    I thought it was established that the reason Roxas could Dual Weild was because Xion gave him her Keyblade when she faded. that's why Roxas can't Dual Weild all the way through 358/2 until the fight with Riku, after Xion fades.

    We have evidence of a keyblade being used by two people at the same time, but not someone dual weilding the same keyblade. If Xion and Roxas both used Sora's then Roxas would still be left with just the one keyblade. But if Xion's was somehow distinct then it would work. And did you ever find it strange that while power passed between Roxas and Xion, Xion became nearly complete only to lose to the one she was taking power from? In the end Xion used power from Sora and Roxas from Ven with both of them using the respective keyblades. That put them on even enough ground to fight.

    Really sick of people saying this is a plot hole. We are never told by a reliable source that only Sora can wield the Keyblade. The only people who ever mention it are shown to be as much in the dark as is Sora himself. Are we to trust that Sora's Keyblade didn't belong to him, just because Riku took it and said it was his to begin with?

    Not to mention, King Triton's information on the subject hints that there may be more than one Keyblade wielder right from the start. His version of the "prophecy," for lack of a better word, is that the Keyblade wielder brings destruction and ruin, which conflicts nearly every other hypothesis at the time.

    And yes, we do know how all the others can wield Keyblades: They have strong hearts. Nomura came out and declared this in an interview. It's been mentioned on the site many, many times.

    And while we're at it, the appearance does matter, because not all Keyblades are created equal. Ventus, Terra, and Aqua all created their own; they can't be swapped out. The difference between that and Sora's Keyblade forms is that he's applying keychains to the basic weapon. The Keyblade each wielder is granted is their template, and the keychains are variations on the default form. Sora's template is the Kingdom Key, and one variation is Oathkeeper, so he will most likely be using the former at the start of the game but unlock the latter not long into the adventure.

    It might be said that Roxas's templates are Oathkeeper and Oblivion, but that doesn't seem right, because he can wield the standard Kingdom Key, and always starts with that--as does Xion. Roxas is shown to have his own way of applying variations in 358/2 Days, so perhaps that's where Oathkeeper and Oblivion come from... or maybe he just ended up with those keychains. Who knows.

    And yes, you are probably over-thinking at least the plot, because it's an excuse plot to get people to fight monsters. It's hardly unheard of.

    Well, in keeping with my hypothesis, it might be that Kingdom Keys can be duplicated. Otherwise, I have no way to account for it.

    Actually, that right there explains it. Keyblades are created by memories and experiences. Otherwise its the basic kingdom Key. I'm willing to bet that Terra, Aqua, and Ventus had a reason or experience that gave them their keyblades, but As neither Xion nor Roxas had had any they both had the kingdom Key. Roxas gained the Ability from Ventus, since he had his heart, and Xion from Sora.
