I don't know about anyone else, but dear God, I want to see a Lea/Isa fight scene. Like, a big "final confrontation" fight scene.
I happen to be a sucker for stories involving best friends turning into worst enemies (X-Men: First Class was a godsend), so this is really something I want to see happen. It's almost like the games have been leading up to it, in a way. Birth By Sleep kicked things off, showing us two people who have probably been best friends for some years. They aren't seen a whole lot, but hey, it's enough. They've practically got a Sora/Riku friendship going on. Next time we get to see Lea, he's Axel and working for the Organization in Chain of Memories, which just gives us great looks at who Lea has become. We get to see plenty of what Isa has become in the next game.
One of the reasons I enjoyed 358/2 Days so much was because of the development in so many character relationships (Saix/Xemnas, Axel/Roxas, Roxas/Xion, the list goes on), one of my favorites being that of Axel and Saix. Obviously, something has changed in both of them. Saix cares so much about their original plan of treason that he's turning into someone Axel can't stand. Hell, we see this in the ways Axel talks to Saix. There's the hint of that old playful insulting going on that they shared as kids, but there's something more stinging behind it too. Of course, this progresses and eventually Axel chooses his friendship with Roxas and Xion over that of his friendship with Saix, something that probably causes a lot of pain for Saix. The cutscene when Saix confronts Axel about it is one of my favorites in the game. By the conclusion, Axel and Saix both acknowledge that what they had is gone, and they (probably painfully) accept that they can't go back.
Kingdom Hearts II picks up where that left off, with Saix essentially hating Axel. Whenever he refers to him, it's him bitterly denouncing him as a traitor. I think there's like one time when they interact, and it's Saix attempting to apprehend Axel before he gives away too much information to Sora. Who knows, maybe Saix's determination to get back his heart is a desire to get back his old best friend too. Both die before that can be figured out.
Now, we get that tease towards the end of DDD. Lea returns to save the day, and there's Isa (or Saix, I guess we don't know which yet) flying in to stop him. They struggle briefly, exchange a cold stare, and then it's over. Isa speaks no words to him, since he has nothing more to say to him. I want to see their relationship reach its climax and resolution in KH3, because I've loved every moment of it so far. Whether that means a final duel between them or some kind of reparation of their old friendship remains to be seen. Either way, I bet it's great.
