'''Anti-Riku''' is an alternate version of Blindfolded Riku that made its debut in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. It wielded a dark version of the Oblivion Keyblade, using the same battle techniques as the true Riku. Only fought in Mission Mode, Anti-Riku has the same amount of health as its original.

'''Anti-Riku''' is a dark version of [[Riku]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. It is fought in the [[Mission Mode]] version of [[Mission 93: Believe]], replacing Riku at [[The World That Never Was]]. As it only appears in Mission Mode, Anti-Riku does not exist in ''Kingdom Hearts'' canon.


==Design==
Anti-Riku, true to its name, is a doppelgänger of Riku as he appears in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. Its entire body is black, as is the [[Oblivion]] [[Keyblade]] it wields.


Anti-Riku's name reflects the fact that it is an antagonistic, dark copy of Riku. The prefix "anti-" means "against".


==Strategy==
[[File:Anti-Riku.jpg]]
{{main|Game:Riku#Mission 93}}
Anti-Riku behaves the same way the real Riku does in [[Mission 93]]. At the start of this battle, the player should immediately Lock-On to the boss. This should aid the player in keeping track of it, as Anti-Riku is fast. As soon as this is done, the player should attack Anti-Riku from the back. Attacking Anti-Riku from the front will cause the boss to block with [[Dark Shield]]. A majority of this battle will be following Anti-Riku around the battlefield in front of Memory's Skyscraper.


When the player gets close to Anti-Riku, it will attempt a series of thrusts with its Keyblade. Anti-Riku may also launch a Dark Firaga attack if the player is not within close range. One can use proper timing of [[Guard]] to deflect this attack. When Anti-Riku's [[Hit Points|HP]] starts to diminish, it will begin to utilize a Dark Break-style desperation attack, which can be dodged via Dodge Roll or Glide. Just when Anti-Riku's HP is about to hit zero, it gains access to the [[Dark Aura]] ability. When using this attack, Anti-Riku will jet around the battle area, unleashing columns of black flame at the combo's end. The player can time this attack to when Anti-Riku's Keyblade begins to glow with a white-blue energy. Blocking the lunging combos Anti-Riku uses before its Keyblade glows will cause it to stagger, opening it to a brief combo. So long as one heals regularly and utilizes magic and one's [[Limit Break]] accordingly, Anti-Riku should fall relatively easily.

*Anti-Riku can be played as through various glitches in the game. It does not appear properly, however, and the character icons still appear as Roxas.
*Fans have dreamt of an Anti-Riku for some time. It has now become a reality. Its creation, however, is shrouded in mystery.
