do u think kairi is a wielder

[Oathkeeper1357]

cant only weilders use keyblades? (even though she was suckish, and slow,and weak, and looked awkward... i forgot mi point)

We've been given plenty of reasons to believe that Kairi isn't a wielder when you delve into it deeply enough.

Any one can hold and use a keyblade, but only a master can summon the weapon at will.

 

[Key of Valor]

The qualifications for being a keyblader is to summon one at will.
However, we don't if Kairi can do this or not. In the past though,
from what we've seen only a keyblader can actually use a Keyblade
in combat and since Kairi did fight with the Keyblade, there is more
evidence supporting that she is a keyblader (even if it might not be true)

It is when Nomura says what Riku handed Kairi was the WtD :I

Out of curiosity, when did Nomura say that? The most he has ever
described Riku's Keyblade was in Another Report, and I know he
didn't say that in Another Report, so when did he say that?

If Nomura said that, it must be true, but until I see it for myself,
I'll have to disagree with Riku handing Kairi Way to Dawn,
(especially since Riku fights with Way to Dawn while Kairi
has flowerpower. And I don't think Way to Dawn split into
two Way of Dawns either)

Wow, you dont know how wrong that statement was. Not everyone can use a keyblade (ex. Leon & Jack Sparrow) >.>

Read my first post...
Nomura says Riku hands Kairi the Soul Eater/WtD...

 

[gamenern]

i think that any PoH (Princess, not pure) can use the Keyblade. it may just be like a title, only hearts of light can use the keyblade. though this conflicts with riku, but since he accepted both light AND darkness, he may have that title. and since we have no definition of Keyblade Master, we can't say anything about kairi not being a weilder.

I read the post. I actually read through Another Report a few
days ago so I remember noticing that statement. However, it
wasn't so specific. It didn't really say that Riku handed Way to
Dawn to Kairi, it only said 'it', and since the previous sentences
were talking about Kairi's Keyblade, it might have just been
one of those vague comments where the listener/reader is
meant to make the connection. I've taken a few years of foriegn
languages in the past and I have noticed similar translations
where certain things that would sound wierd and vague to
english speakers but in the original language would be clear.

Reread it...

However there is no particular explanation for the Soul Eater's transfer and occurrence, as well as Riku's handing it to Kairi.

"it" refers to the Soul Eater...
Riku hands "it" to Kairi...

 

[#1 Xemnas]

nomura said there are only 3 wielders: riku, sora, and mickey presently.

 

[Ren]

"it" refers to the Soul Eater...
Riku hands "it" to Kairi...

Are you sure Nomura didn't mean the keyblade as a generalization?
The question itself was:

Could you please give an explanation for the new Keyblade “Way to the Dawn” that Riku obtained and the Keyblade Kairi has, as well as what the conditions for using a Keyblade are?

So he may have just been addressing the parts of the question as they were presented to him. Or there was a bad translation error. Or something.
Because WtD=/=Gayblade, after all. And Riku couldn't be using the WtD if Kairi was.

Karate: when and how?

DI.

KK going to Riku, but Sora got it. Thus Sora interfering with Riku's ability.

HB.

Riku taking KK back from Sora. Thus Riku interfering with Sora's ability.

Only Riku summoned it, which kills this.

He did. In Another Report. Said Riku handed 'it' to Kairi. It being the Soul Eater being the WtD.

Wow, you dont know how wrong that statement was. Not everyone can use a keyblade (ex. Leon & Jack Sparrow) >.>

I'm actually doubtful about Jack. Sora didn't really want him to hold onto the Keyblade, we don't know if he really couldn't :\

Which is why I asked bittermeats for a retranslation. My sources say however the meaning remains similar to identical as what we've been able to fathom thus far.

Because WtD=/=Gayblade, after all. And Riku couldn't be using the WtD if Kairi was.

Which is where Duel Wielding with another Keychain comes in.

The thing I like most is this -

Keyblades aren’t something that you can obtain suddenly out of nowhere, so in Riku’s case, his Soul Eater was used as an intermediary for that Keyblade.

So, uh, I think it's safe to say for now that the Gayblade really didn't pop out of anywhere on a clear blue day :I but it has to have been based on an existing Keyblade.

That quote is dealing with WtD and not Gayblade, which needs a name. I'm all for Floral Silencer.

It deals with Keyblades in general, and then explains in a more detailed fashion about the WtD. It means just as much that the Gayblade didn't just pop out of nowhere for Kairi to use.

We found out that Riku's Keyblade's name is "Way to the Dawn" when examining his item slots after he joined your party. Is that Keyblade a transfigured version of Soul Eater?

I designed it with that image. Since Riku has always been using Soul Eater, he still calls it that even after it changed form. Keyblades aren't something that you can obtain suddenly out of nowhere so in Riku's case, his Soul Eater was used as an intermediary for that Keyblade.

The afformentioned quote in particular was dealing directly to WtD and Soul Eater. Keyblades in general is a minor point. True, they cannot be obtained from nowhere. This quote proves it.

The Gayblade has nothing to do with that quote as its specific topic is WtD.

 

[Smile]

*rolls eyes* it has everything to do with it seeing how it's further basis to it being Duel Wielded.

 

[Genocide]

Gayblade is a subpoint to a topic that deals with something else. Not even a subpoint, more of a footnote.

Keyblades can not be borrowed

Riku, Sora, Kairi, Jack, Leon.
