    Default Axel = Reno?

    Its pretty obviose that axel is a kingdom hearts adaption of reno... the red hair, pailish skin, red markings below eyes, and the same voice actor from AC and KH2, i was wondering why KH didnt make light of this? and does this mean that our beloved reno hes been turned into a heartless? and how is rude taking this? thoughts....

    Because Reno never appears in KHI or KHII. Therefore, his persona does not yet exist. Also, if we follow the rules of OXIII naming, Axel and Reno are not anagrams with an X added. There's no other name that Reno went by in the original FFVII, so there's no reason to call him anything else.

    "Ohh, but Squall changes his name!"

    If you thought that, then you truly are hopeless, and should stop reading, lest your mind be overtaken by enlightenment and truth of situation.

    Squall can be explained because it's a throwback to Leon of FFIIj, and also is a symbol of his abandoning his old name for not being able (at the time) of stopping the Heartless from overtaking Hollow Bastion, forcing him and Cid to flee to Traverse Town. He says so when you visit Traverse Town.

    Also, this can easily be attributed to Nomura's uncreativity when it comes to character design.

    Before you go any further, no, Axel is not Riku's Nobody, Riku and Sora are not gay for each other, and Sora and Riku both have parents. Disney doesn't do homo.

    I don't think that Axel is Reno's nobody for the same basic reasons as Tavrobel. As for the same voice actor theory, voice actors play many different parts. If they didn't, Wakka would be a foul-mouthed, alcoholic robot.

    Which FF Character Are You?


    (SPOILER) This Signature STILL contains spoilers

    I would have preferred Bender's voicing on Wakka.

    Kiss my shiny, Besaidian ass.

    We can all dream our dreams of Axel and Roxas being connected. Just as we all dream Xenogears has three prequels or that it really is butter. But the cold truth is that it's all lies. It's all lies ;_;

    In Lion King 2, he has a son. In fact, the son is raised to kill Simba.

    Of course, there's no sex in Disney, either. Children plop out of thin air.

    Maybe Axel is Riku's nobody since Riku was once a heartless since Ansem took over his body and he had the heartless symbol on him and even then still in kH II he was in Heartless Xenahort's body, so maybe.

    Doubtful, because if you mix up the letters and Riku and add an X, it's impossible to spell "Axel"

    Most likely from the fact that Roxas and Axel are friends like Sora and Riku.

    Riku never became a Heartless. You can clearly see him fight against Ansem multiple times until tthe end, when he is actually free. In KHII, he takes on the guise of Ansem in order to freely use his powers, and to help Sora.

    No, it was him, but the form of Ansem represents the full potential of his dark powers. It's like a stain you just can't quite get off, and when Riku unleases his ability against Roxas, he must remain in that form. It more represents Riku's willingness to throw away everything in order to help Sora.

    Not that this doesn't have repercussions.

    I can delete these posts faster than you lot write them. But really, the merits of Christmas's jokes or whether or not Tavrobel is a jerk has nothing to do with an Axel = Reno? thread so find some other place to have this debate.

    Warnings are gonna come next, fyi.

    Back to the topic please. Thank you!
