'''Dark Aura''', also translated as '''Dark Rush''' in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Union χ]]'', is technique introduced in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. It is a signature move of [[Riku]], and it appears repeatedly throughout the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' series. It typically allows the user to rush enemies repeatedly from all directions, finishing by plunging their weapon into the ground, releasing columns of energy radially.

The {{ns|Game|Riku Replica}} can utilize Dark Aura as a Sleight during his final battles in Sora's story and ''Reverse/Rebirth''. Unlike Riku, who needs a card value of 27 to execute Dark Aura, the Riku Replica can use it with any value. In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', Riku Replica's Dark Aura pillars no longer confuse the opponent.<br>

As a [[Replica]] created from the real Riku's combat data, the [[Riku Replica]] can utilize all of Riku's abilities which are exclusive to Dark Mode. Unlike Riku, who needs a card value of 27 to execute Dark Aura, the Riku Replica can use it with any value, granted he only gains access to the Sleight during his final battle with [[Sora]] in the main story and Riku in ''Reverse/Rebirth''.
 
The finisher of the Riku Replica's version of Dark Aura has about two times the range of the real Riku's.{{fact}}
