Riku: Difference between revisions

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.

Riku's heart makes its way to [[Olympus]], where it is captured by a [[Lich]] before being freed and returned to the Keyblade Graveyard by a newly restored Sora. When Sora frees the rest of his friends' hearts, they reappear together, moments before Terra-Xehanort first appeared.

In his Limit with Sora, Eternal Session, Riku is able to project waves of dark energy from his Keyblade in addition to unleashing fast combos and Dark Firaga barrages. At the end, Sora and Riku toss their Keyblades together to act as a super-damaging magnet.  

His limit, [[Eternal Session]], unleashes a joint attack between Sora and Riku that expels high amounts of damage.

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, 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.

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.
