::Opening the doors to worlds causes their Gummi barriers to crumble. But, the Heartless already destroyed all of the Gummi barriers around the worlds. Since this is the case, then why would Riku have to open the door to Destiny Islands? Opening a door to a world's heart does nothing aside from cause the Gummi barriers to crumble. They've already been crumbled though, so what did Riku opening the door do? The Heartless don't need a world's door to be opened in order to get its heart. It just the worlds' Keyholes to be unlocked, which they are until Sora goes around locking them. And in order for a bunch of Heartless to arrive at a world, the Gummi barrier needs to be broken. A hoard of Heartless showed up on Destiny Islands after Riku opened the door. "The islands you grew up on were sundered, scattered... Many hearts were lost to the darkness. Because of what YOU did!" "You hated being an islander, cut off from other worlds. So you opened the door to darkness and destroyed the islands. YOU did that! And now you belong to the darkness. Look at what you are!" - Zexion to Riku | ::Opening the doors to worlds causes their Gummi barriers to crumble. But, the Heartless already destroyed all of the Gummi barriers around the worlds.

::These quotes wouldn't make sense if what Riku did didn't cause the Heartless to show up. But, what Riku did shouldn't have done anything. --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 14:32, 10 January 2018 (UTC) | ::These quotes wouldn't make sense if what Riku did didn't cause the Heartless to show up.

:::But the Heartless can show up either way, so that's not the issue. They appear in Hollow Bastion before the door is opened (see Ansem reports) and they appear all throughout KHII when the barriers are intact again.I think there are two possible options: Either the barrier was already gone and opening the door (again) lured the Heartless directly to the world's heart, resulting in DI being consumed by darkness and Zexion being factually correct. The other option is that Riku's action only destroyed the barrier, which might have not be gone already but there is no meteor shower in the game to prove that. Either way it could also have attracted the Heartless who consumed the world's heart in the process very fast. | |||
:::In the end opening the door resulted in the demise of DI. Maybe the Heartless would have done it themselves given time, but we'll never know that. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 18:55, 10 January 2018 (UTC) | |||
