 {{Q|What can you possibly think I ever had? Both my body and my heart are fake. But...there is one memory I'll keep...even if it's just a lie! Whether it was a phantom promise or not... I will protect Naminé!|Riku Replica's declaration to protect Naminé.}}
-The Replica was more aggressive and protective than Riku, which is exactly what [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] was looking for. A key difference between the two is that while Riku fears the darkness in his heart, the replica embraces his and wields it effectively. He was also more stubborn, which made him more of an enemy in the game. Another factor is how he searched for his existence nonstop. He seems to (like Sora) get very angry when he's confused, as shown when the Organization members such as Larxene try to trick him. At the end of his life, the replica became much more like the original, becoming sullen and mellow. He often lashed out at anyone who talked back to him, even if they overpowered him. He seemed to be as powerful as Riku was at Hollow Bastion, when Riku was under Ansem's possession.
+Due to being created from Riku's combat data, the Replica lacks his memories and only knows about Riku via secondhand knowledge. Additionally, the Replica is much more aggressive and prone to lashing out. The Replica sees himself as superior to the original Riku as, unlike him, the Replica holds no fear of the darkness in his heart and wields it with mastery Riku lacks.
-The replica clearly seemed to possess true emotions, as he seemed to harbor a close friendship or even outright affection for Naminé, though his belief in it was merely part of the illusion Naminé had created by tampering with Sora's memories while at Castle Oblivion.
+Once he's brainwashed to believe he's the real Riku and that Sora is causes Naminé sorrow, the Replica begins stubbornly attacking his "friend" to chase him off. It only gets worse his memories of vowing to protect Naminé are contradicted by Sora's matching them; making the Replica desire to destroy him to end the confusion.
