Birth by Sleep Keychains

Ok, I don't know if anyone here mentioned this before or not, but this is my theory about the keychains

(someone tell me if somebody else posted anything like this before, cause then I can't say its my theory if someone else thought of it first)

I have a theory about the absence of keychains. In the concept trailer and for a period of time Terra, Aqua, and Ven did not have keychains on their keyblades, and now, in some screenshots, they do. We also recently found out the existence of Master Erauqs, their master, and he has a keychain on his keyblade. So my theory is that when you are an apprentice, you do not have a keychain, or artificial keyblades with no chains, and after you take and pass the Master exams, you get a real keyblade/a keyblade with a chain. And extra information on this so that nobody brings up Vanitas, maybe Master Xehanort's "mistake" was passing him through the exams even though he is "a monster of darkness", therefore he is a "keyblade wielder of the dark" as I call him.

Discuss away!

 

I'd say that their keyblades look more like summonable hunks of metal than actual keyblades.

 

Terra's, maybe, but not all of them look like that, Aqua's and Ven's look like keyblades, or at least to me they do :P

 

Totally agree with Vanitas thing.
And i think those keyblades they use are just for practice, and that they can summon Keyblades with Keychain, it's just that their master won't allow it to until they also become masters.

True, Ven's even looks like Kingdom Key.

 

This is a very interesting theory and I think it would fit into the whole master/student thing they got going on.

 

which is exactly what I thought of it :P

someone on KHI basically asked me if I thought if having no keychain also effects the way you summon your keyblade, since "they summon their keyblades differently" to which I replied

what are your thoughts on this?

 

Good theory. I exactly thought the same. But i've seen scans recently where Aqua and Terra have keychains during gameplay. Now this doesn't nessecerily mean that your theory isn't correct, because it seems quite reasonable. But i think the keychains have more purpose then only confirm that you are a master. I think they represent the heart and feelings of the person wielding it. And it reflects on the keychain.

 

already stated that they have had keychains in the recent shots/vids

and basing off of my theory, that would mean that the reason why Sora and co's keyblades have chains on them because they were born masters/predestined to be a keyblade master, well, thats what I think anyway :P its not correct, im almost positive of that, but we will all find out in January :P
