Votes for Heartless

 * 1) Without emotion, I could not feel the pleasure of spreading Havoc. -- 00:29, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Despite having spend hundreds of hours destroying these bastards, the Heartless are just much more prominent so they get my vote.-- D.Dark. 03:51, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Darker, more sinister, more convincing, more likely to give you shivers in the night while you play with the lights off. End of the day, it doesn't matter who won ; the lasting impression matters most. 05:52, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) I agree with Trois.Oh,how the sea calls 01:02, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Votes for Nobodies

 * 1) these things are a heck of a less cartoony, i can actually take them seriously--ShadowsTwilight 00:31, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I love Nobodies. Saix is one.-- Random! to a point!  00:31, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Nobodies are more dangerous, have a better motivation, and generally more intimidating than Heartless. Plus, we saw in the Battle of the 1000 Heartless that Nobodies are superior.02:57, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) At least, they are conscious, and they rely on thoughts rather than instincts. They are more powerful, more intelligent, and more dangerous indeed - and there is this little tragic I-want-my-heart-back motivation that makes them far more realistic than Heartless. — Nihil Perdere Posset Qui Nihil Est 06:20, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) How I love you dancers. I do so much.
 * 6) Roxas is a nobody. Ansem is a heartless. 'Nuff said.
 * 7) They look cooler, they're more powerful, and Organization XIII.
 * 8) My username says it all...--Axel - Boo to you too! http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll112/Icy_Scientist/pumpkin2.gif 16:04, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) It is difficult to choose, but the Nobodies don't look as cartoonish as the Heartless. Plus, the Nobodies can think, and they can reason.  That leads to motive and motive leads to drive, which, leads to great things.  Oh, how I wish the Invisible was a Nobody, then I could join in its awesomesness...

Keyblade Graveyard
I checked and i have enough edits to vote now. So here i go! D.Dark. 03:48, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Sure hope Talk Page and User Page edits count for the Edit Count, I've got 50 mainstream edits and over 1000 total edits. — Nihil Perdere Posset Qui Nihil Est 06:43, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Zut, cela ne compte pas.... 06:55, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * ...Attends, je viens de vérifier - les images comptent également, et j'ai contribué à installer toutes les Aéro-Lames de Xemnas. Donc c'est bon, ça dépasse les 135 - ouf ! — Nihil Perdere Posset Qui Nihil Est 07:08, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Bien comme ça. : ) Que la meilleure faction gagne. 07:15, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Si c'est le cas, les Sans-Coeur peuvent abandonner maintenant... Tu as vu la bataille des 1000 Sans-Coeur ? — Nihil Perdere Posset Qui Nihil Est 07:23, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

J’ai vu, mais entre les deux, la victoire ultime à Illusiopolis est allée aux Sans-cœur. Et n’oublions pas que les Simili même avaient réjoui en recevant des cœurs. On parle des Simili inférieur. But let’s revert back to English. To the general rule there are several exceptions, and I have taken note of these and taken them to heart. 09:43, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Several exceptions indeed ; and which victory at TWTNW ? Did you mean old hag Maleficent and obese cat Pete helping defeating Xemnas ? Or more than a thousand Shadows menacing the Castle that Never Was ? When Heartless have numeric advantage and brute force, Nobodies use intelligence, tactics and swarm strategies. Heartless only win if they are very numerous (which they usually are) but on a Single Nobody vs Single Heartless situation, the Heartless might again dig its own grave... — Nihil Perdere Posset Qui Nihil Est 12:10, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

The infiltration, yes indeed. The lasting impressions we got from that episode. I'll decline to comment on the span of time the Heartless actually appeared, because that's something all of you know by now. But Nomura-san's made sure to put them in every single episode. 15:13, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure, the Heartless play a bigger role in the series. But no matter how many time they come back, they remain little annoyances that need to be slain in order to progress. Nobodies only appeared in two episodes (three if you count CoM) but they made a greater impression. — Nihil Perdere Posset Qui Nihil Est 15:53, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Um, no D.Dark., you do not have enough edits, your vote was removed. You only have 80 edits in the correct categories. I feel like such an ass for doing this again...


 * I would like to publicly apologize for the removal of DD's vote. I forgot to count walkthrough.  Sorry.

Votes for Way to the Dawn

 * 1) So much cooler looking.-- Random! to a point!  18:48, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) While I prefer the shape of SE blade more, WttD is over all the more awesome sword. Its even Riku's best in Misson Mode in Days. --Evnyofdeath 19:07, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, I can vote dawn now!
 * 1) Simply the coolest Keyblade. It looks cool, and it is important to Riku's development.
 * 2) Hmmm....Dawn....or Darkness....I chose the Way to Dawn....--http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll112/Icy_Scientist/pumpkin2.gif Axel Lives On http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll112/Icy_Scientist/pumpkin2.gif 21:34, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) And who'd have thought the most sinister of weapons would be a Keyblade one day ? I certainly didn't. 02:00, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Light and Darkness as one in this keyblade shwoing Riku's true heart. Riku doesn't walk the path of Dawn, he walkes the path of PARA... *shot*.02:17, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Soul Eater vs Way to the Dawn? Soul Eater's an awesome sword, but Way to the Dawn... What can I say? It's the best.  This Is The Heart In Its True Form  Heartless_hires.png 03:40, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) I like them both, but Soul Eater is too emo, and I only like Riku as a character during the time he uses Way to the Dawn. Plus it represents his development and evolution. :D

Votes for Soul Eater

 * 1) i dont know why i just always loved the sword more--ShadowsTwilight 19:03, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) True evil never rests, my companions. This managed to survive to be reincarnated in the Way to Dawn itself.
 * 3) This is what gets me going in the morning.
 * 4) CoolerOh,how the sea calls 22:53, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

I hope that you don't mind but I changed the Soul Eater Image to something a little better, and I havent' voted yet cause idk for which one I'll vote I like both of them so much18:39, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

I feel a little sorry for Soul Eater. Usually in one-sided matches (which is always), I'd usually vote for the losing side. But unfortunately fo SE, WttD was just too awesome.

 * Auror's comment is absolutely hilarious. That is all. -- 00:09, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
