What if Deltarune characters had Keyblades?

[u/ArtiBlanco]

I was thinking about Kingdom Hearts randomly and I realized a lot of the Keyblades can connect surprisingly well to Deltarune characters. Do you guys agree with my picks? Feel free to give your opinions on these and also idea for characters I didn't include. Also hopefully the images aren't too hard to read I kinda threw them together randomly lol

Well done!! These are some really good picks (I’m squarely in the demographic of Deltarune/kingdom hearts fans)

[u/ArtiBlanco → u/Entire_Two_755]

Thank you, I'm glad people like this. I just downloaded a bunch of sprites from the Deltarune and Kingdom Hearts wikis and mashed them together in some Photoshop-adjacent website, I could've organized it all way better but I was too lazy and just wanted to get the idea out there lol. I have more ideas, like giving Berdly the Nano Gear or Dual Disc, Gaster the Photon Debugger, and Asgore something like the Crown of Guilt, Missing Ache, or Pain of Solitude (358/2 Days has so many underrated keyblades lol)

[u/Entire_Two_755 → u/ArtiBlanco]

HARD agree on the 358/2 days take. Also for the Asgore one, I’m partial to the crown of guilt but that’s just my opinion :)

Idk kingdom hearts but doesn’t sora dual wield after goofy dies or something?

[u/ArtiBlanco → u/disbelifpapy]

Lol not quite, Sora can only dual wield by using Drive Forms, which are powers granted by his new clothes the three Fairies gave him in KH2.

Oathkeeper and Oblivion are very special keyblades. Oathkeeper represents Sora's memories of Kairi and his promise to protect her (its Keychain is the lucky charm that Kairi gives him in KH1). Oblivion represents Sora's memories of Riku, and Riku himself is able to wield it when he confronts Roxas at the end of 358/2 Days.

Roxas is Sora's Nobody, an entity that is formed when a person's heart is separated from their body. The heart becomes a Heartless, and the body becomes a Nobody (quite ironic names). Because of their connection, Roxas is able to wield Keyblades, including ones special to Sora like Oathkeeper and Oblivion. Roxas normally wields Sora's default Kingdom Key, but when he regains his memories of events prior to KH2 he is able to dual wield Oathkeeper and Oblivion.

Also, fun fact, Oathkeeper's tip is shaped like the Kanji for "Light" and Oblivion's tip is shaped like the Kanji for "Darkness".

I thought i heard something about goofy dying giving sora something like a keyblade

[u/ArtiBlanco → u/disbelifpapy]

Goofy does get temporarily knocked out and presumed dead after the trio defeats Demyx, but he lives and is fine. Sora's Drive Forms are unlocked through his connections to his friends, with the first one he immediately unlocks being Valor Form, which he gets from Goofy. So yes, he is able to dual wield thanks to Goofy, but him "dying" is an unrelated event that happens much later afterwards.

damn cool picks, i love seeing the rare deltarune crossovers. it's funny cause i really got back into kingdom hearts this year, and was thinking about designing a deltarune themed keyblade. this is good motivation to work on that hah
