I just watched the dreap drop instance ending scene.When master Xehanortt tried to enter Sora's heart lea dodged the attack.But we see Xehanort smile,like whatever the outcome he has a vessel..Then we see Lea having a keyblade.Is it possible that xehanort is inside Lea and so thats the reason he can use the keyblade?

Edited July 9, 201510 yr by juliermo

No, because if Lea were under Xehanort's control, he would have had yellow eyes, which is a clear sign of becoming old Nort's vessel!  And well, Lea has a Keyblade because his heart is strong enough that the Keyblade deemed him worthy, ya know?  Or should I say, got it memorized?

Of course not. Lea will not become a vessel due to him being a guardian of light. Also, Xehanort is not inside Lea.

To wield a keyblade, you need a strong heart. Lea gained his keyblade by having that so called strong heart. People who are vessels usually have yellow eyes as stated by the Transcendent Key

From what we've seen, unless they're willing, vessels need to be prepared, theu need to be right on the edge of loosing themselves to Darkness. I don't think Lea was close enough for that. And again, no yellow eyes after.

Besides what everyone already said above, I would like to also point out the reason why Lea has a keyblade is bc he went to Yen Sid and got the ceremony then was trained in a special time chamber. Then a keyblade judged him worthy and chose him.

 

• 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.

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?

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.

Yes. Since the Mysterious Tower is in an unknown spot, first you have to enter via King Mickey’s world. After that, they trained 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 experience?

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.

• Why did Lea visit Disney Castle when he should have been looking for his friends?

To search for his friends he needed the power to move between worlds, and there is no way to do that other than to become a Keyblade wielder. While wanting to be made a Keyblade wielder, Lea saw a message from the past recorded by Ansem the Wise 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 questioned at the Mysterious Tower.
 

• So, in “The King Departs” when Yen Sid said, “But Merlin and the three good fairies are aiding him in a place that’s more…temporally flexible”…

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.

Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

 

 Special time chamber. Do you have a point?

Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

No need to nitpick dude. I've never actually seen it refered to as such anyway. Either way it's still the same thing.

I was referencing DBZ. And by an extension, DBZ Abridged.

No of course. If Lea was one of Master Xehanort's vessel than his badass rescue scene would of been a huge waste.

I could see this twist being pulled, honestly, but the reason Xehanort smiled is because Isa was about to attack Lea

I'd also like to add, before he summoned his Keyblade, Lea said "You know I'd come in charging , Keyblade in hand, but I couldn't get the darn thing to materialize. Must be in the flick of the wrist" *summons Keyblade*

 I started laughing so hard

Yes yes and Nomura even talks about this in the interviews I posted
