the concept of keyblades is a complicated matter. Especially when it comes to Riku. To answer the main question. I will put it simply. As shocking as it may be, Riku is actually the real Keyblade Master. Yes it is shocking but it has been referenced several times. Riku tells Sora directly but he doesn't believe him. After you beat the first visit to Hollow Bastion, Jiminy will write it in his journal. Even in Birth by Sleep, Ventas, Terra, & Aqua receive a prophecy that it will pass on to Riku & they even perform a ritual to ensure it. With all this, most people wonder why the Keyblade didnt go to him in the start. Well it was actually supposed to. The tutorial level (Awakening) was a dream that Sora had but Riku was the one who was supposed to have it. When Riku chose to open himself to darkness, he cast aside his destiny. Sora, my touching him, escaped from the darkness, and thanks to the pureness in his heart, the weapon passed on to him. However, Riku still maintained the power the keyblade bestows. This allowed his power with the Soul Eater Keyblade, and eventually let him claim the Kingdom Key from Sora. In Kingdom Hearts 358 over 2 days, Riku is able to pick up Xion's keyblade, however, it being fake, anyone could do it. Even someone who'd never held a keyblade before. However, the question is also posed why he stole oblivion from Roxas in their fight at the alley of naught. This is simple. The keyblade is linked to the heart. Without a heart, nobodies cant retain even thier own weapons. Sora is the only keyblade master who can call back the keyblade to him. Roxas & Xion can't. That is also why Roxas (Faded Memory) was so suprised when Sora summoned it back in the Station of Serenity fight. Finally the question of Sora and Riku being able to hold each others keyblades in the fight against Ethereal Xemnas. Though this is partial to the rule that keyblade masters can temporarily weild each others keyblades, it mainly is because Riku & Sora share a bond with the ONE KEYBLADE that rules them all (Sora's) and thus maintain a sort of combined power. This is why Sora and Riku both touched the keyblade to shoot that beam through xemnas. In order to access the complete power of the one keyblade both Sora and Rikus power are needed. On a final note, Riku's once dark keyblade (Soul Eater) is transformed into a balance of light & darkness (Way to the Dawn) This is a symbol of Riku casting aside the darkness and embracing the true light within himself. It is marked by Roxas rejoining Sora. As the end of one being that balances light and dark, so begins a new one.

Can Sora Use way to the dawn in Kingdom Hearts 2?

He can't. That is Riku's keyblade. actually, he can because as long as you're a keyblade master, you can use anyones keyblade. for example, at the end of KH2 when sora killed Xemnas, or when riku gave kairi her keyblade.


How did Riku get Kairi a keyblade for her?

well technically, Sora's Keyblade is Rikus, as Terra chose Riku, not Sora. Sora was given it as Riku gave into the Darkness. The reason his sword became a Keyblade is as he was no longer evil and could now wield a keyblade


How do you play riku in kingdom hearts Chain of Memories?

when sora gets trapped by final xemnas you have to use riku to free him, that copy that xemnas does is quite frustrating you need to attack him or he will push you back to the start and you will not be able to save sora,when you get close to the real xemnas a RC(reaction command) will appear on the command box JUST PRESS IT and done


Why does riku turn evil?

When Goku came to earth he was originally evil. But he fell on his head and it changed him in some way and made him the way he his. If someone were to hit him in the head a certain way, then it is possible that he would regain the evil part of him that he lost and destroy the world.


What is the ending to Kingdom Hearts 3?

This is also the beginning of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Sora says goodbye to Kairi, then he is on this road which breaks into two paths. He then takes the right path, and falls asleep. Look into the beginning of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories to see the rest.The real ending can only be viewed if you seal every single world, including Olympus, and get all 99 dalmatian puppies, and max out the journalAfter defeating Ansem, you will see two hooded guys fighting in a dark futuristic city, The World that Never Was, with one of the guys wielding two keyblades at once, along with neo shadows, the upgrades of the little tykes you fight in the first game.the two guys are riku and roxas(add to this, some people believe that this ties with the 3rd game)Actually, Kingdom Hearts 2 shows the opening of Chain of Memories.Sora and Kairi reunite, only to be parted by a huge crack. Sora promises to come back for her, and Kairi watches helplessly as Sora disappears.

In Kingdom Hearts 2 can you get rikus keyblade?

Unfortuantely, no. But you can use it while playing as Riku while trying to save Sora from Xemnas's clutches in the last battle of the game. At the end of the game after Sora and Riku deflect the fire beams, Riku will be attacked and Xemnas will try to kill Sora, but Riku pushes Sora out of the way and gets hit instead and as he's flying he calls for Sora to grab his keyblade, and Sora will jump and grab Riku's keyblade and use it to perform one of Sora's best finishing moves, Omnislash.

Riku uses various weapons throughout the Kingdom Hearts storyline. He is seen with the Soul Eater and the Keyblade of People's Hearts in the first Kingdom Hearts. In Kingdom Hearts II, he uses the Oblivion Keyblade and a Keyblade known as The Way to Dawn.If you're asking what element Riku fights with, then the answer is darkness. Riku naturally had a hint of darkness in his heart, but it was further awakened due to the influence of Maleficent and Ansem's Heartless during the events of the first Kingdom Hearts. In the video game, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Riku's main attacks consist of dominantly dark-based moves, such as Dark Aura and Dark Firaga.

Who is stronger aqua or Sora?

It would appear that Sora is, indeed, the stronger of the two. Despite protest that Riku is more 'muscled' then Sora, one must note that Sora has shown himself to be able to cut through entire buildings duing his fight with Xemnas, be able to use powerful types of magic, defeat powerful foes such as Cloud, Tifa, Yuffie, and Leon on his own, along with Sephiroth singlehandedly, defeat incredibly powerful opponents, even gods for instance (Hades and Chernabog), and many other strange, thought-impossible, and incredible feats throughout his adventures. My guess is that, while it is unlikely that they will fight with the intent to kill the other after the KH2 ending, Sora would the victor over the two. 'Bigger muscles' don't mean squat in anime, manga, or Japanese games. ______________________________________________________________ I think that they both are pretty equal. Sora is the keyblade wielder, but that is only because he chose light over darkness. But Riku couldn't beat Roxas without Ansem, and Roxas is part Sora. In Kingdom Hearts 1 when they were kids Riku always won, but Sora gained so much power during his journeys as well as Riku. I'm going with Sora. I'm a different person from the one who first submitted the above answer, but I think Riku is stronger than Sora. In Kingdom Hearts CoM (Chain of Memories) Riku's jump is higher, he is faster, and he defeats his enemies more easily than Sora. Yes, Sora has gotten stronger throughout the course of the games, but I think that Riku is the stronger one. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KHCM show that in there default form,Riku is far stronger than Sora.Roxas after a year of of fighting in OXIII was stronger than Riku. Since Roxas combined with Sora afterwards...you can guess that Sora now have Roxas abilities as well. With that Sora is decisively stronger than Riku
