:: Actually the point is in the interview was that both Riku and Kairi obtained their keyblades in nonstandard ways and its fair to think there is a special meaning to it. The interview even always refers to it as her's not Riku's. Anyway Riku's held it but as for wielding it to battle he has yet to do so I'm not sure its appropriate to list it but if we do it should be labled as Kairi's much like Kingdom Key is labled Sora's and Oblivion is Roxas's. --Lycropath 4:46, 8 May 2012 (UTC) | :: Actually the point is in the interview was that both Riku and Kairi obtained their keyblades in nonstandard ways and its fair to think there is a special meaning to it.

:Honestly, and don't take this harshly, I trust fan-translations as far as I can throw their writers, do to the constant speculation that goes into them. For stuff like this, where a twist of a prounoun can change nearly the entire meaning, it is especially important that we are provided the original Japanese text, rather than just told "hey guys, I translated this". For all we know, he could be talking about "Kairi's Keyblade" in the context of the blade's name, like how he talks about "Terra-Xehanort's Master Xehanort's Keyblade"; and then there's the fact that the original interview translation indicates a carried subject for the "handing it to Kairi", while the new one inserts "Keyblade" there. | |||
:Finally, Riku is the one shown actually summoning it, and the Keyblade pops up again with Aqua NOT being wielded by Kairi, but merely being created by her presence; that and the fact that Riku easily wielded Oblivion despite it belonging to Roxas give strong precedent for it not truly being "the Keyblade belonging to Kairi". That being the case, I've reverted the following two edits, though we can reinstate them if the translation proves to be accurate. | |||

:All in all, I would feel WAY more comfortable if we were provided the actual text of the interview answer before we go changing everything. You're probably totally, 100% right, but we really need to confirm these things before making changes. | |||
:Neumannz, in case this person doesn't have the text, can you ask Shard for it? I can go a crack at it as soon as I get it, and lay out the translation notes here for you guys' review.[[Special:Contributions/192.249.47.177|192.249.47.177]] 13:49, 8 May 2012 (UTC) | |||
