Kneeling before Saix

Remember when Sora knelt before Saix in Kingdom Hearts 2? This is an excellent posts that explains what a "Dogeza" is:

She considered it a very touching scene. I, well, simply thought "KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!"

I R BAD.

From kh-n.com

"Hayden Panettiere is a wanted woman - Japanese authorities have issued an arrest warrant for the Heroes star. The 18-year-old actress violently clashed with Japanese fishermen recently as she tried to save hundreds of dolphins from slaughter. The star was almost stabbed by fishing hooks aimed at the protestors during the protest, but felt compelled to show her opposition to the mass killing, which turned the sea red with blood. And now Panettiere is wanted by Japanese police. She says, "I learned today that I have an arrest warrant out for me in Japan because of what I did for Save the Whales." And the beauty is not scared of being sent to jail - because they'd have to catch her first. She adds of the incident's repercussions, "Potentially jail, but I doubt it... I guess they could come here and get us, but probably not." "

She does the voice of Kairi. Seems like she fits the character quite well. I can see Kairi doing the same thing.

There's a lot of BLAHS over this on IMDB:

"Let this be a lesson to the rest of you self-righteous do-gooders who think you can do what ever you want in the world without getting away with it, well not this time. hopefully she will spend a nice amount of time in jail unlike the celebrities do over here."

Wanna bet he's a sociopath?

"DOLPHINS DON'T HAVE RIGHTS! BLARG!"

Yea, so it's okay to kill them inhumanely.

Honestly, I tend to look more towards HUMAN rights than animal rights, but like I said, these dolphins die slow and painful deaths. I can see how she'd(and others of similar beliefs) fight against that, but in Japan, dolphin slaughtering acceptable behavior, so she DID break the law and has to be held accountable for it, even though it sucks(but, hey, that's why you fight certain laws). As of now, all she has to do is NOT go to Japan as I doubt this is a extraditable offense.

Kairi's escape

Speaking of the Kairi theory, KH Insider had a forum thread about how Kairi may have escaped. Some of them chose a more humorous theory: She kicked him in the nads. Bless their hearts. However, some cite the novels in saying that Saix beat the tar out of Axel and nabbed Kairi himself.

Hmmm...at face value, that makes some sense, and I'm sure that Vexen, Zexion, AND Saix fans would have just LOVED that. However, it would only make sense, BEFORE Sora reached Betwixt and Between. However, Saix encountered Sora after the battle of 1,000 Heartless and well before B/B. At that time, Axel looked perfectly fine(in more ways than one, huuuur), so he couldn't have been beaten then. Unless, Saix was so sure that he would get Kairi that he made it sound like he already had her.

Axel encounters Sora, but Kairi is somewhere else, Saix catches Axel and chases him. When Saix catches up to Axel, he takes Kairi, leaving Axel to die. That would explain why Axel sacrificed himself for Sora--he was already dying, so he decided to go on his terms(which is very Axel).


Blagh. I like my truck theory better. The thing is, the Saix beating Axel only comes from the novel, so it isn't "game canon". Because, think about it, wouldn't something like that be a sight to behold for some of the fans? You can bet that some people would have LOVED it, while Axel fans would be dying.

I just think that Kairi got away before Hollow Bastion(she kicked him in the nads or something), Saix gets her, Axel goes to Sora, Saix finds him, ??????, Sora finds Axel again, Axel dies.

Blafg, I guess we'll never really know since not everyone is going to read the novel/manga. I guess this is where "using your imagination" comes in.

Personally, I've always wondered why Mickey gets in front of Sora before the fight with Demyx.

Manga Manga and Wrecked Truck

Yes, I'm aware of Chapter 14 Manga for KH2. Check kh_press on livejournal as I'm too lazy to link. Anyway, I'm not understanding why people seem to think it's "canon". I know that Nomura looks at the script, but to me, it's just a "crack" version of the game itself. Of, "Manga Canon", which would be like Yu-Gi-Oh.

And of course Demyx is eating chips, he's all that and a bag of chips. I bet it's sour cream/onion. Yum!

As for Axel and Namine, yea it figures he'd criticize her sewing since Axel always struck me as the sort who made/fixed most of his own clothes. I don't know why. I just always thought he would. I'm still kind of confused as to when exactly he leaves the Organization. I knew he did, but never really when.

Before playing the game, I thought he had left BEFORE fighting Roxas, and had his own group. Then I thought that he left after fighting Roxas the second, and THEN I thought he left after Demyx's death or soon after. Blagh. I also thought that he spent time away from the Org at first and then returned only to be told to take Kairi, and Axel "obeyed" (yea right), but was playing double agent. Oh sure, do as he's told, but keep Kairi for himself(or for Namine , really, since it would have benefited her too). Didn't work out though as Saix is like the Ultimate Foil for Axel. I have a theory on what happened too. It involves the wrecked truck that is symbolism for me.

Axel takes Kairi back to the City, but knows that he can't port through there because he'd get caught. He's not going to take Kairi to the Castle, instead, he wants to take her elsewhere(to Namine or just elsewhere period, so he could use her for his mean plans of getting Roxas *chu chu chu* back). So, he puts her in the truck, planning on driving her to the area where he can port without being seen by other members or Heartless. Kairi is shocked and well:

Kairi: Can you even drive this thing?
Axel: I can drive anything.

And yea, he can, actually. At least I'd like to think so. He drives through the city, but towards the memory sky scraper, Saix appears. Axel, being the bad ass that he is, floors it, and a horrified Kairi tries to stop him by grabbing the wheel and the truck ends up tipping over. Kairi crawls out, making sure to step on Axel along the way, and opens the back of the truck to get Pluto. As she tries to run, Saix nabs her and takes her to the Castle. Alone, Axel gets the hell out of dodge, and is more stunned than anything.

See, Axel prides himself on having control. When he drives, he sees it as a form of powerful control(this is why kinks like pedal pumping and car/driving scenes are so popular), and has never lost it. In Chain of Memories, he has complete control. He's firmly behind the wheel, he shifts smoothly, with no lurching, and he never stalls. Every turn is perfect, acceleration is flawless, and no one dares get in his way(he brakes for no one). In Kingdom Hearts two, the gears stick, the clutch doesn't seem to work properly, and even if the vehicle is fine, Axel somehow spins out of control anyway. In the case of the truck, Kairi is the one who grabs the wheel and causes the wreck.

One other version of this theory is that Saix is the one who causes Axel to lose control. Axel tries to run him over, but Saix vanishes, causing him to slam on the brake and overcompensate. Kairi takes advantage of the situation, by hopping out of the truck, and saving Pluto, but leaving Axel because she owes him nothing.

The point is that the wreck is what Axel himself becomes because of his desperation to see Roxas just one more time.


To be honest though, I'm still not sure if he kidnapped Kairi on his own accord or if he really was under Orders by the Org. I still haven't gone through the Final mix as I'm waiting for the subs of Basement Chain of Memories. I guess it doesn't matter, because it's obvious that he wanted to use Kairi for his own purposes. Question is, if the truck theory proves to be right, who would cause Axel's loss of control? Did it start with Axel thinking that he rules the world because he brought a Castle to it's knees? Did it start with Roxas leaving the Organization? Was it Kairi who grabbed the wheel? Or was it the very presence of Saix, Axel's most bitter enemy, who caused Axel to step on it without thinking, and then in a split second tried and failed to regain control? All the above maybe? Knowing Axel, it probably was.

I don't think we'll ever know, but it's interesting to think about if you like the idea of Axel behind the wheel or a vehicle. Seems that much of the fandom doesn't though because they think he'd be scary.
