| Wow, this page needs a lot of work. I did a quick cleanup of the Kingdom Hearts bio section, but I feel that my writing was hampered by the trash that was already there. It seemed that when whoever was writing this article forgot what actually happened in the game they made something up. I'll do another cleanup of that section during the week. I plan to cleanup the Kingdom Hearts II section. but I have no idea what happened with Riku in Chain Of Memories, so someone else would have to do that. I'm '''very''' tempted to replay the first game (which I haven't done since I started Kingdom Hearts II last year, and the gameplay is really bad compared to the sequel) just so that I can rewrite that first section! In fact, I'm going to go hook up my Playstation 2 right after this edit has been saved. I'd like to complety rewrite this article, but again lack of knowlege of the GBA game and a fuzzy memory prevent me. I'll get back to this page in a few days after I've played most of Kingdom Hearts over again (yes, I have time to do that, I have no real life) and after I do a cleanup of the Donald Duck page. -- [[User:DrakemasterDrake|Drake]] | | Wow, this page needs a lot of work.

| ==Related to Master Xehanort?==
| |
| There's a cutscene in BBS that shows Master Xehanort when hes was young. He had long, white, spikey-tipped hair. It was revealed that MX's home world was Destiny Islands.
| |
| The only other person in the KH universe that has white hair and comes from Destiny Islands is Riku. Both of them are connected to the darkness, and both are able to wield their own keyblade. Anybody besides me see room for a Skywalker moment? (No Riku, I am your father... something along those lines.)

| Umm, perhaps not "I am your father"(look at Master Xehanort, he looks like he's in his sixties-seventies), but maybe the two do have some relation. --[[Special:Contributions/84.249.211.221|84.249.211.221]] 18:46, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

| Well, I didn't necessarily mean that he was Riku's father, just that they might be related. Glad to see that I'm not the only one considering this as a possibility. [[Special:Contributions/97.90.18.64|97.90.18.64]] 20:37, November 28, 2010 (UTC) EmptySentiment

| ==Age==
| |
| I know this is kinda odd. but the subject of sora, kairi, and riku's ages in kh2 is kinda up in the air. It is never officially stated anywhere in KH2 exactly how old they are. but i would say that Sora and Kairi are 16 and Riku is 17. i know they were 2 years younger in KH1 but really. look at them. no one matures that much in a single year. especially sora. compare him to from both games. the level of maturity is so drastically different and its absurd to say he got all that in one year, the voice change, growth spurt and mental maturity. could people stop saying that they are 15 and 16 in KH2. i know it takes place a year after Chain of memories, but really people.
| |
|
| |
| {{ShadowXemnas|text=Actually, the game booklet that came with the KH1 game (You can find it inside the game case, if you don't know what I'm talking about) specifically states their ages as being 14 (Sora & Kairi) and 15 (Riku). It can then be assumed that indeed they are 15 and 16 respectivly in KH2.}}

| == Merging with Riku article ==
| |
|
| |
| People! [[Riku (Xehanort's Heartless)]] is a spin-off article about Riku's form as Xehanort's Heartless, not the Riku article itself. Consider it like the other forms our Kingdom Hearts characters use. Of course, this is not really a useful form in battle, but it's still a disguise.
| |
|
| |
| This article should not be merged, because it has an independent purpose of its own as Riku's alternate forms, just like his [[Dark Mode]]. Besides, if you consider this page should be merged, then maybe you should merge the Dark Mode article too. It isn't exactly a good article itself.

| |
| I'm going to assume by "Gal with the throwing knives", you're talking about Larxene. Those knives are called kunai, by the way. And not a chance in her case. Her Nobody form was desintegrated in 'Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories', which means she wouldn't have any chance to regenerate into a human, unless Nomura put another spin on the series, which is completely liable. As for Olette, I would think she's a little young... isn't she? [[Special:Contributions/67.43.20.244|67.43.20.244]] 19:54, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

| |
|
| |
| actually the way I see it they all seem to have a three-way friendship dynamic (i wish to make a joke about that) while sora and kairi seem to have romantic feelings for each other sora and riku are what is known as "Hetero-sexual Life-partners" in other words they all three just sort of fit together.

| |
| Kingdom Hearts will never have a canon pairing. Not even Sora and Kairi are truly canon, as it's only implied. Nomura even stated
| |
|
| |
| "Honestly, I don't care who loves whom. I think you could imagine the scenarios that we don't mention however you want to. You could enjoy talking about that with your friends."
| |
|
| |
| Furthermore, there are strong implications that he likes Kairi in the first game. He purposely leaves it open for interpretation.

| Yes, Riku maybe care for Xion, but Xion is Roxas puppet (or clone) and Roxas is Sora nobody and Riku can't be gay for Sora if Sora love Kairi?--[[User:Hotdragon 295|Hotdragon 295]] 01:30, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

|
| |
| I really like Riku and Xion together, especially during that scene between them on Destiny Islands. First off, while Xion was having ther nightmare, Riku gently pushed her hair aside, and that can't be a mere friendly gesture; it is mostly seen as a romantic one. Besides Sora has Kairi, and there is Roxas and Namine, so it only makes sense that Riku and Xion would be together like the rest of them. [[User:FFfangirl]] 9:50 a.m., January 4, 2011

| In the opening song by Utanda, Sanctuary, the line "You and I, ther's a new (and something that sounds like Le-hem-eh). I always thought it was one of her backwards-frases. But when I watched a youtube version with lyrics, it said the Le-hem-eh was land. The name Riku can be interpreted as "Land" acording to Namura (sory if if I spelt that wrong).

| == Implications ==
| |
|
| |
| I don't understand what's so bad about mentioning Kairi and Riku implications if the Sora and Kairi pages can have implications left for them. When pairings aren't even likely to happen is it so bad to mention other hints? It's good to be objective as opposed to subjective, after all, and if it can be vaguely mentioned on the Riku Replica page, why not here? One-sided or not, it's far too obvious in the first game to deny at least something.
| |
|
| |
| Nomura hasn't made anything canon, and if not that, maybe it'd be better to leave out romantic implications in general or do what other wikis do and make specific sections for fandom stuff like that. Either way, one pairing isn't worth noting over another. [[Special:Contributions/174.21.209.158|174.21.209.158]] 00:29, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
| |
|
| |
| This bothers me, too. The Sora and Kairi pages list implications, so why not the Riku page as well? It's not as if it's hurting anyone by acknowledging something within canon. [[Special:Contributions/174.31.193.88|174.31.193.88]] 18:36, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
| |
| ::Because Riku simply doesn't depict the same kind of romantic feelings Sora does; the closest he does is the Paopu thing, which he explicitly says is taunting Sora. He protects Kairi when he believes that Sora is ignoring them, but he very, very much does not have the same devotion that Sora did. The page as it already is accurately represents what's there.[[Special:Contributions/98.223.96.49|98.223.96.49]] 01:34, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
| |
| :::Doesn't he though? Because I think allowing his heart to become home to the darkness and following Maleficent around when he obviously doesn't trust her, all in order to protect and save Kairi, is quite the devotion. I'm pretty sure Riku states that she's what is most important to him at some point as well.
| |
|
| |
| Granted, I don't think that we need to state this in the article, but I think that Riku saying "It was just a joke" isn't reason enough to think it actually WAS a joke, since 15 year old boys rarely admit their feelings; in fact, they almost always pretend they were joking. {{User:LightRoxas/Sig}} 13:40, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
| |
| :no, he doesn't. He was already willing to accept darkness just to get off the island, that's a ''huge'' plot point. Him guarding kairi only came after he thought sora had forsaken them, and none of the followup games mention any intent towards kairi. As for the paopu...kairi wasn't even there at the time, and riku is basically the opposite of shy in kh1. Furthermore, there's a good bit to be said about that scene, and his relationship with sora in general, pointing towards focusing on sora more. We mention the connection on the replica page because namine explicitly copied soras relationship with kairi onto the replica's memories, with herself in kairi's place.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 22:04, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

| == Riku's possible Nobody ==
| |
|
| |
| I was thinking since Sora's Nobody looks exactly like Ventus. So maybe if Riku ever turn into a Heartless maybe his Nobody will look exactly like Terra and have the anagram of Riku with X and let that be Riku's Nobody's name. I mean both Terra and Riku had a lot of things in common. Their personalities are cool, distant and work in secrecy. They both care for their friends, like for Riku they are Sora, and Kairi and for Terra they are Ventus and Aqua and they both drawn close to darkness. So what do you think about the theory? Cococrash11
| |
| :Except that Naminé looks nothing like Aqua. Like at all. So Riku's Nobody could look completely different. Ven's connection to Sora may not apply with Terra and Riku. [[User:Adam 148|Adam 148]] 14:27, November 21, 2009 (UTC)

| |
| :::They look ''nothing'' alike. And Aqua doesn't look like Kairi or Xion either. The ''only'' similarities they have is due to the fact that they were both designed by Nomura using the same style. And if that's what you're going on then we'd have to say that ''every'' Nomura designed female character is "connected"... And even if they did look somewhat similar. Namine is not a clone of Aqua the way Roxas is a clone of Ven.[[User:HarpieSiren|HarpieSiren]] 00:43, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

| |
|
| |
| I'm going to get utterly destroyed by you guys, partially because of my zero edits, but:
| |
| The reason Sora's nobody, Roxas, looks like Ven is that Sora's and Ventus's hearts are connected (and/or they share a heart, but I'm wrong about that.)
| |
| Also, unless Riku's nobody is inducted into the organization, the theoretical nobody would not have an 'X' in his name, and even then, it is possible that the nobody will be anagrammed.
| |
| Lastly, (probably wrong about this/speculation,) I think I read something about Square stating that KH3 will take place right after 3D, and that it will involve Riku training Kairi to wield the keyblade.

| Under the Chain of Memories section, there is an image that was entitled "The Riku Replica." However, the image used is the exact same image from the official Kingdom Hearts (the first game) guide book for the first Riku boss fight, which depicts Riku in his Dark Mode. I have changed the image caption to state that the image is of Riku in his Dark Mode, since it would make more sense to have the image say that, and then in the article state that the Riku Replica looks just like Riku in his Dark Mode. --[[User:WorldOfChaos|WorldOfChaos]] 00:05, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

| ::The section the image is in is specifically about the Replica, not the Dark Mode, which is obliquely mentioned in the previous section. Furthermore, the Riku Replica is not bound to Dark Mode - it is a straight up Replica of Riku. By the same logic, we would need to post this "Riku Replica looks the same" in any image of Riku in his KH1 form. The image itself was uploaded as the Riku Replica image, so while it mirrors Dark Mode (which is to be expected), it is still an image "of" the Riku Replica.

Like Sora, when near death, their portrait flashes red, but when completely depleted of health, it turns a deep red. If anyone's taken the time to notice during battle, Riku's portrait never goes into this state. He just keeps on going even after taking a powerful hit at critical health.

| |
|
| |
| In the article, it mentions that Riku is able to summon two keyblades at once, and he, Sora, and Roxas are the only ones able to do so. But in Birth by Sleep, Aqua picks up Eraqus' keyblade and continues to use it, even after she gets rid of her own. And unlike Sora and Roxas, Riku and Aqua are never actually seen dual-wielding, instead summoning either one keyblade or the other. Is there something missing here?[[Special:Contributions/76.4.3.200|76.4.3.200]] 14:20, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

| |
| Remember when Riku gave Kairi the Destiny's Embrace Keyblade? he was holding the Way to Dawn on his other hand. And Aqua doesn't dual-wield, she has the ability to use the Keyblade and she just took Master Eraqus's Keyblade, similar on how Riku took Sora's in KHI. {{User:17master/Sign}}
| |
|
| |
| I just watched the scene again, and you're wrong, Riku doesn't even summon Way to the Dawn until AFTER he's already given her the Destiny's Embrace, he is never seen holding the two Keyblades at once, unlike Sora and Roxas, but just like Aqua.[[Special:Contributions/174.106.194.200|174.106.194.200]] 13:42, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

| {{maggosh|nathan=Nothing? Yeah, the Way to the Dawn is nothing. Absolutely nothing.}}
| |
|
| |
| == Some Mistakes? ==
| |
|
| |
| Ok. I've spotted a couple of possible speculation in this article. First, "When the Heartless came, he led them to the Keyhole of Destiny Islands in exchange for a trip to another world." Ok, NOWHERE was this said in the games. In ''CoM'', Zexion says that Riku himself opened the Keyhole. I am almost 100% sure this is speculation. Besides, last time I checked, Riku can't talk to Heartless.
| |
|
| |
| Second, "As a defeated Xion lies on the ground, Riku pulls off her hood and pulls up his blindfold to get a good look at her. When he sees her as Sora, he is shocked and begins questioning her how she is able to use the Keyblade, calling it a sham and worthless." I don't recall there being any proof that he saw her as Sora. He is shocked when he sees Xion, but perhaps he was only surprised that she bears a major resemblence to Kairi.

|
| |
| 2. Why are we still using the render from II for Riku?

| ==Reguarding Roxas attacking Riku with a Strike Raid...==
| |
| So I read this on the page:
| |
| '''Sure enough, Riku runs into Roxas at Memory's Skyscraper as the latter begins a rampage to free Kingdom Hearts. ''After fending off several Neoshadows, Roxas spots Riku and attacks, but a failed Strike Raid puts his Oblivion in Riku's hands.'' Riku and Roxas are both jolted by the fading memories it communicates of a now-erased Xion, and bemusedly finish off the remaining Neoshadows before turning on each other.'''
| |
| Now it could be that I viewed the scene wrong,
| |
| but to me it seemed more like Roxas was throwing the Oblivion to him, as Riku didn't really react to it as an attack.
| |
| Not to mention the keyblade was thrown at an angle where Riku would have to jump down get hit by it, not very ideal for an attack.(not the most valid point I know. XD)
| |
| I guess that would bring up the question Why would Roxas throw his keyblade to a stranger,
| |
| other than to give him a weapon to help fight the heartless... I am not really sure.
| |
| Can someone clarify this to me? (Unsigned comment by [[User:23.255.236.35]])
| |
| :[http://kh13.com/videos/days/eng-cut/24-roxas-and-riku/ Anyone care to confirm?] I think he meant to give him the keyblade for a fair duel, but considering Roxas's personaility, he probably wouldn't.
