Why Riku Was At Shibuya - Kingdom Hearts 3 ReMind

Sora has been transported to another realm and so has Riku! With the end of Kingdom Hearts 3 the two Heroes find themselves far from home, for Sora it makes sense, but not so much for Riku...

Personally, I'm just wondering in regards to the upcoming KHIV, if Sora did lose the Keyblade he had; will he gain a whole new Keyblade or inherit one from a previous Keyblade Master, one Sora may have yet to encounter.

@@evalynehicks343 So Persona 1 came out in 1996 and wasnt that Jojo inspired and was more a strange acid trip, also Main line Shin Megami Tensei started on the Super Famicom as one of the System's jrpg all stars alongside FF4,5&6 and Dragon Quest 5 and 6. The series has a heritage that should be respected and isnt a jojo rip off. As for TWEWY I'd say it has far more in comon with Mainline Shin Megami Tensei and the Devil Survior spinoff then Persona espacly devil survior as that game sees a group of kids in a fight for survival as demons complete in a Game to decide who will be the next King of Bable in the middle of downtwon Toyko so it's up to you to survive, save allies from invitable deaths and end this war of demons before it spreads to the rest of the world.

I don't think Riku will have an issue with the power of waking like Sora did because he is traversing to a single world for a single heart. Sora went through numerous world's for numerous hearts, which constitutes abusing the power.

[@davidtimmer596]

Only 4 of the Foretellers, because there's still Ava who's missing, and maybe she could also play a part in trying to help Sora get back home. Riku would still have his Keyblade definitely, but your idea on Sora's improper use of the Power of Waking causing him to lose his Keyblade is very interesting. Because with Sora, usually everything is straightforward with him and so that's his mindset, and while he may try to make the most of it, and find a straightforward way to get back home, because he misses his friends who are concerned about his sudden disappearance, and especially Kairi, who may still be his only tether, this time, it's not as simple, and the long term ramifications for what Sora did in the Keyblade war could take a heavier toll on his psyche than the Keyblade War did when everyone got bodied and even Sora himself. I think Ava may be Kairi's ancestor, which could be a thing with the black pieces, and Ava's disappearance when the other Foretellers came back via Luxu(Xigbar). So there's the Master of Masters, who sees Sora as an anomaly and may wanna dispose of him due to him misusing the Power of Waking, Luxu, who we still don't know where he'll go from here after the whole Xehanort fiasco, The other 4 Foretellers may learn about Sora from Luxu(Xigbar) and finally Ava, who may be connected to Kairi, because like Ava, Kairi was preserving the light, so everyone had a fighting chance, and of course, like Kairi, Ava's main color is pink, and partially, because of her strong love and faith for Sora to triumph is part of why Sora still had a chance to save everyone else. Ava could scold Sora for his reckless use of the Power of Waking, but still understand Sora's devotion and decide to help him. Now Riku, obviously would get his bro back, and the idea that he could warn Sora about the Foretellers and Luxu about the whole thing may make sense.

[@tonyinfinite5174]

Data Roxas I’m sure she’s gonna have some hand in returning Sora for sure, I don’t wanna take this secret movie as fact that she wont. I think Riku is here because he’s looking for Sora of course, he must’ve opened a gate or something that takes him here and he’s confused looking because he didn’t ask to, or rather know he was coming here. As for Kairi, I’m sure she’ll have some time in the next game where Yen Sid or whoever tells her she shouldn’t go recklessly looking for him, I wouldn’t be surprised if when this secret movie comes to fruition if Kairi doesn’t simply just go with Riku.

[@davidtimmer596]

@@SSlash Yeah, Yen Sid could point out that she's still new to the Keyblade and the war shows that she needs more experience, so he assigns Aqua as her teacher, which could be a good thing for her, because let's be honest, Merlin was not a good choice for both Kairi and Lea, because all he ever does is teach magic, and the magic minigame in Kingdom Hearts 1 was completely pointless.

[@Dark_Tale]

Considering its Nomura, I am going to assume the next game will have some new gameplay style unlike anything we have seen in previous games. Really looking forward to seeing what that will be. I actually really loved the Card System of Chain of Memories and the Flowmotion of DDD. So really interested to see what Nomura has in mind for this next in between the Numbers game.

[@SubduedRadical]

To each their own, but I honestly disliked both. I feel like the card system COULD be good if it wasn't so clunky (trying to move while shuffling through cards can be a pita). It added some strategic depth but at the cost of playability. Flowmotion, on the other hand, I just don't like. While Sora's always been acrobatic, flowmotion is just flying all over the place for "free". No glide, no Form gauge, no limit meter, etc. While it's cool in games for occasional fights to actually let you be superpowered, it being just a gimmick all the time can be old. Not only that, it's all kinds of wonky, and I hated the immersion breaking waves on the walls everywhere in KH3 which were connected to it, too.

[@evalynehicks343]

People seem to forget that in the canon that Neku is 100% dead, and Sora more than likely "died" at the end of the game. What does that mean? They're in Shibuya. Reaper's Gane. Doesn't matter how Nomura tries to say it isn't TWEWY, it clearly is.

[@evalynehicks343]

*Game. Fucking mobile keyboard.

[@lukejennings1778]

Evan Hicks he said that it wasn't the Shibuya we see in TWEWY... of course, there isn't just one Shibuya that we see in that game as Another Day is NOT the UG, sooo... yeah

[@GamerKonata]

Not only that, but Shinjuku was destroyed in TWEWY Final Remix. So, if Sora did erase himself by using the power of waking, and Riku went after him, it makes sense why he'd end up in Shinjuku instead of Shibuya's UG. Also, taking note of Yozora's obvious Noctis parallel's, in Nomura's original vision of FF vs XIII, Noctis had the power to see into the afterlife. If this is the case, the two colored eyes would make sense since they both symbolize the RG (represented in Riku's scenes by the color blue) and the UG (represented in Sora's scenes by the color red). Basically, Nomura might be creating his own shared universe.

Yeah, and hopefully have a better teacher in Aqua, because let's be honest, someone actually with Keyblade experience would be better for her in the long run than two lazy wizards, one who sits in his tower and spouts exposition for what's happening and doesn't bother teaching Sora anything, and another who just uses Furniture as dummies for magic, and Merlin doesn't even have a Keyblade, so why would he be qualified for teaching Kairi, or Lea anything about it. I think Aqua's the best choice for her, because she's the only one who was formally trained along with Terra and Ven, and may have some tricks or two up her sleeve that Kairi could pick up on, and I know Terra's not master in rank, but he's at the same level, and he could help Aqua teach her.

I wish this bridge game from KH3-4 wouldn't of had Sora in it(if the Yozura secret movie is for the bridge game, and not KH4), or he doesn't make an appearance until the end. The bridge game could of had Riku as the primary character, and maybe at certain parts, like in KH3, you play as other characters. I don't know if the purpose of the game would be trying to retrieve Sora, or if it would just build up the next threat, but Sora disappearing should be more impactful by having him absent for at the very least this bridge game. Then he could have had a big comeback in KH4(like at the start of KH2. Maybe you'd even be Roxas again(one can dream)). Speaking of Roxas I think it would of been cool for Roxas to go after Sora. A DDD type game, but switching between Sora, and Roxas would be amazing.

But Riku never lost his heart. That's how nobodies are created. He may have fallen to darkness but there was never an incident where his heart left his body. So I'm sorry to say that Yozora being his nobody is impossible. Also, Ansem Seeker of Darkness is technically not his heartless, he was just a pawn of Xehanort's because it's his heartless who stole Riku's body. You could say that Ansem SoD is part of Riku's darkness but he is not Riku's Heartless, it's Xehanort's heartless. Or if we want to go further, it's also Terra's heartless while Xemnas is his body (the one that Xehanort stole from Terra)

[@noahdean9685]

@@lilli7040 okay Maybe just like the nobodies the organization 13 the heartless can have human forms as well have you thought of that?

[@lilli7040]

I never denied heartless having human forms. I'm only saying that the owner of the heartless Ansem SoD (who is the only known most humanoid heartless we know) is not Riku but Xehanort. Xehanort only took control of Riku's body to take his body(which led to Ansem SoD having a physical form), it does not equate to Ansem SoD being Riku's heartless. Also, it's already confirmed that the organization XIII heartless were so unimportant (most likely mob heartless) that they were never mentioned and in an Ultimania interview, Nomura said they were destroyed at one point or else the Organization XIII would not have been able to revert back to humans. If you did not know, a heartless and nobody are formed when one lose their hearts. The strength of a Nobody is how strong one's will is. The strength of a Heartless is how much one falls into darkness. You might think that Riku's heart was full of darkness that Ansem SoD was his. But if Riku never lost his heart, he's unable to create a heartless/nobody in the first place. His heart has been taken control of by Xehanort (much like Terra) but if there wasn't a keyblade stabbed on his heart, or any actions for his heart separated from his body, then Riku is unable to create it. (Unless you show me if there's a scene that Riku really did lose his heart and his heart flew out of his body or something (like Sora), then I'm sorry to say that your initial theory of Yozora being Riku's nobody is very much impossible.)

[@ven430]

but what about the Kingdom Hearts III Boxart since it may connect to the serect ending with sora & Riku

[@RFDN0]

My guess is that Riku is going after Sora because they need him and the X-blade to face the bigger threat. The game could be focusing on Kairi or Riku as main characters and have Riku going after Sora be the segment before the games end. This could be the lead up to kingdom hearts 4 beginning. It's not verified that Sora is facing the fortellers, Luxu and the master of masters alone. All that was shown was that they were on the other board and that Eraquis was going to place Sora's piece on the board again. We can assume Ava was the victor of the first keyblade war which would infer she got her own X-blade. From lore we know the "first" X-blade was destroyed and split into 20 pieces. 13 dark 7 light pieces were specified. What if this was Ava's heart. 7 pieces of light could refer to the princess of heart and the 13 to another group or just artifacts. The mid point game could be the reconstruction of Ava. With the ending or second between game being the master of masters returning with Sora and Riku. Actually if Ava is connected to the princesses of heart we might have Kairi become possessed by her and be how she comes back into the game. That would add an additional emotional issue for Sora and even tie into the false light reference in the game.

[@RFDN0]

@@yungbreezy36 out of all the characters currently in the land of the living she is the one who doesn't need to be nerfed and has a reason to start a journey. And a portion of what I said previously was that she gets possessed to bring Ava back to give emotional issues for Sora in KH4.

Ever since I saw Yozora and after seeing the secret ending, I always felt like Riku & Yozora are related somehow. Since they look so similar. I mean, there has to be a reason for it. Right? This might not mean much but, I watch a lot of Japanese animes, and usually when two characters look similar, there's usually a meaning behind the two. Not to say that's always the case, but just a theory. But in all honestly, I hope there is a reason why Riku & Yozora look alike. In the Toy Box world, Goofy even draws attention to Riku & Yozora looking similar to each other. So, is Papa Nomura trying to tell us something? Well, I hope it's revealed.

What if this is a cutscene based on an endgame/midgame event? Like Another Story. Maybe Shibuya is the final world and it's split into two (Realground and Underground). Something happens and sends Riku and Sora to Shibuya. Riku is in one instance of the world, Sora is in the other. MOM exists in both and he's in the last phase of his plan.

[@shinjihinako]

second is the time travelr yozora is a spin of riku in a ff15 versus, that takes place on the journey of noctis and stella. but this time he meets noctis in the world of shinjiku and meets noctis and friends. tries to save stella but fails as he fallen into darkness. then timetravel activates as riku summons to here because of this reason of noctis fallen to darkness because of that and sora jumping to here from that reason. of failure and halves his body is in here for a second chance. and riku then jumps forcefully jumps the next time because of that

[@Sykamori]

Maybe Sora gets there due to his haphazard time changing powers, Ricky goes to try and save him DDD style by using the same power, Riku ends up fading or dying, causing a major plot point for Sora’s maturity. I’d hate it too, and maybe that writing just is too main stream. But it would be interesting.

[@Quatr0Kant0s]

Remember when the fairy godmother approached Riku. She said that they can try to search Sora through his dreams. Now. Remember when Sora meets Yozora? Yozora stated that they are not in the real world. And He stated that It is not his real form. Which implies that they are in a dream. Plus see what happens when Yozora was defeated? He woke up from the dream. Riku end up in the imaginary world following Sora's dream just like he did in Dream Drop Distance.

[@t.m.f708]

Just a little thought if they wanna be tricky with the story to me it doesn't look like riku was look for sora but possibly for something else because it looks like sora is just waking up unlike riku already awake so that trump card that luxord gave him probably brought him back or something cuz there's still that mystery and luxord did say it might help change the odds

[@yozora2274]

Yozora looks like an interesting character

[@AeroXIII]

Finally, someone has come to a theory/explanation to my question!

[@galacticsongbird]

Man just gave me a geography lesson of Tokyo

[@Vexxus0]

Be crazy if it's all a dream world and that's how Riku got there cause he's sora's dream eater/nightmare.

[@fujimori145]

This has nothing to do with this but I want sora to be able to run across any wall and swim in any water spot he wants if it’s deep enough-

[@jesielcardenales6193]

Sora suppose lost the keyblade after saving ven and roxes

[@ichigoaso1494]

I think not cuz if u look at the 1st game the Kingdom key was only with sora cuz of his connection to ven after bbs. Then Riku won over said Kingdom key do to the fact he went for the keyblade ceremony(so did not need to have a keyblade choose him), but sora had not. Sora then won over said Kingdom key with the power of his heart. Making him an official keyblade wielder. So in short sora in beginning only had a keyblade cuz of his heart being connected to ven's but then earns a keyblade of his own. So losing said connections would not result in him losing the Keyblade.(by connections i mean a part of their heart resting in sora's heart)

[@LilDLD88]

Riku is a nobody sorry for spoiling it for y’all. Yazora is Riku’s real person and the dark Riku is his heartless and Riku is his nobody. Yazora was brought back like Sora when he was given another heart from the missing foreteller. Or from Luxu which was in the chest.

Hate to put this out there, but most likely sora sacrificed his body(a vessel) for kairis hearts wherever he may have found it using the power of waking. The only keyblade we know of that he posseses that could release his heart and give up his vessel being the X-blade, which has been shown to follow diffrent rules from regular keyblades. Possibly accidently using the power of KH he transports his heart into another vessel in shibuya, as well as riku who is tied directly to sora's heart from the mark of mastery exam. This is just a idea but hey, people believed the whole theory where kh3 was mostly sora retrying the whole situation until he got a solution to get kairi back(which would explain why riku is in a sorta dream eater outfit after being consumed by darkness in the dark realm)

[@lukejennings1778]

We still don't have a date for Re:Mind, do we?

[@thatguyukno41]

I think all we known is that its coming out in the winter sometime

[@lukejennings1778]

thatguy youkno well for me, that's summer (I'm Aussie)... Glad to know I didn't miss the reveal lol

[@shinjihinako]

riku jumps into sora world of shibuya because of his soul of heart went into the portal as the same time sora vanish. because of their bond in ddd and crest of master

[@NightSkyVII]

I wish the next kh game is like bbs gameplay where u can meld commands also get abilities. Its really fun

[@zerozer0298]

All I want is a happy ending for Vanitas, even though he is made of the pure darkness from Ventus's heart, he, like Roxas, deserves to be his own person

[@ZeldaGrossmeister]

Kingdom Hearts Far From Home

[@tumaini4407]

I would also like to point out that Eraqus could’ve just started to place the chess pieces if light in the board meaning there could be more keyblade wielders to show up

[@thomaskessler5904]

Welp now we know Riku was just having a dream

[@axels3188]

I think that Riku is in Shinjuko because he believes its his Job to bring Sora back and when they gey back they find out the worlds are in trouble of Luxu and the Fortellers.

[@NunyaBisnis1993]

Honestly, I wouldn't mind to see Sora's arc end and start a new arc with Riku as the main playable character, plus still having the Disney and Final Fantasy mix up. But focus a bit more on the Final Fantasy aspect and worlds, since Riku is written a bit more seriously than Sora. I love my boy, but it's time Riku got some spotlight.

[@gracekim25]

Ok this is not a theory but what if The MOM caused Riku to appear in SHINJUKU? (That is where Riku is not Shibuya) and what if both Riku and Sora have to go through two different Reaper’s games observed by the MOM.

[@jb0258]

Shout out to HMK for keeping the kingdom hearts hype alive! A true fan making content for other true fans :D thank you for not giving up on the kh content after kh3 came out (like other kh youtubers)

[@Bajoggles]

He was there just because it's a dream

[@3tymology]

My theory is riku is there for sora but not to retrieve him but to be after him if you look at his eyes one is the same as zigbars eye so i feel like zigbar is in his heart and trying to exploit sora and his friendship

[@introvertednerd0252]

If they both cone back and see every world destroyed and kh4 is that they will find out who did it and fight MOM and the foretellers, the movie inbetween will tell how they destroyed everything and everyone like kairi, lea, aqua, everyone esle tried to stop them and fail.

[@aidandsouza2005]

I cant believe you like zelda and kingdom hearts like my all time favourite franchises

[@Infinikyz]

*HMK:* why is riku there? *Intellectual:* There love goes beyond worlds. Nothing can stop it

[@peachymarrs9282]

Maybe in KH4(Kingdom hearts 4)Yozora will come in or this entire time Yozora is a Riku counterpart but Riku being there strengthened the Connection of them being Counterparts? And maybe the next game will be called Kingdom hearts Reconnect will be a mobile game or Kingdom hearts 4?

[@cjh3llhound883]

Bruh a co-op KH game with sora and riku both as playable characters with drop in drop out connectivity. KH4 needs to implement that.

[@Chris-vy7yk]

I would not mind at all of it’s more focused on Riku. Also I’m very intrigued by Yozora

[@user-ky9ou5dz9q]

I highly doubt we will get any info about that secret ending in remind. Remind is essentially just a final mix version.

[@soragamma25]

This is as far fetched an idea as someone can get, but could digimon be able to be in kingdom hearts? As the cyber sleuth games go to the same areas, this could be either switched to different types of dream eaters. After thought, this could be like an arena identical to the world ends with you, just with keyblade masters who violate the rules.

[@shado1414]

I think the future of KH is not disney worlds, but FF worlds.

[@SaiSai-ul9ee]

Hope we meet neku again :c

[@zeke119]

i think besides time traveling maybe they might introduce parallel universes? or paradoxes? because yozora and his friends seem to be a version of sora/riku into a person then you have the obvious donald and goofy substitutes

[@JVCYTc]

Does it bothers anyone else that the lady in the rex trailer look like Hikaru Utada or is that just me. Also, I don't know if my brain doing this on purpose or not but, I'm pretty sure one of the characters look like you HMK at around 9:00. Just sayin.

[@flowmotiiion9441]

Verum rex will be a stand alone game Mark my works
