Riku n Vanitas

[ckt004]

From the new Trailer Vanitas has a voice ridiculously similat to Riku and also a fighting style n posting like Riku so do anyone think they have any relationship?? maybe Vanitas is Riku??

 

[ckt004]

by saying vanitas is riku i mean when he take off his mask is going to be riku face

 

[Axel of Ice]

wow... i can tell your new to this forum.

there are not the same person but they both are close with the darkness or something like.

welcome to the forums.

Welcome to the forums.

And just so you know, Riku was only 4-5 years old during BBS. So it wouldn't make sense for him to be Vanitas. However you're right about them being connected in some way...

Welcome to the forums.

I think you're right about them having a connection, there's alot of evidence pointin towards it but i dont think there's any chance of them being the same person

He;s 5.
Vanitas ae connected to each other through their connections to Xehanort.
Same wit Roxas and Ven. Theirconnection is through Sora.

 

[O a t h keeper]

My personal theory (that actually makes very little sense, but I like it anyways) is that Vanitas is none other than... the Riku Replica! Hence the voice, pose, similar outfit, ect.

Of course, that's probably not the case... xD

It's not. Time travel is not a "motif" within the game.
And it never will be.

I believe there was a theory once; something like, Van looks like the hypothetical Nobody of Riku, in that he is the opposite/rival of Ven. If Ven looks like Sora's Nobody, Van should look like what Riku's Nobody would look like.

And how do you know that Riku has a Nobody

He didn't say that Riku had a Nobody. He said that if Riku had a Nobody it would look like Vanitas

You don't know that for a fact. You can't just say that something that hasn't already shown up in the game will NEVER show up in the game. Remember Timeless River? Remember how it's called "Timeless" and you travel there via portal instead of gummi ship? I'm just saying it's possible. But in all likely hood Riku did not travel back in time and become Vanitas.

 

[Bulbasaur]

No. Vanitas is not Riku. Unless he somehow spends his spare time as a 10 year old on DI, I don't think he is Riku. Nomura said that it was "fate" that Ventus and Vanitas sound so similar, so I'm excited to see where that leads.

We got already got enough look alikes
we dont need any more

 

[ROXAS_32]

i doubt vanitas is gonna be any sort of incarnation of Riku, though their dark suits and fighting style mirror each other.... they probably have a connection somewhere though.

( just a little over a month till the truth is revealed...)

 

[.:Mega:.]

If anything, Vanitas has a connection to Ven. Someone already confirmed that Riku's seiyuu doesn't voice him, anyway-- it's much more likely that Sora's does.

YouTube - Vanitas isn't voiced by Mamoru Miyano (Riku), but by Miyu Irino (Sora)!

But Hollow Bastion Riku has the same armor as Vanitas(You all know that) but Riku is only like 3 years old when Birth by SLeep takes place but maybe age doesnt matter in this game FAMILY DOESNT EVENT MATTER:angry: Seriously we have no idea yet.
