Forum:The Keyblade War - Semifinals

This world shall not be able to stand still for much longer. The blasts, the quakes, the tremors are proving too much for the canyon of the Keyblade Graveyard. Entire walls are falling easily, and the ground is collapsing in on itself. The air around the mountain is now mixed with the dust and rubble of the crumbling world, having been shaken to its knees. On this mountain, four warriors, the bravest of heart, remain able to fight. The shadow of the hero must now fight a warrior so similar, from long ago. They seek the same, and yet they will fight to the end. More violently, the King of the Castle is forced to draw his blade against his long-time friend, the one he has guided for so long. Light, darkness--neither are distinguishable now. Kingdom Hearts above is firing rays and gigantic beams of golden light and blackened darkness out of it; it cannot take the amount of hearts and emotion being released on the landscape. In the midst of a decaying world, the final four shall remove the two fighters who cannot make it to the final match--for then, the war shall be reversed, and reborn. Then, the war shall truly begin. The Nobody, the mage, the King, and the friend draw their Keyblades once more, and wage war.

Roxas vs. Aqua

 * 5) ROXASXion1 10:03, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) I don't care in which way Aqua is "better" than Roxas or Roxas is better than Aqua... I like them both, but in this case, I just have to support Roxas. --Drace 11:05, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) .... You do realize if Aqua wins this, Riku will have zero chance if he wins against Mickey, right? Ok, just pointing it out. User:UltimateExplosiveHeartless
 * 8) No Roxas, you're so close! RoxasNobody
 * 9) If Roxas had boobs was a woman, he'd be winning. Go away, Aqua.
 * 10) because I am starting to think people have gotten into the habit of voting for Aqua becuase of her sexiness without even thinking about the opponent. besides, can Aqua dual-wield? no. is Aqua a member of Organization XIII? no. did Aqua have her own game? No (yes, she had a game where she was a playable character and a main character, but it wasn't her own game). does Aqua have a decen VA? no. Roxas hands down-- 14:32, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) C'mon Roxas deserces to win! Vexilor 15:17, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) Aqua is really empty space, and Roxas is awsume--Laurxafinal 15:42, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) Sergeant: Roxas is awesome and Aqua is hot! Soldiers: But the awesome always beats the hot! Sergeant: We all hope that Roxas wins! Soldier: His counter-part's name means Wind!. D.Dark. 15:46, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) LAST ORGANIZATION MEMBER STANDING!!!!!!! GO ROXAS!!!!!!--LexaIIIV 16:54, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) well, I haven't played Birth by Sleep, and Roxas is pretty amazing. OATHKEEPER AND OBLIVION!! ShatteredWorlds 18:00, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) KefkaPVI 18:28, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Roxas! We all believe in you! You can hold Two Keyblades. Aqua can't. Besides, I know Roxas more than Aqua. :) Gooooooo ROXAS! :D
 * 5) Aqua may be the best female character, but that's just it - she is still not anywhere close to being as good a character as Roxas. GO NUMBER XIII!!! Blinded by the   Light!  20:16, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Very close call. As big a fan of Aqua as I am, Roxas was just easier to play. Questionman 20:40, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) Aqua is awesome... but Roxas is better. I just have to vote for Roxas. -VonFrank 20:41, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) Aqua is a very good character yes, but Roxas's power was probably far beyond Aqua's less then a year after he was born. I mean, dual-wielding? That's just overpowered.--Riot\AU 20:50, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) Though I like Aqua, I like Roxas EVEN more!--No Name (Aqua) KHBBS.png''' Dark-En   igmaXIII  No Name (Aqua) KHBBS.png  21:22, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) I know that Riku has more of a chance against Roxas than Aqua, so here's my vote. 21:27, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) Supporting Roxas to the end!! :D Naminé and Roxas Forever
 * 12) Roxas all the way!!
 * 13) I <3 Roxas! FinalRest 02:55, December 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14) I doubt Aqua could even touch Roxas, for no other reason than the fact he looks so much like Ven. Roxas would kick her ass before she even knows what's going on. It will be the opposite of how she beat Vanitas, because Roxas has no Darkness, and isn't some evil laughing, crazy bastard. JT2DO 19:00, December 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 15) Roxas's last stand. We the faithful follow him till the very end!!!
 * 16) I Can Not Believe I Am Doing This After What He Did To Sora! Despite my UNCONTROLABLE RAGE FOR SORA LOSING, I'm voting for Roxas, since Sora's heart now lies within him. Roxas, if you win this, you better not let Sora's "death" be in vain. (I know I probably shouldn't give him such a hard time since he probably feels worse about this than I do, but still...)(Sorry Aqua) AROS 21:12, December 18, 2010 (UTC)Roxas
 * 17) ROXAS ALL THE WAY! --Never fear ... Superdog is here! Yipee! :D 17:11, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Votes for Aqua

 * 1) I am ashamed that Roxas, of all characters Roxas, of all of the Godawful, depressing, and ridiculous characters, Roxas, has made it to the Semifinals. Aqua, o' well developed character with a good storyline, you are our LAST HOPE. -- 05:38, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Surprising you're not wailing about her VA, DTN. :P But yes, Aqua would clearly excel over Roxas. maggosh 05:41, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

 * 14) First, "to each his own." Secondly, as much as I like Roxas, Aqua is WAY better; more mature Keyblade wielder, great overall character, etc. AQUA COMPELS YOU!-- Xion 4  ever  12:33, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 15) As much as I like Roxas, this one will definitely gets my vote. All she needs is a better VA and she'll be perfect. 13:18, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

 * 23)  Eternal  Nothingness  XIII  20:31, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

 * 2) Go Keyblade Master Aqua!!! XD The Three Friends Will Always Live On 21:47, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

WE COULD HAVE EMULATED THE MARK OF MASTERY EXAM, PEOPLE. WE COULD HAVE KNOWN THE OUTCOME OF KH3 BEFORE IT WAS RELEASED. But Noooooooo, people love Roxas just sooooooooo much....

hate you all... 05:49, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with every word KrytenKoro just said.
 * ... ALSO, PEOPLE, ROXAS!? REALLY!? YOU CHOSE ROXAS, THE GUY WHO SPENDS MOST OF HIS SCREENTIME SITTING HIS LAZY BUTT DOWN EATING ICE CREAM, OVER THE HERO OF THE ENTIRE EFFKING SERIES? REALLY. -- 05:51, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well... yeah. I really, really, really didn't want Sora to win. Like, fo' rizzle. My nizzle. Dawg. -- 05:55, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, Neumannz. It's alright; I forgive you for supporting Roxas before. May you find rebirth in Aqua. -- 05:56, December 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * To everyone mad at Roxas winning; KEEP CRYING, BABY! http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae93/maggosh/Buffed_blu_heavy-1.jpg maggosh 06:05, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, be mad at 358/2 Days instead because it was ridiculous, every aspect of it (with the exclusion of the remixed music pieces maybe). The seven days you play with Roxas at the beginning of KHII is clearly one of the best parts of the game. --

Seriously... for this stupid hating and flaming alone, I'm going to vote for Roxas. BTW: I'm totally against another populartiy contest, like this one. I really like the idea itself, but most of the people here, are just crying too much around. -.- That's no fun anymore. --Drace 10:57, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

Soxra, if Roxas had boobs, that'd be weird. Also, the only reason Aqua will be winning is because she's a much better developed character and doesn't sit around and cry, she actually does something for her friends. 14:06, December 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * I disagree. I thought her character was terribly developed and horribly conceited.


 * Conceited? Are you for real? She frickin' made Wayfinders for her friends, and fought Terra-Xehanort to free Terra from Xehanort's control so WTF, dude? 14:09, December 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sounds alot like Roxas to me. He cared for Axel und Xion, too. He collected seashells for Xion. (The same Kairi used for Soras Wayfinder.) He has given Axel his Winner-ice cream stick (which was something special for him.) He shared his Keyblade with Xion, so that she could get her own back. He was even ready to risk his life, as he stormed the Organizations Castle all alone, to get Xion back to life again. So don't say, he doesn't do anything for his friends.--Drace 16:20, December 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thing is, they're all nobodies, however Terra and Ven are somebodies. :P 16:50, December 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Once she had Master status, she just threw it around like it was nobody's business and started condescending to everyone.

There's one thing I'd like to bring up here. KH has had its OCs ; Sora, Roxas and Riku, for holding integral parts in the storyline, were well developed. No question about it here. Kairi, on the other hand, was in my eyes, a sort of damsel in distress. Aqua wasn't ; she knew how to hold her own. If this is the first female OC in KH to do this, I have to tip my hat to Nomura-san for thinking this up. 17:36, December 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Uhm... Aqua: Trained grown up woman with a Keyblade - Kairi: Young child, without any kind of weapon - Result: Not a good comparison ;) --Drace 17:50, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

Definitely not a good comparison, but I assume ANY woman Kairi's age to be much stronger than that. I imagine Yuna was trained that way in FFX (i.e. in Kairi's way), but not even she was acting powerless. 17:55, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

Technically, ROXAS IS SORA!

People taking this competition so seriously makes me lol. XD C'mon people, why you got to hate? Naminé and Roxas Forever
 * On another note...Aqua, you win this round, you must win the entire war. No excuses!! Naminé and Roxas Forever
 * Finally! Someone who share my opinion.^^ This flaming here's just too much. -.- (Oh, and I voted for Roxas, but Aqua would be a great champion, too.)--Drace 11:12, December 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Obviously I want Roxas to win (Just look at my screen name XD) but I'm not going to bash Aqua. Both deserve to win as much as anyone else did, and people need to realize they made it this far because people actually like them! It wasn't a fluke...though I do wish more people would have voted for Aqua based on her character and not her looks. XD Naminé and Roxas Forever


 * Couldn't agree more, I'm also a staunch opponent of hating, flaming and over-the-top bashing. They're both great characters to me. 22:23, December 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * YAY, now we're three. Let's start a no-hate-club or something.^^ --Drace 03:05, December 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Will there be free cookies???? XD Naminé and Roxas Forever
 * Make that 4 :D I hope there's cookies =D 04:01, December 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright! We're on our way to make another Organization! XD Naminé and Roxas Forever

I'm with Kryten on this, seriously guys, WHO CARES IF IT'S CLIECHE, IT COULD'VE BEEN SORA VS. RIKU FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, WHAT BETTER EXAM THAN A FREAKING WAR!? But, all Sora losing rage aside, I kinda have to disagree with those who have radical extream statements. I mean, it's not like I don't like Roxas (he is one of my fav characters), I just like Sora more (he is my FAV character). So, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but that doesn't mean that you have to go saying that another character is "boring" because they have a simple pleasure (I kinda like the idea of ice cream on a clock tower). Like Keyblade0 said, Roxas IS Sora, so Sora IS Roxas (I feel like I'm quoting someone here), so let's NOT flame. Does this mean that I get free cookies, too? (PLEASE?) AROS 21:37, December 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * XD Yes AROS you can have free cookies, too. Honestly, I would have been all for having the cliche Sora vs. Riku at the very end (I'd vote for Sora, of course) and I really wouldn't have minded Roxas losing against Sora. I'm glad Roxas won, but I wouldn't be going on like it's the end of the world like some people have been if he had lost. The way I see it, every character who made it into the finals deserved just as much as everyone else to win. Granted, there were characters I personally didn't want to make it to the end, but that doesn't mean they didn't deserve it. So I agree, let's not flame and just have fun! Naminé and Roxas Forever
 * Oh, I'm not that hell-bent on no cliché, so Aqua, Terra, Ventus, Roxas, Mickey etc. would not made any problem for me, yet Sora and Riku I oppose because those two are who always win the the game series nonetheless. And furthermore no one knows if the Exam in KH 3D (not KH 3) will even involve a duel, as Yen Sids idea of an MoM exam must not exactly follow the same stations the one from Eraqus did. And if one wants cookies, go ask Drace, as she/he suggested the thing...lol. And btw, the statement that Roxas IS Sora is false...! Naminé is also not Kairi.  18:52, December 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Of course, cookies for everyone! Even for the flamers, just to give them a good example of fairness.^^ Hey, how about "Anti-Flame-Association".^^ Or... we are five right now, right? "Organization V" XD We gonna use V's for our names instead of X's. So I'm... Vedrac, yay! BTW: I'm a he.^^--Drace 01:02, December 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * XD That's amazing, I love it. I'll be...Zevrun (using one of my "nicknames," Renzu, since it'd be pretty much impossible to get any sort of name from Naminé and Roxas Forever XD). And I'm also a guy. :P This conversation is starting to become more interesting than the actual Keyblade War. XD Naminé and Roxas Forever
 * I think that to be fair, we should make a pro-hating club too, to support all the people like me who take this way too seriously and get ridiculously upset when a vote doesnt go their way. Organization Over-exageration or something. p.s. how dare anyone pick Roxas over Sora, almost all of his playtime was spent either on a clock or in a world that wasnt even real. He's a terrible character! Sora is the main freakin character! he can beat anyone! including Roxas! which he did in KH2:FM! how can people do this to me?! Screw ya'll! --CarloGrimaldi 16:41, December 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Awesome, a rival Organization. :D And also, this is just my opinion but I personally believe Roxas had Sora beat during that fight until he got too cocky. He reveled in his victory too much, allowing Sora to retrieve his Keyblade and strike him down. Regardless, Sora DID win that fight, but Roxas could have learned from that mistake to beat him this time. Just thought I'd throw that out there. :)Naminé and Roxas Forever

I am not sure who to vote for. Sora deserved to win but I don't think letting roxas fend for himself against aqua is completely fair. after all he's incomplete!

@CarolGrimaldi: Okay, time to send her to the crazy hou-I mean, uh, Organization Over-exageration, yeah, that's it. And by the way Sephiroth0812, I didn't mean that Sora IS Roxas in a physical way, I meant in a metaphysical sort of way (like their "Hearts", if Roxas does have one). Besides, it's impossible for the statement to be false when the statenent its self is canon, remember from Days, Xion: "Don't worry Roxas"..."I am a part of him, just as you are a part of Sora." Ring any bells? Roxas might be his own person, but he is still a huge part of makes Sora Sora. AROS 11:32, December 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just to defend my "Organization V"-fellow... I almost inhaled 358/2 Days but I really can't remember such a quote from Xion. Her last words were: "Roxas, don't be sad. I came from you and Sora. I am you... the same way that I am Sora." Ring any bells? And even if... Sora may be a part of Roxas. Nobody is refusing that. But that doesn't mean they are the same. They are connected, yes. Sora, or the body he lost in Hollow Bastion, might be Roxas "base". But apart from that, they are completely different. Different memories, different character, different look... etc. How can you say, Roxas IS Sora? BTW: I know another quote: "I am me! Nobody else!" Ring any bells?--Drace 20:00, December 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Roxas and Sora definetely have two different personalities. They are similar in some respects but not all. Think of a chair: take a leg off of a chair and the chair is still a chair, albeit an incomplete chair. The leg however is not a chair, it's a leg. Put the leg back on the chair and it's a complete chair. So, using this cruddy anology, Roxas is Sora's "leg" if you will. XD Naminé and Roxas Forever
 * Nice metaphor, but isn't Sora even "complete" without Roxas? I mean he got his heart and obiously a soul and a new body, since Kairi cured him from his Heartless-being.--Drace 22:19, December 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's very debatable, but Naminé, DiZ, Riku, Xion, Axel...pretty much everyone agreed that Sora needed Roxas to be "whole." And it's argued that Roxas unlocked all of Sora's true powers after their final merging at the World That Never Was. The way I see it is that Sora could still function and still be a powerful character without Roxas, but fusing with his Nobody made him even more powerful and more complete than he already was. Naminé and Roxas Forever

p.s.: If Roxas wins this match and moves on to the final two, he should have his image changed to be in Dual Wield Mode, dont ya think? AROS 11:38, December 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd agree with this, but it seems kind of unfair to the characters who don't have a more epic form. XD It would be a great final representation of him though. Naminé and Roxas Forever

Actually Dra- Vedrac, I think the Japanese version translated into that quote. I wanted to stay out of the voting because I didn't want to get caught in the cross fire. I would've voted for Aqua because like alot of people said she's well developed, She's my Strongest player in BbS(besides Terra), and she practically saved the universe. Kinda. If she didn't save "Terra" there would be no heartless, hence no Nobodies, wait that means Roxas wouldn't be here without her ^^ right?--Zenf3 = Terra+Riku = Terku 04:36, December 21, 2010 (UTC)

 * 2) Because Riku is wearing his KHII attire 13:17, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Since I've never said why I hate Riku, here it is: He is the most boring and generic stereotype ever. He automatically gives into the darkness because he's weak, and then he realizes "Oh no, I actually like Sora" and fights to gain his trust back in secret, then reveals himself at the last second to revert to light. Like, really...? (And yes, I'm omitting all the stuff from Castle Oblivion 'cause that was kind of cool, but it didn't make up for the rest of this crap.) [/essay]

 * 6) King Mickey saved Riku at Kingdom Hearts. If it wasn't for that, Riku wouldn't even be able to be saved by Mickey nine thousand times at Castle Oblivion.--Riot\AU 20:53, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

Votes for Riku

 * 1) Because Aqua vs. Riku would be an awesome final match, very symbolic and representative of the Kingdom Hearts series. -- 05:39, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Sure, Mickey's a Master now...but Mickey wasn't possessed by Ansem for a year. Give Riku a fricken medal, guys. maggosh 05:43, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Better as a character. Even if they are both kinda overpowered. -- 05:56, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) I feel like such an ass voting against Mickey, but Riku's gone through quite a bit and managed to come out un-emo. -- 06:11, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) cmon riku! hes so close, he deserves this. the best character in the series!!!! KeyBladeM
 * 6) SquallTheBlade 09:35, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) Because he made Xion cry and survived the outcome.
 * 8) I am SERIOUSLY pissed at Mickey now, for beating Xion, Kairi, AND Cloud. I've been voting against him almost this WHOLE tournament, so come on fellow voters!! Let's beat that BASTARD MOUSE!!!!! LONG LIVE RIKUUUUU!!!!!!!
 * 9) You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick Mickey for your vote.-- Xion 4  ever  12:33, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) As much as I love Mickey, I want Riku to win this, though I'm not too sure about his chances against Aqua. 12:41, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

 * 12) Mickey is awesome and kickass, but Riku is just so much more...epic-- 14:27, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) Because Mickey and Riku are both fantastic character, I'm picking Riku souly on the fact I like his gameplay better. But Mickey's gameplay is fun too... oh my! This is so hard!--Be a good boy now! 15:21, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14) My absolute favourite character in the game.
 * 15) Because a change of heart deserves welcome. Now I admit this was a tough choice, and I like both of them, and Mickey was my childhood, but I have a heart to protect ! 17:29, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 16) sorry Mickey, but I took one look at this round and thought Riku. I haven't voted against him yet, and I don't think I will. He's just amazing in every game he's in. Awesome villain in KH1, epic in CoM, noble in Days, and just plain cool in KH2. not to mention without him there'd be no Repliku. ShatteredWorlds 18:05, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

 * 4) Mickey is cool, but Riku is better. -VonFrank 20:42, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

 * 12) I was going to vote for Mickey, but then I though about my past votes... And I chose Riku. 07:03, December 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) A friendly fight is Riku's strong suit.--Masgrande 07:53, December 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14) Riku is the best character in KH. Theres no way he's gonna lose. Go darkness! MasterRiku35 14:28, December 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 15) He seems like he's just had to go through alot... "Ragnarok Strike 01:05, December 19, 2010 (UTC)"
 * 16) I'm stuck on both right now, but what with Sora losing to Roxas, Riku is my last living link here right now (I do kinda expect him to win this without Sora here). Besides, seeing Mickey's last few polls, I have confidance that Mickey will get pleanty of votes, too, so it will be fair. And hey, this IS a pretty epic battle between friends.

 * 17) Just Gotta get him to win! KHJEDIMASTER 15:50, December 20, 2010 (UTC).

 * Granted, both of these guys are excellent choices. -- 05:51, December 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Honestly, DTN, I'd rather see Mickey VS Roxas. Like many people have said, having Sora or Riku in the final is too cliché. And Aqua is only here 'cause she's "hot".


 * That's because she is. maggosh 15:03, December 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * I can stare at her boobs for days It's the fact Soxra, she is, without a doubt, the hottest character in Kingdom Hearts series. 15:06, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah. But that doesn't make me want to vote for her... =P
 * Yeah, but that didn't stop me from voting Aqua, I didn't vote because - to quote SeanWheeler - she's "so hot I'd get an erection." no, I voted because she's sophisticated and her story is not all over the place... and neither are her tears. 00:21, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

Ive been barracking for riku for the whole competition, he better win!!!!! vote for him!! KeyBladeM


 * Why is Mickey's votes starting over after #9? When I edited, the source looks normal, I can't find the problem. So what is causing the votes to start over? SeanWheeler 14:30, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

God ****it. They are good friends. I can't decide I'm not voting. 14:41, December 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, D.Dark, Walt is the King of Disney. Get it memorized, man. maggosh 16:04, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

This was difficult. >_> 17:31, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

This is a tough choice.


 * We lost count in Mickey and Aqua's votes. WE NEED TO FIX IT!!!! SeanWheeler 19:11, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, never mind. Guess that was a glitch in the school computers. SeanWheeler 20:48, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, the disrupting of the numbering occurs when someone pushed "Enter" or "Return" after their vote/comment, that's what I noticed. 21:21, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wait, you noticed it? When I got home, it looked like someone fixed it. But when I checked the history, it seems the disruption never happened, even at those times I was logged in at school. It was weird... SeanWheeler 22:00, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Trust me, I fixed quite a number of numbering errors in the last round, the numbered list gets broken when a new line is between the "#" sign due to pushing "Enter". Btw, what is this? People complain about Sora getting too far being cliché, yet they all vote for the deuteragonist which is also not being less cliché. 22:49, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

@Soxra: I totally, 100% agree that's the reason why Aqua's here.(Then again, at least 12% of the people who voted for her didn't vote for her looks) Keyblade0 22:47, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

I also agree on that comment made by Soxra! Looks shouldn't be what people are voting by. I mean really grow up people. We're gonna drool over a video game character? Sad, very very sad. Worse is that if about 12% voted by her character than about 88% voted for Aqua because of her looks :/ 01:55, December 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * And what exactly is the problem with the reasons why people vote for her? maggosh 07:03, December 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well Maggosh, I feel people should vote based on a combatant's character instead of their looks. I mean Aqua's an overal good character. That's what should matter. Not how hot she is. Voting for Aqua's because she's hot is basicly like voting for Riku because mickey's a mouse or voting for Mickey because Riku has purple hair. Point being it's a dumb reason to vote for someone :P 04:18, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

All citche's, as-of-yet-unseen-battles, and Aqua-is-hot comments aside, I just want this thing to come to a close, without Sora, I've almost lost all of my Keyblade-War-spirits. If Riku comes on top, however, then maybe my faith can be restored (if you guys thought Roxas or Cloud were moody or melodramatic, than you never met me). AROS 21:49, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

What is it with everyone thinking that Riku has PURPLE hair!? His hair is NOT PURPLE, it is SILVER (or at leaste White). The lavender shades you are seeing are just the darker points of his hair. It's kinda like with Roxas where you can acknowledge him as a blonde but you cant help but notice how rich or lightly orange his spikies look, especially in the sun set. Okay, this is like the beigining of the end here, and I have no idea where I am going with this.AROS 10:12, December 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've always thought it was just silver/white too. If you have to put a definitive color on it I'd have to say it's kind of a really light light light light light light etc. blue color...XD And I know exactly what you mean with Roxas. In game his hair isn't exactly blonde but everyone labels him as such because of artwork where his hair is practically yellow. o_o? Naminé and Roxas Forever

I am not sure who to vote for. Sora deserved to win but I don't think letting roxas fend for himself against aqua is completely fair. after all he's incomplete! I'm starting to think there are sock-puppets involved but I could be wrong. Chaosmage1

Dammit, Mickey's taken the lead. Don't get me wrong, I love both characters, but I'd like Riku to win TKW, no matter how cliche it would be. 14:46, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

Sure, now everyone wants cliche's! AROS 11:34, December 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Bunch of hypocrites. XD Naminé and Roxas Forever
 * Hey, don't associate me with the other anti-cliches. I'm only semi-anti-cliche, I want Riku to win this, no other cliche character, i.e. Sora, Roxas, Ventus, or possibly Cloud/Sephiroth. 21:03, December 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Lol don't worry, I'm just having fun and not trying to make too big a deal about all this. It's just funny how right from the get go no one wanted cliches and all of a sudden people seem to be okay with them. XD Naminé and Roxas Forever
 * I kinda wish that Vanitas made it past the first round, Dammit Aqua...  he could have wiped out so many cliches.  05:50, December 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I feel the same way. Vanitas was my favorite new character from Birth by Sleep. He just got screwed by being paired with Aqua, who beat him in the actual story...what 4 times? :/ Naminé and Roxas Forever

Dang it a tie and I already voted *pouts*. I want to see Riku vs. Aqua and see what destruction it leaves in it's wake.--Zenf3 = Terra+Riku = Terku 04:41, December 21, 2010 (UTC)
