Re: Partial Famitsu Scans (Lea + Isa)
Isa is actually a male/female name, and can be used as such without it being odd. That's what the Arabics and Islamic countries call Jesus. And there, it's a typical, normal male name. Not to mention, that I've met guys called Isa as well. My mom's friend's son is even named Isael. However, it's also true that it can be used as a girl's name. But it's not unheard of for males to have it.
Lea is for
both sexes as well (so is Ashley). But the fact that it sounds, or looks, fully like a girl's name makes parents probably give their sons a different name for the sake of their social life. That's why you see it mostly
used on girls, but in reality, it's for both genders. It can be also pronounced, "Le-ah" or "Lee". I was thinking that it would be pronounced "Le-ah", since the Japanese did so. But, they went for "Lee", which, again, is part of the pronunciation in English, so it's not wrong.
I am so thankful for that one, too D:.
What I don't understand is why Nomura keeps giving these both sex names, and not something more manly sounding. Isa is fine, but Lea is a toss up.Then again, I forgot about
Terra.
I'm guessing it's just one more of his fetishes...:x.
As for the scans, Ax-er, Lea looks healthy. Either he goes through depression, and loses weight (and those muscles), or it's the cloak. It's always the cloak. I mean, I've always believed that Axel was slim, but really fit, as he did have muscles outline in the sleeves. But now is more obvious. I've always wanted to see the Organization out of their uniform for that reason. I'm telling you, maybe it's the leather, but I bet you if we ever see the other four missing, they'll be surprisingly contrasting once uncovered from the dark get-up.
But, damn. Lea looks like he's about ready to explode with that hair. His clothes are so modern too, those sneakers are hot.
I also like the fact that little part of his scarf has checkerboard imprints, Roxas style.
Isa appears so clean-cut, serious, and such an upstanding citizen whose got lots of money in the bank that it's just...great. I like his design. It's fitting. Makes me wonder what Marluxia would've been like, then.
Which I'm curiouse about. Did Lea just wake up one morning and decide that he wanted facial tattos? D:
Look at him.
...yeah.
