There's something I don't understand. Why Bond of Flame isn't Lea keyblade? The keyblade is basically shaped after Lea/Axel chakrams.

Maybe because that keyblade was made for Sora.  I don't know, but who would want weapons that look the same?

Kairi and Aqua. And let's not forget that the entire BbS trio has all the same Keychains with just one or two exclusives each. Not counting the default forms and the evolves versions of them.Nowe I kinda want to see a trio pic of Sora with Bond of Flame, Ven with Frolic Flame, and Lea wit his Keyblade (which, in leu of an office name, some fans have taken to calling "Eternal Flame")

My guess is BoF was from Axel's heart( and represented that bond) but this new keyblade is from Lea's heart ( even if Axel's new heart combined with Lea's old heart when Lea revived) This new keyblade was formed from a newly revived Lea and keyblades are forged/based off the owners heart very similar to other weapons. That's why you see the chackrams integrated in both.

Well, I'm guessing that Bond Of Flame isn't Lea's because in Kingdom Hearts II, as a result of Axel's determination to bring Roxas back, he felt a strong connection with Sora, for obvious reasons, and that moment there is when Sora received the keychain from Lea.  It would have been awesome if Bond of Flame had been Lea's official Keyblade, but hey, I'll settle for his KH3D one!

Bond of Flame was created by Axel touching Sora's heart. Xemnas said that "it is clear... Axel has touched Sora's heart", so there was a bond of flame formed between them. What Lea has now is his own keyblade called, in my opinion, the Flamethrower.

because nomura didn't think that far ahead and i'm sure some fans would be upset that lea would get a recycled keyblade design anyways.
