Reverse Rebirth Basement 5, 4,

You can just tell that Larxene ADORES tormenting Namine.

Poor Namine, she looks like a wet puppy left out in the rain. Not that I blame her. You can also tell that she's no fan of Larxene's. Yea, big wonder why.

Sure, if's "deplorable"...as long as SOMEONE else is doing it/orchestrating it. Even then, neither of them take Axel very seriously at all. When they say "Our Leader", I'm assuming that they mean Marluxia, right? Because I don't see why they wouldn't want Xemnas to have Sora. Oh, wait. They know that Marluxia is up to, so they figure that if Xemnas can't have Sora, then Marluxia certainly shouldn't either, and who better to stop Sora (and ultimately Marluxia) then through Riku. Hurrr. Or, rather, the Replica. Either one is probably fine with them.

Sheesh, I'm not reading very carefully because they DON'T want to destroy Sora. Not out of any "good intent", of course, but rather since he's already "subverted", then they figure that he's useless to them and useful to Marluxia, so throw a "monkey wrench" at his plans. Hmmm...I think they either act too quickly or too slowly. They KNOW that Axel can't be trusted, but then they just think that he's some kind of joke, even though they KNOW that he killed Vexen, and they had to have been aware that Axel is no ally. I guess it's "dramatic irony". Or, rather, it's HUBRIS. Now, that wouldn't surprise me one bit since Zexion is practically the poster child for Malignant Cerebral Narcissism.

It's been too long. Last time I saw this on YouTube, it was the GBA version, "Skies of Memory" and even then, I was too busy thinking of what Axel did to Vexen, so, I'm kind of doing some mental gymnastics here.

5,4...

Yes, this is a ROCKET LAUNCH! HEE!

Marluxia Month

I can't believe that I forgot to mention that it's Marluxia month. I was reminded because I thought of the final battle again(still one of the best ever) and his fight with Axel. Then, I remembered. Duh. November=Marluxia month.

So, today would be Marluxia/Lexaeus day. I don't think anyone in the KH fandom ships them. Gee, I wonder why. However, they are both Earth sort elements, so I think they would get along somewhat, if not completely.

Basement 8,9,10

Basement Ten

God, that basement is DARK. There can't possibly be any kind of symbolism there. Unless it's, "well Riku was in the darker half, but Sora wasn't. HURRR!"

Quite naturally, Riku would be seen as the more valuable. He's more interesting, that's for sure.


Number 9

Heheh. Vexen. Quite a colorful character when you really think about it. He got what he wanted pretty easily, but then again, Riku isn't exactly psychic.


Number 8.

It always seemed to me that Lexaeus at least knew that Axel couldn't be trusted and I had thought that something would be done about that. Someone on an LJ community mentioned that everyone, except Axel, acted either too fast or too slow. Looks like Lex and Zex acted too slowly. They've probably been underestimating him since he first ended up in the Organization. Even if they didn't, they probably saw him as a dog, just like Larxene did.

Reverse/Rebirth Subbbed! Yay!

Thanks to TheWertle, Kh-vids.net now has the subbed versions of the first few Reverse/Rebirth scenes!

Hello Intro!

1. Didn't Riku already embrace the darkness? I don't think he liked the results very much!

2. I don't think anyone would want to sleep in some grey clouded void. Anything with half a brain would have agreed that the idea would be boooring.

Basement 12

1. I cannot believe "Ansem"'s nerve. Did he really expect Riku to just say, "HUUR! Yea, the Darkness sucked, but I'll give in! HAR"! Jesus.

2. "A weakling like you couldn't defeat Sora!" Obviously DiZ Ansem hasn't played the first Kingdom Hearts. Possessed Riku was a PAINFUL BATTLE.

3. So, Mickey Mouse is now a ball of light in Riku's chest. He's one hell of a shapeshifter.

Basement 11

1. Awwww...Mickey Mouse and Riku are "connected". Sorry.

2. I always found it interesting when Zexion mentions the second guest being "similar to the Superior". It's easy to assume that "Ansem" is the one he's talking about, but I always thought he was referring to Riku. Yea, I actually thought that Riku was Xehanort's son for some odd reason. Still, Occam's Razor would dictate that it would be "Ansem", so that answer is probably the correct one. I mean, if Xehanort had any kids, wouldn't the other five have known about it?

3. So, it looks like Lexaeus is the one who leads the three. At least in this one scene. People often believed that Zexion did(Manga indicated that), but I guess not.
