Riku was also the first party character that can be fought ''against'' in the same game he is fought ''with'', followed by the Beast, Xion, and later [[Zack]].

*It is stated in [[Director's Secret Report XIII|The Director's Secret Report XIII]] that one of the four untold stories is "the period of Riku's absence" though that has not been further delved into. The other three were about "the period of the King's absence", Roxas's time with the Organization (''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''), and Xehanort's past (''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'').<!--NOMURA SAID THAT HE WAS REFERRING TO MICKEY IN THE REALM OF DARKNESS-->

*An interesting note is that Riku wields Soul Eater, the Kingdom Key and the Keyblade of heart on the opposite side of the handle, with the blade facing down when he is in his battle stance, except as a playable character in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. Even in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and when he is playable in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', he holds Way to the Dawn on the opposite side, though the blade faces a bit to the side.
