Well he IS a Nobody. He only pretends to have feelings. Though it still kind of weird knowing that Axel fully well missed Roxas and Vexen here sincerely seems scared to be erased.
I know that this was probably really traumatizing for Sora, and the way Vexen is genuinely terrified and begging for his life just makes it more horrifying, but I just love this moment and can't really take it seriously because of the "Goodbye *snap*"
You’ve got to realize, this the first time Sora has seen someone beg for their life before having it forcefully snuffed out. This kid has been through some fucking shit.
Island destroyed in front of his eyes, friend being lifeless husks, had to witness death for someone pleading for their life, witness friends die before him, almost died many times YEP SEEMS LIKE A GOOD PLOT FOR A KIDS GAME
@@trial_with_an_error9687 Oh yeah demon tide and the keyblade of heart incidents right, but yeah remember no one dies in kingdom hearts (unless they're in the Final World forever) they only lose their hearts or get brought back by stupid means
This is when we really see Axel in his true role in the Organization, a merciless assassin His role is to destroy traitors to the Organization And in COM he directly or indirectly saw to that all the other Organization members died in this event, with himself as the only survivor and witness to the event This was him before his friendship with Roxas And Xion, and partly Sora changed him
What’s worse is that sometimes he just killed them because he was trying to boost their ranks in the organization. He killed Zexion solely because Zexion knew what they were doing.
@@nawab256 By eliminating Vexen and Zexion at least, Saix managed to "rank up" (so to speak) as the positions before him disappeared (Saix being Number 7, Zexion being 6 and Vexen being number 4)
@@wildfluffyappeared thats why Yozora tells Sora that he is being told to save Sora being killing Sora so when he dies he can go back to his world and not unreality.Remember Sora looks different to us when he arrived to quadratum, the same will happen with Riku and he will turn to Yozora or at least look like him. ( its my theory not an actual thing but i think its possible)
No lie, this is my favorite version of Axel. A cold, calculating, and merciless double agent whose motives you can't quite figure out. Watching him evolve and learn to feel through Days and KH2 was fun, but I think they overdid it and kind of made him boring when they turned him human again. I wish they'd kept some of that edge that made him so entertaining early on.
The only game in the KH series where Axel truly feels like a "Assassin with personal motives". Thinking again at it, what he does here in Chain of Memories pays back to him in more than one way. By eliminating Vexen, he gained Marluxia and Larxene's trust, helped Saïx rise in the ranks and pretty much shielded Roxas, since Vexen was about to screw him over by revealing to Sora the truth about Twilight Town.
It's funny since Marluxia and Larxene wield weapons commonly associated with assassination and/or death in general, yet Axel's the one doing the killing.
Y’all really think Disney just be this child friendly corporation. They keep it mostly friendly because the target demographic are kids but if need be they can get dark asf if they want to
@@ethansolorzano5989 That's mostly Disney's own fault for constantly using that excuse whenever they are criticized. Just look at the Pirates franchise.
Axel killed Vexen because Marluxia ordered him to do so as a test of loyalty. Axel had to make Marluxia think he was on his side and was also in on the plan to overthrow the Organization. Vexen was going to warn Sora about Marluxia messing with his memories.
That flat goodbye is what unnerves me. No speech or anything that grandiose. Just a simple flat goodbye and immediate immolation.
Axel is a savage and I love him for it.
Well he IS a Nobody. He only pretends to have feelings. Though it still kind of weird knowing that Axel fully well missed Roxas and Vexen here sincerely seems scared to be erased.
Sora's "What are you people." Is the most realist reaction I've ever seen in kingdom hearts.
I wish I knew
From Sora's perspective, he just saw a guy get murdered while begging for his life. He's probably thankful he doesn't remember this.
I know that this was probably really traumatizing for Sora, and the way Vexen is genuinely terrified and begging for his life just makes it more horrifying, but I just love this moment and can't really take it seriously because of the "Goodbye *snap*"
That goodbye snap was awesome though
Sora: He killed the guy… he actually killed the guy!😨😨😨
bruh... sora's slow reaction at 1:48 is kinda haunting. at the end of the day, he's a kid witnessing a agonizing death
Good thing he can't remember it
I know, props to the animators, because honestly, that was my reaction too, being how more chilled the first game was
Hate slow people
Gotta say, Chain of Memories is the most angstiest and rawest emotional game out of the whole series honestly

Vexen was a jerk, but honestly I found him to be one of the most interesting KH character ever since Even
not sure if this is a joke or not but if so well played.
Axel snapped Vexen out of existence without the Infinity Gauntlet
You forget, as a nobody Vexen doesn’t exist.
goodbye
Vexen: *dies*

Nope. Right on the money.

And now we'll never know Vexen's lesser Nobody.
we dont know 3 of them
I can't help but laugh at Axel flinging the chakram at Vexen and then the fucking "goodbye" *snap* I hope I'm not a monster for laughing

@@maximumstef1039ehh. Kinda gets old tbh
I finally managed to beat him earlier on and when he was killed it made me think of that British quiz show that used to be on TV, the Weakest Link.
“Goodbye. **proceeds to Thanosnap Vexen out of existence**
They kept this but censored axel’s sacrifice
ReCoM was made after KH2
Weird though that they kept some censored bits and not others for the HD rerelease though
you think this is violent, look up the GBA version.
@@zaqareemalcolm yes and no.
It was a bonus in Japan if you bought KH2 FM.
@@GiordanDiodato by KH2 i mean vanilla KH2
@@zaqareemalcolm I believe they censored it due to CERO being strict about violence.
This is what made me like him.
Sora... I don't feel so good
Back when axel was menacing.
In the GBA version, Donald and Goofy also witnessed Vexen's death. Too bad they were removed in this version.
axel also stabbed vexen to death
@@dank9625 I thought that was the manga?
I kind of like how Vexen goes from "know your place in this organization" to begging number 8 not to kill him. That's pretty interesting
Those elemental weaknesses go crazy
@@runemaster8656 yup

Not quit the same place. Xion and Axel’s was at the actual real place. The others were fabricated from memories.

Not to mention all the callbacks to the "other side of his heart" were lowkey hints at Roxas.
Vexen was *definitely* talking too much.
