hatok 6,413 Posted October 17, 2012 Days not only established that one could easily visit the Destiny Islands, but that Riku visited the place frequently. Despite this, he never attempts to make contact with Kairi, who has been worried about him, and who he knows is a person at risk, on account of her being a princess of heart. Neither does he try to help Sora in that regard, by letting him visit her or something In KH2 it was implied that Sora didn't have the means to get to the Destiny Islands... but in reality, it seems it was very easy to access, and nobody actually cared enough about Kairi to check on her 2 Kirux and Nafees Rahman reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coolwings 1,546 Posted October 17, 2012 Hatok... don't you remember in KH2 http://kh13.com/videos/kh2/eng-cut/569-back-to-the-way-he-was/ Riku said he didn't want to face anyone back on the islands, especially back then. He thought everyone hated him so he avoided Kairi. 2 Queen Tery and MyDixieRect reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He thought everyone hated him so he avoided Kairi. Yes, I thought about that.Doesn't explain why he wouldn't want SORA to go there Or why he wouldn't risk his pride to defend one of the seven people that can bring about the apocalypse. Or at least acknowledge that he survived Or that SORA did He doesn't even have to face them. A letter would be fine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hatok 6,413 Posted October 17, 2012 Who said he didn't want Sora to go there, Sora was asleep remember When he wakes up?Or just move him to Destiny Islands? They moved him to Twilight Town, so it can't be that hard 1 Young Master Xehanort reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolwings 1,546 Posted October 17, 2012 Because Riku was giving Sora clues to find Xemnas. and again if Riku were to take Sora to Kairi he would have to encounter Sora, which he didn't want to do. and Riku and DiZ wanted Sora to defeat Xemnas, so if Riku took Sora to Kairi, he would think Sora would stay there while Xemnas gets stronger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coolwings 1,546 Posted October 17, 2012 Riku DID encounter Sora though He could easily have had a portal open that would take Sora to the islands Yeah but then again he wants Sora to defeat Xemnas, getting Kairi involved would just cause more trouble, 1 Queen Tery reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zephyr_320 65 Posted October 17, 2012 man he just doesnt get it does he? in days riku didnt go because he was looking out for sora bcuz of c.o.m. in kh2 riku didnt go bcuz what coolwings said plus he was defending her by staying away,....Xemnas wanted Sora to use his keyblade to vanquish heartless so going to the islands would be just stupid,.....

A letter would be fine Yeah, but if you think about it Kairi/Selphie didn't really didn't really care about Riku all that much given that one cutscene in KHII. "You mean Riku?" "No some other guy I don't remember so he's totes more important." Give me a break Kairi. uuuuugh 1 Demyx. reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 5,715 Posted October 17, 2012 Well, admittedly, it would be even more of a dick move to try and sidle up to the girl whom he attempted to steal the heart of, even more so when he had a very big part in trying to destroy the world. At least not without buying her dinner first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kishira 2,854 Posted October 17, 2012 But the Nobodies had a tendency to show up on whatever world Sora happend to be on, and Destiny Island for whatever reason was ignored. Why would Riku risk suddenly giving the Org./Nobodies a reason to be there? And say Sora did show up, Kairi was pretty gung-ho about helping Sora in the 1st KH, wnat would stop her from doing that again? I don't think Riku would want to risk her being in danger. ....and doesn't Kairi noteven remember him? Wouldn't Sora be...a little bumbed out by that?

Ruran 481 Posted October 17, 2012 Days was the bane of Riku's character imo. Though some things should be kept in mind. (In no particular order) -Riku was ashamed of what he did and didn't feel that he deserved to be in either Sora nor Kairi's presence. He did a lot of awful things in the first game, knows it, and feels that he has to be punished for it, punished by not facing them until he feels that he can be forgiven or even go as far as remove him self from the SRK trio altogether. -He figured Kairi was better off without him, and at worst, blamed him for what happened. Riku was manipulated but nonetheless he was the one who sunk DI into darkness, got her heart ripped from her body and trapped in Sora, and tried to kill Sora also never realizing that her heart was within him. -Riku never tried to hinder Sora from seeing Kairi, for all intensive purposes, Sora completing his mission of defeating Organization XIII was way more important than Sora making a house call to his not girlfriend and chilling out on the beach. He had time for that afterwards and if anything, Sora paying Kairi a visit with Org.XIII still lurking about may have been more hazardous to Kairi seeing as they were stalking Sora and apparently didn't consider her important until later. -That last one also brings me to Sora himself not wanting to see Kairi until he found Riku. It was part of his promise that he would bring Riku back to Kairi and back home and felt that he couldn't go home until his obligation was complete. -It's pretty apparent that Riku was keeping an eye on Kairi from afar (kind of creepy now that I think about it). He was the one who followed Axel to DI, bringing Pluto with him, and opened that CoD for them to escape. Then managed to track her down again in TWTNW. -Kairi was fine and didn't need anyone to check on her regardless. DI was darkness free and not even the Organization considered Kairi important to there plans or anything until later because of Axel and by that time he had defected from the Org. and his planes for were much different from there's who used her on the fly. 1 Kishira reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VisitJoan 2,713 Posted October 17, 2012 Riku DID encounter Sora though Until they go to the Castle That Never Was, Riku's encounters with Sora were either while Sora was sleeping, or with his hood up. Sora had no idea that it even was Riku so Riku didn't need to worry being ashamed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shera Wizard 2,736 Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) Because Riku was giving Sora clues to find Xemnas. and again if Riku were to take Sora to Kairi he would have to encounter Sora, which he didn't want to do. and Riku and DiZ wanted Sora to defeat Xemnas, so if Riku took Sora to Kairi, he would think Sora would stay there while Xemnas gets stronger wait wait. WAIT WAIT WAIT... Does that mean DiZ used Roxas for revenge against the organization and USED Sora to defeat Xemnas? I'm sorry if I was that stupid...
