Both got revived so isn’t going to be an issue unless Ven visits first.

*** Even more sad if you assume that after Ven's likely revival in Kingdom Hearts III might lead him to eventually visit the colosseum. The one who bears Roxas' face (which, to be fair, was originally Ven's) will actually be a stranger.

* [[RuleOfThree Everything about Axel and what happens to him in the end.]] He finds himself between wanting to save both his friends and being loyal to the Organization. Trying to play both sides eventually gets one friend to hate him and the other to run away. In the end both his friends end up leaving, later he loses all memories of one and is ordered to capture or destroy the other. By the time Kingdom Hearts II main story starts he's a broken man who has lost everything and has no choice but to betray the Organization anyways, not to save his friends like he so much wanted, but to help the group of people that took them away in the first place.

* A side-story in the manga features a Dusk who's constantly bossed around by the others, but Xion shows him kindness and they become friends. Then Saïx orders him to "slow [the imposter] down". Cue Xion looking at the vase where the dusk had put flowers daily and finding a bouquet of Aster tataricus also known as Shion, which means "I'll never forget you".

* In a somewhat meta example, ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' was Wayne Allwine's (the late voice actor of Mickey Mouse) final performance. When he died of hypertension as a complication of a diabetes, it was May 18th 2009. The game was released just twelve days after his death, on May 30th.
** The credits of Days says: "In loving memory of Wayne Allwine."
* A Meta one. Alyson Stoner, Xion's voice actress, had previously released a song called ''Lost and Found.'' The lyrics are so appropriate for Xion's character, you'd swear that song were written for the game. Here's an AMV demonstrating it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYtKV2Vd5yI

** Even more tragically is, if you think of it, had Mickey been involved, there was a chance he could have provided some comfort and happiness to Roxas and Xion, if not even guaranteed them a happier ending to look forward to. He would have ''never'' allowed them, regardless of them being Nobodies, to just suffer and unceremoniously be sacrificed for Sora's sake when they are clearly so genuine and sincere in their bond. Mickey would have been able to empathize with them and befriend them and openly make it clear they may have to be gone for now, but he will seek to save them from their tragic fates, allowing them the solace of a future salvation, which would have made it possible for Xion to die happy and even Roxas to accept his fate willingly. In the end, much of the tragedy and sadness of the game happened because Mickey Mouse is not just [[StoryBreakerPower too powerful]], but also because he is also too good-hearted to possibly condemn two young teenagers to the cruel fate they would suffer. One can only wonder what would have happened if the game at least included Mickey only sparingly, having him be the reasonable and heroic one among the callousness of DIZ and the remorseful resignation of Riku and Namine.

** Even In fact, Mickey's absence in the entire game alone can be considered the most tragic of the many times where he's unable to help the heroes. As said above, the tragic death of the teenagers that were Roxas and Xion happened with Disney's most iconic mascot included in the game, but one must also realize that Mickey was ''not'' even aware that he was so desperately needed, even though had he been involved, there would have been a decent chance the game would have been more tragically is, if you think of it, had sweet than bitter. Had Mickey been involved, there was a chance he could have provided some comfort and happiness to Roxas and Xion, if not even guaranteed them a happier ending to look forward to.

*** Indeed, not only does the game provide the brief HopeSpot that we all know won't happen because of what ''II'' had already shown us, but it makes DIZ's self-loathing over what happened to Roxas even more pronounced and tragically correct. His tone when he's talking to Mickey in ''II'' makes it clear that he is fully aware that had he just been honest with Mickey and told him everything, there was a chance Roxas would have accepted his fate and at least peacefully disappeared with the hope of eventually being revived. Even if there still had to be a fight with Roxas, had Mickey been the one to take on Roxas, he would have been able to not only defeat Roxas, but also snap him out of his rage-driven rampage and desire to get revenge on the Organization. He's not just ashamed to face his old friend because of what he had done in his pursuit for vengeance, he's ashamed of the damage he had caused by ''not trusting'' him.
