Just as Riku Replica was about to deliver the ''coup de grâce'', a desperate Naminé shatters Riku Replica's false memories and his heart with them. Larxene later interferes, and explains Riku Replica's nature and creation. An angered Sora fought with the Organization member, successfully defeating her. Riku Replica was last seen in the top floor of Castle Oblivion, where he saved Naminé from Marluxia. Despite losing his memory, he remembered his oath to protect Naminé. He protected her throughout the battle between Sora and Marluxia. In the end, he leaves Sora and Naminé, saying a fake like him does not deserve to be together with them; Sora, however, comforts the replica. Feeling Sora's warm kindness, the replica smiles and leaves. He still has one more thing to do: defeat the real Riku. | Just as Riku Replica was about to deliver the ''coup de grâce'', a desperate Naminé shatters Riku Replica's false memories and his heart with them.

After leaving Sora, Riku Replica joined [[Axel]], who would use him for enacting his (and [[Saïx]]'s) own plans. They seek out the wounded [[Zexion]], who is initially shocked to see them, believing Axel to be accompanied by "the real Riku". His relief does not last long, however, after Axel presents the replica with an idea, telling that if he gains power that the real Riku doesn't have, he could be something real, not someone's counterpart. Agreeing, Riku Replica approaches Zexion, and drains the life force out of him (initially giving him Zexion's powers). Riku Replica was later seen in a memory version of [[Twilight Town]], where he meets Riku in front of the [[Old Mansion]]. The replica remarks that Riku no longer feared the darkness, in which he earns the original's confusion in return. Riku Replica replies that he ''is'' Riku, and thus he would know everything about his counterpart. Feeling annoyed, Riku remarks that he is himself, and no one could possibly be him. Angered because of the fact that he is "a fake", the Riku Replica taps his dark powers, and states that in the end, he was still nothing but a replica, even after gaining new power. | After leaving Sora, Riku Replica joined [[Axel]], who would use him for enacting his (and [[Saïx]]'s) own plans.

However, he encounters Riku, and tries to make himself look taller. He also takes a piece of meat, thinking Naminé had taken a bite of it (though it was actually Larxene), and puts a chain on it, pretending that it's a "new good luck charm" (referring to Naminé giving him the fake good luck charm). Also, Riku Replica only fights Sora once. The second time he is encountered by Sora, he simply grabs Sora's good luck charm and attempts to smash it before Naminé crushes his heart. In a short story called "[[The Strange Tale of the Riku Replica]]", he is revived and visits the grave of Vexen and asks him why he was made. Many replicas of Vexen appeared, stating "We are all failed replicas," and the Riku Replica picks up a hobo stick and leaves saying he needs to find himself, only to find that Vexen's replicas won't leave him be. | ||
