Forum:The Keyblade War - The Final Battle!

In the midst of their battle, Roxas and Aqua's quarrel became airborne several times. However, as Roxas tried to bring their match to an early end with his Event Horizon, Aqua was able to Cartwheel out of the way, taking only minor additions to her major injuries. The mage was able to blast the Nobody with a flurry of holy and burning magic during his time of weakness, which brought him to his knees in defeat. Meanwhile, the violent battle between Riku and the King was becoming even more disastrous. As symbolically their two Keyblades of darkness clashed, tendrils of the force crept around them. But once Mickey tried to envelop Riku in light with Pearl, Riku was able to escape through a corridor of darkness. Soon after he returned behind Mickey, a Dark Aura was launched, and a fiery eruption of darkness destroyed the King... and then there were two.

Suddenly, the world collapsed. The entire ground shattered as it had been while the final combatants fought on the fountain, and all of the remaining canyon walls came crashing down, forming enormous clouds of dust and destruction. The entire world was a sphere of rubble now; even the mountain on which Aqua and Riku found each others match was destroyed. And yet... the two heroes were floating above the destroyed terrain. Dirt and boulders floated around the world, which had become a hurricane-filled sphere of floating remnants of a war, and the destroyed canyon's remains. Under the heroes, an "X" had formed--it was time for the end. The X-Blade was ready to be formed, to be delivered to the champion of all heroes and villains alike. In the very center of this destruction, more oblivion shall be unleashed from the battle between Aqua and Riku.

The passionate blue eyes of the mage, fighting for her friends and the peace of the worlds, met the sparkling blue eyes of the friend, fighting to accept the darkness within him and save his own companions. Aqua raised the Stormfall toward the black coated figure of Riku, wielding the power of the Way to the Dawn. A Keyblade Master of old shall do battle with a Keyblade wielder anew. Light will meet darkness, amidst a destroyed world begging to burst into the confines of space. Magical cannons of spells shall be unleashed, monstrous slashes shall transpire, and Keyblade shall meet Keyblade for what might be the final time! Here, the truly most powerful Keyblade wielder of all shall be revealed to all Heartless, Nobodies, Unversed, and Somebody eyes!

''' This, the final battle, is where the Keyblade War truly begins! '''

Votes for Aqua

 * 1) Aqua has raised the bar for a female protagonist in any series by an incredibly large amount. Aqua defines herself throughout her story, with her undying passion and faith and incredible might as a Keyblade Master; and surely we will see her again. To you, Master Aqua! -- 04:53, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I am sure. This is it. This is her story. It all begins...and ends...here. maggosh 04:55, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Sorry Riku, but you're not sexy. (To me.. >.>) -- 04:56, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) For the boobs legs  badassery  blue hair ARG I CAN'T DECIDE!!!! DoreikuKuroofangu -  Visit the Soul Shrine!  04:58, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Aqua brought sexyness to Kingdom Hearts ;D UnknownChaser
 * 6) Riku's using his powers wrong. Him doing so is not worthy of my vote, but it might make a good coaster for my drink! --Swordsy 05:05, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) Aqua, you suck so badly, but Riku... You got 40+ mindless zombies to vote for you over the greatest cartoon character of all time. I will always hate you for that, Riku. I hope you die in KHIII.-- Random! to a point!  05:08, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) -- 07:53, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) 1) I refuse to let Riku win this. THE CHAIN OF PREDICTABILITY SHALL BE BROKEN. 2) I've said time and time again why I think Aqua is a good character, despite the voice (there is only her Japanese seiyuu in my world now, I've blocked the English VA from my mind). 3) Stop. Voting. On. Hotness. We get it. At least be creative, think up some neologisms ("bluenette" is still my favorite). No more "smexy" votes, it got old faster than "Mansex". ...Okay, not as bad as that, but still...07:58, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

 * 14) GOOOOOOOOOOO AQUA!!! . Sapiro 15:30, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

 * 3) FOR VENTUS!!! Aqua has automatically won. -- 15:18, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) HOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOT HOTHOTHOTHOTHOOOOOTAH! Other then the fact she is extremely hot she is also smart and really powerful, and in control of her power. Riku is a powerful opponent, but I still hate him for screwing us over again and again! So Aqua wins The Keyblade War yeah! D.Dark. 15:40, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Payback for Mickey --Disney28 16:20, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Sorry Riku, you're a good character but too much has transpired as that I could support you here. I don't want one of the two who always win in the games themselves to win this, Aqua's variable magic attacks just appeal more to me and I have to get payback for Sephiroth, Ventus and Mickey. Finally time to bite the dust, you'll become queen, Aqua! Sephiroth0812 17:12, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) Although I like how Riku use both Light and Darkness, I still like Aqua more than him.
 * 8) I'm standing by what I said during her match against Roxas, if she beats Roxas, she must go all the way. Aqua, you were one of the many great additions to the series in Birth by Sleep, and as you seem to be the last surviving Master, no one deserves this win more than you. Naminé and Roxas Forever
 * 18:15, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Even though she beat Roxas *grrrrrrr* she is still better than Riku. -VonFrank 19:31, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I HATE RIKU and even though she got Roxas out of the competition I vote for the female co-hero of Birth by Sleep cause she didn't get sucked into Darkness just because that person's heart was weak. SuperStitchFan97
 * 3) AQUA!!!!Xion1 22:19, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

 * 9) I am NOT voting for Aqua because she's hot. She's just... I dunno, a better character.  This was kind of a gut instinct (and I HATEHATEHATE people who vote for her because she's HOTHOTHOT- that got old faster than the Tifa "boobs" thing)--Xigbar_-_Replica_Data.png As if!

 * 14) Aqua, Aqua, Aqua!!! XD She is so awesome, I love playing as her The Three Friends Will Always Live On 17:22, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * 15) Her name is Master Aqua and she is going to win this tournament... Just thought, this could need an attribute to her most epic moment. XD Of course I do like her design, too, but there is more about her, than her "hotness". I vote for her, because of her epic story, her brave character and her awesome fighting skills. She deserves it. :)--Drace 20:24, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * 16) Aqua is the DEFINITION of sexy!! Though I'm not ONLY voting for that, it just adds to her allure. Riku shall fall. And that. Is that. VICTORY TO AQUA!!!!!
 * 17) Sora didn't make it, yet he's the Main Protag. Aqua get's my vote. Hyperwre_2.0 04:49, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

 * 19) Aqua seriously has changed the Kingdom Hearts series because she proved that girls aren't just supposed to cry and be rescued by male heroes, and that female characters can change the course of the story just as much as the male characters. My vote goes to Aqua. 03:27, December 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * 20) She defeted Ventus-Vanitas, the original X-Blade wielder, and destroyed the most powerfull weapon of all.--No Name (Aqua) KHBBS.png''' Dark-En   igmaXIII  No Name (Aqua) KHBBS.png  21:05, December 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * 21) User:mrsilverducky 00:48, December 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * 22) User:alwe9704 Out of all the playable characters in Kingdom Hearts. I enjoyed Aqua the most. Being a spellcaster and killing Vanitas is just the top of the iceberg. She was able to defeat Terra-Xehanort. Who was arguably stronger then Ansem SoD from the original Kingdom Hearts. Also I really enjoy female heroines.
 * 23) Aqua for the epic win! Long live Aqua! Her theme, and character compel you!-- Xion 4  ever  21:51, December 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * 24) Aqua uses the power of light, which is the strongest power of all. -- 03:50, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

Votes for Riku

 * 1) Riku's a character that we as players have had the pleasure of observing as he developed throughout the first three games of the series. While Aqua already starts out with such a strong resolve against darkness, in the end, surviving it for the sake of her friends, Riku succumbs to it to achieve his goals of freedom. I'm voting for Riku because he represents the salvation that can be reached no matter how dark one's path is, and he shows how a strong heart can overcome any obstacle through balance and judgment.Master Boye 05:07, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I'm not gonna lie, if Aqua was in more games then most likely I would be voting for her. But we've had more exposure to Riku as a character, and I straight-up think he's better as one. -- 06:01, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Listen, I like jugs as much as the next guy. But this fight isn't about Aqua's tits. This fight is Riku's simply because he is the one existing keyblade master who can freely use the powers of light and dark. This, accompanied with his quick one-handed style, powerful slash combos, and his natural athleticism, naturally allows him the power necessary to beat Aqua. Match, set, game over. Riku wins.User:Ludacriz94
 * 4) Riku's my favourite character in the series, i like his character, his story is awesome, and he is in every game! unlike Aqua. Riku needs to win KeyBladeM
 * 5) Guys, Riku's in the better of his forms (in my opinion.) User:UltimateExplosiveHeartless
 * 6) Riku all the goddamn way, win or lose. 13:51, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) I'm taking the road to dawn. Screw that witch. 16:43, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 16:50, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Riku is much more powerful a character than Aqua. (not physically. his character is) Aqua was light all the way. All the goody-goody-girl. Riku, however, gave into the darkness. Later, he tries to rid of the darkness but ultimately accepts it and uses it to protect his friends. That's what makes a true character.
 * 2) It's Riku. Not much else to say.
 * 3) Riku is such a round character, we've seen his highs, and his lows. His voice acting has always been good and he's really cool. Aqua, yes, is awesome and hot. But she just isn't as good a character. Riku isn't a total sap like Aqua. 19:42, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) I said I'd go with Riku all the way. Besides, I haven't played BBS, and even then I'd probably think Riku's a better character. He's always been pretty freaking amazing, no matter what position he's in (that INCLUDES villain) besides, he's the only boss I got stuck on and spent a month trying to beat. That's gotta be worth something ShatteredWorlds 19:59, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) This is it, The Final Battle! It might not be the battle we expected (or anticipated) but it is epic just the same. I really like Aqua, but I'm sticking with Riku for all of my previously stated reasons, and plus, he is my only decent clitche left. So come on Riku, remember, you wield not only Darkness, but Light as well, so use both to their fullest and prove your self as a worthy X-Blade Master! AROS 13:28, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) I like Riku, and I don't want Aqua to win this tournament. - Lev  L  09:27, December 25, 2010 (UTC)

 * 14) Riku got himself out of the darkness without being trapped for ten years.--Riot\AU 13:22, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * 15) I love Aqua as a character, but she beat Roxas. Plus, I think Riku would totally destroy her. [[File:Roxas's Symbol small.png]]  Superdog1123 [[File:Roxas's Symbol small.png]] MERRY CHRISTMAS  EVERYONE !!! 17:20, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * 16) She is by far the sexiest Kingdom hearts character and the only one with BOOBS! (this is a vote for Riku. yep.)I-chanBlade
 * 17) I didn't want either of them to win, but I can't let HER take the X-Blade. For Roxas!
 * 18) Same as Darkheart but also cuz Riku is a way better character and is actually a good playable character! Roxas pwns sora47 22:22, December 26, 2010 (UTC)Roxas_pwns_sora47

 * 24) Don't really like Aqua's voice actor User: Joebuz613
 * 25) Better fighter. Let's face the facts, while Aqua is incredibly good to look at, fighting as her is terrible. Riku is just a plain epic fighter, and we all know that a large part of her getting this far had a lot to do with her attractiveness.... Oh,how the sea calls 17:10, December 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * 26) 33-47? Come on riku fans where are you? There's no way Riku can lose to Aqua like this. For starters, Riku is a more developed character than Aqua by like 4 games. And I know Aqua did alot to help her friends but Riku went through som much more to help his. Face the darkness, take the form of Ansem, face Roxas and Org XIII. Riku did everything to help Sora and Aqua did very little in her part. And whos stuck in the dark realm right now? Aqua. And who is goin to help save that person in KH3? Riku. He deserves this. And many will go on and vote for Aqua for looks but if your a real fan of kingdom hearts than you'll realize that Riku is a much better character and deserves to win this tournament way more than Aqua does. Bring on the votes for Riku! Only two days left! Come on RIKU!! MasterRiku35 18:20, December 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * 27) I'm just trying to keep the difference at 13.

First match in the entire Keyblade War that I won't be voting in. Aqua was the worst character in BbS, Riku was the worst character in KHI and KHII. No need to support either one.

 * But she is hot. 13:53, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

Damn, 6-19. Riku, I'm glad you made it at least to the finals. 15:21, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

Just as I predicted, Aqua is beating Riku. Looks like Aqua is going to win with her sexyness. Vanitas, Ienzo, Master Xehanort, Demyx, Xemnas, and Roxas has fallen victim to Aqua's hotness. Now Riku is next to lose to her. SeanWheeler 16:21, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE AHTE (lol fail) HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE - did i say hate? i did? TOO BAD! - HATE HATE and HATE how Aqua is winning. It's not the fact that she is winning, I'm not a bad sport, it's the fact that its ONLY because she's sexy! I know I had voted for her because she is sexy but only because she was up against kinda lame characters and all. But when its the FINAL MATCH and almost the ENTIRE wiki is voting for Aqua JUST because she's sexy against a pretty awesome character, THAT'S what ticks me. I mean is that the ONLY thing you like about Aqua? That she's the sexiest character in the KH series? Not because she's completely loyal to her friends or because of her wonderful personality? If you put reasons like that then I'd be ok with her winning. But if it's JUST because she's sexy, then screw off!
 * Calm down. It's just because people are lazy the type her other goods. :)
 * Excuse me, but when does 22 votes count as "the entire wiki"? You're over exaggerating, and taking this whole thing too seriously. It's Christmas Eve, for crying out loud, and you're complaining over people liking how someone looks. It boils down to you bitching over people's interests. You need to calm down, and remember that you shouldn't be taking events like this so seriously. Thank you. maggosh 17:28, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * There are seven of Aqua's current 25 votes that refer to her hotness as the reason they're voting for her. Take that away and she has 17 votes, which is still more than enough to beat Riku right now. Do the math before you start complaining. Now that I've gotten that out of my system, let's keep the hating down to minimum, ya? Like maggosh said, it's Christmas Eve!18:44, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6 votes say she's hot, the rest all mentions other types of goodness from her. So 6 versus 19, don't think so. 19:01, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

Check it out! I'm Riku's 13th vote! That just SCREAMS signicance. Personally, I only feel ticked at all of the votes for Aqua that only have to do with her being sexy or that the voter hates Riku's gutts. I mean, everyone is entitled to their own oppinions and reasons, but just those two alone is kinda lame, even if they don't even make up a third of the total votes. It's kinda like voting for your friend if they are running for class president or something, if you're just voting for him because he is your friend even though you think that the other guy has some better ideas, though whether you vote for him or not is up to you, it's not too highly encouraged. So, ipso-ergo (I hate using phrases I can't even spell, but Kingdom Hearts commands me), though it might not be illeagal to vote for someone for those reasons, it's still encouraged that you vote for more positive reasons (or understated reasons) like Aqua having an admirable personality or having an undying faith for her friends as strong as Riku's, etc., just like what Caelum said (minus the HATE's and screwing). Still, this is the final battle, so statements must be said, and votes must be made if we are to see a winner, and though I hope for the best both characters (cause I'd probably be fine with whoever won), I doubt (or at least hope not) that we will see a rise in votes tomorrow, since it is Christmas and we should all be obeying someone's loving threats and be spending time with our families (and PRESENTS!XD), not on the computor. So, Happy Holidays everyone (I still don't know what Festivus is!lol)! AROS 14:33, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

I still cant believe Riku, who has appeared in every Kingdom Hearts game except coded, is getting beat by Aqua, who has only appeared in one game and has some of the worst voice acting I've ever seen. Most of Aqua's votes are either revenge on Riku for beating Mickey or "She's so hot" votes. And even if they give a different reason, Riku is the freaken deuteragonist for Pete's sake! 15:17, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * In fact, I just counted and without any "Sexy" or "Revenge" votes, Aqua would only be ahead by 3. 15:24, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * This whole thing is making me sick to my stomach... 15:34, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * This is a 'popularity' contest anyway. People vote for Aqua if they like Aqua more than Riku. And they vote for Riku if they like Riku more than Aqua. Simple as that. And "sexy" votes are counted as likings.
 * Don't get your panties in a bunch, its just a tournament on an internet fan website about characters that don't even exist. Gottam. -- 17:48, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I sincerely apologize for my earlier rant. It just really bugs me that a lot of people voted for Aqua just because she's sexy. I think that kinda abuses her character. And about the exageration thing, i apologize. Possibly one of my worst features is that i tend to over-exaggerate when I'm especially angry. I just don't think it's fair for the other characters. But that's fine. I calmed down. I'll willingly accept Aqua's victory. Que Sera Sera. BTW Merry Christmas everyone! :)

Who doesn't over-exagerate when they're angry (well, besides Xemnas, who can't be angry, so just over-exagerates because of Master Xehanort's "Crazey Fingers", which I swear must be in homage to Master Hand and Crazey Hand, because those things are just too similar, especially for people like me who fantasize KH-SSB X-overs a lot, and- well I'm getting ahead of my self)? That's just one of our flaws as Humans who don't have their Hearts in the cneter of their cheasts like the KH characters, because if we did, then we would still have the same traits, we would just be in the KH story line (and therefore, more AWSOME!). Let's just pull a Xemnas, and see how this transpires from the safety and comfort of our chairs (any chair you're using is probably ten times more comfy than the Org.'s marble-only thrones, XD!). AROS 13:09, December 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Soxra voted for Aqua three times in this tournament, while he voted for Riku once. Even in his vote for Riku, he still said he sucks. So it is obvious that he likes Aqua more than Riku. Soxra, why do you refuse to vote this round? SeanWheeler 01:19, December 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Read his comment. They are equally bad characters in his eyes. Presumably the other times he voted for them they were against characters he felt were even worse.02:01, December 29, 2010 (UTC)

Im not sure about anyone else, but I voted for Aqua for a REAL reason. So please stop complaining about "its only cause shes sexy" because theres more to it. Aqua has a huge role in the kh world, while Riku has a minor one. Aqua is 18 while Riku is 15. Aqua is a keyblade MASTER, while Riku is a average keyblade user. Think about it, Riku and Sora had to team up to beat Xemnas while Aqua defeated Terranort(Xeanort possesing Terra's body) ALONE. Now, who do you think would win if this was a real kh fight? 4:00, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * This is a popularity contest. Not really a vote on who would win if it was a real battle. That's the reason Jaq made it so far (i miss the little guy). And waddaya mean Riku has a minor role? Without him, Destiny Islands would have never been invaded by the Heartless and Sora would have never received the Keyblade or met Donald and Goofy. If it wasn't for Riku, almost the entire KH series wouldn't have even happened. And SPOILER Riku's gonna do the Mark of Mastery exam with Sora in 3D SPOILER. 18:18, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Adding on to CLC's point, Riku is on the level of a master, like Terra was. Why else would he be taking the exam? Also, Riku beat Ansem, SoD alone, even before he reached his full potential near the end of KH2, Ansem, SoD, being, as we all know, the Heartless of Terra possessed by Xehanort. 04:06, December 31, 2010 (UTC)
