How did Roxas get the Kingdom Key of the Realm of Darkness?

Posted

When fighting the Neo Shadows at Memory's Skycraper, after Roxas throws the Oblivion towards Riku, he's suddenly holding the Kingdom Key of the Realm of Darkness in his right hand. How is that possible? Does he have three keyblades? And how did he even get the Kingdom Key D, isn't it supposed to belong to Mickey?

This was just a mistake i think

I read about this on wikipedia before.. Not exactly sure why they decided to give Roxas the Kingdom Key D and Mickey the Kingdom Key.. This was in deep dive though, very early on in the series. I think it is canonical.. the mistakes were corrected in the proper scene in 358 days.

Well that happens in deep dive and from what I've reviewed not in the actual days so it was probably just something in the concept trailer back then that doesn't really fit in plotwise now.

It should be noted this only took place in Another Side Another Story which was a beta trailer for KH2. Nomura was still tossing around ideas about how he actually wanted the game to go down Roxas never actually held Kingdom Key D in the canon storyline.

 

 

From the Kh wiki:

 

"Because Deep Dive is more of a conceptual trailer than a canonical one, both Roxas and Mickey are shown with uncharacteristic Keyblades (Roxas shown wielding the Kingdom Key D, and Mickey shown wielding the Kingdom Key.) This was corrected in 358/2 Days; Mickey did not make an appearance at Memory's Skyscraper and Roxas did not summon an additional Keyblade after Riku took Oblivion."

Ahhh I see. Well that makes sense, I guess.

Doesn't a key blade take the form that the key chain wants? For instance, all the keys you have with Sora are really just one key with a different skin. Is this an idea that he has kept? If it is, then whatever the key it is that someone has is just symbolism. Also that could mean the base keyblade of  light is the kingdom key. It would be why Riku's first key  was the kingdom key when he did that spoiler. Dose this make since or am I rambling?

Well personally I think the Kingdom Key itself is the basic keychain of the Keyblade, and most Keyblade wielders start out with that. The Kingdom Key D seems to be an exception, one of a kind Keyblade. Which explains why only Mickey can have it.

Deep Dive has been described as a concept.  

It was only after when people said how amazingly epic it was that it was reworked into the story

So since it was a concept first it didn't have to be logical, just pretty.

It should be noted this only took place in Another Side Another Story which was a beta trailer for KH2. Nomura was still tossing around ideas about how he actually wanted the game to go down Roxas never actually held Kingdom Key D in the canon storyline.

 

 

 

I saw Another Side, Another Story and compared it to 358/2 Days and I agree with you. In 358/2 Days, Roxas only has one keyblade in his hand, not two. They're both very cool cutscenes.
