Isn't it alluded in bbs that part of Eraqus is in Terra (which is why the chains appear around him. Those are a signature of Eraqus i think)? So could it be that his keyblade retains its power because he's alive in Terra's heart? This would also imply that No Name retains its power because either MoM or Luxu are alive in some form.
Uhhhh I am really not sure! o_o That’s not something I say about KH a lot. I don’t know what allusion you’re talking about with Eraqus being part of Terra - I don’t remember anything like that in BBS. I know Aqua uses those chains in 0.2, but she’s also using Master Defender. I, personally, never attributed the chains to Eraqus. It’s a pretty common motif (the Castle that Never Was, the final reality shift in DDD), but I can’t say with certainty that it isn’t a signature of Eraqus.
As for No Name, MoM would probably still have to be alive, because even though the keyblade was passed down to Luxu, it’s still a representation of MoM’s heart. Unless, it’s like the x-blade, KK, and KKD, in which it’s not forged, and then… well that’s a whole other thing. We don’t know a lot about No Name other than it being very old. Either way, I don’t think MoM is around anymore. And if he is, I don’t think he’s going to reappear. I think he was just used as a kicking off point for the series and now he’s going to fade away into mystery.
If anyone has any more information on this stuff please send me a message because I’m actually very curious!

Edit: The more I look into this the more I like the idea of those chains being something that is Eraqus specific! I don’t think part of him is in Terra, but the chains thing is really cool.
In Blank points, xehanort hinted or sensed that Eraqus had entered Terra’s heart. I think this is what they are referring to
Oh damn. Well.
I’ve actually been thinking about this a lot and I am officially jumping on the “chains are Eraqus’s signature” bandwagon. It makes sense in 0.2 when Aqua uses them because she has MD, and then when Terra uses them because of this scene. I do wonder about “set foot in your heart” because honestly I’m getting really tired of all this “hearts in people’s bodies” thing. Like, this should not be a plot point that reoccurs this often. Hopefully Eraqus has impacted Terra’s heart or something, and Eraqus isn’t really alive inside Terra like Xehanort is.
Can’t anyone in this series ever die? It really cheapens the characters when they get brought back to life every game.
