 [[File:A Remembered Promise 01 KH3D.png|thumb|right|In Lea's dream, Roxas reminds Axel of the promise he made to him and Xion.]]
 Just before waking, Lea has a dream of Axel and Roxas eating sea-salt ice cream in Twilight Town. In the dream, Roxas reminds Axel of the promise he had made to him and Xion, to always bring them back. He asks Axel if he had it memorized before fading away, leaving Axel to chuckle.

 Axel's cold personality changes drastically, due to his friendship with [[Roxas]], stating that the latter made him feel "like he had a heart". In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', he has a very laidback, "go with the flow" outlook on many things, including missions and battles. He is also shown to be quite sarcastic. This is shown once he has returned from Castle Oblivion when Saïx asks him why he did not report, he simply responds with "Oh, good to see you, too. You're welcome, thanks for the kind words."
-Axel revealed to have a very kind, heartful side, which he only displayed to his closest friends, Roxas and Xion, acting like an older brother towards them and being their main source of advice and wisdom. In some cases, he got them out of trouble, including helping out Xion and Roxas when Xion cannot summon her Keyblade and preventing them from destroying one another when they are tricked by the Organization into fighting each other. He is not without a silly side, believing Roxas would vanish if he told him about meeting Ventus, who was a doppelganger of Roxas. In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', when Axel bids his final farewell to Roxas, it can be seen upon closer inspection that the teardrop at the end of the scene belongs to Axel, which displays his emotional capacities.

In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', when Axel bids his final farewell to Roxas, it can be seen upon closer inspection that the teardrop at the end of the scene belongs to Axel, which displays his emotional capacities.
 Originally, when Axel displays emotion, he finds it unusual given that Nobodies cannot feel anything and often refuses to acknowledge them, even mocking his ability to feel towards his death. He notes this in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'' when he begins laughing, but catches himself and stops. However, it has been hinted by Xemnas, and Axel himself, that by being close in contact with Sora's heart, Axel began to feel emotions of his own.
-Out of the whole Organization, Axel is probably the most difficult to read. According to Lexaeus, no one ever knows what he is thinking or whose side he is really on. While he seems to just be joking around, he may have done more thinking than everyone else combined, as stated in Jiminy's Journal. Similarly, in both ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' and ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Axel tends to avoid eye contact when lying; an exception is when he's sent to capture Xion, where he is instead distressed.

-In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', it is shown that Axel does not like to talk about his past. Whenever Roxas or Xion ask him about it, he gives a brief or vague answer and then tries to change the subject; likely due to two of his friends, Subject X and Ventus, disappearing. It is implied that he had some sort of experience with women in his earlier life, seen when he gives Roxas a piece of friendly advice to "not push the wrong buttons" with women. He also believes that women are complicated, claiming that real women are "double dose of complex" (since he thinks that real people are more complex compared to Nobodies), and Nobody women are "single dose".

 Axel's trademark quote is "Got it memorized?" whenever he refers to an important name, but mostly when he is introducing himself, even when he was Lea. The quote was originally "Commit it to memory" in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', but since ''Kingdom Hearts II'', it was retconned to "Got it memorized?", and used in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories''. On a side note, Axel is the only character in the series to curse, since he uses the word "hell" after letting Naminé go, asking Sora to "give [him] one hell of a show", but in the remake, it is changed to "Try and make it enjoyable".
