It's called knives officially I believe... as far as I know the "kunai" reference is just a comparison to kunai made by fans. Much like calling Xemnas' blades "lightsabers" or Zexion's weapon a dictionary. It seems like we should just go with what's official... and mention that they are often called kunai by fans? How does that sound?

Seriously, her weapons look like they could be very-stylized knives or very-stylized kunai. I think you could safely call them either in this case, even if Nomura didn't exactly say the word "kunai". Besides, if you bring those into the real world, they're going to be pretty hard to use as either anyway ("Let me grab my...OW! ''All'' the ends are pointy!") | Seriously, her weapons look like they could be very-stylized knives or very-stylized kunai.

Oh, Trois is gonna have a field day when she gets back. | |||
{{TNE|blahtext=And a field day I'm going to have, indeed. I'd better get back to my books ! The rest of you, see [[Talk:Calment]] - because I have a feeling the spelling is wrong.}} | |||
Yeah. All of her weapons are French. But I wonder what they all look like, except for Eclair, that is Larxene's default. | |||
{{unbirthtalk|text=I just noticed that they were named in french. O_o | |||
A bit weird for me to find words in my language in articles about a japanese game, on an english wiki. | |||
I bet they won't change any of them in the french version.}} | |||
Yeah. Maybe the person who was Larxene came from France and her name was Arlene. But when she lost her heart Xemnas found her and became Larxene. That's my theory.[[User:Winxfan1|Winxfan1]] 20:18, 11 June 2009 (UTC)Winxfan1 | |||
{{unbirthtalk|text=France doesn't even exist in the KH universe, it wouldn't be logical. I agree about the name, it may be Arlène (in the french version, Larxène is written with an accent)}} | |||
Yeah. It was a theory as to why Larxene's weapon names were french.[[User:Winxfan1|Winxfan1]] 22:30, 11 June 2009 (UTC)Winxfan1 | |||
{{NinjaSheik|text=Actually, it kinda makes sense to me. I mean, if you ever read the Manga, you'll see Larxene reading a book called ''Marquis de Sade''. It was a book about a FRENCH sadist, rapist, and bunch of other things I forgot. If you think about, the book is in French and her weapons are in French, too! Put two and two together, and you get your answer!}} | |||
Well, that and "Larxene" just ''sounds'' French. If you read katakana it's even more French-sounding; the transliteration has a very French style.—[[User:Urutapu|Urutapu]] 23:00, 11 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
{{unbirthtalk|text=Actually, the ''Marquis de Sade'' was a writter (he really lived, but the book she was reading wasn't his), and the word "sadism" came from his name (and we all know that Larxene love to make suffer). I think they make Larxene related to France to use the "refined" image that come from it. | |||
Thanks God they haven't use it for Marluxia, and haven't make him the nth gay-looking-french-guy in a japanese series...}} | |||
{{KrytenKoro|She's probably from the Beast's Castle over-world - Belle's village, even.}} | |||
That could be a theory too.[[User:Winxfan1|Winxfan1]] 12:06, 12 June 2009 (UTC)Winxfan1 | |||
{{HarpieSirenTalk|text=Even though the world hasn't been shown yet she could be from Hunchback of Notre Dame's Paris. That world is just screwed up enough for Lar-Lar.}} | |||
{{unbirthtalk|text=I don't think an exclusive character like a member of the Organization could be from a Disney world, as far as we know all only-kh characters are from only-kh worlds.}} | |||
{{HarpieSirenTalk|text=*shrugs* That's probably true, but it's a cool thing to explore in fanfiction...}} | |||
{{TNE|happytext=@Unbirth : They definitely have to change [[Extirper]], ''parce que c'est un infinitif !'' | |||
@HarpieSiren : We wonder if she ever actually did come from there... She seems so UNHOLY for Notre-Dame | |||
@Urutapu : What would be more precisely French-sounding is when her name is spelt “Larxène” – that way, the pronunciation would be ラクゼヌ (''Rakuzenu''). | |||
Wait : @Unbirth – ''Rakusenu'' or ''Rakuzenu'' ?}} | |||
{{unbirthtalk|text=Personally I would prononce it "Rakusenu", and I think most french people are in the same case.}} | |||
{{TNE|remerciement=@Urutapu : ラクセヌ ''Rakusenu'' it is then.}} | |||
:Uh, her name is pronounced without the accent as far as I can tell. We have the real katakana right in the article, it should be "lark-seen" (''rakushīnu'')...and , actually, Larxene would probably fit in in ''Notre Dame''. Half the theme of the movie is "people being in the Church doesn't make them holy in the least".—[[User:Urutapu|Urutapu]] 22:08, 13 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
{{TNE|text=That's because the kana follows the English pronunciation, doesn't it ? ;-) Anyhow, you're quite right about the last bit. I've seen unholy people in church, 'nuff said.}} | |||
{{LyingMemories|time=[[User:Lying Memories|Lying Memories]] 07:55, February 11, 2010 (UTC)|text= ACTUALLY...... France CAN exist in the KH universe, for various various reasons. First off, the game is made using Disney movies as the background for most of the worlds. And last I checked, in 2007, we had a movie that takes place in France, distributed by Disney, called Ratatouille. Secondly, most of the worlds are based on real life places, i.e. Port Royal, The Land of Dragons, Pride Lands, Olympus Coliseum, etc. So you can't rule out her being from France. Oh and as a side note..... she is a sadistic bitchy little whore. and I'm only cursing just to give an accurate description of her. I usually don't curse on wikias where I'm unsure of whether it's taboo or not. | |||
EDIT 08:01, February 11, 2010 (UTC) OH wow I failed. I completely forgot about Hunchback of Notre Dame. That seems a lot more of a likely world then a movie about a rat chef, considering there's a lot of violence and dark undertones there. Perfect for her. How could I forget about one of my favorite movies? That's it..... I'm going to a corner to cry now T_T...... haha not really tho}}{{TNE|time=11:38, February 11, 2010 (UTC)|text=The Paris in Ratatouille would most likely come out. KH is almost entirely secular, and I don't think they'll add the spiritual bit with Notre Dame. Highly unlikely. Think, we can make wonders by switching the Ratatouille story a bit here, and a little more there... (That's what they did for most stories in KH1...)}} | |||
{{LyingMemories|time=[[User:Lying Memories|Lying Memories]] 18:59, February 11, 2010 (UTC)|text= But you can't deny the sheer epicness that would be accompanied in Notre Dame and just the thought of Judge Claude Frollo succumbing to the darkness and evil that's in his heart. I can definitely see him as being one of Maleficent's cohorts and commanding legions of Heartless. For a while, I thought that they would've put Notre Dame in BBS.}} | |||
{{LapisScarab|time=19:59, February 11, 2010 (UTC)|text=I'm actually surprised they haven't already included a Notre Dame world already. It's like it was taylor made for this series. Then again, it has significantly more mature themes than most other Disney movies, so maybe that's why.}} | |||
{{TNE|time=00:56, February 12, 2010 (UTC)|text=Yes, and on top of that, there is a conflict between the actual ending of the story and the poignancy of Victor Hugo's original. So imagine if they were to put it in, if mature themes are to be overlooked. If they ever switch it around, how is it going to end ? If it should end on a happy note, what is the entire definition of happy ? | |||
Notre Dame is indeed a difficult place to handle, and Ratatouille's Paris would suit the game in light of the themes brought in. | |||
''Mais pourquoi parlons-nous de la France et Ratatouille et Notre-Dame ?'' Bring us back to the connexion with Larxene !}} | |||
{{NinjaSheik|text=How about Beastle's Castle? If you remember from the movie, in has a little French in it.}} | |||
{{TNE|time=01:13, February 12, 2010 (UTC)|text=Beast's Castle has old French influence (pretty Loire-ish), no doubt ; but it was Xaldin's playground more than Larxene's.}} | |||
{{NinjaSheik|text=True.}} | |||
{{LyingMemories|time=[[User:Lying Memories|Lying Memories]] 03:07, February 12, 2010 (UTC)|text= Trois, I'm not really sure of what you're saying, 1) because I've never read the original Notre Dame, though I do know there are major major differences between it and the movie. 2) They could definitely end it on a happy note, just by using some stuff from the...... sequel. SOME stuff mind you, the sequel was horrible. It took away everything that was awesome in the first. The dark undertones and whatnot. But I'm sure that a KH version sequel would be 120X better than the actual sequel}} | |||
{{TNE|time=03:18, February 12, 2010 (UTC)|text=The original Notre Dame ends up in Esmeralda being hanged under Frollo's orders, and Quasimodo ultimately giving up his life to be by her side. *SPOILERS ENDED* | |||
