Anybody know? Seems like he should since his heart was consumed by darkness and all.

Hmmm...from what I guess, after Xehanort's heartless was killed, Riku gained back possession of his body, and somehow materialized in the other side of the door to darkness, probably because Ansem was in there trying to get a source of darkness, leaving an illusionary copy behind him as he was getting it. From what I can tell, Riku's body never was destroyed, so he never spawned a heartless nor a nobody. Unless the game editors were totally dumb and forgot to realize something, that, for the most part, covers it.--Pkthis 03:42, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

No, don't think so.--Lord Captain Cecil Harvey 00:52, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

NobodyXIII Talk! — Riku, are you sure your not jealous of Sora? Pitiful fools — 02:34, January 5, 2010 (UTC) Wasn't he just possessed by Xehanort's Heartless? I don't think that counts as turning somebody into a heartless. As for the main question, no, I don't think he had either of the two.

Actually, wasn't Riku swallowed by the darkness when Destiny Islands was lost its heart in the beginning of KH1? Either that or he simply "opened his heart to darkness". I believe the game says the latter, as Riku's heart is incredibly strong and resilient as evidenced by his ability to wield the Keyblade.

Arzis: I would have to say he has to have at least a nobody, because his heart did fall to darkness. I think that even if you lose your heart, you still can come back like Riku did.
