Dark Riku being a member in DDD would just mean Demyx was benched in DDD, which would still make it so that they only have 12. They only had 12 in KHIII and Demyx was on the bench rather than being their 13th, so seems they never planned on having him be one of the chosen anyway. --[[User:Vanitas|Vanitas]] ([[User talk:Vanitas|talk]]) 19:48, 3 March 2019 (UTC) | Dark Riku being a member in DDD would just mean Demyx was benched in DDD, which would still make it so that they only have 12.

:He shows up in a black coat and uses a corridor of darkness. It's all but stated that it's the Riku who ends up in the organization. Mickey (confusingly) says that Terra-Xehanort must be the 13th, implying that they believe that Terra-Xehanort wasn't present last time.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 00:16, 4 March 2019 (UTC) | |||
:Okay, we have Ultimania confirmation: "The 12 members who were gathered in KH3D were missing the 13th, Xion, and reserve members Demyx and Vexen." | |||
:So, Dark Riku was there, not Demyx. Demyx must have been benched all the way back in KH3D.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 16:56, 4 March 2019 (UTC) | |||

It would later turn out that Riku Replica's heart had simply gone to the [[Realm of Darkness]] after the loss of his physical body. Wandering the endless realm for over a year, the replica was about to give up holding on to existence and fade away, until he saw the original Riku being attacked by a [[Demon Tower]]. After Riku was swallowed into its darkness, Riku Replica asked Riku if he wanted help, his voice heavily muffled. When Riku asked who he was, the replica revealed his indentity and helped free Riku from the swarm of [[Shadow]]s. However, this had broken the top half of [[Way to the Dawn]] off in the process. Riku left the broken Keyblade behind for Riku Replica to pick up while he and [[the King]] returned to [[Mysterious Tower]] for stronger armaments against the Heartless. | |||
When Riku and the King returned, they were attacked by a [[Demon Tide]] controlled by [[Anti-Aqua]]. The replica entered Riku's heart and asked if he wanted his old Keyblade back, having repaired Way to the Dawn in his absence. Riku thanked him for the offer, but told him he had [[Braveheart|his own Keyblade]]. | |||
When the [[Seven Guardians of Light|Guardians of Light]] took a night to rest before the [[Keyblade War]], Riku sat alone on the beach. He was joined by Riku Replica, whom he knew had taken sanctuary in his heart since their last fight. The replica told Riku that there was one last thing he needed to do, which is why he held on this long. | |||
At the Keyblade Graveyard, [[Dark Riku]] is defeated, yelling that he is the real Riku to the original's confusion; they had assumed Dark Riku was the version of himself back when [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]] possessed him. Riku Replica appeared before Riku in a golden aura, explaining that Dark Riku was actually HIS past self, not Riku's. The replica plunged his fist into Dark Riku, knocking him out of [[Dark Mode]]. Realising his past heart was about to vanish, the replica merged with the vessel and pulled out his past heart. Riku yelled for him to use the vessel for himself. However, he told Riku that the world already had the original; he had no place in it. The empty [[Replica]] deserved to go to somebody else. Riku realized that Riku Replica had been keeping his promise to protect [[Naminé]]. With those final words between them, the replica accepted his fate and faded away with his past heart. | |||

So, this whole time I thought Repliku merged with Riku when he saved him from darkness during the first visit to the RoD. However, upon further reading, apparently Repliku didn't merge with him until the second trip. | |||
This makes sense... except now I'm confused by the first lines they exchange on the beach. | |||
Repliku: How long have you known that I was with you? | |||
Riku: You ''did'' save me. | |||
If Repliku only entered Riku's heart after the fight with Anti-Aqua, what does he mean? Is he saying that Riku, in-between that fight and the talk on the beach, figured out Repliku joined him? And Riku apparently figured it out because he saved him the FIRST time he went to the RoD???? | |||
As an aside, why is it written that Repliku offered Riku the new WttD? I didn't get that from the scene with Anti-Aqua at all. They just... looked at each other, and then Repliku merged with Riku.--[[User:Mikoto|Mikoto]] ([[User talk:Mikoto|talk]]) 10:24, 18 July 2021 (UTC) | |||
