Though he’s a member of Organization XIII, Axel is shown in the end of Re:Coded in the memories of “pain”…
Nomura: Since healing the necessary “pain” of Axel’s is different than with other people, if he is revived he will take a form like Xehanort’s. In the end of the story, Namine says, “Those whose memories are sleeping inside Sora need relief.” In the Birth by Sleep secret cutscene “Blank Points”, certain characters call out to Sora, however in that scene Axel is the only one who appears and doesn’t say Sora’s name out loud.

I wonder how Axel's pain is different....it involves Roxas, maybe? Also, in "Blank Points", I did notice Axel never said Sora's name.....
Sorry if this has been posted before, but I found it interesting, especially now that we know Lea is coming back.
