Re: riku's keyblade

I'm sorry to say you are mostly wrong.

Mickey- keyblade of Darkness
As you said, Mickey found his key in the realm of darkness. That much is true however.....

Sora- keyblade of Light
Sora's keyblade, the kingdom key, is a keyblade of light. This keyblade, in kh1 was supposed to go to Riku, but he had no light left as he opened his heart to darkness. So, it went to Sora.

Riku- keyblade of twilight
Riku has had the darkness since kh1 all the way to kh2. However, when he discovered hope, which is his light, he became the keywilder of twilight. His keyblade is the Road to Dawn. Dawn refers to the time between Evening and morning, between light and darkness. (his keyblade is made up of angel wings and devilwings work it out.)

Re: riku's keyblade

noriku's keyblade is the keyblade of dawn

 

[Angel's Prayer]

Re: riku's keyblade

That's just specifics, but in general his keyblade is twilight.

 

[Oblivion wielder]

Re: riku's keyblade

It was confirmed by Nomura that Riku's keyblade represents twilight

 

[Kairi's Heart]

Re: riku's keyblade

Mickey got his keyblade while in the real of darkness with Riku on the other side of Kindom Hearts (in kh1) Mickey goes up to Riku and says "I found the keyblade of this realm" or something like that (it's in japanese, Final Mix)

Sora is the keyblade of light which is why Riku lost it when he accepted darkness. Riku's is twilight because that is what he had to choose which path at the end of his story in COM "No, the road to Dawn."

Re: riku's keyblade

Yeah. Sora=Light Mickey=Darkness Riku=Twilight
And to clear up further confusion, the Keyblade that Riku bore in KH1, you know, the one Sora stabbed himself with wasn't Riku's keyblade. It was a weapon made up of the heart's of the Seven Princesses of Hearts. (Yeah, most people knew this, but there are the ocassional people.)

Re: riku's keyblade

actually, I think that:
mickey=darkness
riku=twilight
sora=present world
kairi?=light
and i think its weird that the twilight (riku) uses Xehanort's form for darkness
Darkness (mickey) uses healing light
sora (present) is worried about the past and future, not the present

no sora is light, nomoura said this himself a million times.

 

[Veritas]

Sora's is light. It's repeated a lot that he is the one who will open the door to the light. This just causes me to assume his is the keyblade of light. Mickey flat out says in the realm of darkness, "I've found the keyblade for this realm." Riku chose the middle path. This is what we have come to call the path of twilight. Soul Eater isn't the keyblade. Nomura states it was just an intermediary to Way to the Dawn. We don't know who wields the keyblade of present, yet. Hopefully, the next game will reveal who will have it. So yeah. Basically what everyone else has said lol.

just because someone opens the door to the light doesn't mean he or she possesses the key to do so. (pats self on back for being as cryptic as possible)

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.

If we directly translate "Way to the Dawn", "dawn" means "in-between night and daytime", so does that mean that Keyblade is from the In-between World? In other words, this means the Keyblades that Sora, King Mickey and Riku wield represent the Worlds of Light, Dark and In-between?
Well, if I have to say where they belong, it's just as you said. But the name of "Way to Dawn" doesn't have to mean that. This name came from the scene at the end of Riku's story in KH:COM that suggested which path he would walk on, where he said "The road to dawn."

Soras keyblade has been confirmed to be light by the creator of kh, Nomoura .

MY BAD! sorry for being wrong im inferior, *jumps off cliff*

 

[violent_anger]

......how could someone possibly think a keyblade called way to dawn could be of darkness?

 

[Aucune Raison]

Okay then.

Light Keyblade- Sora
Naturally, Sora is good, and uses his Keyblade for good and protects the different worlds. And he could get to the Door to Light. It was originally for Riku, but once he accepted the darkness, he was no longer the master.
*Confirmed by Nomura*

Twilight/ Inbetween Keyblade- Riku
Riku was the original keyblade wielder, but used darkness. He ended up turning good and using his dark powers for good, so his original weapon, the Soul Eater (which Ansem fought with in the final boss battle; it was a duel blade, with one side having white, and another having black. The name "Soul Eater" can also be a referance to the "Soulless" theory people have been talking about), turned into The Way to Dawn keyblade, which was like the weapon, but had a bigger handle and had demon and angellic wings on it.
*Confirmed by Nomura*

Dark Keyblade- Mickey
Although Mickey is not evil, he obtained his Keyblade from the realm of darkness while trying to seal the Door to Darkness. This doesn't mean Mickey will become evil, it simply means that he obtained it from the darkness.
*Confirmed by Nomura*

Present Keyblade- Kairi
Now, this is simply a theory, but by process of elimination, and certain other reasons, we can assume that the Keyblade Kairi wielded in The World That Never Was, was of the present. It was very decorated (a offshoot of Oathkeeper if I'm not mistaken) and seemed to be more realistic in that sense. Although the Keyblade was given to her by Riku (in Xehanort form), it was probably meant for her.
*Not confirmed*

Does that cover some questions?
