- "Every Keyblade master is bequeathed a Keyblade of his very own. With the passing of time, as you can imagine, more and more Keyblades were forged to be handed down. But of all the Keyblades in existence, Master Xehanort's is the most ancient."
- —Young Xehanort on his future self's Keyblade.
TheNo Name, also known asMaster Xehanort's Keyblade (マスター・ゼアノートのキーブレード, Masutā Zeanōto no Kīburēdo?) andThe Gazing Eye (見つめる目, Mitsumeru Me?), is the default form ofLuxu'sKeyblade that appears inKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep,Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance,Kingdom Hearts χ, andKingdom Hearts III. It was handed down over time, becoming the most ancient surviving Keyblade, and eventually came into the possession ofOdin and his apprentice,Xehanort, who continued to wield it when he becameTerra-Xehanort. A digital simulation of the Keyblade is wielded byNo Heart, theMirage Arena simulation of Xehanort. It is also utilized by theReplica Xehanorts.
Story[edit]
Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover[edit]
The Keyblade was given toLuxu by theMaster of Masters when he received his assignment. The Master had placed his ownGazing Eye within the blade, granting him the knowledge of anything the eye would observe throughout the ages. Luxu initially misunderstood the Master's explanation as the Keyblade being named the "Gazing Eye", but when the Master clarified that the Keyblade had "no name", Luxu playfully named it accordingly. In order to spread its purview and write theBook of Prophecies, he assigned Luxu and the Keyblade the role of leaving town with a mysteriousBlack Box, becoming a neutral observer to the events that would soon rockDaybreak Town, and passing down the Keyblade to his own apprentices so that it would survive through the ages.[1]

WhenTerra,Ventus, andAqua confront him at the Keyblade Graveyard, Master Xehanort transforms his Keyblade into an orb oflight and uses it to revealKingdom Hearts floating above.[2] Afterward, he uses his blade to battle Terra and trick the youth into embracingdarkness, allowing him to extract his own heart and possess Terra'sbody. This gestalt being,Terra-Xehanort, retains usage of this Keyblade and wields it against theLingering Will at the Keyblade Graveyard and Aqua atRadiant Garden. When Terra's heart begins throwing off Xehanort's control, Terra-Xehanort is forced to use this Keyblade on his body in an attempt to rid himself of Terra's heart.[3]

Kingdom Hearts III[edit]
Master Xehanort uses the No Name during the final battle to fend off Sora and Riku from interfering with his ascent to Kingdom Hearts and forming theχ-blade. Terra-Xehanort also wields the No Name, first at the Graveyard's entrance in order to confront the Guardians, and later within the labyrinth against Sora, Ventus, and Aqua, fight in which he teams up withVanitas.
Each clash of theseven guardians of light with thethirteen seekers of darkness creates a replica of the No Name around Master Xehanort's high spot over the labyrinth, of which thirteen are needed in order to forge theχ-blade. By finishing offKairi and provoking Sora's rage, he causes the last clash between Sora and himself, thereby creating a thirteenth No Name and turning his own into the χ-blade. Later, he summons this Keyblade withinScala ad Caelum upon assuming his armored form. Xehanort discards it in favor of the χ-blade for his final fight against Sora.
TheReplica Xehanorts also wield the No Name. When they first encounter Sora at Scala ad Caelum, only Terra-Xehanort's replica wields the No Name.

Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory[edit]
In a memory-based replica ofThe Final World, a vision of Master Xehanort wields the No Name when attacking Kairi.
Design[edit]
The No Name has a dark black handle with a raised spiral carved around it. Its pommel and guard resemble black, demonic wings. The base of the blade is an etching of a goat,[?][4] and the shaft is formed from two black, barbed blades, etched with a white icon resembling a bramble of thorns. The teeth are formed in the shape of a demonic wing, and are set with the Master'sGazing Eye. Unlike the Keyblades of theMaster of Masters' other apprentices, it lacksTerra's Mark. The Keychain is made of small, grey links, and the token is an entangled, grey talisman with an additional Gazing Eye.
While the hit sounds have remained the same throughKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep andKingdom Hearts III, the hit sounds played when used byTerra-Xehanort in the former game are different.
The Keychain can Formchange into an impenetrable barrier, a claw-like weapon, a pair of gauntlets andgreaves, a pair of wings that allow flight, or an orb of light.
