I honestly have no idea but I'm happy to hear all your opinions

Because obviously his Heartless must've been destroyed by Sora.

well maybe he comes back after his nobody, and probably at some point his heartless, were destroyed. the same way as xehanort comes back

_{For fanservice}

 

I have no idea why he's back, but since he is.....WHERE'S ISA!? I hated Saix, but Isa was cool! D'8

Because Lea/Axel is too awesome not to come back. Duh.

Because obviously his Heartless must've been destroyed by Sora.

 

This. For some reason, I think the Volcano Lord from KH2 was Axel's Heartless, and the Blizzard Lord was Vexen's. Though I'd really like to know how/why Vanitas is coming back as well as Ansem SoD and Xemnas, though it is the Dream World, so that may explian it.

Axel died in KH2, Sora/Riku/King Mickey obviously killed his heartless along the way.

its more a question of why wouldnt he be back

Noruma stated in an interview when he first revelled how a Somebody comes back after becoming a heartless and Nobody that Sora must have destroyed millions of heartless. It wouldn't be surprising if some of the Organization's heartless had been killed along the way. He was referencing this point, that some of the Organization members have come back as Somebodies, although I've gotta say I wasn't expecting Ienzo or Aelus. I think there might be a lot of reappearances.

It's possible that Vanitas, Ansem SoD and Xemnas are nothing more than illusions, like Ansem SoD was in COM. We really don't have enough information on the dream world to know if being in the dream world causes them to become into being or not. For all we know, their appearance is simply Yen Sid's way of really testing them.

yup!! it's because of sora. with ven's heart still in him he could most likely see the people with that heart especially since he's in the dream world so your more likely right about that. Sora "might??" see ven too but that part is a guess with vanitas it's a theory. as for Ansem and Xemnas just remember what Yen Sid said it's a dream world,. they'll see people that they will meet and have already met. =D

It seems as though Lea is on the hero's side now, though. We saw him attacking Maleficent and Pete and defending the King before he introduces himself. So I think, as Lea, he's going to help the hero's to try and help Roxas and Xion. Do I foresee some Ventus-Lea friendship in the future? Perhaps.

 

Also, we've seen Lea, Aeleus, and Ienzo so far. How many others do you think are back? And if there are more, do you think any of them will be the yet-unamed Somebodies?

Anyone have any thoughts as to what those tattoos that Axel had signified? Why would he have gotten them when he became a nobody?

I don't know about that. I got the feeling that Lea is working for his own side, much like he did in Castle Oblivion. We don't even know how much Lea will be like his nobody. Will he have his memories from being a nobody, and how much of his emotions going to play in changing his character? DDD may answer these questions for us.

 

To answer the thread question, it's totally for the fan service (Oh, and I think Axel has been lumped into the people's hurt that Sora has to save, I think...)

Seeing as pretty much every KH fan likes or doesn't hate Axel, I don't see why the wouldn't bring join back

cause hes the bestest

Also, how the f*** was Lea able to use a dark portal?! ....And he can still summon his chakrams....so I'ma assume when you turn human again, everything you learned sticks with ya. *still hopes Ïsa returns...and not as a douchebag* :L

Possibly, but not necessarily. When we saw Ienzo and Aelus, neither had on an Organization cloak, suggesting they had lost the ability to control darkness. We don't actually know how Lea became Axel, the majority of the theories were that he lost his heart during Maleficent's take over of Radiant Garden, but it's possible he lost his heart due to practising in darkness to become stronger. As for his chakrams, they're a weapon, being able to summon them isn't a particularly surprising ability. Of course, he's lost his fire abilities, because he's a Somebody. But really, I think he has all his memories from being Axel.

No idea, but I was really hoping that some form of Marluxia and Larxene would reappear!

His heartless was destoryed. When a heartless and nobody is destroyed, the somebody comes back.

Fan service.

 

Axel/Lea is a character that ultimately should have had a minor role in the series, but the fans love for him has caused him to become a prominent figure. Personally, I think it's dumb, he really doesn't fit and mesh well with the other protagonists and his involvement in the games after Kingdom Hearts 2 feels forced.

HE FOUND HIS HEART, YAY! he can feel emotions

I'm an ex-Axel fan and I agree with you.

axel is a tough one. i personally love him, but i agree that he may be a bit forced. i understand that now it is too late and that he must be a part, but i dont like how they kind of just plopped him into roxas and xions friendship. i kinda hope that they do resolve the saix and axel thing though, because as I have said in the past, i believe that they still did care about each other as friends.

If anything, they plopped Xion in Axel and Roxas's friendship. Axel and Roxas were friend before Xion came into the picture, as stated in the begining of Days, and KH2.

hmmm... but wait, this doesn't really apply to the question, but if the heartless and nobody is how lea/axel came back, then how would Roxas come back???

that is a tough one. i honestly dont know, and i think that he doesn't come back per se. i think that he will somehow, someway be "channeled" through sora, much like the end cutscene of kh2 when you see roxas and namine together. again, i think this could happen, not saying it will.

 

honestly the most likely situation is that they make some bs up that roxas is a "special" nobody, therefore can break the rules. some shit like that.
