venxas24 544 Posted June 13, 2013 I think people overthink some of the things in the series. I'm not sure how, but the bottom line is that he can weilder and will be important to KH3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarknessOrLight 32 Posted June 18, 2013 First of all you have to say the oath for it to actually work. Second of all, you have to be a master for it to work. Ventus did none of these. Either Lea had a strong enough heart, or Yen Sid taught him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarLea Quinn 26,501 Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) First of all you have to say the oath for it to actually work. Second of all, you have to be a master for it to work. Ventus did none of these. Either Lea had a strong enough heart, or Yen Sid taught him. 1. you don't need to say the oath .Kairi merely touched Aqua's keyblade and accidently received the ceremony 2.Terra wasn't a master but gave it to Riku 3. This was already addressed in interviews with Nomura I already posted here in this thread so yes both of those — Lea (Axel) ended up playing an unexpected role. I was wondering what was running through your mind when you thought to make him a Keyblade wielder. Nomura: I figured since he had returned to being human, he wouldn’t have much luck bringing back the people he wanted without some sort of power. Throwing his chakrams doesn’t really count. (Laughs.) — It’d be bad if he started a fire, huh? (Laughs.) Is he still able to pass through the Corridors of Darkness like before? Nomura: Diz is also human and can pass through the Corridors of Darkness. Since Lea has the memories of being Axel, he saw the message Ansem wrote on the wall in Radiant Garden and thought that was the only way he could travel. Of course, using the Corridors frequently is dangerous. — After that, he came to Yen Sid hoping to train. Nomura: Yes. Since the Mysterious Tower is in an unknown spot, first you have to enter via King Mickey’s world. After that, they’re training in a place where time flows differently, managed by Merlin, the great magician who can exceed time, as well as the Fairies. — Did he have any prior knowledge? Nomura: In order to wield a Keyblade, the most important requirement is to be “the owner of a strong heart.” Regardless if it’s a good heart or a bad heart, a strong heart is necessary. Right now there are a lot of things that Lea wants to regain. That desire is connected to the strength of his heart. AND Why did Lea visit Disney Castle when he should have been looking for his friend? Nomura: To search for his friend he needed the power to move between worlds, and there is no way to do that other than become a Keyblade Wielder. At the time, wanting to be made a Keyblade Wielder, Lea saw a message recorded by Ansem the Wise in the past and, knowing it was dangerous, used the Corridors of Darkness once more to go talk with King Mickey and the others. That’s why after Maleficent left he was asking at the Mysterious Tower. — So, in ‘The King Departs’, when Yen Sid said ‘great sorcerers and fairies have hastened the flow of time in a different place for you’… Nomura: Upon request, those who can manipulate time, Merlin and the three fairies who appeared in KH2, changed the flow of time in a special place, and there Lea received hastened training in order to be able to use the Keyblade, basically. In the original scenario, we had planned to have Lea able to use the Keyblade when he ran to Sora. Basically it was implied Yen Sid gave him the ceremony . Merlin and the faeries trained him and obviously the keyblade judged him worthy .

DarknessOrLight 32 Posted June 18, 2013 1. you don't need to say the oath .Kairi merely touched Aqua's keyblade and accidently received the ceremony 2.Terra wasn't a master but gave it to Riku 3. This was already addressed in interviews with Nomura I already posted here in this thread so yes both of those Well actually it is unclear if Terra is or isn't a Master. Eraqus did not claim him to be a Master. Also, in the beginning of BBS, Terra gave Ventus the ceremony with a wooden keyblade as a joke. Then Aqua told him that he isn't a Master yet. And then they talk about their dream of becoming Masters. This implies that to give the ceremony to someone for them to be your successor, you have to be a master.

He was NOT a master. Fact. Nomura said you only need to have the power of a Master not necessarily the title . That's how Terra still gave Riku the ceremony . - The Keyblade succession can only be performed by a Keyblade Master, but we see Terra performing this rite with Riku - does this mean we can consider Terra a Keyblade Master? Nomura: No. Terra was not awarded that title by his Master Eraqus, so no matter how Master Xehanort flatters him he is not a Keyblade Master. But that's just a matter of whether or not he's achieved the official title. Even Eraqus recognised that Terra possessed suitable power to be a Master, which is why he was able to perform the rite for Riku.

nanex 4 Posted June 18, 2013 Ok guys in one of the cutscenes they said that he was training with the 3 godmothers and also remember that they also gave sora a second keyblade so that all makes sense Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarLea Quinn 26,501 Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Ok guys in one of the cutscenes they said that he was training with the 3 godmothers and also remember that they also gave sora a second keyblade so that all makes sense No it doesn't bc the fairies never gave Sora a second keyblade they just gave him magical clothes that tapped into his hidden potential and abilities( such as vens keyblade which he didn't realize he could summon ). Ven's heart inside Sora gives him the second keyblade as confirmed by Nomura . Yen Sid gave Lea the ceremony and Merlin and the Faeries helped train him so he could try and summon it and etc . This was all confirmed by Nomura . Heck I even posted the interview confirming what Nomura said in this thread.
