![]() ![]() ![]() After that, Riku Replica runs away, leaving Sora behind, confused.Īround this point, Vexen loses control of the Riku Replica, allowing it to go missing within the castle. Hearing Sora say "together", Riku Replica is filled with sadness and rage and he screams his true feelings at Sora, telling him that he was always trying to worm his way into his heart and that it never mattered to him how he felt. Riku Replica, defeated, felt even more anger when Sora offers his help so they could protect Naminé together. ![]() Hoping to regain his friend, Sora offers to jog Riku Replica's memory, but nothing works, and a fight ensues. Riku Replica later encounters Sora in Castle Oblivion's 8th floor, where he urges Sora to leave, as he would protect Naminé. Sora manages to defeat the replica, who then escapes. Sora's first encounter with the replica confuses the Keyblade wielder. However, he is quickly knocked out and Naminé is ordered to rewrite the replica's memory.Īfter having his memory rewritten, Riku Replica swore to protect Naminé, and saw Sora as a threat, feeling already betrayed by him as he thought Sora didn't care for him and cared only for Kairi. Fearing that he would lose his memory, Riku Replica assaulted Larxene. Riku Replica, upon hearing Larxene's idea, rejects it, saying that he did not need his original's pitiful memories, but all the members began to agree upon Larxene's plan. Larxene suggests that Riku Replica's memories should be rewritten to be the same as the original's so he would become a much stronger and more useful tool. The Organization members later change their plans, hoping to turn Sora into their puppet and overthrow the Organization. However, the replica denies any fault of this, saying that his powers had not grown enough, which results in her bashing him into the wall calling him "nothing but a mere toy". Riku Replica escapes, and eventually ends up in the Organization's chambers, where Larxene taunts Riku Replica over his loss. Riku then attempts to destroy the Replica, but fails when the Riku Replica utilizes the power of Darkness. Due to the short time of Riku Replica's existence, he lacked experience and is quickly defeated by the original. At first Riku is shocked to see his counterpart however, after the original heard the Riku Replica's taunts, a battle begins. The Riku Replica was created by Vexen in order to test Riku's strength, and hopefully cause Riku's heart to return to the Darkness. His suit is similar to that of Vanitas's, having a certain muscular quality, and his sword, Soul Eater, has a small blue emblem similar to Vanitas's Void Gear. He initially appears in Riku's standard outfit, but quickly shifts into his Dark Mode form, and remains in the latter outfit for the remainder of his appearance. The Riku Replica is physically identical to Riku as he appears in Kingdom Hearts, sporting the same skin tone, bright blue eyes, and shoulder-length silver hair. The Replica seemed to possess true emotions, as he possessed a dogged determination to protect Naminé, and on occasion, outright affection for her, though his belief in it was merely part of the illusion Naminé had created by tampering with Sora's memories while at Castle Oblivion. He seemed to be similar in strength to Riku at the latter end of Kingdom Hearts, when the original was under the influence of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness. ![]() He often lashed out at anyone who talked back to him, even if they overpowered him. He tended to become angry when faced with confusion of any sort, in a way similar to Sora, as shown when the Organization members, and more specifically, Larxene and Vexen, deceived him.Īt the end of his life, the Replica became much more like the original, turning sullen and mellow. Another prominent factor was his determined search to discover more about his existence. He was also more stubborn, contributing to the fact that he was a persistent enemy throughout the game. A key difference between the two was as follows: while Riku feared the darkness in his heart, the Replica embraced his and wielded it effectively. The Replica was more aggressive and protective than Riku. ![]()
