khfan02 56 Posted April 18, 2012 Is there any specific reason why Rikuhas short hair now? I always thought it was because it would mess up the 3d a bit cause his hair was too long. Why does Normura shorten it? I hate it that way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why does Normura shorten it? I hate it that way. Possibly to differentiate him from the other Riku that shows up in the one scene in Monstro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolwings 1,546 Posted April 18, 2012 Maybe it has something to do with Riku becoming younger? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coolwings 1,546 Posted April 18, 2012 Why didn't Terra and Aqua become little when they did the MoM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xiggy 26 Posted April 18, 2012 I read somewhere that Riku has his long hair to show the differences between him and Sora in KHII. Now that they're firend anew, he has no reason to keep 'em long. Plus, it must be hard to fight with hair in the eyes. And Riku is so much more sexy with short hair~ 1 Axtwyt reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master Keeper 687 Posted April 18, 2012 Maybe because when he look at his hair he hate how he was in KHII when he got some darkness, so he cut his hair so it wont remind him to what happened. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hyperion 144 Posted April 18, 2012 Why didn't Terra and Aqua become little when they did the MoM Because they didn't have to go into the Dreamworld like Sora and RIku did, all they had to do was fight balls of light/Darkness, then eachother. 2 coolwings and replika13 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
replika13 455 Posted April 18, 2012 Riku just didnt like his popular hair style and wanted to look less angsty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HIK23 5 Posted April 18, 2012 some said that cutting you hair mean a new begining or a sign of renewation..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsunamo 62 Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) some said that cutting you hair mean a new begining or a sign of renewation..... Yeah, I recall a couple of people saying that's what it symbolizes in Japan. So it's probably symbolic of that, to show Riku's getting a new beginning/a new start after redeeming himself after the original Kingdom Hearts.

Kishira 2,854 Posted April 18, 2012 His short hair is adorably sexy. I would not mind if he kept it short for a few more games. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konazumi 1 Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) Lordy....>,> riku cut his hair, most likely to start over. with the japanese, when you cut your hair, it means you looking for a new start at life,. in riku's case- a chance at redemeing himself....like what samurai used to do, when they go rounin....

hatok 6,413 Posted April 18, 2012 I recall an interview where Nomura basically said that Riku didn't have time to cut his hair before KH2, and now that he has a free moment, he did it. Kinda a low tech solution... 1 Kishira reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EdeaKramer 32 Posted April 18, 2012 riku was f*cking sexy with his long hair the most logic explanation would be like you said about the 3DS, Nomura would probably turn into something like a "fresh" new start for Riku after his dark path (actually I think that was the reason as said in an interview but not sure) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sorariku17 37 Posted April 18, 2012 now the question is...why has soras hair not grown at all! http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smiley-confuse.png he didn't have time to cut it too, i think ansem the wise molested sora when he was sleeping with his fetish of cutting small boys hair off to make them look young.

Shiion 16 Posted April 18, 2012 I can not imagine Sora's hair more longer than that while keeping the same hairstyle. http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smiley-confuse.png Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, Nomura seems to attach importance to Riku's hair length, but not with Sora, that's very strange... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O.o my imagination is.....weird... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
