Talk:Dark Aura

KHII Dark Aura
Unlike most Action Abilties, Riku's Dark Aura creates a Reaction Command, and can be used directly while Riku is the PC (In the final battle with Xemnas in Kingdom Hearts II, the player is forced to control Riku for a time. Dark Aura appears in Riku's unique command menu, utilized by pressing .). However, it is the same Dark Aura, so it should not be listed twice in the obtainment list. It should, however, be covered in the lead. Glorious  CHAOS!  03:17, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

KH1 version
The KH1 version is named "Dark Aura" (闇のオーラ) by the Ultimania. It's plainly the same technique, but is spelled differently. Any objections to adding that as an alternate name in here? 17:50, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * It should be added, but would it be better to put it in the lead, or in the section about the attack in KH? 18:12, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Riku's version is plainly the foundational version of the one used throughout the rest of the series, as with Dark Firaga, so I'd prefer we list it in the lead, clarifying that it is an early name for the technique. Also, I think Ansem SoD's "Aura of Darkness" would fit in the other appearances, as it looks like it's supposed to be an "upgrade" of the Dark Aura technique. 20:33, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Dark Rush Merger
To be clear, Dark Aura has been confirmed by Re: Chain of Memories and Dream Drop Distance to be the official English name of the technique.

There is a difference between disambiguation and blind adherence to direct translation.

 * ...riiiiight, and what the disambig is talking about is that the most up-to-date localization translates it as "Dark Rush". 00:28, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually, the JP version has two different special attacks called ダークオーラ. The first one is Roxas & Axel & Xion's, which has been translated as Dark Aura, the other is Dark Riku's, which is called Dark Rush. I think they named it that to avoid confusion. I think we should cover Dark Rush here, but keep the page as Dark Aura. 07:27, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
