How many keyblades are there???

[Sora Leros]

only kingdom key is supposed to exist but in KH1 we see the keyblade of king mickey and the dark keyblade that riku obtains after meeting xehanort's heartsless in hollow bastion
How can this be possible???

Retcons? Seriously though, the reason for this is because the keyblade is bit more common than one in existence. Additionally, it is theorized that Mickey's keyblade is the dark realm's version of the KK and he needed it so that he could help Sora lock Kingdom Hearts. If you actually read the info on the machine thing sometime before Chernobog (the big demon-like guy), it actually says something about how Kingdom hearts and two keys. (I can't recall the exact line.) As for Riku's keyblade, it was created from the hearts of the princesses of heart and I'm not exactly sure if it's an actual keyblade or not.

It's creation might have to do with MX (Master Xehanort) being a keyblade wielder, since he's a part of the current Xehanort we know and loathe.

Additionally, I think it was latter mentioned in KH2 (Nomura retconed?) that there is or should be as many keyblades as qualified hearts, like Riku's.

Meybe the KK and the reverse KK are the two fragments of the X-Blades, making them not just any mere keyblades but the keyblades.

This question has been asked for a long time, but I think I am the only one thus far that knows the real answer.

there is no number of keyblades becuase keyblades are created from an indivisuals memory

The confirmed answer by Nomura is that there are as many Keyblades as there are qualified hearts.
