Analyzing “Lauriam is Lauriam”
Nomura caused quite a stir among Kingdom Hearts fans recently he was asked at an event, “Is Lauriam Marluxia?” and he replied “Lauriam is Lauriam.”
This sent many fans into a flurry of confusion. Did Nomura mean Lauriam isn’t Marluxia?
All right, there are two possibilities:
- This is an insane plot twist even by Kingdom Hearts standards, and Marluxia is not the Nobody of Lauriam (unlikely).
- Marluxia is the Nobody of Lauriam (likely).
Lauriam is “not Marluxia” in the same way that Lea isn’t Axel. The characters themselves seem to draw a distinction between Somebody and Nobody, even when they are functionally the same person.
Here is another way to look at it, presented in a humorous video from Just a Pancake on Youtube.
Make sense?
Lauriam is Lauriam. Marluxia is not Lauriam, Marluxia is Lauriam’s Nobody.
