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.

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.

Votes for Light

 * 1) The beauty and power of light shall not be ignored. My light switch pwns the dark. Oh,how the sea calls 17:06, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) --Axel Lives On  http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/xx199/AxelLivesOn/smallaxel.jpg 17:15, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Lev  L  17:25, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) If I could vote for dawn, I would.
 * 18:05, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Ze world of Kingdom 'earts ees made of lumière ! Let us not forget what its actual symbolism was ! 01:21, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) It's no coincidence that Light always wins. It's just better.
 * 3) Even the laws of physics dictate Light must win. 23:29, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) It is true; light and darkness have always been mortal "enemies" of each other, as long as anyone can remember; even outside the realm of Kingdom Hearts and into the real world - our world - light and darkness have been used to personify and identify characters in books and Shakespearian plays; but the question is, which is superior, which is better, which can holds its own? The standalone answer, is light; for without light, shadows cannot be cast and darkness cannot be given form, and this balance between the two could have never come into existence; without light, there could be no darkness. maggosh 23:44, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) I know now, without a doubt, Kingdom Hearts... IS LIGHT!!!! 16:21, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) --ShadowsTwilight 05:00, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Votes for Darkness

 * 1) It cannot be said that light is good and darkness is bad, as they have both spawned beings that fight on protagonists' and antagonists' sides. However, according to Kairi's Grandmother, Light was at one point a constant force, but even then selfishness and greed were born, and as such Darkness came in; this proves a balance between the two forces is needed, and Darkness is what created that peaceful balance. -- 18:42, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Now that I see everyone voting, I'll have to agree with Master Xeahonort DTN. I am The_Inexistent, Darkness to all Light.
 * 3) Hmmm... Light is to overrated; Darkness isn't bad, it's needed. And toghter we will have a Lirkness... and PARADOX will rule all Realms! Kingdom Hearts is the ultimate PARADOX, the ultimate Heart!21:02, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) I feel some people are misinterpreting physics here. Light travels 3*10^8 km/s, true, but darkness....darkness is there immediately, as soon as light is chased off. Darkness is so fast there isn't even a speed to darkness. It's just...There. Also, light burns, and it's hard to sleep in. So yeah,...confused evil souls, be buried in darkness and sleep. Let the shadows purify you! Glorious  CHAOS!  04:23, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) SUBMIT! -- 04:36, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14:13, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) I vote for Nothingness. Oh... I guess Darkness'll have to do. Light is boring.-- Random! to a point!  16:46, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I've always liked darkness better, even though silver is closer to light. Oh well, I just find villains to be more interesting than the hero who just fights bad guys just to be a hero. Bad guys usually have an interesting story and character. --Ag (Silver) 107.8682 undefined 20:11, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) No darkness = no conflict. No conflict = no series.04:36, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Keyblade Graveyard
I am the first to realize that everyone is voting even though the fight isn't actaully open? No, it's open. It was an accident when I said 0 Hours.

No one is voting at the nom page... why? If no one votes, how is the winner decided?
 * Side note, the countdown isn't working... 01:27, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
