It mentions that he may be above Axel but definitely below Xemnas; going strictly by strength, Roxas is Xemnas' second-in-command! There's something wrong with that.

== Roxas Dual Wielding (Xion's Keyblade Not Ventus's) ==
(I get this from the promotional video with Roxas having 14 bars and Marluxia with 10 or 11 as third).[[User:Therequiembellishere|Therequiembellishere]] 22:53, 24 February 2007 (UTC)


{{iZerox|time=14:00, September 7, 2010 (UTC)|mad="This marks the start of where he gains his signature ability to dual-wield, as he awakens Ventus's Keyblade after her demise. The first time he uses them, it shows two Kingdom Keys, his and Ventus's, which quickly transform into the Oathkeeper and Oblivion."
:...Are you serious? The article only specifies that Roxas is stronger than Axel, but weaker than Xemnas. Beyond that is debatable. And health bars don't determine anything. [[User:DannyP|DannyP]] 23:34, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
::Again, going strictly by strength, it's strange that the newest and youngest is stronger than all the rest.[[User:Therequiembellishere|Therequiembellishere]] 20:55, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
:::It isn't strange. Roxas is the Nobody of Sora, who holds incredible strength. So why shouldn't Roxas hold incredible strength?
::::Because he's stonrger than Sora and Xemnas, while only existing a year. 14 bars isn't something he just got.[[User:Therequiembellishere|Therequiembellishere]] 20:32, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
:::::Okay, seriously, STOP basing strength based on something as trivial as health bars (and that video is months old. Things change in time). And nothing, and I mean nothing, implies that Roxas is stronger than either of them. He and Sora were evenly matched in their fight, and Xemnas is explicitly said to be the strongest. [[User:DannyP|DannyP]] 22:46, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
::::::Besides, gameplay stats may not be that indicative of plotline "strength", I mean, Xemnas in Final Mix was a secret boss and incredibly hard, and he was just "testing" Sora.  He looks much easier in KHII, but I doubt he grew significantly weaker during the time between.  Maybe Roxas has so many life bars because he's just late in the game.  '''''[[User:Scottch|<font color=#00cccc>Scott]]</font>[[User talk:Scottch|<font color=#ff9900>ch]]'''''</font> 06:12, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Nomura has said that the 3 strongest members of the Organization are Xemnas, Roxas, and Xaldin. End of story, and if you don't believe me, check Kh-Vids.net.
:I'm not sure that Xemnas is as strong as we thought, he was always a much easier boss than some of the members. However, it is possible that Nomura was refering to Xemnas as you fight him at the very end of the game. In terms of pure strength i would have to assume that Roxas is stronger than Xemnas and only surpassed by Xaldin and perhaps Lexaeus. Xemnas' strength was always his incredible defensive powers and range of attacks, i think that Roxas' stats are better than Xemnas'. However if they ever fought I think Xemnas' cunning and experiance would give him the edge.


Where has it ever been stated officially that the second keyblade was Ventus's keyblade. It doesn't even make sense to me considering that when Roxas is running towards Riku and is compelled to toss they keyblade to Riku, Riku starts to have flash backs of memories of Xion because he came in contact with the keyblade. And the fact that Roxas couldn't dual wield until Xion had faded away only seems to indicate to me that he was using hers. Xion may have been a copy created from memories but she was real just as much as Roxas was physically. I believe the same applies to their keyblades as well, you can't kill heartless with an imaginary weapon that doesn't exist physically. It only makes sense to me that Xion's keyblade was passed to him, after all she could wield his keyblade what would be the reasoning for him not being able to wield hers? All this seems to highly indicate that it would be her keyblade he wields and nothing to do with Ventus. }}
Techniqually, Roxas would have to be better than Xemnas. I mean, he's the only member to beating both Sora and Riku. Sora just won because he new more about the Keyblade, and he undeniably beat Riku, Ansem and the Guardian are a totally different person than Riku. And since Sora and Riku ONLY together beat Xemnas, than that automatically makes Roxas the best, after all, he is the last surviving member, even after fighting Sora. -- Morghman

I think we should add something to Roxas' stay at the real Twilight Town, where he befriended Axel. Didn't Roxas become friends with Hayner, Pence, and Olette in the real Twilight as well? That would explain the three friends' somewhat friendly connection with Sora. See how they looked so bummed out when Sora first met them? Maybe Roxas had spent some time with them, and somehow left Twilight Town without notice to join Organization XIII. That would probably explain Hayner's initial unfriendly attitude towards Sora's gang when they first arrived. I don't think that this is theory, as this was hinted at in the Reverse/Rebirth ending (after the credits) of Re: Chain of Memories.--[[User:Zhengyingli|Zhengyingli]] 05:07, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
:I agree.  This is the only explanation that makes sense to me.  Sora cried when he left Twilight Town because Roxas was sad to leave, but it makes no sense to Hayner and the others to "feel like" they had to see him off if they never met Roxas.  The new scene with Axel and Roxas on the clock tower implies that Roxas met the real Hayner, Pence, and Olette on his first day (the same day he got his name and met Axel).  Otherwise I don't understand their familiarity with Sora. --[[User:Zephyrus11|Zephyrus11]] 20:29, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

To the user who changed the instances of Roxas defeating Riku to "stalemate," I understand where you're coming from, but he really did defeat him.  Roxas even states later "I defeated a Riku once."  I agree that Riku wasn't completely beaten, he wasn't dead or anything, but Roxas had won.  If you want to discuss it any further just let me know here.  Thanks. --[[User:Zephyrus11|Zephyrus11]] 08:12, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


Why do you guys keep bringing up the promotional artwork of Roxas where he apparently looks "older"? I don't see anything to suggest that he is in anyway older looking or anything. It's just the way he is drawn and the angle that he is at, and I've asked other people who said they don't see any difference either. He doesn't look any different so why do you guys keep adding it?{{unsigned|68.96.198.72}}
:Because it's blinking obvious that he looks older. Ventus is right there in the same artwork - this Roxas has a more pronounced chin, a more muscular chest, a longer neck, a larger adam's apple - everything to suggest he is Axel's age.[[User:KrytenKoro|<small>Glorious</small>]] [[User_talk:KrytenKoro|<small>CHAOS!</small>]] 22:32, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
:No, it's not. He doesn't look any older. It's the way he is drawn. I am an artist myself, and I know if you draw something at a certain angle, then the subject will look different than it would at another angle. His chin looks more pronounced? No, it simply looks like he's tilt his head up and to the side slightly, as is obviously meant to be the case. Those aren't muscles, those are his collar bones. Necks look long depending on the way you look at them. All that you've given me is stuff cannot irrefutably be given as evidence that Roxas looks older than he actually is.{{unsigned|68.96.198.72}}
::Ventus's chin slopes back - Roxas's juts forward.
::His hand looks to fill the entire guard of the Kingdom Key, when it usually leaves a lot of empty space
::He has a muscle jutting out in his neck, and it is noticeably longer compared to how it looks in other images (ex: :File:KH Days trio.jpg)
::His hair juts back instead of forward, and follows his neck all the way down to his shoulders, rather than projecting.
::Yes, those are his collarbones, but his actual chest is more prounced - again, compare it to the trio image. You usually can't even ''see'' his collarbone, because he has a smooth chest.
::This is a very rough approximation, but the length of his Keyblade, it looks like it only compares from the top of his head to midway down his chest. In his other images, it goes down to about his waist.
::Maybe he's just drawn using elements from the other Organization members in that image, but he just doesn't look like the young little shorty he usually does. But it just doesn't look like him.[[User:KrytenKoro|<small>Glorious</small>]] [[User_talk:KrytenKoro|<small>CHAOS!</small>]] 13:24, September 26, 2010 (UTC)
:::That doesn't mean he's supposed to look older, it's a just coincidence if he does. It's nothing worth noting, and that's what I'm trying to get across. Obviously Tetsuya Nomura tried to draw Roxas different to distinguish him from Ventus, seeing as at the time everyone was still convinced that Ventus was Roxas.{{unsigned|68.96.198.72}}

::::Yes, but that doesn't make him older, just different.


Yeah, it makes him look older, but this looks like a case of bad artwork more than anything else<!--I've seen fanart better than that-->.

Well, if I recall correctly, Riku did defeat Roxas. After the Nobody knocks him on the floor, Riku asks why did he end up with the keyblade. After Roxas answers "Shut up" and Riku quickly knock him down, we clearly know what happens.
:If it is just a case of bad artwork, then I don't understand even more why it's even important to mention it. Especially since there are probably better trivia to put in than that artwork.

Truthfully, I don't really care that much about that picture, but I don't see what the point of putting that link to the puzzle mechanic from KHII Final Mix was.

{{17m|text= and the format, some articles have "Abilities" while some have "Fighting Style"}}
They can't be related as Roxas isn't a real person, i think what you ment is that Sora and Ven are related. Anyway my theory is that Sora had a significant encounter with Ven making his nobody loook like Ven, isn't there some connection between nobodies and memories?[[User:Myself 123|'''<font color="scarlet">Myself 123</font>''']] 20:58, 3 January 2009 (UTC)


== Anagrams ==
I have to agree with Myself. Roxas is a nobody, and unless memories have to do with a Nobodies creation, which it partly does, then my guess is that Ven is Sora's father. After all Ventus is Latin for wind, and Sora is Japanese for sky. The genes in Ven may have affected the appearance of Roxas. I think the same is for Aqua & Kairi, and Riku & Terra. Aqua seems to wear royal-like clothes, and Kairi is a princess, sorry for getting off topic, but anyways, Ven is probably Sora's dad. My guess -- Morghman


Is it worth metioning that Roxas is an anagram of Sora, with the trademake X of the Orginisation added in. He seems to be the only member like that and I think its purposeful, although I am not sure if Xemnas or who ever picked his name that he was Sora's nobody.
{{TNE|text=I don't think so. If Ven were Sora's dad and if he, Sora, Riku and Ven did have an encounter in Destiny Islands, it wouldn't have been so profound. I mean, imagine seeing the same face and the same Keyblade every day - almost. There'd be a significant difference between that and seeing a hero from a far-away land... right ?

Gay? Roxas is supposed to be "somebody dating" (my word for Roxas and Namine's relationship), with Namine after KHII, and Axel seems to be pretty tight with Larxene, too. Whoever came up with Axel and Roxas together thing is probably a 7-year-old wanting attention.-- Morghman

Just because he says "he" doesn't necessarily mean that he's not talking about the Keyblade.  I know that most languages besides English use gender-specific articles on all nouns, and that would likely include the Keyblade if Japanese does that as well. {{User:RoxasNobody/sig}}
:It doesn't, at least not in that way. And nothing ever indicates that the Keyblade "chose" Sora. It's unlikely to be Ansem, since he was a blatant racist, so Roxas would know exactly why Ansem picked Sora, and Roxas hated Ansem anyway. It's probably Axel, though - the Organization specifically state that the episode is due to Axel's sacrifice reawakening Roxas within Sora's heart. It's probably due to Axel sacrificing himself for Sora, rather than going forward with his plan to retrieve Roxas out of Sora.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 23:14, February 7, 2011 (UTC)

@Kryten: Ansem could have not wanted Roxas to defeat Xemnas because he doesn't think Roxas's heart is strong enough, same as Xion did. I ''do'' see that it might not mean Ansem, since it could be Axel as well.

==About Roxas' original name==
{{KrytenKoro|...It's funny, because ''as Nobodies'', it's not even possible for them to be ''heterosexual''. They are completely and ''totally'' asexual, like sponges. Did none of these fangirls even pay attention during the bloody game?
For those editing Roxas's Infobox, do remember that Xemnas used Sora's name to rename the Nobody, not Ventus's. So as to keep the fact that Xemnas named that "Ventus" that way, I edited the Infobox with the Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and II Final Mix factual info. And to anyone who delete that bit of true info (which no way the admins I respect will do) are the ones who never played KH358/2 Days before and see the near ending of the opening.

== Good or Bad? ==
Okay I can't decide if Roxas is good or bad. I mean, he's part of the universe's most evil organization, and he attacked Sora at the Station of Awakening. Yet at the same time, he betrayed the Organization after a year of helping them, and talked friendly with Sora. He and Axel baffle me greatly. Any ideas on Roxas's loyalty? -- Morghman


Geez, we need start sourcing these things on the spot. Trying to find the Ultimania interviews are a pain. But I think I found the on you were referring to. [http://www.khinsider.com/news/358-2-Days-Scenario-Interview-894 It's this one, right?] Nomura-sensei is asked, "When Roxas tries to do what Xion has asked of him, Riku hears Xion's voice asking him to stop Roxas. Why?"
well the twilight town roxas seems like a nice guy but we really can't say much until Days


The answer he gives is: "First he have to look at things in order. First, the reason why Roxas throws a Keyblade to Riku, and we then see a vision of Xion, is that there is a small remaining part of Xion in Roxas that wants to stop him, and makes him take those actions. The name of the Keyblade that is given to Riku suggests that it has something to do with Xion. Xion wants Roxas to set Kingdom Hearts free, but doesn't want him to face Xemnas right now. She sees that he would most likely lose. So she begs Riku to stop him."--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 23:06, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

:::Luckily I had my 3DS with KH3D in it when I read your post.
:::Xemnas: "''A heart is never lost for good.''", "''Once born, the heart can also be nurtured. Our experiments creating Heartless were attempts to control the mind, and convince it to renounce its sense of self. But understand, one can banish the heart from the body, but the body will try to replace it the first chance it gets, for as many times as it takes. And so I knew, even after we were divided into Heartless and Nobodies, it was just a temporary seperation.''".
:::Data-Ansem the Wise: "''The heart has always been quick to grow. Each exposure to light, to the natural world, to other people, shapes this most malleable part inside of us. Nobodies are not different from us in that manner.''".
:::Also, maybe go with something like "Due to having Ventus's heart inside of him when he was born, Roxas possessed the inate ability to feel emotions." or something. Use "inate" though, I think that'd help. [[User:Rex Ronald Rilander|Rex Ronald Rilander]] ([[User talk:Rex Ronald Rilander|talk]]) 04:55, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
::::Definitely the point is using innate, and possibly "unique". The question Nomura was answering was why Roxas felt emotions ''from the beginning'', and had a unique personality, and didn't develop mannerisms based on his original self over time like the other Nobodies. The anon was misunderstanding that distinction, and yeah, the section can be reworded to be clearer about what it's trying to communicate:
*Roxas started off with strong, non-Sora-based (and non-Xehanort-based!) emotions from his creation. This is due to possessing Ventus's heart.
*Nobodies recover their emotions over time anyway. This is due to regrowing a heart via connections with others (basically, everything in the KH universe is a {{w|bakemono}}).{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 15:58, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

==Promotional Artwork - Older Roxas?==
This isn't the first time this conversation got brought up between two users or more (e.g. The picture in the trivia section"), so let's settled this once and for all civilly instead of edit warring. User 71.222.103.177 and KrytenKoro (and maybe a couple more users) have been having this edit war about the promotional artwork where Roxas depicted looking older from how Nomura-sensei typically draws him. Take a look at the old debate and the points addressed. I agree that Roxas does look older, having more mature features as listed in the old debate. And aside from that, the placement of where that info belongs to was brought up, and I think it should belong in the Trivia section instead in the main body of the article.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 18:06, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
:I'm in agreement with Ninja on this one. It's not related to any of the "meat" of the article, it's not ultimately related to the games. His actual appearance drawn before and after is not at all in line with this one, so it doesn't make sense to pretend it was some sort of "early concept art" or anything. Just a random drawing, Nomura choosing to make him out older than usual for no apparent reason. At best, it belongs in Trivia. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 18:16, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
::Reading the previous discussion and the comments of the current users involved, both sides make good points. I'm no artist, but whether Roxas looks older or not, whether it was unintentional or intentional on Nomura-sensei's part, is unknown, and as an encyclopedia, we need to remain objective as possible. We need to revisit the topic if the artwork itself is noteworthy to be mentioned at all?--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 18:38, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
:::This really is all anyone against the inclusion of it is saying. It doesn't work because there's nowhere in any related media suggesting it was ever a thing and I don't understand why it's been a bigger issue than it needs to be. Sometimes a person is drawn off model or different then usual, it doesn't mean it's necessarily something meaningful. The reason I proposed, though, to make it a Trivia entry is because it best fits there. And I'm perfectly willing to just let it stay there, because some people really like the information for reasons I don't understand. To me, as an artist myself, it really does seem like a non-issue, but clearly plenty of people think otherwise. When I went to delete it the first time, I legitimately didn't realize that it was a bigger issue and that people were deleting and then re-adding it, so I didn't mean to start an edit war or add into one. It was only when I actually got a message from the person pretty much saying "no, you're wrong" that I got irritable. However, I will stand by that it doesn't belong in the main body of the article and if it stays there, that's good enough for me.---71.222.103.177 18:46 3 August 2019 (UTC)

:::It's not trivia because it's covering his appearance in officially published material. The design section is the correct location for that. The design section is not required to focus solely on the games, or the "canon depiction". It's meant for the topic overall, which ''does'' include information about the out-universe design process, marketing decisions, and depictions in non-game material. We are not wikipedia. "Notability" is not a requirement, citability and accuracy are.
:::This issue isn't about "liking" or "not liking" information, this is about following wiki policy-- and it's inappropriate behavior to frame a discussion about article content in that manner in the first place. If you are framing a discussion based on what somebody "wants" rather than what policies and consensus ''dictate'', you have lost the plot. In addition, if you don't want to start an edit war, don't push your edits after they've been reverted, unless you've achieved policy-coherent consensus.
:::Neither the discussion nor the article ever claimed there was some deeper significance to the distinction, and it's not required for there to be any deeper significance in order to be in the article in the first place. All that's necessary is that it be accurate, demonstrable, and a published part of the franchise -- and it is: Roxas is drawn differently from Ventus, which is unusual, in a major piece of artwork used to publicize three different games. It does not matter how he was depicted in other games -- what matters is that in this artwork he is noticeably off-model. As a reminder, [[Kingdom Hearts The Story So Far]] includes coverage of a ''smudge'', much more clearly accidental than the drawing of an entire, control-arted character.
:::Xehanort on 2.5 cover, or Goofy-Riku and Donald-Kairi in KHUX, are absolutely fair game to be covered on the wiki, specifically in design sections, as Key Arts ''are official parts of the franchise'' (and for what it's worth, have frequently appeared within the games themselves). The design and origin sections are both ones in which we cover the topics from an ''out of universe'' viewpoint, which means including information that would not be part of the "inner truth" within the setting.
:::As a reminder to all the recurring editors involved: long-standing wiki-policy is that information should not be placed in trivia unless absolutely necessary. If a relevant section on the article ''can'' be found, the info ''must'' be placed there. Information about the design of a character in a piece of official material falls under the Design header, ergo it is a violation of policy to move the material to the Trivia section -- as I've explained several times, including directly to the IP. Policy is also that in the event of an edit war, the article should be reverted to its ''pre''-edit war state, and that consensus should be derived based on wiki ''policies'', not on personal preferences. It's pretty troubling that this issue has even gotten to this point, as there are a multitude of wiki policies that should have been followed preventing this, and that the previous consensus discussed earlier in the article, with clear references to wiki policy by trusted users, appears to have been wholly ignored.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 12:37, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
::::No policy, no matter what how old it is or how significant it may have once been, should trump the consensus reached by the community in the present day. The Kingdom Hearts Wiki is written and run by its editors and contributors, not its policies and procedures.
::::Having said that, you've cited many different policies in your argument, and have explicitly called the staff out for failing to uphold them in favor of a "non-consensus-demonstrated version" of the page. So I'll bite. Your post (including your [https://www.khwiki.com/index.php?title=Talk%3ARoxas&type=revision&diff=784326&oldid=784288 previous post, which you significantly altered and removed content from], in violation of [[Help:New user guide#Article_Talk_Pages|site policies]]) boils down to at least four matters of policy: what qualifies as trivia, what the "Appearance" section of a character article's page covers, whether there is a policy on notability, and what the Kingdom Hearts Wiki's scope covers. I throw in here my once-a-year-or-more plug that, because many of our policies are not written down somewhere easily-findable, we ought to do something to make them more easily referenceable so that new editors can become familiar with them, rather than belittle them when they make repeated edits that violate a heretofore unfindable policy.
::::'''What qualifies as trivia?''': Only the [[KHWiki:Manual of Style#Trivia|Manual of Style]] defines trivia. It is defined as "information that is not significant or vital to either the game or gameplay, does not fit in other places of the article, and is of interest to note. Examples include seemingly unintentional recurrences, real-world references, or seemingly unintentional but marked similarities between two subjects. Trivia must be true and verified; neither speculation nor opinion-based conjectures are trivia." It's also of interest, in my search today through the wiki archives (for which I'm now very dusty, thank you), that [[Forum:Wiki Improvement|you once defined trivia]] as "notable oddities and uniqueness, as well as purposeful references". Whether this artwork counts as trivia is up for debate: it is not vital or significant to either the game or gameplay, and it is odd and unique. But it could potentially fit in another place in the article, namely, the "Appearance section.
::::'''What does the "Appearance" section cover?''': Again, we refer to the Manual of Style, which states: "Explain the character's physical appearance". Pretty straight forward. This would be considered describing Roxas's physical appearance in a single piece of artwork.
::::'''What is the policy on notability?''': Fact is, we don't have one. ''However'', several previous discussions cite notability as a limit for coverage, including that earlier quote of yours. Fact is, though there is no official policy that limits the wiki to notability, we do in fact limit the wiki's coverage and content to notable information. I should point out that comparing the significance of a piece of art to the significance of enemy articles (the latter of which are prescribed, per the Manual of Style) is a false equivalency. That's like saying that because Sora has an article, so, too, should Sora's raft from the first game. Of note, the Manual of Style uses the terms "minor" and "insignificant" to identify items that should ''not'' have their own page. Additionally, you employ the same concept of notability in determining whether content should allow to remain on a page, as seen [https://www.khwiki.com/index.php?title=3D_Shooting&diff=745459&oldid=745427 here]. So clearly, while there's no explicit rule about notability or significance to determine coverage, the concept of such a limit is certainly employed throughout the wiki (see multiple discussions seen [https://www.khwiki.com/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=20&offset=0&ns4=1&ns5=1&ns110=1&search=notable here])
::::'''What is the scope or coverage of the wiki?''': [[KHWiki:About|The About page]] states that we "document all things related to Kingdom Hearts, from elements of storyline to gameplay." TheFifteenthMember once said we are the "most comprehensive database and [we aim] to document almost everything ''Kingdom Hearts''" the last time we officially considered our coverage. I suggested, as a result of your own feedback to updates to the Manual of Style in 2017, that we should have a discussion on "how broad we want our coverage on the wiki to be and come to a consensus on that", but we never did. Still something we ought to consider. While it certainly seems like we have a huge breadth and depth to what we cover, it's clear that there are limits on what information warrants a place on the wiki and what information does not, no matter if all of it is official or not. Previously mentioned as a limit is the concept of notability. Another limit pertinent to this discussion is the one found in the Manual of Style for Character pages, where it states that "Coverage in an article should focus on appearance in the Kingdom Hearts series." I frankly doubt that a particular artwork, no matter how official, counts as being an appearance in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series in the spirit of this sentence.
::::None of the other things you cite, like policies on edit-war procedures, viewpoints to be taken in Appearance and Origin sections, or the procedure for justifying trivia, are to be found on the Kingdom Hearts Wiki. I checked. Frankly, for all I know, you're pulling them out of your butt, but I'm sure they were part of a discussion at some point sometime ago. Again, I push my belief that we should have such policies and procedures more easily findable rather than in the memory of whoever was there at the time and is still here today, a group that is getting increasingly small. In any case, you know what is in the policies, though, aside from the ones I already cited? This: "Should exceptions occur [to the Manual of Style], these should be discussed in the article's talk page." In other words, even if your points ''were'' in the Manual of Style or some other agreed-upon consensus, the process of discussing them on the article's talk page and reaching a consensus as a community has been carried out. With the exception of your post, the decision was reached with unanimous consent. I think we've upheld the most important policies of allowing the community's voice to determine what and how a topic should be covered on this site, how this site is to be run. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 23:45, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
:::::Aside from the points that KSM addressed, which I agree with, Kryten, you need to drop the attitude. It's true that while you're the user on the wiki with the most seniority aside from Neumannz, you have a very long history of resorting to insults and being hypocritical in your arguments whenever something doesn't go your way. Despite being a long-time editor here, you constantly engage in heated debates instead of defusing the situation and display disrespectful behavior towards others. Telling someone "okay, well with all due respect, your opinion is wrong" is not appropriate since we advocate to keep things civil and professional, and does not give an impression that you open to dialogue but rather forcing your own rules onto the community. Using shaming tactics to guilt the editors for not living up to ''your'' expectations and ideas of the rules are like instead of what they actually are is insulting. I advise you to watch your tone and understand that policies/rules change over time, and that is something we need to decide as a community. I agree that we should revise our MoS and make things a lot more explicit as KSM recommended.

::::::"The Kingdom Hearts Wiki is written and run by its editors and contributors, not its policies and procedures." -- that consensus consists of more than four editors and an anon over a weekend.
::::::"which you significantly altered and removed content from, in violation of site policies" -- that refers to altering ''other editors' posts'', not rephrasing your own content. I rephrased what I had written, without removing any of the actual meaning, in order to deescalate.
::::::"I throw in here my once-a-year-or-more plug that, because many of our policies are not written down somewhere easily-findable, we ought to do something to make them more easily referenceable so that new editors can become familiar with them, rather than belittle them when they make repeated edits that violate a heretofore unfindable policy." -- I am not staff. I have experience and memory, but it is the ''staff's'' responsibility to codify and concentrate the wiki policies if they feel they are not suitably publicized. You are staff. You have full ability to update the MoS with said policies, or open up a forum on whether they should be obsoleted. That being said:
*The policy I referred to regarding what counts as trivia is already in the MoS.
*The definition of the Appearance section is already in the MoS.
*The lack of a notability requirement is inherent in there ''not being a stated requirement for notability'', as well as stating that we cover everything that is an official part of the franchise.
*The scope is already in the About page.
*The edit war policy is already on the vandalism policy page (i.e., discussion ''before'' controversial change to existing state of article). In addition, the wider wiki community policy on edit warring is covered [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_warring here], which we base a lot of our behavioral policies on.
*The out-universe nature of Appearance and Origin sections is displayed in the [[KHWiki:Project_Items|consensus formats]], as called out in the edit window every time you edit a mainspace article.
*The move-trivia-at-all-costs explicit policy is covered on the trivia template, [[Forum:Glorious trivia cleansing|here]] and in the previous version of the MoS. Granted, it looks like you revised the MoS in 2017 to remove that rule. It looks to me like no one caught that, as it's not discussed at all on the talk page, but granted it could have been something everyone else saw and agreed with and just failed to call out, so I've opened a thread on the MoS talk page to confirm that. However, it ''was'' a longstanding rule of the wiki that you personally rewrote, so I most definitely did not make it up.
::::::So I really don't get where you're basing the accusation that I belittled anyone for things that are "unfindable".
::::::"That's like saying that because Sora has an article, so, too, should Sora's raft from the first game." -- [[Highwind (raft)]]
::::::"I frankly doubt that a particular artwork, no matter how official, counts as being an appearance in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series in the spirit of this sentence." -- This is not correct. The wiki's scope has long been agreed to include all pieces of the series, including the Key Arts. That's why we have articles on the toys, the manga chapters, the novels, and even the facebook minigames. That's why we cover Key Arts to begin with. The community has for ages agreed that we cover ''everything'', and if you want to change that, you owe the community far more than your own four-person discussion over a weekend. (to be clear -- moving the image to the gallery falls within policy. ''Removing the notation entirely'' is not justified or required by policy, and therefore a new evaluation of the ''existing'' discussion, either relying on existing policy or reaching out to the wider community to ensure that the obsoletion/deviation from policy is consented to, should be sought. To that end: '''I'm on board with moving the image to the gallery, and I would even be in agreement with moving coverage of non-canon depictions to the gallery in a general sense. But it is still completely valid commentary to note that the depiction is nonstandard, and in fact our own caption policy behooves us to give more prose justification to the image's existence on our servers beyond "this exists". Gallery pages should not be treated simply as image folders, they should still contain commentary.''')
::::::"the process of discussing them on the article's talk page and reaching a consensus as a community has been carried out. " -- no. It hasn't. They were performed (by performing a revert war), and ''then'' discussed ("However, when it is apparent that an edit war may take place, immediately suggest the use of the article's talk page, and avoid editing the article itself."). And it was performed between four editors and an anon, over the course of ''two days'', without dealing with the points raised in the previous discussion on the matter, or seeking comment from the editors involved in the previous discussion, or even ''the other party in the dispute''.
:::::::"being hypocritical in your arguments whenever something doesn't go your way" -- I'm going to ask you to either provide evidence or retract that, because I have ''personally requested'' to be banned from the wiki or had my staff powers revoked when I saw that the wiki policies disagreed with my actions. I have had people literally follow me around the web harassing me or speaking ill of me because I stood up for ''you personally'', NinjaSheik, even when I disagreed with what you were saying.
::::::"the majority of users here" -- ...the four editors and anon over a weekend, in ''this specific conversation thread alone'' ('''''not''''' including the viewpoints expressed by other editors higher up in the page) agreed. And did so without seeking a response from the other party in the dispute.
::::::'''I want to make sure I fully understand what you are saying: are you saying that we can disregard or throw out previous decisions and policies based on a discussion between four editors over a weekend in which the other party in the dispute isn't even asked for a response?''' Is this correct?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 12:56, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
<big><big>'''Guys!'''</big></big> Pause. What the actual hell? If I get a warning/banned/whatever for this, so be it. Seriously though. What the actual hell? This supposed-to-be discussion has turned into such a cesspool and mess that the original issue is lost. Before I get to that, and I'm so inactive what I think/say/do/did probably doesn't mean a damn (which is fine, because ''I AM'' inactive/old/outdated/"you-kids-get-off-my-lawn"), but I'm really disappointed. ...And I'll just sum it up with that. But, seriously. I don't know whether to be disappointed or ticked off with you guys. And THAT hurts and sucks. Ridiculous.


Regarding trivia: We spent a long time getting rid of trivia sections and incorporating them into the article a long time ago, mainly because we deemed it better to have in the appropriate main sections instead of tacked onto the end. In truth, the literal definition of trivia is common sense enough to merit what should be in that section...'''except''' this now creates a problem- which lead to the mess we're in now. It talks about appearance (which means it goes in the appearance section), but it's also an irrelevant/"cool" tid-bit (which means it goes in trivia)? What TSH has proposed is a fine compromise. The image deserves to exist on the article somewhere/in some namespace because it is a published piece on something related to ''Kingdom Hearts''. In my opinion, it belongs either in a gallery (to compromise) or be incorporated into the appearance section (if we agree that published/confirmed artwork counts in this realm), but definitely not trivia because it can be added somewhere else that makes more sense- ''it has more value.'' THIS is what we should be discussing.
I am only saying that he gained their obedience AFTER the rest of the organization members had died. Saix and Axel at the least have shown to be able to control the dusks so we know control of those are not limited to one member. Roxas would have no reason to summon dusks  to hold back Donald and Goofy because he had the more powerful samurai to use. Lesser nobodies naturally obey strogner nobodies, seen as in how even the Twilight Thorn is able to summon creppers. The organization as a whole has more strength than any single nobody (ie, Axel) which is why they are able to turn Axel's Assassins against him. But with the rest of the organization gone, the strongest nobody 'left' would be Roxas. If he chose to he would have their obedience, but he is likely not aware of this fact. Also, Roxas did not actually leave Sora's body to fight him, their fight was purely mental.


My biggest issue is how this wasn't discussed or handled properly. No one created a forum post. No one started tagging on user talk pages. No one started tagging on Discord until it became the ridiculous mess it is now. If you tag people and they don't respond in the agreed upon or mentioned/respectable amount of time, then fine. Because then you can say "I tried, they didn't respond." We do all of this for two main reasons: 1) So we give people [the community] time to think and then respond, and 2) Cover our asses. However, when you fail to do this, this does not mean this is the set-in-stone, confirmed, we're doing it. You need more people for that. If they don't respond, then that's a different story. La-ti-da to them. Even when more people tag in on this, it doesn't make it set-in-stone, permanent for all time either...because we're a Wiki and people and times change! Which is fine!
''The organization as a whole has more strength than any single nobody (ie, Axel) which is why they are able to turn Axel's Assassins against him.''


However, going about it how this issue was handled was unprofessional and immature on everyone- and, as a staff member, I'm more embarrassed not because we're trying to figure this out, but how people went about voicing their opposition/thoughts. Especially other staff members.

Regarding policies of all kinds (behavior, edit warring, editing, etc.): Most of those are unwritten things assumed to be known by most people. I got in trouble with this a lot when I was first starting- didn't have a clue until I asked older staff members/users and they redirected me to Wikipedia policies, old discussions, etc. I am in complete agreement of formally writing up a central page linking Wiki-behavior. The MoS is for articles, do those revisions/discussions on there/on the forums. Hell, BebopKate is the one who pushed writing out [[KHWiki:Administrators|what/who administrators and staff members are]] because we were having so many problems with non-staff vs staff arguments/who qualifies as staff/what does staff have the power to do and not to do/etc. So...'''Let's do it!''' Someone start drafting, post it on a forum, recruit other people to help, keep drafting, spam people that forum for improvements/discussion, let's revise, let's confirm, let's publish it- '''let's do it!'''
{{TNE|blahtext=''Mon cher anonyme'', do you reasonably '''think''' that the lesser Nobodies would ever pledge allegiance to a '''renegade''' like <s>Roxas</s> Sora ? Think : prior to Saix's, Xigbar's and Luxord's defeat, they could've commanded the lesser Nobodies to go against Sora (or, if the reverse were true, then there'd be no point defeating that stream of Nobodies beyond the Proof of Existence).}}
:Kaihedgie, Assassins show up in Betwixt and Between. Again, 72, FOUR HIGH-RANKING MEMBERS WERE STILL ALIVE DURING THE BATTLE WITH ROXAS. It's not just that you're making an empty argument, you're using BLATANT UNTRUTHS.
:Being able to control Nobodies that aren't yours (Dusks) certainly shows way more control than just being able to control your own.
:Saying "The fight was purely mental" makes your argument even more illogical. Why would Sora's hallucination prove that Roxas can control all Nobodies?[[Special:Contributions/98.223.230.49|98.223.230.49]] 03:11, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


These passionate arguments about feelings and personal attacks on people are over. Not because we're not the Jerry Springer show, but that they're counterproductive to everyone and a waste of time. In truth, we should copy this discussion onto a forum and continue it there. Not because Xion4ever says so, because she is both literally and figuratively a [[Nobody]], but that this is becoming more wordy and sidetracked than we want on this talk page. If/when that happens, someone needs to post the link to said forum here so future people know where to go/what happened. The part on what warrants the trivia section needs discussed on the MoS talkpage that Kryten opened. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 19:07, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

== All these years since KH2, but just noticed this. ==
Soras hallucination? it was more than that, i only said the fight was mental, Donald and Goofy had to fight the summoned nobodies as they said, but did not see Roxas. I dont understand why you keep referencing to the four members being alive during the battle when ive said this could only be possible after all the other organization members have died. There is no organization left so there is no real 'renegade'.
This is way off subject, but ive always wondered, why did Axel seem so tired when he allied with Sora in Betwixt and Between? he stops every few attacks to pant with exhaustion.


Has anyone made note of Roxas's idle model. Unlike Ventus or Sora, who stand perfectly semetrical, Roxas does not. Pay close attention. Roxas's left foot is always to his side, just a bit. And his posture is slightly tilted to the left as well. The only time Roxas stands balanced is when wielding keyblades.

== Abilities ==
That means, your comment itself (on Roxas controlling the lesser Nobodies) is non-sequitur.


Shouldn't there be a note that unlike Sora, who has constantly had his powers reset, Roxas has not; thus his combat skills represent what Sora could be if he retained all his abilities from the other games. It explains why he is so powerful in Kingdom Hearts 3. Since Roxas never lost his powers, only the memory of how to use them, logically doesn't this mean he's more power up than Sora?([[Special:Contributions/174.197.0.88|174.197.0.88]] 08:40, 1 December 2019 (UTC))
And, as for Axel, think : he was hit by several Dusks and chances are that he may have fought against them for a while (when he comes in with his chakrams and tells Sora to run).}}
:Besides the Keyblade, Roxas doesn't really borrow powers/abilities from Sora so I wouldn't say that Roxas is just Sora if Sora never got his power reset. As for if Roxas is more powerful than Sora, that's up to interpretation more than anything (unless nomura outright states that he is in which case that'd be noteworthy) but that goes for power levels in general. Is Donald Duck more powerful than Terra-Xehanort and X-Blade Master Xehanort because he can use Zettaflare and fire an über friendship laser? I don't know but since it's not a set-in-stone fact whether he is or not I couldn't really put it on a wiki page as if it were.

== Roxas on Destiny Islands ==


In Days, there's a shot of Roxas leaving the Destiny Islands through a Corridor of Darkness after Xion passes out in Riku's arms (https://youtu.be/mY6kflxFbek?t=5885), but it's not mentioned on his page. Shouldn't it be added? I know what we thought was Roxas at first was really Xion, but I'm pretty sure he was there too, considering we see him leave, and then he tells Axel in the scene afterward he visited the beach. --[[File:Riku Sprite KHD.png]] [[User:Mikoto|mikoto]] 02:40, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
There is no organization left, so there is no other power for the nobodies to listen to. The point is really that the twilight thorn can also control nobodies and it was the strongest nobody besides those in the organization. So, it is not just the organization  that can control a few lesser nobodies, all it has to be is a powerful nobody.
 
Another off subject question. Nobodies are left if a person who turns into a heartless has a 'strong heart'. The Keyblade can only be wielded by those with a 'strong heart'. what makes a heart strong?

{{TNE|blahtext=@''anonyme'' : What KrytenKoro said.
 
And in response to your off-subject question, we all think it is the will in one's heart. The same will in one's heart determines his alignment (Light or Darkness), how powerful the Heartless/Nobody is, and whether he actually retains his human form in both cases.}}
and how many times must i say, im talking about AFTER they are all dead. AFTER the rest of the organization is dead and GONE
{{KrytenKoro|If you want to take that tack...after the rest of the Organization disappeared, ''not a single Nobody appeared''. Not Organization members, not low-rank Nobodies. So a much more logical conclusion would be that Xemnas' disappearance allowed the Nobodies to recombine with their hearts as they naturally would - and this in fact has director backing, as  Nomura said that Nobodies will automatically reunite with their hearts when "killed", and will naturally seek to do the same even when alive. Furthermore, this would exactly parallel the end of the first Kingdom Hearts, and would reinforce what happened to Namine and Roxas.
 
Again and again, your claim doesn't make that least bit of sense. It contradicts every single bit of plot that we've been given.}}
 
(hi I'm a different, and smarter anon)his point was that after the rest of the organzation was dead (bye Xigbar,Luxord,Saix, and Xemnas bye bye) Roxas,as the only one left, would have control over all remaining nobodies(and kryten koro, after Xemnas' final defeat a bunch of dusks appear in the final boss arena and try to make sure sora and riku don't get to leave)
 
{{TNE|blahtext=So much for your smartness : Roxas had already fused with Sora willingly at that point to defeat Xemnas ; how can Sora (in Roxas' mind) summon those Nobodies ?}}
 
==Tell me why he picked you==
During his fight against Sora, Roxas' demand ''tell me why he picked you'' could just as easily refer to Axel as the keyblade. He left the organization to find out why the keyblade picked him ,and Axel sacrificed his life to save Sora but ''wouldn't get turned into a Dusk for'' sparing Roxas. Thoughts?
