Axel has died once, watch the cutscenes and you can totally see him portal off in CoM and KHII.

Well Xion didn't just die, she returned to Sora, so her heart is in there and Roxas was put in there by DiZ, so his notes should allow them to figure out how to undo that.Naminé joined willingly with Kairi, but if they can't think of anything else they could free Kairi's heart and allow Naminé to come back.

Let me just say I am about as far from a Sora fanboy as you can get, but this theory is absurd. We do not know when Vanitas took on Sora's appearance, except that it happened before the final portion of Birth by Sleep, before that we've only seen him with his mask. We have seen young Sora (6 i believe) and Vanitas, who looks like older Sora. So unless he was waiting in hibernation until Sora was old enough to look like him, your theory is flawed. The Keyblade is the single greatest Deus ex Machina known to man, an quadriplegic could master it in a day if the plot required it* He was able to use three Keyblades because he had the hearts of 4 Keyblade wielders in him, Roxas, Ven, Xion, and himself, so he could probably use 4. Maybe he'll use all the Ultima Keyblades at once. And they knew when to enact the plan, because Yen Sid is predictable, he'll send them to free the Sleeping Worlds as soon as possible. Yay! my favorite part of your argument. Sora's the prison, not the imprisoner. The piece of scum who imprisoned hearts in Sora is DiZ. He's basically pure evil. But as for not caring about the Nobodies... Yeah, that's just plain evil, but I think it proof as it being Sora, Vanitas has more of a conscience. *Also, technically as Sora isn't a master he hasn't mastered it.

Creating a Nobody version of oneself is fairly common, it's just a fan thing if you saw it in a signature or similar.

Have you played 3Ds?

It depends on a lot of things. If his life was tragic I might, but if he's just gotten fed up, probably not.

Yeah, so we just have to find him and convince him fighting will be worth all the effort. Unless maybe his Somebody's super gung-ho. That'd be hilarious.

He's supposed to 'liberate his true disposition' through violence. In other words they want Roxas because he's easier to manipulate, and they think Roxas will come out in combat. Xaldin's purpose can't be the formation of Heartless, if Beast turns into a Heartless he'd be a pure-blood, useless for Kingdom Hearts. When did they say they can't just throw Heartless into a world and call it a day, there have to be conditions? No insult intended towards Sora, but he's not exactly bright. For most people if you can see and feel something it exists. Having a group of individuals who look exactly like humans (consider aside from Clayton Sora has never killed/lead to the death of a humaniform individual to his knowledge) and seem to exist should be at least a little problem, he doesn't even blink when they die, in what appears to be intense agony*. I give him a free pass in CoM because Naminé is messing with his head, but Xemnas appears to boil, Xaldin is shredded by the wind, and Axel fades away after sacrificing himself to help Sora. I hate to say this, but the manga did something well. When Sora fights Xaldin, he doesn't kill him, he beats him up to the point Xaldin can't fight anymore, and sends him to tell the Organization to stay out of his way. Admittedly he gets killed by a Vexen Replica, but that's what a hero does, not killing people and not giving it another thought. I don't get the chronic villainy for anyone but Xigbar and Xemnas. The rest either weren't really villains, I mean Demyx doesn't even do anything. At least Luxord let loose a giant Heartless in Port Royal. Axel wasn't any sort of villain even in KH, the first time you fight him it's just for his own amusement, the second he needs to fake his own death to get Sora to leave him alone, and because fighting Sora's fun. *except Xigbar and Luxord, who die with style and a sense of betrayal respectively

It wouldn't be corrupted in the sense that darkness corrupts, conscider when Eraqus was going to kill Ven to prevent the formation of the X-Blade. He was overly close to the light, someone who wants to wipe out all Darkness has been corrupted by the light, and it helps prove the point the dark isn't evil in this series, darkness is power to fight, light is power to protect, darkness is destruction, light is reconstruction. Having a light of pure light or darkness isn't a sign of being good or bad, it simply means you can't utilize the other.

Step siblings. Namine is born of Kairi's heart released from Sora, Roxas is born from Ventus' heart released from Sora.

Sora goes about antagonizing the Organization members, and assuming that there's nothing wrong with killing them, and wjile I don't condone what the Organization was doing, there were better ways of dealing with them, especially Demyx, who after he boils away Sora's first reaction isn't 'Ahhh! I just killed somebody, and then it totally looked like they boiled alive' it's, 'Who else can I do this to?' I'll agree that some of the confrontations would have been hard to avoid, but Sora takes the approach 'I see a Nobody. I will attack the Nobody*. I will kill the Nobody. I will look for a Nobody.' The fact that they had hearts is what makes it truly terrible Sora doesn't mind. He decided he can kill the Nobodies, because they don't even exist or have hearts. Except they do, you just killed people. With every right to existence. Ergo he was in the wrong, and he needs to admit it. He admits Roxas has a right to an independent existence, therefore he should admit depriving the Nobodies of that right is not OK. And all of their actions make sense with or without hearts, Demyx attacks Sora because he was told to, and doesn't want to get turned into a Dusk. Granted this doesn't explain where all that power came from, but his attacking Sora makes sense. Xaldin views love as a weakness, and intends to gain a powerful Nobody while proving himself right, because he uses it to manipulate Beast. Marluxia wants to betray Xemnas because he wants power. Maybe he's even confusing his desire for a heart for a desire for power, but he is after power. *Exceptions being Saïx whom he begs to let him see Kairi, and Xemnas, who he decides to give a second chance. ¬_¬ Because the genocidal maniac deserves another chance, but not Demyx, he's just unforgivable.

I felt mostly disappointed by the story, there was a lot that could have been done better, and some things that simply didn't make sense. The plot for most of the worlds was severely sub-par for anything but Days (which has it make sense. Traverse Town- Excellent plot, well set-up, no complaints City of Bells- This is my favorite Disney animated movie, and its pretty dark, with Frollo ready to execute Esmerelda if she doesn't sleep with him, and blaming God for this. There's a lot you can do with this. instead we have Riku explaining that it's not Frollo's years of mental conditioning and mental manipulation, or an understandably intense fear of going outside after he is assaulted by the townsfolk that is keeping Quasimodo imprisoned. Its his heart. Riku, you're the brains of this group, DON'T BE STUPID. Sora is just there to fight some Dream Eaters. He really has nothing contributed or to contribute. Prankster's Paradise- This world had the most possibility, particularly as someone who objects to Sora's casual murder of the Nobodies. Instead we just sort of help Pinnochio get to Gepetto, and Sora is basically smacked in the face with the idea that he might have killed actual people. Sora instantly rejects it, but if it were true then... no he just doesn't see any problem with what he did. Riku is just told he needs a conscience. The Grid: This was done well. It is awesome. For Sora. Sora has to deal with people he cares about not conscidered to have hearts. The way he deals with this is exactly what one would expect, you're wrong I know there is a bond between us, a bond between hearts. And the moment when Tron falls down and Sora reaches out to try and save him, brilliant. Riku just follows the plot of that movie (what little of it is there is). Traverse Town- Still awesome. Plot points are addressed, Sora acts like a good person, Joshua pokes some fun at Sora, and Riku makes friends. Country of the Musketeers- This world has basically no point, other than make Donald and Goofy even less useful. Oh, and to muddle our timelines even further, and tell us Riku can make boxes disappear. Symphony of Sorcery- This world is stupid. It could have been good, it was stupid, and I HATE the battle with Chernabog. The World that Never Was- All the problems with this game could be forgiven if they had dealt with this well. They didn't, and it gives the game its death blow. Sora is in a wierd world of illusion, seeing people as they turn into other people, and generally this is weird. But the biggest problem is when he sees Roxas. Now if you missed it, I object to Sora killing the Nobodies, I think they have and had a right to exist, and he had no right to deprive them of that without pressing need (Xemnas is the only one I can condone). So you might think I should love this scene. But I can't, because Sora needs to admit he was wrong. In KHII he endorsed the 'Nobodies have no hearts, and therefore may be killed without qualms, after all, they don't exist' by this point in KH 3Ds his opinion is 'Nobodies have a right to exist, that they should not be deprived of, but there is nothing wrong with my previous actions' He needs to apologize for killing them, and then he'll need to wonder if he even has the right to continue as a Keyblade wielder if he can kill people without thought. Unfortunately this makes his grand speech, about how he's just a part of something much greater problematic. He hasn't earned it. You don't get to call Xemnas, the man who is willing to commit genocide to create Kingdom Hearts out on lying to the other Nobodies when you killed them for the crime of being Nobodies. Even if you though for some ineffable reason they were friends, he's still in the moral high-ground. Xemnas. The Nobody of Xehanort, who wants to start a Keybalde War to see what would happen and lose countless lives to forge a X-Blade, has the moral high-ground over Sora, and nothing can change that, but as Sora is our hero, I should expect him to try and fix that. He has no reaction to the revelation he killed people with hearts, and blames it all on Xemnas. What in the name of the bloody blazes is this?!?!? As for Riku, his story is much better, it's his job to rescue Sora, he does this and we have the most anti-climactic boss battle ever against our Mysterious Figure. I know secret bosses aren't supposed to be taken as entirely canonical in terms of powers and strength, but DANG, the guy is pathetic. We fight him, and we are given an indication we're going to have Drama between Lea and Isa. Fantastic, I really want to have to deal with this in the next game. At least Riku's final job is fun, a darkness infused Ventus armor and WTF another Ansem! Get out of there you creeper! Alright, we've got the data, and we've finished the game. Woot. Why didn't I like the game? The worlds were anti-climactic, Sora didn't learn anything, and Riku's jobs were save Sora and tag along in the background of anything important.

Well the Restoration committee probably didn't think it necessary to put guards around Ansem's lab when nothing happens there.

What if you wrapped the cookie dough around that graham cracker, and then just used that, and then cooked them? Can you do that?

It isn't very good (aside from a Jabberwocky with Christopher Lee's voice, Johny Depp reciting The Jabberwocky, and the Cheshire Cat) but neither was Tron Legacy, and Nomura did some awesome stuff with that and Sora.

Wonderland's awesome, but hard to do well and rather limiting. But if you think you can do it go for it.

I think BBS far outstripped this game, the worlds were better, getting commands was more enjoyable, the Keybaldes were better, and the plot was deeper throughout.

I think Sora would make a terrible Assassin, and that it would only be cool if there was some connection between the worlds, and even then confined to Keyblades. I don't really want to have outfits become a new deal in Kingdom Hearts, but special Keyblades that are related to other series might be interesting.

I can't become a Nobody T-T There is no way to stick an X in my name and get anything aside from a train wreck of letters. So I am Xemon!

It's different, one was a portal between times, the other is actively moving around time. Essentially Maleficent/Pete found a loophole, a way to effect the past without using time travel in Xehanort's sense.

Sword for Staff, magics a pain in the arse.

But if we continue to have two parties, maybe three in small situation corresponding, for simplicities sake to options1, 2 & 3, and most people decide to vote 5 then who would that go to?And the problem with the chef is that I've selected more choices from chef B, so that's who I'll get, even if I'm allergic to turkey, and so have to have something else.

It'sTron is not a squeal in a different way, it doesn't continue any storyline, but the events of Tron did happen, the two Wonderlands are wildly different, so while Sora knows Rinzler/Tron, he wouldn't know anyone in new Wonderland.

Why do so many people hate Wonderland, a marvelous land where truth masquerades as nonsense disguised as semi-sensible gibberish, and Cheshire Cats walk about, masters of all that enters their domain?

Clarify, do you mean they are only, primarily, or occasionally attracted to them.
