So, was Riku trying to kill Sora or just trying to defeat him?
I always got the impression he was just trying to defeat Sora, not kill him. He got annoyed when Sora reclaimed the keyblade from him... so that, could, potentially, have been the only time Riku may have tried to kill Sora... though if he had killed Sora, I think Riku would have regretted it.
When he was possessed by Ansem, was Riku in contol/aware at all of what was going on? At that point on, Ansem-Riku was trying to kill Sora to extract Kairi's heart from him. I theorised this in another thread that I believe Riku started to fight back as soon as he was possessed - I can't imagine he would have taken being possessed lightly. He certainly didn't want it to happen in CoM again. He didn't know what Ansem was going to do to him when he agreed to open his heart to darkness. We know he pushed back when Ansem was about to kill Kairi and his heart was then banished to the realm of darkness while Ansem continued to possess his body and shape it to his own preferred form. But in the time of his possession, was Riku a willing participant in trying to kill Sora or was it all Ansem or was Riku's heart sleeping inside his body and was woken by the threat to Kairi?
