'''Riku-Ansem''' is the form that [[Riku]] takes to capture [[Roxas]], a mission requested by [[Ansem the Wise|DiZ]] to help with [[Sora]]'s awakening and restore his power. Roxas was overpowering Riku during their battle, but Riku was determined not to lose to him, so he removed his blindfold and revealed the dark power of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]] that he had been hiding within him.

Riku takes this form at the end of ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' and continues to remain in this form throughout most of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.

At the end of the [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless]], Sora, Donald, and Goofy are sent into a Corridor of Darkness by [[Maleficent]].

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 [[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. | He appears again in [[The Land of Dragons]], where [[Mulan]] is investigating rumors of a spy in black.

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 driving 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 [[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.

While in Riku-Ansem form, Riku gains complete control over the dark powers of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness. He can levitate, summon [[Xehanort's Guardian|the Guardian]], teleport, and expel bursts of dark energy (though this is only shown when he actually transforms). He also gains his [[Dark Firaga]] ability from his [[Dark Mode]], and a Dark Shield ability (which carries over to his normal form). He can also open and use [[Corridor of Darkness|Corridors of Darkness]]. In this form, he is easily able to defeat Roxas and Li Shang and overpower Saïx, forcing the latter to flee. | While in Riku-Ansem form, Riku gains complete control over the dark powers of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness.
