'''Dark Riku''' is [[Riku Replica]]'s time-traveling [[heart]] in a new, [[replica]] body, and was originally believed to be the real [[Riku]] from back when he was possessed by [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]]. He is a member of the [[real Organization XIII]], infused with a fragment of Xehanort's heart. After Dark Riku is defeated in [[Keyblade Graveyard]], his [[body]] is used to resurrect [[Naminé]].

Prior to receiving a fragment of Master Xehanort's heart, Dark Riku is sent to [[Prankster's Paradise]] to unnerve Riku by recreating his kidnapping of [[Pinocchio]]. When caught, Dark Riku reveals himself and silently leaves via a [[corridor of darkness]]; his appearance prompts Riku to recall the original [[Riku Replica]].

Later, Dark Riku joins the other members of the real Organization XIII in [[Where Nothing Gathers]] at [[The World That Never Was]]. His time soon runs out after the Organization's attempt to induct Sora is stymied, however, and he is returned to his proper place in history.

Once [[Vexen]] refines the [[replica]]s, Dark Riku's heart is brought from the past once again; upon inhabiting his new body, Dark Riku is given a fragment of Xehanort's heart. {{Storylink|Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind}}

In [[San Fransokyo]], Dark Riku conducts an experiment to see if a heart can be recreated from data. He uses a chip designed by [[Hiro Hamada]] to forge a heart born from conflict, and with it, he is able to unleash [[Dark Baymax]] upon [[Sora]] and company.

At the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], Dark Riku confronts the seven [[Guardians of Light]] and demonstrates his superior strength for them after mocking the real Riku. Dark Riku is ultimately defeated after a clash with Sora and Riku, and his heart is extracted by the current version of [[Riku Replica]], who had been coexisting within Riku's heart, leaving his vessel behind. Dark Riku's heart returns to his past while his present day self fades away; the vessel is then collected by [[Demyx]], who takes it to [[Radiant Garden]].{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind}}

Like his other self, Dark Riku has all the real Riku's powers. He fully embraces the darkness in battle, and he wields a version of the [[Soul Eater]]. With the fragment of Xehanort's heart within him, Dark Riku's powers are stronger than his other self; able to manifest darkness in the shape of Xehanort and summon Heartless and Nobodies from it.

He is also able to manipulate darkness into temporary shapes, mimicking the damaging crystals used by [[Game:Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] and the homing darkness claw used by [[Anti Black Coat]] and Ansem.

Dark Riku is also capable of using Dark Corridors to reach alternate dimensions outside the [[Universe of Kingdom Hearts|three main realms]], being able to retrieve the original Baymax. Shown to be good with mixing magic with technology, Dark Riku attempts to craft an artificial heart using Baymax's old combat chip by imbuing it with negative emotions from the victims the Heartless attack and the positive emotions from having the [[Darkubes]] fight Sora.

==Strategy==
===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
Dark Riku is fought as one of the bosses at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], fought alongside Xigbar. Sora has Riku as an ally during this fight.
Dark Riku's fighting style is much like the Riku Replica's. He often attacks with multiple combos: either generating a sword beam from his Soul Eater before lunging forward, or a devastating three-hit combo that generates shockwaves in its wake. Much like [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], Dark Riku occasionally employs mines of darkness that explode after a short period of time, and can send out a pool of darkness that generates claws; Dark Riku's versions of the attacks are purple to match his [[Dark Mode]] suit. His ultimate attack is a hybrid of [[Dark Aura]] and the Riku Replica's Helm Splitter technique. When using this attack, he crashes down on Sora and Riku seven times before one final crash that leaves shockwaves of darkness.
