Maybe a realization already realized to most people, but yesterday I was watching a blind Birth by Sleep walkthrough and Lea and Isa appeared. It suddenly occurred to me today, how much Isa resembles Riku in a way.
Clearly Isa and Axel were best friends. Childhood friends... I'm uncertain of, but they definitely appear close and have known each other for a long time. Resembles Sora and Riku on their time on the islands.
Isa complains about Lea constantly picking up stray puppies and 'making friends' on the fly. It's like how Maleficent was able to convince Riku that Sora had found new best friends and didn't care about him and Kairi anymore (when obviously that wasn't the case, but jealousy still reared an ugly head)
Then comes 358/2 Days and Saix seems even more upset and jealous that Axel has new friends and values them over his and Axel's old friendship.
Isa/Saix is basically like a Riku who never got un-possessed by Ansem Seeker of Darkness.
Am I reading too much into it? Or is it intentional? Eh.
