Kingdom Hearts’ Most Heartbreaking Moments
7. Axel’s Last Words
Axel is up there as one of the most beloved characters in the sweeping saga that is Kingdom Hearts, just check our ranking of Organization XIII.
A chakram aficionado and a bit of a renegade, the lanky pyromancer quickly takes to Roxas when the two meet, forming an ultimate bromance (or far more if you want to take it there).
Doing everything he can to protect Roxas, to take him out of the digital world and jog his memories, he attempts to turn Sora back into a Heartless, birthing Roxas anew.
After kidnapping Kairi, he later helps Sora fight an army of Nobodies, sacrificing his life with an all-powerful explosion. As he lies fading, still cracking jokes, he apologizes to Sora. He tells him:
“I wanted to see Roxas. He…was the only one I liked. He made me feel…like I had a Heart. It’s kind of funny, you make me feel…the same…”
With the last of his energy, he opens a portal for Sora to use to get to Kairi, before fading completely.
