Talk:Marluxia

Angel of death?

I'm concerned about calling the angelic Nobody or machine or whatever that Marluxia is combined with for his final battle an "Angel of Death". It seems very romanticized and interpretive. Is this how it's actually officially described and I just haven't seen it? Scottch 04:42, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

--The Nobody that Marluxia is riding was called the "Phantom" in an interview I read once, let me go try and dig it up... But it does fit in in both it's appearence and Marluxia's element. I mean, no offense to who wrote it, but it looks nothing like a machine...

-I read an interview as well saying that the Nobody that Marluxia rode was known as Spectre. This could just be a translation error between the Japanese version to the American. Phantom and Spectre mean the same thing.

Element

While some people say his element is death, others says its flowers. Isn't there a definite answer in the Proof of existense though? can someone check cause I can't.XienZo 00:42, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Here you go. 花 = hana = Flower. --Hecko X 20:52, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

-Marluxia's element is a very debatable topic. His tile in the Proof of Existence features his trademark pink scythe "Full Bloom" and the words Graceful Assassin. The title Graceful Assassin could mean two elements. "Graceful" infers to Flowers, while "Assassin" infers to death. This is made even more apparent with Marluxia's scythe. Obviously a scythe usually signifies death because of its relation to the Grim Reaper. However the scythe is colored pink and green like a flower's blossom and stem. These factors could all mean that Marluxia has almost a dual element-Flower and Death----Final 13

I think his element is most Death. Even if he uses blossoms, it can represent the fact of flowers being short-lived.--Unbirth 23:00, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

That's the symbolism, yes, but it's outright identified as "flower" and that's what we're going to use.—Urutapu 00:10, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Twoface13 - There's someone with a "key" -- the key to our survival. TALK - No... They'll pay for this! Death? Come on people! When he appears, flower petals come. If somehow bones start appearing around him, take a picture and show us.

Flowers are used as death symbols (in Japan, if nowhere else).—Urutapu 05:31, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Come to think of it Urutapu... some places too ! ^_^ Literary works also do cite flowers as death symbols (take Virginia Woolf's "Mrs Dalloway" for example. The very sight of flowers reminds Dalloway of death. Over here, ethnic Malay culture has it that when someone dies, rose water is sprinkled on the graves.

HeartlessSlayer - You see, I want to help them because...because...well, they need us. TALK - *&&X% I remember talking about this to a friend of mine a while back lol. To be honest, saying that Marluxia weilds the element of "flowers" seems kinda fruity for a guy like him. But I think in a away, it would be more accurate if the element was labeled nature. Think about it, not only does he use rose petals as little knives but also wields them in wind storms, which is also an element of nature. and since most of the elements used in the KH series are also some of the member's other powers, cure can also be realted to nature. But that's just what I think.

Sounds plausible, but nature's quite a wide definition if you ask me....... Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne

I also agree with using nature as his element. After all, flowers signify life, and his scythe signifies death, and nature is life and death. 68.97.215.229 23:06, 7 May 2009 (UTC)Morghman

Pronunciation

How exactly do you pronounce Marluxia's name? I always thought it was "Mar-luk-sia" but I've heard it pronounced "Mar-lu-sha" by someone and that confuses me. Olette Kitty 19:30, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

"Mar-lu-sha" is how it's properly pronounced in Japanese. "X" isn't part of the Japanese language, and so "s" sounds are often used in its place. My last name, for example, has an "x" in it, but I use "su" when writing it in katakana. There is no official English pronounciation that I know of, so we may yet be calling him something more akin to what you have if one makes its way over here. BebopKate 20:36, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, hopefully when Re:Com makes it to the US on december 2, we'll find out how his name is really pronounced. Olette Kitty 20:16, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Yip in the Re:Com (American Version atleast) Heis refered to as Mar-Lu-Sha, i had always said Mar-Lux-Ia, but BebopKate is right about "X" in the Japanese Language.

I always thought Mar-luk-sia sounded better than Mar-lu-sha but if that is the way you pronounce it then that is fine with me.Pizzahut101 00:40, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Unlock puewease?

I really don't know what's up, but it might be nice to unlock this page so I can make a few worthwhile edits, yah? If you really need to know, it's editing out some unnecessary stuff (reference to Grim Reaper....), battle quotes, VA, stuff like that. Yeah? OG-Loc 06:44, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Change in sex

Was a specific reason given for the change in Marluxia's sex? 71.99.96.174 19:47, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Don't think so. Nomura probably just decided that Marluxia would be better as a male. LapisScarab 02:14, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

-It is stated in the trivia section of Marluxia's page in KHwiki that Nomura didn't like the idea of having the lone female members (this is considering the fact that Marluxia would be female)as the rebels in Chain of Memories. It was easier to change her into a man, however the name Marluxia stuck.----Final 13

Mar-lu-sha!? They were right!

There is a girl in my high school who keeps insisting that Marluxia is pronounced Marlusha, and I just wanted to know if it was true...and it is. The japanese prononce the 's' instead of the 'x' thats completely understandable. But I don't care, it will always be 'Mar-lux-ia' to me! Thanks.

Should have been a girl...

After the revelation that Marluxia IS pronounced Marlusha, me and a friend of mine have decided Nomura-sama should have kept Marluxia a girl character. I mean, the combination of the flowers, the pink, and now the name just SCREAMS girl, don't you think? I might have had more respect for him as a boss and enemy character if he had been female. Now I can't even say his NAME without giggling. Sweet Nightmare 09:47, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

No, I dissagree. I see no reason he couldn't be a guy. The Dark Fiddler 14:12, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

He WAS supposed to be a girl. However, Nomura realized that it would mean that the traitors to the Organization would both be the only female members, which would have bad implications. XienZo 18:28, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

xNaminéx - 大キライだけど好き! TALK - I am...glad. :::I think it was a dumb move changing Marluxia into a male. I don't believe in gender stereotypes or anything, I just think the whole concept of a "Gracfu Assassin" would be way more suited with a female character. Then agian, I see why Nomura changed it. The only 2 female Organization members (know at the time) being traitors does sound pretty sexist.

I Agree with you there, Teh Organisation (While i love all memebers) Really Needed more Female ones, and it sounds like a good team to me, Marluxia the Graceful Assasain & Larxene The Savage Nymph. I Agreed also with the change so the only two females being traitors, that wouldnt look good

I guess it does sound sexist that the females of the Organization were the ones that rebelled. It's like, "I'm sick of all this testosterone!" But I think that Marluxia would be much better as a girl since it means that the females are individuals and could take care of themselves (if it wasn't for Sora, but then they're all gone anyway). I wonder if they could retcon Marluxia? Like he had Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (like Sadako Yamamura of "Ring" fame) or his other lived as a girl (like Nuriko from Fushigi Yugi/Curious Play). Far-fetched, but I could dream, right? HealerSpirit 07:11, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Hair..

xNaminéx - 大キライだけど好き! TALK - I am...glad. Is it just me being weird or is Marluxia's hair supposed to resemble flower petals? Also Larxene's seems a bit lightning/thunder-themed, and Axel's seems to look like fire. But why just these three? Because they are the first three intrdused in the series? I'm gonna add this to their trivia you can take it off if you don't like it...

Sounds fair, itll probally be taken down later by someone who disagrees. To me they really do show that, Xaldins dreadlocks to me always showed his Lances but no one else really seems to share this trend

Somebody Name

Just something I noticed, there is a type of plant called Lumaria, a plants website saying it's a kind of hawthorn. Add the 'X', jumble up the letters, and that spells Marluxia for you, not to mention Marluxia's element is flowers/nature.

xNaminéx - 大キライだけど好き! TALK - I am...glad. That's very likely and very unlikely. But until it's officially revealed you'll always get the same response. But I had a thought that I wanna get out. It's really dumb but I'll put it out there anyway. Nomura said that Marluxia was orginally a female character, and he changed that, but he kept the whole pink hair flower-using concept. Do you think it was some sort of riddle saying that Marluxia's "somebody" is female? I realize it's stupid but I was bored so i put it up.

That wouldn't be totally insane if his somebody was a girl, the only Nobodies we've seen with somebodies are the six apprentices and Sora, the remaining members are a peculiar mystery...

When it comes to name theories, somones gotta be right. Myself 123 22:53, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

ShadowXemnas - Nothingness...is...ETERNAL!!! TALK - Turn to Darkness! That definitly sounds logical. I'll put it in the Trivia section, bujt you can take it down later if you want.

Journal Entries

Next time, before altering journal entries, can everyone please put it in the discussion page so that there'd be no more anomalies ? Guardian Soul meticulously wrote in the Journal entries but someone went and edited them, and since I don't have the English version of Re:Chain with me, I'm not even sure if it's right. Talk page first, don't put it in the article. Do I make myself clear ? There are some things even the stars cannot tell me. • TroisNyxÉtienne

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} I really hope that nobody is messing with all of those entries, it took me forever to get everything down. Perhaps we should write on the MoS that all journal entries aren't to be messed with? At least until the new games are out. If we have to go over them all once more we can work on confirming that everything is correct.

I'll get it noted. Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne
