The 3Ds special trailer proved my theory in my opinion of Lea getting caught up in one of the castle member's experiments and that's how he lost his heart. In the trailer he wakes up and looks in the glass and notices that his tatoos are gone. Since he woke up there then that must mean that he became a Nobody either there or really close. I also think that that's why he was accepted into Organization XIII because the others remembered him helping them.

His tattos were gone? I didnt really see it

I never notice his tattoos until now.

great theory and now i know i'm not the only one who noticed his tattoos were gone!

Yes his tattoos are gone now..But we still dont know if Isa and Lea volunteered to help or were caught while sneaking around and then forced into the experiments.

Umm but why he had tattoos? O.o

Because all nobodies have subtle differences from their somebodies.This was Axel's .

I thought the exact same thing reading this!

How did most of you not realise his tattoos were missing. Where were you when that trailer was released?! We had loads of threads covering just Axel's tattoos!

So he had to go to a tattoo shop? Lol

Hmm.....I thought BBS gave that away?

How can you guys not notice that his tatoos were gone?

tutti frutti. Much like what Rob had stated, BBS practically gave that away. I sort of had the thought that it was a lie by Terranort, or another Org. Member, for repeated attempts to get into the castle. Lea and Isa were shown being thrown out of the castle after their failed attempt of getting into the Castle.

How did you guys not notice his tattoo's were gone? It was the first thing Lea checked for when he became human again lol. But yeah, people have been theorizing that Lea and Isa both got tangled up with Xehanort's experiments. Hopefully we'll find out in just a few days~.

lol I love how this thread has turned into talking about Axel's tats.

Your theory is pretty good and is probably correct or very close to being correct!
