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 wield his twin Keyblades Oathkeeper & Oblivion, and Sora while in Valor Form, Master Form, and Final Form as well as Double Form.
Story[edit]
Kingdom Hearts II[edit]
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.[1] Originally, he can only wield Sora's Keyblade, but when Xion is defeated, he reawakens the ability to use Ventus's Keyblade.[2] 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,[3] it is theoretically possible for Sora to use Synch Blade naturally, without going into a Drive Form.
Mechanics[edit]
In Kingdom Hearts II, Synch Blade is a support ability. It grants the user access to the abilities of both of their weapons.
Learning Synch Blade[edit]
Kingdom Hearts II[edit]
- Roxas has Synch Blade as an ability when fighting Axel in the Mansion: Basement Hall.
- 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[edit]
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days[edit]
While Synch Blade is not an ability outright, Roxas can dual-wield Oathkeeper & Oblivion in Story Mode on Day 358, and in Mission Mode by equipping Zero Gear with three Ability Units.
Kingdom Hearts III[edit]
While Synch Blade is not an ability outright, Double Form allows Sora to wield two Keyblades. Roxas also continues to wield Oathkeeper & Oblivion as a party member in the Keyblade Graveyard.
Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind[edit]
While Synch Blade is not an ability outright, Roxas wields Oathkeeper & Oblivion as both a party member and a playable character in the Keyblade Graveyard.
