In Kingdom Hearts II, Ice Cream was a slightly heartwarming cameo that was integrated into the plot as a password near the end. Silly, but it is a Disney-based game.
In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, the plot revolved around Ice Cream, and it was the main source of Roxas's angst about Xion's death. Embarassing.
In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Ice Cream is used as the basis of the form-changing system which allows you to kill things faster, and it is used to form the ultimate weapon. Ludicrous.
Why hasn't anyone on the development staff stepped up, slapped Nomura, and screamed "Are you actively trying to destroy this series?!"Glorious CHAOS! 18:05, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, if you think about it Roxas associates sharing Ice Cream with friendship, and because he could't share it with axel when left the organization, Xion was he only friend left. --Evnyofdeath 18:10, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
- I understand exactly what the "context" was - the point is that Nomura chose to use it in that context. He based the game on ice cream.Glorious CHAOS! 18:20, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

| Because it's funny?
I think either you're kidding, or you're completely misreading the role of ice cream in Days. (I bet it's because of the line Roxas says before Xion disappears, isn't it. Geezis Craps! Everyone takes that line literally! It's a Japanese thing, people! Don't be so friggin literal!)
As for BBS, you don't have to use ice cream at all, you only need to play that damn minigame once and then you're done. And why shouldn't there be a Keyblade for it? It's exactly like Ultima Weapon in KH and KH2, a keyblade for completing an optional item creation activity. It's not really such a big deal that it's ice cream, is it?
In short, I think you're taking it too seriously.
