- "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.
The No Name, also known as Master Xehanort's Keyblade (マスター・ゼアノートのキーブレード Masutā Zeanōto no Kīburēdo) and The Gazing Eye (見つめる目 Mitsumeru Me), is the default form of Luxu's Keyblade that appears in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Kingdom Hearts χ, and Kingdom Hearts III. It was handed down over time, becoming the most ancient surviving Keyblade, and eventually came into the possession of Odin and his apprentice, 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. It is also utilized by the replica incarnation of Terra-Xehanort.
Story
Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover
The Keyblade was given to Luxu by the Master of Masters when he received his assignment. The Master had placed his own Gazing Eye within the blade, granting him the knowledge of anything the eye would observe throughout the ages. Luxu initially misunderstood the Master's explanation as the Keyblade being named the "Gazing Eye", but when the Master clarified that the Keyblade had "no name", Luxu playfully named it accordingly. In order to spread its purview and write the Book of Prophecies, he assigned Luxu and the Keyblade the role of leaving town with a mysterious Black Box, becoming a neutral observer to the events that would soon rock Daybreak Town, and passing down the Keyblade to his own apprentices so that it would survive through the ages.[1]

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.[2] 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 in an attempt to rid himself of Terra's heart. [3]
