As Tetsuya Nomura reveals new details about Kingdom Hearts 4, the article revisits the significance of the Keyblade in the franchise. While the Kingdom Key remains iconic, keyblades like Oblivion and Oathkeeper resonate more deeply as they symbolize the core struggle between light and dark. Unlike typical Disney-themed Keychains, these keyblades originate from original worlds, emphasizing their narrative importance. Their design and lore make them not just weapons but also vital to understanding the saga's overarching themes.

Oblivion and Oathkeeper embody Kingdom Hearts' core theme: the eternal clash between light and dark, making them narrative anchors beyond just cool weapons.
The designers at Square Enix know the popularity of Oblivion and Oathkeeper, as all three appear in every major installment of the franchise.
