Riku continues to ally himself with DiZ, as they have a common goal: to help Sora awaken (though Riku finds his memories of Sora fading, being a side-effect of Naminé's toying with Sora's memories). Roxas's memory is erased by DiZ and he is placed into a [[Simulated Twilight Town]], to live out his days until the time comes for him to meet Sora. Meanwhile, Riku watches over Roxas, periodically entering the town in order to keep Roxas ignorant to the truth, including keeping Naminé from saying anything important to Roxas. He also takes some keepsakes of Roxas's during some of his visits. With all these deeds done, Riku finally demands to know what DiZ's true objective is. Upon hearing that it is merely revenge (DiZ does not disclose against whom it is), Riku clenches his fist, shocked and disgusted at how DiZ is merely using him and Sora for his own selfish reasons.

Roxas's memory is erased by DiZ and he is placed into [[The Other Twilight Town]], to live out his days until the time comes for him to meet Sora.

Eventually, when the time comes for Roxas, Riku makes sure to prevent the Nobodies from flooding the town. Soon, the goal Riku had been searching for is finally reached: Roxas joins with Sora. Though DiZ orders him to eliminate Naminé, Riku, feeling DiZ had no right in deciding  her fate, decides to hand her to the now-renegade Axel of Organization XIII before leaving DiZ.

Later, Axel tries to kidnap Kairi in an attempt to use her to turn Sora into a Heartless so Roxas would be reborn. However, Riku rescues Kairi by opening a Corridor of Darkness, and takes her to Twilight Town, where she meets [[Hayner]], [[Pence]], and [[Olette]], but never reveals his identity. At [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless|the battle for Hollow Bastion]], Sora, Donald, and Goofy end up in an empty realm, where Riku arrives. He says nothing to them, and only leaves the trio a box that contains [[sea-salt ice cream]] and a [[Picture|picture of Roxas, Hayner, Pence, and Olette in front of the haunted mansion]] before immediately departing.

Riku also arrives at [[The Land of Dragons]], trying to warn [[the Emperor]] of a Heartless dragon that [[Xigbar]] had created. However, he ends up meeting Sora, and Sora attacks him, thinking Riku to be an Organization member. When Sora sees that Riku is wielding the Soul Eater, he begins to suspect Riku's identity. Advancing forward, Riku still goes ahead with his mission and warns the Emperor, but had to defeat [[Li Shang]] in order to do so. When Sora talks to the Emperor, the wise ruler's description of the man further cemented Sora's idea that the man he fought was Riku; though unaware of why he is wearing the coat, Sora is nonetheless relieved to know that Riku is safe.

Riku is briefly playable after completing [[Olympus]] and once more after completing [[The Caribbean]] and [[San Fransokyo]]. Both times, he faces against a Demon Tower. Riku has access to Thundaga and Curaga for magic and has 1 Hi-Potion and 1 Ether. Riku also does not have access to Shotlocks{{KHIII}} and Formchanges. He uses Dark Roll and Dark Barrier. Riku attacks swiftly and many of his attacks are wide and are performed with a 360° move. During the first fight, he wields his [[Way to the Dawn]] Keyblade. His guard is a joint barrier with Mickey, which can be followed with a joint Counter Blast. During this fight, Riku's finisher is called [[Double Duel]]. When performing this move, Riku and Mickey both perform a buzzsaw move twice, similarily to [[Shadowbreaker]] and [[Icebreaker]], which deals incredible damage. In the second fight, Riku wields the [[Braveheart]] Keyblade, and his unique finisher is [[Dark Firaga]], which performs identically to its ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' appearance.

He has access to Thundaga and Curaga for magic and has a single Hi-Potion and Ether, although they replenish between battles. Riku does not have access to Shotlocks (except in ''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind'') or Formchanges. Riku attacks swiftly and many of his attacks are wide and are performed with a 360° turn.


In ''[[Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind]]'', while fighting Dark Riku and Xigbar, Riku can use the [[Dark Divide]] [[Shotlock]], which has a maximum lock of 28 and bears a similar appearance to his Dark Firaga finisher.
