It always bothered me that Sora's keyblade is treated as unremarkable, even though its default form is obviously the same as the ones that make up the χ-blade. Nobody has even noticed it in-game. Like, Xehanort definitely knew what the χ-blade looked like, but neither he nor his incarnations ever commented on the Kingdom Key's similarity. Even after seeing Xehanort summon the χ-blade, even after battling him with the χ-blade, even after watching him hand it to Sora, nobody points out the similarity, not even Sora himself.
And the story handles it in the same way. No indication has even been made that the Kingdom Key has any special significance, unique powers, or connection to the χ-blade. No explanation is given for its appearance. And there's also the issue that all keyblades were supposedly designed based on the original, yet the "most ancient keyblade" looks nothing like it, whereas the Kingdom Key does, but has no backstory whatsoever.
