[[VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2 Once upon a time]], Axel ended up responsible for a pair of teenage Keyblade wielders who were [[YoungerThanTheyLook technically toddlers]] when it came to actual life experience. If he was going to blame anyone for that, he should probably blame Saïx since he assigned him the task of keeping an eye on Roxas during his early zombie-like days. But then Roxas and Xion ended up his best friends and he would have done anything to protect them. [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII And then he did try everything to get them back.]]
[[VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance Then]] he got a [[BackFromTheDead second chance]]. And as Lea, he wasn't going to break his promise. He would bring all his friends back.

** Master Ansem, Vexen, and Saïx all help to sneak out the Replicas to the guardians due to their various past actions. Saïx in particular (as Isa, once he's recompleted) gets a thorough character arc about this in ''Parental Instinct'', where he gives a ''very'' thorough apology to Roxas and Xion. As he's then gradually accepted into the trio's life (and home), he remains mindful of old wounds, especially towards Xion (when Roxas suggests that Isa stay over on a night that Isa might not be able to walk himself home, Isa offers to sleep on the couch rather than in the fourth bedroom, to give Xion a little more space).
