The {{nihongo|'''Oathkeeper'''|約束のお守り|Yakusoku no Omamori|lit. "Oath's Charm"}} is the [[Keyblade]] that represents [[Sora]]'s friendship and memories of [[Kairi]].  Gained by speaking to [[Kairi]] in the Secret Waterway in [[Traverse Town]], after her rescue in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', it takes on special significance as the keychain that forms it is Kairi's [[Lucky Charm]], which she makes Sora promise to bring back to her. As a result, Oathkeeper is one of the few alternate forms of the Keyblade with an impact on the ''Kingdom Hearts'' storyline.

It serves as the counterpart to [[Oblivion]], the Keyblade that represents [[Riku]]; it can also be seen as a Keyblade of [[Light]], to balance out Oblivion's [[Darkness]].
The Oathkeeper is formed when Sora uses Kairi's [[Lucky Charm]] as a Keychain. Kairi originally gives him the charm at the [[Traverse Town#Secret Waterwary|Secret Waterway]] in ''Kingdom Hearts''. After rescuing her from Hollow Bastion, Sora leaves her with his friends at Traverse Town so that he can go back to close the [[Door to Darkness]], and Kairi gives him the charm for luck. When Sora enters [[Castle Oblivion]] in ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', Naminé is forced to rewrite Sora's memory so that Kairi's Lucky Charm appears to be a trinket from herself, but after Sora defeats the [[Darkside]] at [[Destiny Islands]] and speaks with her, she reveals the truth, and the illusion is dispelled. Although Sora continued to possess the Lucky Charm throughout ''Kingdom Hearts II'', he is not able to use the Oathkeeper until he returns to [[Twilight Town]] and learns where Kairi had been taken.


Oathkeeper is also one of two Keyblades [[Roxas]] wields when he is at his most powerful.  He bears it [[Oathkeeper/Oblivion|alongside Oblivion]]; together, they represent his ties to Sora through Riku and Kairi.
==Design==
 
The Oathkeeper's keychain token is Kairi's Lucky Charm, a star sown together from [[Thalassa]] shells. Its shaft displays two hearts, and its handle bears two angel wings, contrasting the bat wings that comprise Oblivion's handle. The teeth are fashioned in the shape of the Kanji for "light" (光), corresponding to the Oblivion's kanji for "darkness".
==Appearance==
The [[Keychain]] motif is of Kairi's Lucky Charm; a [[Paopu]] fruit-like star made of thalassa-shells. Its shaft displays two hearts, and its handle bears two angel wings, contrasting the bat wings that comprise Oblivion's handle. The teeth are fashioned in the shape of the Kanji for "light" (光), corresponding to the Oblivion's Kanji for "darkness".
 
==In Combat==
It has a decent reach and is well-balanced in ''Kingdom Hearts''; Oathkeeper is a good substitute for the [[Lionheart]], in case the player hasn't been able, or didn't want, to defeat [[Cloud]] and [[Leon]] in the [[Hades Cup]].  In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', its ability of Form Boost makes it much more useful for leveling Sora's [[Drive Form]]s, rather than for regular battle.

The Oathkeeper (約束のお守り Yakusoku no Omamori?, lit. "Oath's Charm") is a Keychain for Sora's Keyblade which appears in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II, and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It also appears as half of Roxas's dual set of Keyblades alongside the Oblivion, and was transformed from his original Kingdom Key Roxas after he absorbed Xion. Fundamentally, the Oathkeeper is symbolic of Sora's memories of Kairi.[1]

The Oathkeeper is formed when Sora uses Kairi's Lucky Charm as a Keychain. Kairi originally gives him the charm at the Secret Waterway in Kingdom Hearts. After rescuing her from Hollow Bastion, Sora leaves her with his friends at Traverse Town so that he can go back to close the Door to Darkness, and Kairi gives him the charm for luck. When Sora enters Castle Oblivion in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Naminé is forced to rewrite Sora's memory so that Kairi's Lucky Charm appears to be a trinket from herself, but after Sora defeats the Darkside at Destiny Islands and speaks with her, she reveals the truth, and the illusion is dispelled. Although Sora continued to possess the Lucky Charm throughout Kingdom Hearts II, he is not able to use the Oathkeeper until he returns to Twilight Town and learns where Kairi had been taken.

The Oathkeeper's keychain token is Kairi's Lucky Charm, a star sown together from Thalassa shells.

In Kingdom Hearts II, its ability of Form Boost makes it much more useful for leveling Sora's Drive Forms, rather than for regular battle.
