 ==Story==
 ===''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''===
-Riku takes this form at the end of ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' when he is defeated by Roxas, Riku already knows that he will use this form, and Mickey made a promise to never tell Sora about what happened with Riku. In this form, he appears identical to Ansem, other than his clothing, and even refers to himself as a pseudo-Ansem. After Riku-Ansem defeats Roxas, [[Ansem the Wise|DiZ]] appears and takes Roxas. After this, DiZ put Roxas into a Simulated Twilight Town, to continue the progress of Sora's awakening.
+On Day 354, Riku temporarily appears as Ansem when he meets up with Mickey in [[Twilight Town#The Woods|the woods]], before returning to his normal form. He warns Mickey that he might fall into darkness during his upcoming fight with a member of Organization XIII, and makes him promise to help Sora once he awakens and to not tell Sora of Riku's fate. As he anticipates, Riku is forced to draw on the power of darkness to subdue [[Roxas]], and he takes the form of Ansem indefinitely. [[Ansem the Wise|DiZ]] arrives to take custody of the unconscious Roxas, and from this time on, Riku deals with DiZ in the assumed persona of Ansem, although he keeps himself hooded.
 ===''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''===
-Riku continues to remain in this form throughout most of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. He helps DiZ awaken Sora and puts Naminé in line when she attempts to contact Roxas. When Roxas tries to enter the Old Mansion, several Nobodies appear, and Riku-Ansem hinders their progression.
+Riku, still in the form of Ansem, helps DiZ with the process of merging Roxas with Sora. He occasionally appears before Roxas in the [[simulated Twilight Town]], and on separate occasions steals the [[Munny Pouch]] and [[Crystal Orb]], which he later gives to Mickey for Sora. He also interrupts [[Naminé]]'s conversation with Roxas, and holds off the Nobodies on the sixth day when Roxas enters the Old Mansion. After Sora awakens, Riku allows [[Axel]] and Naminé to leave freely, despite DiZ's orders to eliminate Naminé.
-He appears again in The Land of Dragons to alert them about the [[Storm Rider]]. Mulan is the first who saw Riku, and tries to catch him. Sora, Donald and Goofy arrive, and with Mulan, go to the [[The Land of Dragons|Summit]] and find Riku. Sora confronts Riku but he escapes and goes to the Imperial Palace to talk with [[the Emperor]]. Riku-Ansem defeats [[Li Shang]] and talks about the [[Storm Rider]]. After this, he leaves the world.
+At the end of the [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless]], Sora, Donald, and Goofy are sent into a Corridor of Darkness by [[Maleficent]]. While they are there, Riku briefly appears, leaving a box containing [[sea-salt ice cream]] and a photo from the simulated Twilight Town, depicting [[Hayner]], [[Pence]], [[Olette]] and Roxas
-Riku-Ansem appears again in [[The World That Never Was]] after Naminé helps Kairi to escape. Saïx appears and attempts to capture the two girls, but Riku arrives with [[Way to the Dawn|his keyblade]] and confronts Saïx, who then escapes. Kairi discovers the truth about Riku through Naminé, and they go see Sora. In the [[Hall of Empty Melodies|Castle That Never Was]] several Shadows appear; Riku summons two Keyblades and hands one to Kairi. After Sora defeats Xigbar, he meets Kairi and Riku-Ansem. At first Sora believes that Riku is [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Xehanort's Heartless]], but he discovers that Riku has taken the form of Xehanort's Heartless. Sora, Kairi, Riku, Donald and Goofy go to confront Xemnas, but first they defeat Saïx and Luxord. In [[Naught's Approach]], Ansem's [[Kingdom Hearts Encoder]] explodes while attempting to turn [[Kingdom Hearts]] into data. Riku is transformed back into his normal form due to this incident.
+He appears again in The Land of Dragons, where [[Mulan]] is investigating rumors of a spy in black. Sora, Donald, and Goofy accompany her to the [[The Land of Dragons#Summit|summit]], where they face a swarm of [[Rapid Thruster]]s. While Donald, Goofy, and Mulan go on ahead, the hooded Riku appears before Sora, and the two fight in the middle of the swarm. After a short battle, Riku runs off, but Sora begins to suspect who he really is. Riku travels to the Imperial Palace, where he subdues [[Li Shang]] before warning [[the Emperor]] of the [[Storm Rider]]. After snarkily commenting that "three wise guys" would take care of things, he leaves the world.
+After Naminé helps Kairi escape her cell in the [[Castle that Never Was]], they are confronted by [[Saïx]] and a pair of [[Berserker]]s. However, Riku appears and takes out the Berserkers with [[Way to the Dawn]] before drive off Saïx. Kairi realizes who he is when Naminé calls him by name, and she removes his hood to reveal Ansem's face. Riku takes Kairi to the upper level of the [[Castle that Never Was#Hall of Empty Melodies|Hall of Empty Melodies]], where Sora is facing a massive wave of [[Shadow]]s. When Shadows attack Kairi, Riku dispatches them and hands Kairi the [[Destiny's Embrace]] Keyblade. He then summons his own Keyblade, and he and Kairi take on the Heartless. After Sora defeats Xigbar and makes his way to the upper level, he meets up with Kairi and Riku. At first Sora believes that Riku is Ansem, but Kairi helps him realize who Riku really is. After an emotional reunion, Sora, Kairi, Riku, Donald and Goofy continue on through the castle, encountering and defeating Luxord and Saïx. In [[Naught's Approach]], Ansem the Wise's [[Kingdom Hearts Encoder]] explodes while attempting to turn [[Kingdom Hearts]] into data. The ensuing explosion causes Riku to return to his true form.
