13 Organization XIII members ranked

Organization XIII are, in my opinion, some of the best villains in all of video game history. And so, with that, and Kingdom Hearts 3 presumably going to have the new Organization be the villains, I thought today I would look at the original Organization and rank all 13. Note, I am sticking with 13. So I'm not counting Xion because she was never really a member. If you've played the games, then you know what I mean. Also, I'm putting the characters here in order of how they are as characters. Not in boss fights or anything like that, just how I like them as characters themselves. And so, let's begin and I hope you all like this.
13. Zexion:

Starting us off at number 13 is the book armed, emo, magic wielding member of the Organization. I think I mainly put Zexion on here because there really isn't much to him. He's not bad, but, when compared to the other members of the Organization, I think he's just the least interesting and we don't really get anything from him. He also seems to be a lot like Ansem with Riku because his whole real motive is to get Riku to turn to the darkness again. And really, like I said, even though he's not bad, I think that out of all the Organization members, he's just the one I like the least and found the least interesting.
12. Luxord:

Next to Zexion, Luxord is on the list this low because I think he's the one we know the least about. On top of that, again, like I just said, there's not really anything to him. I think he's at number 12 and not 13 because he's a little cooler and he does come off as a bit more intimidating. But still, there isn't a thing to him and I have a weird feeling that they made him so they could have another member for the Organization.
11. Xaldin:

Again, even though I said at the beginning that I wouldn't put the characters here by boss fights, I have to say, this guy puts up one huge fight. And, unlike the other two I've already mentioned, he actually does have some kinda backstory behind him. His real name is Dilian who was a guard of the castle at Radiant Garden until Xehanort opened his heart and he because Xaldin. And he's a really cool villain in Beast's Castle in Kingdom Hearts 2.
10. Lexaeus:

Now we get into the awesome members of the Organization. Lexaeus is the strongest member of the Organization. And I don't mean by power, I mean by brute strength. In Chain of Memories, he's kinda like what Zexion was trying to do with trying to make Riku turn to the darkness again. But he does it in more cooler ways and more brawn ways. It's awesome. Speaking of which, his death was also really cool and kinda brutal. Riku uses the power of darkness and just cuts him right down the middle. That was so cool.
And it was also cool when we saw in Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep that he was a Radiant Garden guard as well named Aeleus.
9. Vexen:

At number 9 I have the scientist of the Organization, Vexen. This guy was the reason behind the Replica Riku in Chain of Memories and was kinda the reason for the split that Sora believed was happening between the two of them when he was fighting the replica. And he's a really entertaining villain too. Like when him and Larxene are sort insulting each other constantly. But I also liked his scenes of trying to almost explain things kinda wisely because he's a scientist so he always tried his best to do a lot of experiments. The scenes like that were ones I really liked.
8. Marluxia:

Next up is the main villain, I suppose, of Chain of Memories. Marluxia was actually recently added to Kingdom Hearts: Union X and it was shown that he was around during the times of the Keyblade War and when Ven was still around. But even before that, in Chain of Memories, he was the one who was manipulating Naminé and was ordering her to mess with Sora's memories. And that final boss with him was such a great way to end Sora's part of the game.
7. Demyx:

One of few Organization members to have a personality, this ‎Sitar playing, water wielder is one of most entertaining, as said by a lot of people. In Kingdom Hearts 2, he kinda comes off as a sorta wimpy guy who doesn't really like to fight, which is kinda ironic considering he's one of the hardest bosses in Kingdom Hearts 2. But's also kinda funny with some of his wimpy scenes and I liked all the stuff with him trying to talk to Sora, but he's really trying to talk to Roxas. Like that scene in the Underworld, that was pretty funny.
6. Larxene:

Out of all the Organization members, Larxene is probably the most despicable. Where to even begin? She's constantly taunting Sora about Naminé, threatened to break the lucky charm he though she gave him, throws constant insults to everyone, does nothing but want to make everyone miserable and even tried to help with blackmailing Naminé with Sora's memories. She always so horrible and mean to everyone 100%. And then seeing her disappear when you fight her a second time was so satisfying.
5. Saïx:

At number 5 is sorta the right hand man to Xemnas. In Kingdom Hearts 2, he was like this guy who just wanted to use Sora to get more hearts so they could complete their own Kingdom Hearts. And in Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, he was sorta trying to manipulate Roxas by making his life doubtful. That's not really what he was doing, but that's what it almost kinda came across to me. But in 358/2 Days, he was the guy giving Roxas all these missions and sending him off to retrieve hearts. But you could tell there was something he was trying to achieve something else as well. At least, that what I thought because, to me, it felt like he was also trying to get ahead of everyone and make everyone doubtful. If you've played the game, you might know what I mean. But, before any of that, he was actually a guy named Isa who was friends with Axel/Lea, when they were younger until their hearts were opened too.
4. Xemnas:

Next on the list is the leader of the original Organization and the only one we saw since the first Kingdom Hearts game, Xemnas. Being the Nobody to Xehanort, he has unbelievable power and strength. In the first game he was just a mysterious guy in a black cloak. But then as we progressed through the series, we saw that, not only was he the leader of the Organization, but also the Nobody to the main villain of the series. And he really does come off as really cool and intimidating. At the end of Kingdom Hearts 2, Sora and the others do everything they can to beat him. He has such amazing power and he can do things like lift and throw skyscrapers, make lasers appear in his hands like weapons and even shoot them from his hand and he has the respect of almost every member of the Organization.
3. Xigbar:

Another Organization member who has some backstory behind him, Xigbar is a member who's always trying to be a smart-aleck with everything he says. But he was originally a traitor guard in Radiant Garden in Birth By Sleep. It was like Xehanort found him, hired him to make it look like he took him captive and in exchange, he probably thought he would get a Keyblade out of it for himself because he says he wanted one. And then he sorta went back to Radiant Garden after he was in the Keyblade Graveyard. And so, I think it would be cool to fight him again in Kingdom Hearts 3 since he's now one of the 13 Seekers of Darkness.
2. Roxas:

Coming in close to number 1 is the Nobody of the main hero, Roxas. After Sora freed his heart, Roxas was also created, but, because Ven's heart was also inside him, that's why he looks like him. And after wandering around Twilight Town for a while, Xemnas found him and brought him into the Organization because he was Sora's Nobody which allowed him to use the Keyblade himself. After befriending Axel and Xion, he was settling down in the Organization. But after a while with things seeming a little off and things not seeming to be right, he began to have doubts. And after betraying the Organization, he set out to find Sora to get Xion back and put everything back to the way it was. But when Riku found and stopped him, he was brought to another Twilight Town with his memory changed and now thinking he was just a regular guy until something seemed off there and then after some convincing, he finally returned to Sora and he vanished. And I love the scene when he finally does return to him.
Roxas himself almost seems kinda complex in places and he's not the easiest to get along with. And I like how he doesn't exactly copy Sora in terms of personality, so he can kinda be his own character. Not, my favourite member of the Organization, but still a good character and one that you may even feel sorry for in places.
1. Axel:

And finally at number 1 is the best friend of Roxas and the one who saved Sora in Dream Drop Distance, as well as one of my favourite characters in the whole series, Axel. Before he was a Nobody, he was a guy named Lea with Saïx when he was still Isa. But when he was in the Organization, he was sorta by himself for a while until Roxas came and they became best friends. After he left and forgot about everything, Axel did everything he could to try to get him back. And after kidnapping Kairi in an attempt to get Sora to release Roxas, he ended up helping Sora which caused his Nobody body to disappear. That helped him get back to normal and then he saved Sora again from Xehanort. He was trying to wield a Keyblade himself and he finally got one as we saw in the end of Dream Drop Distance. And, as we saw in Kingdom Hearts 0.2, it looks like him and Kairi have got to Merlin to try to learn how to use their Keyblades properly. Being a wise cracker all the time, Axel is one of the most entertaining characters in the whole series. I love this character and he is still one of my favourite in the whole game series. I can't wait to see what his role is like in Kingdom Hearts 3. And so everyone, that's my ranking of all Organization XIII members in Kingdom Hearts. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below or, if you like Kingdom Hearts too, please tell me who your favourite is or tell me how you'd rank them.
