Xigbar]]. Following his revival, Master Xehanort continues to wield this Keyblade, attempting to use it to place a fragment of his heart inside [[Sora]]'s comatose body.

Master Xehanort's Keyblade has a spiky, black guard resembling demonic wings, a horned, demonic head just above the handle, two barbed shafts, and teeth resembling a battle axe split into three almost claw-like protrusions. It resembles the [[Oblivion]] Keyblade to a degree, but with two shafts and a different head. It also contains two demonic, blue eyes; one above the handle and the other one on the head, similar to that of the [[Soul Eater]], [[Way to the Dawn]], and [[Void Gear]]. Its shaft and head are adorned with several twisting, silver patterns. Master Xehanort is capable of converting his Keyblade into an orb of dark energy, which is shot into the sky to summon [[Kingdom Hearts]]. No Heart has displayed the ability to detach the head of the Keyblade to form an impenetrable barrier, as well as tranform the Keyblade into a claw-like weapon, a [[wikipedia:greave|greave]], or a pair of wings that allow flight. His Keyblade possesses a [[Keychain]], which has a black charm with another demonic blue eye upon it.

"Every Keyblade master is bequeathed a Keyblade of his very own. With the passing of time, as you can imagine, more and more Keyblades were forged to be handed down. But of all the Keyblades in existence, Master Xehanort's is the most ancient."
—Young Xehanort on his future self's Keyblade.

The No Name, also known as Master Xehanort's Keyblade (マスター・ゼアノートのキーブレード Masutā Zeanōto no Kīburēdo?) and The Gazing Eye (見つめる目 Mitsumeru Me?), is the default form of Luxu's Keyblade that appears in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Kingdom Hearts χ, and Kingdom Hearts III. It was handed down over time, becoming the most ancient surviving Keyblade, and eventually came into the possession of Odin and his apprentice, Xehanort, who continued to wield it when he became Terra-Xehanort. A digital simulation of the Keyblade is wielded by No Heart, the Mirage Arena simulation of Xehanort. It is also utilized by the replica incarnation of Terra-Xehanort.
