VanitasTheBest 196 Posted January 20, 2013 It confused me too many times ... But I don't think this has been in an Interview or something o: ...

teh lazy prince Xylek 1,559 Posted January 20, 2013 because it can? or because ven, vanitas and sora are kinda connected? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbie the Wise 5,050 Posted January 20, 2013 It is lack of creativity on Nomura's part, there is no real reason for the Kingdom Key's design being in there. 2 OkashiraKenrex and Neku Sakuraba reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingdomHearts3 2,591 Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Why does the x-blade look like sora's kingdom key, it has two kingdom keys in it ? Can someone explain I'm confused ??? I'm not sure. Nomura might reveal why in time. Now as I think about it, one who holds it, holds the balance of light and darkness in their hands. One Kingdom Key could be for darkness and one for light (even though the X-blade we have seen is a mere shadow of the X-blade composed of seven lights and thirteen darknesses).

Sorual 607 Posted January 20, 2013 ive actually given some thought into this and i'm not sure if its true but heres what i came up with. there are 2 kingdom keys (mickeys and soras) in order to lock/unlock the door the darkness or light, you have to have both keyblades. one on one side of the door and one on the other. the kingdom key has a twin keyblade. the only other one i can think of that has a twin is oathkeeper and oblivion. square probably chose the kingdom key becouse its the first keyblade they came up with (the original). but one thing i dont get is that the x-blade has two of soras keyblades. it should have one of soras and one of mickeys. in case you havent noticed, there keyblades are the same but the collors are switched.

AntonioKHT 449 Posted January 20, 2013 I don't think there's any conncetion. When they were designing it, they just thought: "Well, wouldn't it be kinda cool if the x-Blade has two Kingdom Keys across, and some cool blade between them?" It's cool, and probably has no reason to be the way it is. At MOST it describes it should be forged when two strong hearts of different nature's interact (that is in BbS, maybe the X-Blade gains new shape in KH3) JUST CRAZY THEORIES Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnHeiressofaSOLDIER 358 Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Well, Sora is one of the Seven Lights that broke off of the true/original X-Blade... Mickey, too, of course. Edited January 20, 2013 by DenizenofTwilight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJ369 183 Posted January 20, 2013 It's probably because of Sora restoring Ven's heart. Think about it; When Xehanort extracted Vanitas from Ven, he looked exactly, and Sounded like Sora(only more badass). And Sora's default keyblade is the kingdom key, so when Ven and Vanitas joined together, they created the X-blade, which are two halfs of Sora's power(his keyblade).

Robbie the Wise 5,050 Posted January 20, 2013 At the end of the day X-blade does not share resemblence with Sora's keyblade it's the other way around. The thing is a Sora's destiny is tied to the keyblade that much is clear. However if Kingdom Hearts chose Sora as a defender of the worlds it makes sense that his heart would chose the Kingdom Key as the form for his keyblade.

Ultima Spark 753 Posted January 20, 2013 DISCLAIMER: I'm an atheist, and so don't actually believe in God or whatever other deity; I treat the Bible as myth & legend, like I would any other religious story or theme. Mythology interests me; proselytising does not. *** From KHWiki's topnote: Etymology: "Keys to the Kingdom" Google search brings me this: http://www.khplanet.com/forums/general-kingdom-hearts/11964-kingdom-hearts-religious-symbolism.html - Sora is spoken to by a faceless voice multiple times, similar to historical prophets.- Sora "walks on water" in the Hollow Bastion stage in the first game, however so do all the ally characters.- Kingdom Hearts is a sacred realm with two gigantic white doors, or "pearly gates"- Kingdom Hearts can closed and opened by the Keyblades, the keys of heaven. The "Kingdom Key" and "Kingdom Key D" (AKA, keys to the kingdom), even have coloration similarities to common depictions of the "Keys to Heaven"- Sora represents Jesus, constantly taking on the pains of others to ease their suffering. He willingly sacrifices himself and is "reborn", and carries Riku back from the darkness. It is heavily implied that he is capable of being the "savior" to all who's destiny's were "altered" by Master Xehanort.-Master Xehanort and his various incarnations represent Lucifer. He has a corrupting role, both subtly and directly, to many characters in the series. He both "corrupts" and "claims" Riku and Terra, and is famous for the line "Open your Heart to Darkness!". His keyblade armor is largely bright and holds white feathered wings, however when he began using the powers of darkness he ceased using the armor.- The "X-Blade" has multiple pronunciations that are applicable, one being "Christ-Blade".- The finale of the game is set up for the defenders of light and seekers of darkness to come to a final clash for control over Kingdom Hearts, or "Heaven".- It is also firmly rooted in a taoist belief that something cannot exist without its opposite, specifically that Darkness and Light will always co-exist.And this Makes a surprising amount of sense, actually. And don't tell me to visit TV Tropes (always has to be on the first page of results...); while I think it's a fun site with an entertaining concept, the god-awful staff and userbase have really turned me off the place.

Ruran 481 Posted January 21, 2013 The Kingdom Key had an unusual creation as Sora accidentally tampered with it when he pulled it from Riku's heart. There's an oooooolllllldddd interview where Nomura mentioned that the KK was different because it was made through Sora and Riku's connection or something or other so I should try and dig that up. If the KK has some sort of connection with the X-Blade I'd say it's because it used a fraction of the recipe needed to create it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Kingdom Key has an unsual creation because Sora literally pulled it from Riku's heart. One Destiny Islands when Riku was sinking into darkness, both Sora and Riku's hearts touched, and the Riku's keyblade was passed to Sora. The Kingdom Key took it's base form in Sora's hands which means it's image reflects Sora. Considering the original recipe for the X-blade was 1 dark and 1 light I think it's merely symbolic the kingdom key took that shape. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree and would like to add that (while unconfimed) I believe the the KK's form being most like a skeleton key when compared to other Keyblades is reflective of Sora's role as "the key the connects everything". As for the X-blade, who knows if that's even its true form. Master Xehanort himself stated that it was a "rushed attempt" in other words a knock-off, a fake. The true X-blade may look nothing like the one in BbS. Personally I think the something like the Keyblade from the Mirage Split/Nightmare's End Reality Shifts would make a much more impressive X-blade than the one in BbS especially since it has 2 handles as opposed to 1 and therefore cannot be wielded by any one person alone. Thisvs. THIS Think about it. P.S. I tried to copy the video at the point where Riku is about to use Mirage Split but it didn't take.

Also the X-blade is only meant for one wielder. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Kuno 2,512 Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Personally, I believe that the X-blade isn't meant for any wilder, that it's supposed to be left alone. Which is why I think the 2nd one is the better choice. Edited January 21, 2013 by Sora_Kuno Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might sound crazy for saying this ,but, maybe Sora will end up wielding the x-blade? I mean, with so many keyblade wielders, there really needs to be a way to distinct Sora as the protagonist (other than the obvious fighting MX). 1 KINGDOMxHEARTSz reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbie the Wise 5,050 Posted January 21, 2013 Actually, I believe that the X-blade isn't meant for any wilder, that it's supposed to be left alone. Which is why I think the 2nd one is the better choice.You're right it wasn't made for any one person to own in it's natural state. However after the Keyblade War the nature of the X-Blade had completely changed especially after it was split into twenty pieces. By making it so that it could be forged under forced conditions it left the X-Blade in state in which it was forced to be controlled by man. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 5,571 Posted January 21, 2013 Kingdom key is the symbol of the series. You see it when you open treasure, etc. Not surprising the X-Blade's design is based on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
