Theory on Lea's role in KH3

[Charles Matthews 24]

 

 

Well back with another theory and as promised, it would be on Lea aka Axel.... personal fave of mine btw isn't he everyone's if not he should be. Well we left off with Lea in 3D after he got his own Keyblade and then rushed off back to Radiant Garden in a "hurry" according to Goofy. Now we have the plot outline for KH3 pretty much mapped out with 

 

• Sora, Donald and Goofy heading off to find the "Key To Return Hearts" aka deal with the whole Roxas, Xion and Namine bizz with Ansem's data involved. Plus most likely protecting the 7 Princesses of Light in the process as they travel through their worlds. 
• Riku and Mickey searching for lost Keyblade wielders(which obviously pertains to Terra, Aqua and Ven) Riku/Mickey saving Aqua makes sense seeing how she's in the Realm of Darkness and those two have been to the Realm of Darkness and have knowledge on it.  Saving Aqua, then leads to them saving Ven with Sora's help, and Terra.......well.......

So with our main protagonists off doing their own shiz, where does that leave our lovable Flurry of Flames to do? I doubt he'll be going off with Sora or Riku so.. what does that leave him to do since him just standing around not doing anything especially with his new Keyblade and all just seems to be a waste. Before he went off on his Keyblade training trip in 3D, he had a goal on bringing Isa and Braig since he along with the other former Org members were looking for them and Terranort.  Well seeing how he knows where they ended up, he most rushed back to RG, informed the former Org members about the situation and.... here's a stretch but seeing Ienzo's words about the possibility of maybe the other Org 13 members being in Twilight Town if their worlds were unavailable kinda leads me to sort of assume......

 

 

...... that maybe Lea will head off to go and find Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia and Larxene. Nomura clearly hasn't forgotten about them going by his 3D Ultimania interview.

 

— Xigbar and Saix appeared as members of Organisation XIII. Did they return as humans like Lea and the others?

Nomura: The conditions of becoming a human have been met, so you’d think they had returned, wouldn’t you? For them to have been with Xehanort and the others, perhaps they were collected after they had become humans and before Lea and the others woke up. You could say the same for the members of Organisation XIII that didn’t appear in this title, however… I’d rather everyone use their imaginations.

 

So yeah basically as a side story in the bigger story for KH3, we could have Lea heading off to look for the ex Org members that weren't recompleted in RG. Most likely to sort of recruit them to help his own personal cause which would help Sora and co's cause probably. Seeing how buddy-buddy Lea seems to be with the Apprentices especially Ienzo despite the C.O. incident, I could assume Lea won't have as much trouble with the other 4 Org members...... well maybe with Marluxia and Larxene if they still retain their old traits and still pissed off about Axel's betrayal...But Lea will probably just blame it all on Axel, and they just instantly forgive him and serve him because he's Lea. Got it memorized?

 

With Lea off to find those 4, somehow getting their cooperation on helping with the Xehanort biz or atleast coming with him to RG, Lea would in a way sort of rally up the old Organization members to help deal with the threat of the New Organization or atleast offer assistance even if it's in small doses. Would give him something to do and a way be helping Sora, Riku, Mickey and the others in their preparations for the final battle against Xehanort and his army. I'd prefer Lea doing that instead of just waiting around and be irrelevant for like 90% of the story until the final battle, deal with Isa and probably redeem him, before closing it off with him having a tearful reunion with Roxas and Xion before they head off to eat ice cream and be irrelevant for like the remainder of the series.

 

Lea could still have all that but he could have his own little mini story building up to it as well ya know? Just my personal take and theory on what could be done with Lea in KH3.

They are just dead. They can only be back as Xehanorts.

We know that Lea will team up with Kairi :smile:.

I at least would prefer if he doesn't go with Sora or Riku, I don't see him the type of guy who would go in groups Depends on what he wants to do of course, but I think he just wants to learn how to use the Keyblade and be on his way.

We know that Lea will team up with Kairi :smile:.

That would be amazing, seeing Lea and Kairi working together. I can already imagine the funny and beautiful moments. :-D

[Forever 3,550]

Actually....yeah! A Lea/Kairi team really does seem the most plausible! Especially since they got off on such a bad foot in KH2. :tongue:

[Kibo 10]

I am hoping that Lea will go on a quest to save Sai. It would be really cool to see him trying to save his friend and bring him back from Xehanort's influence

He mentioned Traverse Town, not Twilight Town.

Well I do see some problems with this theory. The first being that the Kingdom Hearts series is CLUTTERED with characters. Kingdom Hearts 3D hinted at a return for Roxas, Xion, Namine, Ventus, Terra, and Aqua all people who have major roles in the series. When you include them with Sora, Donald, Goofy, Riku, Kairi, and King Mickey along with Lea you have too many characters to know what to do with. I think adding the other organization members would over saturate a game series already too saturated with characters who need the loose ends to their stories tied up. I do agree with your point however that Lea is the type of person to travel alone. So whatever his role in KH3 is, I imagine it probably has to do with information gathering or saving Saix.

 

     I do also disagree with the people who say he will team with Kairi since:

           A. He isn't a team player

           B. Kairi's place is with Riku and Sora, and having her partner with someone like Lea not only doesn't make sense, but would completely shove her character to

               the side when they finally hinted at giving her more screen time in Kingdom Hearts 3D and her relationship with Lea is not important.

After the event of Kingdom Hearts 3, Lea, Isa and Scrooge McDuck are going to be the guardians of Radiant Garden... actually, there should be a spinoff Kingdom Hearts game with these three after the events of Kingdom Hearts 3! That would be too good for words!
