Jaguar113 13 Posted February 11, 2012 I have noticed this for a while and never thought anything if this till i saw the box artwork for the game kingdom hearts dream drop distance why does riku have a dream eater symbol on his back i know we don't know yet or have any clue why, but just wanted to know what are your ideals for why he would have the symbol on his back. It reminds me of the time when he had the heartless symbol on his chest in kh 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deathrebirthsenshi 279 Posted February 11, 2012 Maybe Riku saves the world while Sora is busy with his heart problems. It could be connected with the fact that he's rising while Sora is falling...i don't know, I'm sick with anticipation! 1 PillowHead reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBucket2 114 Posted February 11, 2012 This isn't just the boxart....he has it in the game, too. I'm surprised you haven't noticed by now. 2 Kinode and Kishira reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oishii 3,987 Posted February 11, 2012 I've wondered that too, and the fact that it's a Spirit symbol and not a Nightmare. Perhaps Sora has a Nightmare symbol on his back but we don't see it because of his giant hood (glad to see Nomura realized his hood should be big enough to fit his hair). What the dramatic twist that would be 1 Kello reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cricket 1,180 Posted February 11, 2012 I wonder about it too, I hope Riku rises in the M.o.M. I just think it is his time to shine. 1 Kishira reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exodaze 491 Posted February 11, 2012 I do think that there's not much of a significance there. It may be because the dream world made a change in their attire. It just happens Riku got the 'Spirit' symbol on his back for added 'coolness' Also, I am quite sure he doesn't even know its there hahaha 2 wayfinder823 and Kishira reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Sideris 1,551 Posted February 11, 2012 Maybe...because.....the darkness is still inside him...at his dream....that's why we see Ansem the seeker of darkness ,too at the trailer.....hmmmm... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arya Stark 1,337 Posted February 11, 2012 Maybe...because.....the darkness is still inside him...at his dream....that's why we see Ansem the seeker of darkness ,too at the trailer.....hmmmm... If that is true than why the spirit symbol and not the nightmarei think it is because riku uses the spirits like power-ups (as i understand) he absorbs their power through the symbol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeybladeMasterBalo 504 Posted February 11, 2012 I asked this a long time ago and no one seemed to care, but what @Rikuva said makes sense. There's only one way to find out now: wait until the game releases, unfortunately... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaguar113 13 Posted February 11, 2012 I was thinking the same thing but in the trailer they show sora saying to himself that if you the mark of mastery test you will not return back to your own world and that's why sora is falling and mickey is trying to reach for his hand Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know, so he can see the symbol on his back...and stuff. > >; 1 lizzie1238 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PrinceWatermelon 59 Posted February 12, 2012 I don't think it means anything. Probably just adding variety in Riku's clothing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizzie1238 538 Posted February 13, 2012 Maybe Riku is actually a dream eater! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deathrebirthsenshi 279 Posted February 17, 2012 Maybe Riku is actually a dream eater! Hey, you know, that could actually make sense. Sora and Riku could probably be technically spirits, helping defeat the nightmares, seeing as they don't actually exist in the realm of sleep and are coming there just to help them out.
