So when exactly does Sora get his full power back? I ask because Roxas combines with him on 3 separate occasions, and if you analyze the amount of effort that Sora must put into some of his battles after each of these merges, the question is raised as to when he actually gets his full power back.
After Roxas combines with him in the beginning, Sora has issues fighting some dusks, but can dual wield, due to the presence of both his heart and Ventus' having been returned to him.
After Roxas combines with him after the battle in the Station of Awakening, Sora can unleash final form, which is stated in game to be his true power. After this, he is able to fairly easily defeat first form Xemnas, Saix, Luxord, all nobodies in WTNW, and Xigbar.
But then Roxas combines with him AGAIN right before the final battle. And it is this merger that I believe gives Sora his ultimate true power, as he is able to emerge from the fight with Twilight Xemnas (the most powerful being in the universe at the time) with zero injury.
Can anyone shed light on this? Another explanation I can think of is that each merger involves a different aspect of Roxas. The first merger is his body/memories. The second merger is his power, and the third merger is his heart (which he grew on his own during the time of 358/2 days). If this is true, then Sora should be able to triple wield in the final battle, assuming that Roxas' heart has earned the right to wield its own keyblade, which should be true since Roxas can dual wield at the end of 358/2 days (his own heart and Ventus', or was it Xion's and Ventus'?).
