AKUSAIMONTH :: BERSERK
Day 07 :: Fluffy / First
The first Axel-Saix interaction we see in 358/2 Days.

I just want to point out a few things:

  • that at this point in the game (one of the very first scenes!!!), Axel is not-yet-the-douche/asshole-that-he-will-become-towards-Saïx.
  • that Saïx is still tolerably sarcastic, (Isn’t that right, Axel?) and Axel sasses right back (though less curtly than he would later in the game).
  • that Axel actually smiles at Saïx in that lower right gif while Roxas looks away because he cannot handle the sexual tension happening in front of him, and reassures Saïx rather than shutting him right down (like he would later in the game).

Gdi why isn’t this portrayed the same way in the movie?!

AKUSAIMONTH :: BERSERK
Day 08 :: Banter / Pleasant Memories

Isa: From where I stood, the only thing you drew was a big L on your forehead for "Loser"..."Lame," "Laughable"...
Lea: Wha-- Isn't this the part where ya...cheer me up or somethin'? "You're just havin' a bad day." or..."That's what you get for pullin' your punches!" Some friend.

They’re finally Somebodies again, so why must they still stand on opposite sides?

AKUSAIMONTH :: BERSERK
Day 16 :: Jealousy

At a point in time they had been bound by Isa’s lies that had taken the shape of a string of fate, and that string had been enough to make them both fall into an abyss of darkness that Isa desperately wanted to get them out of. Why was it then that it seemed like the string of fate binding Axel to Roxas and Xion had survived the transition? They only needed to tug it to have the other follow. They didn’t need to voice their need for help, their distress seemed to find its way through the red string and tug at Axel in a way that made him understand that he was needed.

It wasn’t fair.
