VeNate13 144 Posted July 16, 2013 Okay so I know this sounds insane but, I was playing bbs and I came to the scene where Terra meets young Riku and then he sees young Riku turn into young Xehanort and then young Xehanort turns into older Riku, and it got me thinking could Riku be Xehanort? I mean in kingdom hearts 3D Sora and Riku traveled back in time and YX was also able to time travel, so maybe Riku travels back in time and loses his memories and ends up becoming Xehanort. So it's possible they can be the same person. And they are a lot alike. Plus there are some more hints that this could be the case. In 3D Riku bumps into a different version of himself wearing a black coat. I mean of course it could be the Repliku or Data Riku but, it could be a past version of Riku that YX went back in time to get cause Riku is really Xehanort. And another small hint in 3D is when YX takes on the appearance of Riku in Sora's eyes for a moment. Of course this is all just in theory. All these hints could just be to show Riku's connection to Xehanort and Terra. But still it's an interesting thought. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PrinceNoctis 1,011 Posted July 16, 2013 I think Riku is a part of the 13 shards of Darkness...the one at the end of KH1 when he's possessed, maybe he's considered as an incarnation of Xehanort and he has been recruited by YMX. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarLea Quinn 26,501 Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) The visions Terra had were to foreshadow the future connection between Riku and Terra : -- What's the meaning behind the several puzzling images in Terra's chapter where we cross over into his mind?Nomura: Firstly, when he hears the name of the masked boy from Master Xehanort at the mysterious wasteland, and we see an image of Aqua and Ventus defeated, that's a hint of the future. On the Destiny Islands, when he makes Riku his successor, he has a special view of him and catches a glimpse of his future. However, this isn't to say that Terra has the ability to see the future - it was a directive nuance intended to portray the future connection between Terra and Riku. As we also know, Riku kinda follows a similiar path to YMX so thats why we see him in comparison to YMX in that scene- not bc he actually is him. They both wanted to leave the island and see other worlds and ended up falling to darkness bc of it .

Since Riku has VERY light skin, and Young Xehanort has really dark skin, I doubt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HarLea Quinn 26,501 Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) True but I still never said they were family. I get that and I'm still pointing out he's not xehanort either since you're the one who thinks those visions were possibly saying that. Also just to point out the obvious, if he was Xehanort he wouldn't have needed to be 'norted ' in DDD if he already was one. He was the org's original target and once they realized he couldn't be used they 'moved down the list'.

rikunobodyxiii 700 Posted July 16, 2013 With how Riku's story has unfolded thus far, I find it highly unlikely that him losing his memory and goes evil really fits. In every game after KH1 has had him trying to atone for what he did when he fell to darkness. Having him just forget and do it again seems like a big waste. 1 luka reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 5,571 Posted July 16, 2013 In 3D Riku bumps into a different version of himself wearing a black coat. I mean of course it could be the Repliku or Data Riku but, it could be a past version of Riku that YX went back in time to get cause Riku is really Xehanort. Did you ignore everything Riku said in that scene? 2 HarLea Quinn and luka reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarLea Quinn 26,501 Posted July 16, 2013 Did you ignore everything Riku said in that scene? Apparently , because Riku says himself what's going on and it's him confronting his own past basically. Not Repliku or Data Riku. 3 luka, Demyx. and Anonn0000 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VeNate13 144 Posted July 17, 2013 Apparently , because Riku says himself what's going on and it's him confronting his own past basically. Not Repliku or Data Riku.But that was just a guess. It could be Repliku or Data Riku. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarLea Quinn 26,501 Posted July 17, 2013 But that was just a guess. It could be Repliku or Data Riku. Not really . He straight up says whats going on . You can try and say that you want it to be that but the scene straight up tells you .Considering that it's also basically showing Riku overcoming past mistakes and moving on so that's another reason why he cannot be used by the org just backs its up. The whole theme of DDD is showing this. It's about Riku and his story/progresssion as Nomura says himself. 2 Demyx. and luka reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VeNate13 144 Posted July 17, 2013 Or maybe it's a version of Riku that's from the past like when he was possessed that's a member of the new Org. XIII. And maybe he somehow goes back in time and loses all memory of what happened and he becomes Xehanort. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luka 23 Posted July 17, 2013 Dude that doesn't even make sense at all. Not to mention only YMX time travels, not all the xehanorts ^^^ 2 HarLea Quinn and Hazimie reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
