Riku: Difference between revisions

Line 239:

Another good personality trait he showed was a strong protectiveness over his friends. He never wanted Sora and Kairi to find out about the time he spent in the darkness. He nearly sacrificed himself to protect Sora from Xemnas' attacks, leaving him injured after the final battle.

Though Riku matures significantly over the course of the series, he still seems to retain some of his old ''Kingdom Hearts'' self, particularly his sense of humor; he refers to Sora, Donald, and Goofy as "wise guys" when talking to the [[the Emperor|Emperor]], cracks a joke about Donald and Goofy's intelligence at their expense ("Sora never did pick the brightest friends."), and calls Sora a "total sap" when going to confront Xemnas~~.<br /><br />Like with Sora, there have been some hints that Riku may have, or at least had, romantic feelings for Kairi.

* When the trio watches the sunset at the beginning of the first game, Riku says that Kairi's the one who gave him the idea of the raft and thanks her for it. Given how important the raft is and his fascination with other worlds, this could be taken in such a light.

*In Monstro he mocks Sora about saving Kairi and kidnaps Pinocchio in hopes that it might help her, regardless of the fact that he's very much a living puppet with importance to Gepetto.

*In a scene on Hook's ship he looks truly sad about her condition, and once Maleficent gives him power over the heartless he looks at her and simply says "Soon, Kairi. Soon." This could suggest strong feelings for her.

*When speaking to Hook in Monstro he says "As long as it means getting Kairi's heart back, I couldn't care less," and is determined to find it no matter what.

*In Hollow Bastion he mocks Sora about Kairi again and tells him that he doesn't have what it takes to save her.

*When Ansem is about to use the darkness in Hollow Bastion, Riku holds him back so that Donald, Goofy, and Kairi can escape.

*At the end of the first game he specifically tells Sora to take care of her.

*In Chain of Memories Namine appears to Riku in the form of Kairi and helps him get over his 'fear' of the darkness and embrace what he has to face Zexion, perhaps because Kairi is an important person to Riku.
