how special is Riku??

[Arausio]

so we know that in CoM riku learns to accept Ansems darkness and use it as his own

while still having his light, in KH2 he used it to its fullest and became Ansem (xehanorts heartless)

in CoM zexion says "no one wears the darkness like he does, its impossible!" or somthing like that

if riku were to appear in the next installment (not Re:Coded) how would you like to see his dark powers improve or change??

and to my next question, does this make riku a walker of both worlds? darkness and light?

 

[Roronoa Zoro]

Does Riku even still have the power of darkness? I thought that was supposed to disappear along with Xemnas.

 

[Turn]

By the end of KH2, the darkness in Riku's heart is overcome. This is realized when he loses the ability to open dark portals and Mickey assures him that he no longer belongs "in the darkness." So no, I wouldn't say he wears that power in quite the way he once did, if at all, at present.

 

[Arausio]

but doesnt he still have some?? i mean he still uses dark shield and dark aura..

 

[Turn]

Oh, that's true! It certainly makes you wonder. :I

 

[Arausio]

i hope somthing gets explain normura has to many plot holes in to many places, it agravates me =/

 

[Roronoa Zoro]

He used those techniques BEFORE Xemnas was defeated. So basically Riku isn't cool anymore.

 

[Arausio]

damn thats right. lol well thanks guys.

 

[Chaos]

I would say Riku is special somewhat to the kh plot. I would like to see some of his dark powers come back. *coughdarkmodecough*

 

[destiny seeker]

Well Riku uses his dark power for good.
I kinda want to see some more but not as much for him to go all the way back to darkness.

 

[Arausio]

dark mode was awsome, i would love to see that come back, i was kinda disapointed with his powers in kh2 =/

but idk people are telling me his dark powers are no more.. =l

We'll it seems they were planing on going somewhere and then decided not to go there with Riku's character. I think he still has darkness in him just not nearly as much as he used to, when XH was in his heart. What remains is his own darkness which he can use but it's not as strong as XH's. I hope they work on his middle path between darkness and light story thing.

No he didn't. Riku said "I'll open a path" and couldn't. But then when everyone except Sora and Riku left Xemnas strikes back again and Riku was STILL using dark powers.

And darkness remains in everyone's hearts. Like MX said in BBS "Darkness cannot be destroyed" so Riku's darkness is still in there. I think Riku just had a stupid moment when he forgot how to use portals.

Well before Ansem's machine went boom, Riku had XH in him, who's darkness Riku could use. I'm guessing that after that his darkness was to week to open a portal.

I don't think XH is completely gone from his heart. I'd say the machine only managed to get rid of enough of XH's darkness that Riku would return to his original appearance.

Yeah I don't think this is the end of Riku's struggle with XH.

 

[AdrianXXII]

Yeah I don't think this is the end of Riku's struggle with XH.

True I think it's even been hinted in an interview that it's not over yet.

 

[Arausio]

i really hope not, maybe master Xehanort will want somthing with him in the future.

 

[Trukybldemstr2]

doesnt mickey use Corridors of Darkness?

 

[skyfoxx]

True I think it's even been hinted in an interview that it's not over yet.

That and Xehanort himself says "I WILL RETURN!!!" right before he explodes. Yeah, it ain't the end of Xehanort's Heartless.

doesnt mickey use Corridors of Darkness

I don't think he's ever used dark powers despite having the dark keyblade.
