Axel or Lea whichever name you prefer, has been through so much suffering. The events of 358/2 Days made me realize what Axel has been through leading up to KHII, which was unclear at the time (KHII: 2005, 358/2: 2009). He always pulls through for his friends even if they don't do the same for him. He's cool and collected until someone he loves hurts him or gets hurt. That's really what Axel is all about.
He fought Xion just so she wouldn't find out the truth and go back to Sora. He battled Roxas only because he felt hurt or even betrayed in the sense that Roxas left him in the Organization days. Or perhaps Axel wanted to ignite a spark within Roxas to get him to remember, WHICH WORKED! And I can't help but feel Axel will befriend Sora and Riku just as he has with Roxas.
He was never actually a villain. Yes he was in the Organization but was there really a choice? Either be part of that or become a Dusk? Which would you choose? Also in CoM, he fought Marluxia and the loyalists (as I call them) and let Namine' escape. He worked to dismantle the Organization from the beginning.
He also has my favorite type of element as a weapon: fire. Mix that with his chakrams and it's a deadly combination.
He can be a worthy wielder of the Keyblade if given the chance. Axel's character development along with Riku are the best in the series, in my opinion. I look forward to seeing him progress even more from being a low ranking Organization to a Keyblade Master in KHIII.
