The '''Riku Replica''' is a [[replica]] of [[Riku]] created from the data [[Vexen]] had gathered. He appeared in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'' and acts as one of the main antagonists of the game. Though he almost always appears in [[Dark Mode]], the only time when he did not have this suit on is his debut in either storyline.

At first, Riku was shocked to see his counterpart; however, after the original heard the Riku Replica's taunts, a battle began. Due to the short time of Riku Replica's existence, he lacked experience and was quickly defeated by the original. Riku then attempted to destroy the replica, but failed when the Riku Replica utilized the power of darkness. | ||
Riku Replica escapes, and eventually ends up in [[Organization XIII]]'s chambers, where [[Larxene]] taunted Riku Replica over his loss. However, the replica denied any fault of this, saying that his powers had not grown enough, which resulted in her bashing him into the wall calling him "nothing but a mere toy". The Organization members later change their plans, hoping to turn Sora into their puppet and overthrow the Organization. Larxene suggested that Riku Replica's memories should be rewritten to be the same as the original's so he would become a much stronger and more useful tool. Riku Replica, upon hearing Larxene's idea, rejected it, saying that he did not need his original's pitiful memories, but all the members began to agree upon Larxene's plan. Fearing that he would lose his memory, Riku Replica assaulted Larxene. However, he was quickly knocked out and [[Naminé]] was ordered to rewrite the replica's memory. | Riku Replica escapes, and eventually ends up in [[Organization XIII|the Organization]]'s chambers, where [[Larxene]] taunted Riku Replica over his loss.

After having his memory rewritten, Riku Replica swore to protect Naminé, and saw Sora as a threat, feeling already betrayed by him as he thought Sora didn't care for him and cared only for [[Kairi]]. | [[File:Reunion with Riku 01 KHRECOM.png|right|thumb|200px|The Riku Replica confronts Sora.]] | ||
After having his memory rewritten, Riku Replica swore to protect Naminé, and saw Sora as a threat, feeling already betrayed by him as he thought Sora didn't care for him and cared only for [[Kairi]]. Sora's first encounter with the replica confused the Keyblade master, as he believed that the replica was the real Riku. Sora managed to defeat the replica, who then escaped. Riku Replica later encountered Sora in Castle Oblivion's 8th floor, where he urged Sora to leave, as he would protect Naminé. Hoping to regain his friend, Sora offered to jog Riku Replica's memory, but nothing worked, and a fight ensued. | |||

The Riku Replica is physically identical to Riku as he appears in ''Kingdom Hearts'', sporting the same skin tone, bright blue eyes, and shoulder-length silver hair. He initially appears in Riku's standard outfit, but quickly shifts into his [[Dark Mode]] form, and remains in the latter outfit for the remainder of his appearance. | |||

==Personality== | ==Personality== | ||
The Replica was more aggressive and protective than Riku, which is exactly what Xehanort's Heartless was looking for. A key difference between the two is that while Riku fears the darkness in his heart, the replica embraces his and wields it effectively. He was also more stubborn, which made him more of an enemy in the game. Another factor is how he searched for his existence nonstop. He seems to (like Sora) get very angry when he's confused, as shown when the Organization members such as Larxene try to trick him. At the end of his life, the replica became much more like the original, becoming sullen and mellow. He often lashed out at anyone who talked back to him, even if they overpowered him. He seemed to be as powerful as Riku was at Hollow Bastion, when Riku was under Ansem's possession. | |||
The replica clearly seemed to possess true emotions, as he seemed to harbor a close friendship or even outright affection for Naminé, though his belief in it was merely part of the illusion Naminé had created by tampering with Sora's memories while at Castle Oblivion. | |||

For example, Riku can only use [[Dark Aura]] with three 9's, a total of 27. However, the replica can use any three cards, granted the right types of cards are used, such as 4, 7, and 8, to perform Dark Aura. He never uses the Dark Break Sleight. Instead he substitutes it for a sleight called Helm Split. He is also more aggressive, which leads to some open moments during his battles. | ||
