- "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.
Master Xehanort's Keyblade is the default form of Luxu's Keyblade that appears in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, and Kingdom Hearts χ. It was handed down over time, becoming the most ancient surviving Keyblade, and eventually came into the possession of 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.
Story
Kingdom Hearts χ
The Keyblade originally belonged to Luxu, the sixth apprentice of the Master of Masters. When Foreteller Ava tracks him down and accuses him of being the traitor sowing discord between the Unions, he brandishes the Keyblade at her.
Between Kingdom Hearts χ and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
Luxu's Keyblade was handed down until it came into the possession of Xehanort. Destiny
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
Master Xehanort does not often draw his Keyblade, but when he needs to engage in battle or use the Keyblade's powers, he uses this Keychain to do so.
When Terra, Ventus, and Aqua confront him at the Keyblade Graveyard, Master Xehanort transforms his Keyblade into an orb of light and uses it to reveal Kingdom Hearts floating above.[1] Afterward, he uses his blade to battle Terra and trick the youth into embracing darkness, allowing him to extract his own heart and possess Terra's body. This gestalt being, Terra-Xehanort, retains usage of this Keyblade and wields it against the Lingering Will at the Keyblade Graveyard and Aqua at Radiant Garden. When Terra's heart begins throwing off Xehanort's control, Terra-Xehanort is forced to use this Keyblade on his body to seal away both hearts, losing the ability to wield the Keyblade in the process.[2]
Between Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts
During the descent of Radiant Garden into darkness, Terra-Xehanort regains this Keyblade and uses it to transform Ansem the Wise's apprentices into the founding members of Organization XIII. Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
