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 summon his two Keyblades, the Oathkeeper & Oblivion, and Sora while in Valor Form, Master Form, and Final Form.

Story

Roxas can use two Keyblades at once because he has both Sora's Keyblade and Ventus's Keyblade, due to Ventus's heart remaining within him.[1] Originally, he just wields Sora's Keyblade, as Xion's creation had siphoned away Ventus's Keyblade. However, when she is defeated, his powers return to him, and he reawakens the ability to use Ventus's Keyblade.[citation needed] 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[2], it is theoretically possible for Sora to use Synch Blade naturally, without going into a Drive Form.[citation needed]

Mechanics

In Kingdom Hearts II, Synch Blade is a support ability. It grants the user access to the abilities of both of their weapons.
