Wasn't Oblivion the dark Keyblade Riku/Ansem used to open hearts? As fas I remember, Sora thrusted the dark Keyblade in his own heart to free all the Princesses of Hearts, and the Oblivion was destroyed. However, when you return to Hollow Bastion, you can still get the Oblivion. Doesn't that mean that if you equip Sora with Oblivion, he's using the dark Keyblade which is opening people's hearts? Or is Oblivion just a keychain that works in both light and dark Keyblades?
simple answer. not the same keyblade and if it is there is no proof because you never find out the name of riku/ansems keyblade.
No that keyblade had some red on it and Oblivion mostly black with some blue.
You don't get the Oblivion keyblade, you get the keychain. It looks exactly the same but isn't the same keyblade. The Oblivion keychain doesn't have the ability to unlock people's hearts like Riku's keyblade did.
the oblivion blade is shorter, and completely black. they are NOTHING like each other.
Squall (Leon) points out that the keyblade Riku/Ansem had was made of the six hearts of the princesses of heart captured so far. So, you see that when Sora used it to unlock his/Kairi's heart, the keyblade becomes six orbs and they go back to the princesses. So that keyblade was destroyed when Sora returned the princesses' hearts. So maybe that was the keychain hanging from that keyblade that Sora find when he returns, but I think it's something that Rikku leaves behind for Sora. Maybe it's both.
