Enix 995 Posted August 27, 2015 Quick question: Is the Kingdom Hearts manga canon? Because after reading some of manga, Vexen somehow lived after Chains of memories and left the organisation. (As showed here) Him being alive might affect Kingdom Hearts 3 in someway. (Vexen as a supporting character?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarLea Quinn 26,501 Posted August 27, 2015 No Manga is not canon. It's Nomura confirmed to not be.( plus we saw Even revived which couldn't happen without Vexen dying) Nevertheless it's a replica anyways. 5 Robbie the Wise, Enix, Sendou Aichi and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philip Ellwell 5,487 Posted August 27, 2015 It supposedly more like an AU thing in points. It doesn't affect the games: manga and game are sort of separate universes onto themselves. 1 Bewilde reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AngelTheWeirdStranger 504 Posted August 27, 2015 No but that doesn't make me NOT want an anime based on the manga. 6 AlixtheMagi13, Bewilde, Veemon and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever 3,550 Posted August 27, 2015 No, but I wish it was. The Organization presented in the manga is SOOOOO much cooler than the game one! 5 Col.Random, Veemon, Bewilde and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col.Random 3,683 Posted August 27, 2015 No, but I wish it was. The Organization presented in the manga is SOOOOO much cooler than the game one! even the characters feel more interesting in the manga than the game 3 Bewilde, Forever and AlixtheMagi13 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever 3,550 Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) even the characters feel more interesting in the manga than the game True! That's because the manga is long, and therefore more time is allowed to really explore each character's personality/quirk. While the Organization in the game felt more like a corporation, the one in the manga itself felt more like a...dysfunctional family of sorts. They can't stand each other, but still care about each other- like how Xigbar tackles Demyx when he does something stupid, or even when they play games with each other, interact, etc. Also, the often exaggerated way Mr. Amano draws the characters allows for a lot of emotion and inner character to shine through.

TheKingdomkid 1,194 Posted August 27, 2015 The reason why Vexan is in Kingdom Hearts 2 Manga is because in one of the joke comics at the end of the Chain of Memories Manga reviles that Vexan made around 30 replicas of himself, and going by that as well Riku replica is also alive in the Manga because he didn't fight Riku (although he did see him and did say that he was better than the real Riku because he was taller than him) 3 AlixtheMagi13, Bewilde and Enix reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matteso586 115 Posted August 27, 2015 1) That's a replica of Vexen. 2) Its obviously not canon to the games. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mingon 0 Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) I doubt he could be canon at any meaning. Funny thing I think he is pretty important http://funny-pictures.loonyhumor.com/ Edited September 4, 2015 by Mingon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheKingdomkid 1,194 Posted August 28, 2015 Exactly! There are many things like this that happened in the manga that's never happened in game and is contradictory to canon plot. Although I wish what happened between Sora and Roxas in the manga and what happened between Sora, Riku, and Kairi, when they reunited in The World That Never Was in the manga that something similar to that happened in the game rather than what happened in the game, not that the game was bad but those parts in the manga was done so much better then how it was in the game Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
