The earthquakes in the canyons are becoming too powerful; the very tower that the remaining eight warriors rest on shook them violently off on occasion, and their battles became aerial several times. Nonetheless, the truly powerful agents of war that have been left standing after the battles proved themselves superior. Many of the black cloaks have disappeared, taken away by the violent winds in the canyon. The entire world is covered in darkness, and yet here, it is bright as day under Kingdom Hearts. None of these warriors are unfamiliar with this light--the light of Kingdom Hearts, for most. Last time, friends were lost, separated, in danger--and the same is true once more. Eight warriors remain; looking into each other's eyes, war is becoming harder, both on their bodies and mentally. The hero shall battle his other self; this battle, why does it feel so... symmetrical? Why is everything so similar? In a battle that feels like a rematch, the Superior shall battle the Master and mage--again. Heroes of the two forces that make up the worlds' people and essences shall do battle, and the hero's harbored light shall do battle with his carrier's former friend, and now enemy--why is this battle so... familiar? The weapons rise, the warriors are lifted up--and the light and darkness above invite them to the Keyblade War once more.
I don't care too much for Roxas. The only reason why I like him is because his story so sad. Character wise, it's gotta be Sora.--Be a good boy now! 16:01, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

Well, my theory is that a persons Nobody is a better fighter than the Somebody. So, logically Roxas should bat Sora. Sora only beat Roxas in KH2 because Roxas didn't know Sora could make his keyblade come to him. Darkheart3
As much as I like Sora, him or Riku winning the entire tournament would be too cliché. Also, Roxas had the short stick at the end of the games released so far...time for him to get something better. So I'm with you again, Rox. Sephiroth0812 21:32, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

Ventus- continues to live in Sora, doesn't have a complete heart. Roxas is Ventus with memory loss. User:Animalvius

Yep, I can only second this, Caelum. It was actually put a big emphasis by the developers that Roxas and Ven are both independent, distinct existences. The only things Roxas got from Ven are 1st his looks cuz Ven's injured heart stayed in Sora's body when it was expelled from Sora's heart and 2nd the ability to have actual emotions. Because Ven's heart is injured and inactive Roxas couldn't feel it, but he could have real feelings due to carrying it. Sephiroth0812 21:41, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
Roxas is terrible. Just...terrible. He whines when he's in the Organization, and he whines when he's a normal kid. For got's sake, people."We're werewolves,not swearwolves."(KrytenKoro) 01:50, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
But Sora's a thief, a vandal, an imbecile, a puppet, a troublemaker, a meddler, extremely gullible, an amnesiac, a sore loser, immature, mentally handicapped, has no respect for other's property, and talks to strangers.
Oh, and sad, strange little men use <!--- tags to hide extraneously long arguments to defend such a hoodlum. You people make me sick. maggosh 01:59, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
Question...it's possible I'm just not seeing it because Roxas is my favorite male character, but I don't recall him acting really depressed too much, and even when he did wasn't it always for good reasons? If anything, I'd say he has more of a temper issue than a depression issue. Naminé and Roxas Forever
I'm also not a Roxas-fanatic, but if you look at his story overall and how he came into existence it's not that unreasonable that he acted how he did. Sephiroth0812 02:41, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
Yea, when you think about it, Roxas is not the "depressed emo that embodies all teenage angst" like so many people make him out to be. Who wouldn't be upset if they found out one day they were never meant to exist? Naminé and Roxas Forever
Wow, from 23-30 to 30-32. Go Sora! =) Soxxeh 03:34, December 12, 2010

I believe Roxas will win this round. Sora is already popular and loved by everyone. Why can't Roxas have that same respect and love? He is Sora's nobody after all. To anyone who didn't vote yet, do what Xion did and VOTE FOR ROXAS! :D Keyblade0
Seriously, that's going too far! Some of what I read here, is just sick! Is it so absolutely necessary for this little fun competition, to blame the character who is not your personal favourite to the death? NO, it's not! That is just stupid. Both characters are okay, for my part. If you have a different opinion: okay, it's your right, but that doesn't mean you have to find a ridiculus reason to HATE the other. (And most of the reasons here, are ridiculous. -.-)Please just think about it --Drace 12:32, December 13, 2010 (UTC)
Seriously? If I found out that I wasn't supposed to exist, I'd be maniacally laughing, and shouting "Behold! For my very existence refutes the will of the gods! I am a will unto my own, a power that shakes the very foundation of creation!"
Roxas, on the other hand, spends all his time sitting on that damn clock tower, head in his hands, moping. I'm sorry, but "power to defy gods" + "power to release and control the very essence of what it means to be human" + "freaking friends to hang out with all the time" + "oh my god, you're supposed to be less emotional than Sora, not more, and you're best friend is so cool it's like he's literally made of cigarettes" does not make for reasonable causes of mopiness."We're werewolves,not swearwolves."(KrytenKoro) 15:39, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

My favorite character, and I'd like to see Ventus vs. Roxas--Laurxafinal 16:40, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
Ventus is my second favourite character! And i hate Riku..And Ventus is the vessel for the X-Blade, can't beat that Vexilor 18:10, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
Toughest match ever, but Ven is slightly cooler and needs the vote more. Number XIII - LightRoxas - The Key of Destiny 20:21, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
Roxas defeated Riku and Ven looks like Roxas. SeanWheeler 20:42, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
Ventus...3rd favourite under Roxas and Cloud.Darkheart3
VEN-VEN!! Ven is my favorite only second to Roxas! Riku would never beat Ven and the only reason he beat Roxas is because he had to cheat and use the big bad Guardian. Otherwise Roxas woulda kept wiping the floor with him. Roxas is basicly Ven soooo VEN RULES!! :P Roxas 21:40, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
4 reasons, 1st Ven is such a cutie I can't bring myself to vote against him. 2nd Ven-Ven is also fighting for Terra here, who he was forced to fight last round. 3rd the combo of light and wind is way more awesome than plain darkness. 4th I made a promise to someone ;)...now you get the lead, Ven-Ven. Sephiroth0812 21:49, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
Fav character is Roxas but Ven is 99% the same. D.Dark. 22:03, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
Riku was better in dark mode. Besides, imagine what roxas would look like if ven hadn't been there. eh... You made too many wrong mistakes
Ventus!!!! Since Ventus's heart is inside of Sora, he acts just like him. We have all seen Sora fight with his unbreakable spirit!! Come on!! No brainer!! {{SUBST:User:Dbdbzdbgtwoo/sig2}} 23:45, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
Im sorry, Riku! I would be happy with you as the winner, too. But I had to make a choice... :( --Drace 00:55, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
Hey! I'm breaking the tiebreaker! Also, I'm voting because Ventus=wind=(Greek mythology) Zephyr (nice wind god)=AWESOMENESS!!! ANX21901:05, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
Ventus is awesome! Riku is not one of my favorite characters ~~SuperStitchFan97~~
Not a shoddy Sora clone, and is a pretty kickass character in KH2. Also, Riku's the only character in KH to wear JEANS :O Chitalian8 14:34, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
File:Sephiroth.jpg--Riku should've kept his darness, then maybe it would not have come down to his near loss. So I shall help by providing him w/ a vote that shall put him in the lead...for now.
the only game that i did not like Riku in was Kingdom Hearts, and he's got 3 other games that he was awesome in to make up for that. Ventus was awesome in only one game--ShadowsTwilight 16:07, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
I've voted for Riku in EVERY round, you expect me to quit now? ShatteredWorlds 16:19, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
Only reason I'm voting for Riku is he has had 3 games to develop his character. Ventus only had 1, and while he is a deep character, if he had been in at least one more game I'd vote for him. --Evnyofdeath 16:55, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

Who went to the Darkness (twice!) & came back stronger than ever? Riku. What did Ventus do: whine about his friends, got taken over by his Darkness & lost his heart. & who's going to help get it back? Riku. Take that Ventus! Namohcan 23:01, 10th December 2010 (GMT)
I like his "dark side" stuff, sorry Ven. Roxas pwns sora47 23:25, December 10, 2010 (UTC)Roxas_pwns_sora47
Ventus, Riku, Ventus, Riku, Ventus, Riku, GGGAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! This is KILLING ME!!! Sorry Ven, I've got to go with Riku, I'm not sure if I can explain it, but I'm following my heart on this one. Riku, don't let his defeat be in vain (even if you're the one who might beat him). AROS 15:39, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

Riku inheireted Terra's Key. Terra was better than Ven. Therefore, Riku is better than Ven. Math FTW! Hyperwre_2.0 03:18, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
I love Ven, but still... I have to side with Riku here. CruxisCalling 22:24, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
Just finished playing 358/2 days, and though a lousy hero, he's a great villain..--Bananaphone1996 21:32, October 24, 2010 (UTC)
Even though I want Ventus and Roxas to face off, Riku would mop the floor with Ventus. Hell, he already has. Considering Ventus is Roxas (ref. look at my comment for Roxas) @VonFrank read my comment for Roxas to see what I'm getting at. User:Animalvius
Even though he looks like him, Ventus is not Roxas. Ergo; Riku gets my vote. -VonFrank 08:06, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
This is really close, but darkness beats wind anyday Jackdap 14:35, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
This is for Terra you two feet item of fanlore, oh and by the way TIE BREAKER!--Zenf3 = Terra+Riku = Terku 21:50, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
Ven is still just way too whiny for me. Brettashley 23:11, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
Ventus was a recycled Sora, Riku on the other hand has had no character quite like him. Ventus, in my opinion, was a very unoriginal character that had a ton of potential with his place in the story, but lost it due to a poor character. --DTN 00:24, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
Ven should have been kicked out last round and Riku deserves to go farther. Questionman 02:37, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

Now im not Rikus biggest fan but when up against Ven ? Yeah Riku. Ximodnic 13:47, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
Ven's too dramatic -1337doom
got to go with Riku even though i think it sucks that it's gonna end up sora vs Riku. its just he got the experience the power and the awesome jeans. besides i think ven is just 2 innocent to beat Riku User:Ludacriz94
@Naminé and Roxas Forever: Really? I liked him in all but one. (KH one, to be exact...) --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 06:33, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, it's just a matter of personal preference really. Oddly enough, I liked him best in Days. The only thing making me not like him in Kingdom Hearts II is his outfit really, but that's mainly just because I was expecting something cooler, conisdering how dramatically he flung off his Black Coat. XD I know it's a stupid reason not to like a character, but... *shrugs* EDIT: Oh, and I just felt he didn't contribute as much to the story as he could have. I'm sure that will change with "3D" though...hopefully. Naminé and Roxas Forever
Hardest choice in the KBW so far.... I can't pick.--Be a good boy now! 16:12, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
Noooo! Ven! =[ Soxxeh 19:10, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
I think Ven would win hands down if it weren't for the fact that not many people have played BBS. Number XIII - LightRoxas - The Key of Destiny 20:27, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
Actually I played BBS and beat everything and I still voted for Riku. I just thought that Ventus was too much of a ... pacifist. Well... not really, more of a wimp. We need some darkness on this board and if Cloud nor Xemnas win, then we'll be stuck with Riku. User:Animalvius
Relax Soxra, my pal, this round isn't decided yet...;) Sephiroth0812 21:49, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
You make a fair point; he appears to have caught up for the time being. I'm not giving up hope! Soxxeh 22:13, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
That's the spirit, Ven himself also never gives up regardless how badly hurt he is...^_^. Also, this far into the tournament close fights are expected...and Riku is one hell of an opponent. I'm actually surprised Mickey makes such a landslide. Sephiroth0812 22:42, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
Probably because he's a KH original. But I just never liked Riku. His weakness to darkness just reminded me of arrogant people in my own life—I'm sure you know people like that too. Soxxeh 22:44, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
Possible, however it reminds me of Axel vs. Roxas, Rox was also lying very far behind and then won by one vote. Beware the invasion of die-hard Cloud-fans. lol. Oh yeah, I do know some arrogant people, and do my best to avoid them, yet as for Riku I just didn't like him in KH I. He actually realizes his own errors and tries to set things right, even doing much self-blame. But at the end, Ven's nature and cuteness combined with his battle style just wins out for me...^_^ Sephiroth0812 22:51, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
For me, I just liked Roxas and so Ven was even cooler, as well as a happier person. And as you said Sephy, his fighting style is kick butt. LightRoxas 23:16, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
I just hate how many of these tough battles there are, though they are intersting, but they still cause me emotional struggle!!! I usually pull for Ven most of the time, but I have to go for Riku this time. I'd vote for Ven if I could, but I'm following my heart, like I said. But, on the bright side, no matter who wins, I'll still feel satisfied (well, not completely, I still wanted my Ventus vs. Vanitas battle). I wish you the best, Soxra. AROS 15:44, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
My, my, this turns out to actually being the nailbiter I expected it to be...and I agree with both of you LightRoxas and AROS. It is a friggin' hard choice after all, just like last round Ventus vs. Terra I was torn between them... Sephiroth0812 23:57, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
Riku needs his moment in the spotlight. Here's to him winning. KKD
Jeebus, every time one of them gets a vote, the other one catches up. Chitalian8 22:04, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
I just hope Ventus gets the last vote first. =D Soxxeh 22:09, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
I just don't want Riku to lose this. Ah well, if he loses, there's still the Mirage Arena. Chitalian8 22:12, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
I wouldn't be surprised if this round is decided by just one vote again...it would then be the third me thinks, after Axel/Roxas and Xemnas/Xigbar. Sephiroth0812 22:33, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
Fourth—Tidus & Clayton. RIP Tidus. Soxxeh 22:37, December 11, 2010
To reply to your latest attack on my voting, I did play Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, and I consider Riku extremely different from Terra in that Riku's journey to conquer and accept darkness was more complex than Terra's, and has a larger impact in the story with multiple appearances as his original being. Terra appeared for one game with a condensed version of a story similar to Riku's, though his aim was different, and then vanished. Sure, we've seen villains stem from him, but they don't act in the same ways Terra would. Riku, on the other hand, has a constant aim. --DTN 20:52, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
Must... hold... urges... to destroy... Riku's votes.... *Shoots self in the head* the17master said that
Agreed. Did you bring the Russian Roulette kit? Soxxeh 3:24am, December 13, 2010 (UTC)
