because he is possessed, and as well with sora gone he has maleficent putting thoughts in his head. at the end of the first game the possessor comes out to confront sora and his gang. 2nd game riku continues to use the darkness because he believes it is the only way to defeat the possessor from the original game
Yes. Riku will probably always have darkness in his heart, but it won't always overwhelm him. Riku learns, from King Mickey, that light is always present, and that he can't be afraid of the darkness. Riku harnesses the darkness and uses the power to his advantage.
The Oblivion is made of darkness and light and colored black. Riku is consumed by the darkness, so the Oblivion resembles how Riku is.
no no
Ansem persuaded Riku to submit to darkness by convincing him that darkness is superior. Because of Ansem's dark influence, Riku is most likely stuck with a dark heart, although he learns to control and use it to his advantage.
the name to distinguish KH1 Riku. Riku(normal) was the boy on the island, dark Riku was the heartless lord, with the armor previous to ansem, seeker of darkness infiltrating his body, where he is named Riku-ansem. Riku with the cloak is called cloaked Riku, and Riku that looks like ansem, seeker of darkness doesn't have it's own designated name. Claification, dark Riku is the Riku wearing the heartless armor, commands heartless and works for maleficent before ansem, seeker of darkness abducts him.
My opinion Riku is Jealous because he is Darkness and Sora is Light
Riku was supposed to be the Keyblade Weilder, but he had darkness in his heart.
Because when Riku went into the Door to Darkness, the darkness consumed him, so he could use the powers of the dark, look like Xehanort when he was a heartless, and a darkness keyblade.
Since there is a Nobody when there's Heartless, Sora's Heartless "Anti-Sora" wields darkness, since Heartless are beings of darkness. Otherwise, Riku-Ansem is the one who wields darkness, because Riku had released the darkness in his heart to use it.
Unlike Riku, Sora and Kairi didn't have darkness laid dormant in their hearts. Riku needed the blindfold to retain the darkness in his heart that Ansem had created from Kingdom Hearts 1.
SPOILERSRiku never became a Heartless, because he never vanquished his heart but simply submitted to the darkness. His heart was enveloped in darkness and hid Ansem's appearance deep within it. Riku hid the darkness with his black blindfold to prevent Ansem's power from fully overtaking Riku, but when Riku needed to defeat Roxas at Memory's Skyscraper, he removed the blindfold and revealed Riku-Ansem from within.
No, Riku was never in Organization XIII. He wore the cloak because he wanted to hide the darkness in his heart.
