The Soul Eater is [[Riku|Riku's]] weapon in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''. It is made of the darkness inside his heart, "forged" into its sword-like shape by [[Maleficent|Maleficent's]] magic. Riku wielded the weapon against [[Parasite Cage]] in [[Monstro]], then against [[Sora]] in [[Hollow Bastion]]. [[World of Chaos]] had a double bladed pole arm version of it in the final battle.

{{tab|o-info}}{{tab|KHCOM}}
The Soul Eater was again Riku's weapon in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''. The Soul Eater is also used by [[Vexen|Vexen's]] [[Riku Replica]] and by [[Zexion]] since he has the ability to copy the weapons and attacks of others.
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Riku uses the weapon to battle Sora in the [[Land of Dragons]] atop the mountain, and to fend off the [[Nobody|Nobodies]] that had pursued [[Roxas]] to [[Ansem the Wise|Ansem]]'s mansion. He later refers to his [[Keyblade]], the [[Way to the Dawn]], as "Soul Eater", presumably as a force of habit.
 
==Appearance==
[[Image:Soul Eater.jpg|thumb|right|Soul Eater in KH 358/2 Days]]
The Soul Eater is a scimitar-esque sword, with a red, purple and blue blade shaped like a demonic wing. Its handle bears a blue eye. It has a striking resemblance to the [[Way to the Dawn]], Riku's [[Keyblade]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', causing speculation that the Way to the Dawn was an "evolved" Soul Eater. However, in the secret ending video ''[[Birth by Sleep]]'', which takes place many years prior to ''Kingdom Hearts'', the Way to the Dawn is seen. It is unknown if this is the same version of the weapon that Riku acquires, but its existence suggests that the Soul Eater was designed based on the Keyblade, and not the other way around. Presumably, the Soul Eater could be an imperfect form of the Keyblade, since only darkness was used in this sword's creation. With Riku accepting both Light and Darkness, the Soul Eater could then assume its proper form. 
 
The weapon's name is derived from an ability attributed to the Dark Knight class in the ''Final Fantasy'' series, in which Soul Eater drains the HP of the user to initiate an extra-powerful attack. The attack and the Dark Knight class are associated with darkness, and the Soul Eater ability is sometimes called ''Darkside'' or ''Dark Wave'', making it a fitting name for Riku's weapon.
 
It has also been noted that its name and the presence of an 'eye' on the hilt may be a shout out to the fighting seiries "Soul Caliber" weapon "Soul Edge"

The '''Soul Eater''' is a weapon used by [[Riku]], introduced in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. It is a sword that grows more powerful when used with darkness, and is the developing form of [[Way to the Dawn]].<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II Ultimania]]''''', '''Interviewer''': "We found out that Riku's Keyblade's name is 'Way to the Dawn' when examining his item slots after he joined your party. Is that Keyblade a transfigured version of Soul Eater?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "I designed it with that image. Since Riku has always been using Soul Eater, he still calls it that even after it changed form. Keyblades aren't something that you can obtain suddenly out of nowhere, so in Riku's case, his Soul Eater was used as an intermediary for that Keyblade." [https://web.archive.org/web/20120331081957/http://www.kh2.co.uk/website/interviews/kh2u Translation via Maiki].</ref> The Soul Eater is also wielded by [[Riku Replica]], [[Data-Riku]], [[Dark Riku]], and Dark Riku's [[Replica Xehanort]] counterpart, all of whom are copies of Riku.
 
==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
Some time after arriving at [[Hollow Bastion]] and being taken in by [[Maleficent]], Riku learns to summon the Soul Eater, which he uses as his primary weapon. Later, while he is in [[Traverse Town]], he uses it to take out a pair of [[Soldier]]s that are about to attack [[Sora]]. He continues to use Soul Eater in his battles until he is possessed by [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]]; at that point, he uses the [[Keyblade of heart]] instead. During Sora's final battle against Ansem and [[World of Chaos]], Ansem uses a giant, double-bladed, pole-arm version of the Soul Eater.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''===
Riku continues to use the Soul Eater as he makes his way up from the lowest basement of [[Castle Oblivion]]. Along the way, he battles [[Vexen]], who uses data from the battle to create the [[Riku Replica]]; this clone uses his own Soul Eater in his battles against both Riku and Sora, who is ascending the upper floors of the castle.
 
When Riku fights [[Zexion]] on the third basement, Zexion steals Riku's Soul Eater [[attack card]]s, which he uses to summon Soul Eater-wielding clones of himself.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
In order to avoid the notice of [[Organization XIII]], Riku keeps a low profile. Even when he is spotted by Organization members, he avoids drawing his Soul Eater, instead electing to stay on the defensive and running when possible. However, on Day 149, he draws Soul Eater in a duel against [[Xion]] at [[Beast's Castle]], and defeats her easily. He does not use it again, to the point of using [[Roxas]]'s own [[Oblivion]] Keyblade during his final battle against the Nobody at [[The World That Never Was]].
 
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
In the form of [[Riku-Ansem]], Riku once more uses Soul Eater as his main weapon; he fends off [[Dusk]]s in front of the [[Old Mansion]] on the Sixth Day, and both duels Sora and subdues [[Li Shang]] in [[the Land of Dragons]]. His fighting style and use of Soul Eater start to clue Sora in on the identity of the mysterious hooded figure.
 
By the time Riku arrives at The World That Never Was, Soul Eater has transformed into the [[Way to the Dawn]]. Even after this, Riku continues to refer to his weapon as Soul Eater.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts coded''===
[[Data-Riku]] wields his own Soul Eater in battle. He first draws it when he attempts to take on Maleficent and [[Pete]] in [[Agrabah]], and wields it against [[Data-Sora]] after he is corrupted by bugs.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===
As [[Yen Sid]] introduces the Mark of Mastery exam to Sora and Riku, Riku summons the Soul Eater as he muses on his history with darkness.
 
After Sora and Riku begin their journey through the [[Sleeping Worlds]], they fight [[Ursula]] on the ocean. During this battle, Riku wields the Soul Eater, but he begins wielding Way to the Dawn after the battle is over.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
As the past version of the Riku Replica, [[Dark Riku]] wields his version of the Soul Eater in battle, as does his [[Replica Xehanort]] counterpart.
 
==Design==
The Soul Eater is a falchion-esque sword, with a red, purple and blue blade shaped like a demonic wing. Its handle bears the [[Gazing Eye]], and the handle itself consists of dark braids. It has a striking resemblance to Way to the Dawn, as well as [[Void Gear]]. The weapon can be summoned at will, appearing in Riku's hand in an amorphous cloud of darkness. In [[Halloween Town]], the Soul Eater gains an aged appearance; the scales on the wing are more apparent, the ivory clips on the handle bear red splatter spots that resemble rust, and the eye of darkness becomes cracked.
 
The weapon's name is derived from an ability attributed to the {{ff|Dark Knight}} class in the ''Final Fantasy'' series, in which Soul Eater drains the HP of the user to initiate an extra-powerful attack. The attack and the Dark Knight class are associated with darkness, and the Soul Eater ability is sometimes called ''Darkside'', ''Dark Wave'' or even ''Darkness'', making it a fitting name for Riku's weapon.
 
==Gameplay==
The Soul Eater serves as Riku's default weapon in [[Mission Mode]], requiring no [[Gears]] in order to be equipped. Its ground combo starts with a diagonal upward slash from the left leg, followed by two thrusts, two more thrusts, and it ends with a forward rushing thrust. The aerial combo consists of a diagonal upward slash from the right leg, followed by a horizontal slash to the right, a vertical upward slash on the right side, two large forward thrust, and ends with a spinning slash.
 
==Other appearances==
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
The Soul Eater appears in the opening video of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', alongside the [[Kingdom Key]]; together, the two weapons shatter the [[Dive to the Heart]], and fall along with [[Ventus]].
 
===''Final Fantasy Record Keeper''===
The Soul Eater appears as a 5★ Sword. It can be acquired from the Relic Draw during the ''Kingdom Hearts'' collaboration event. The Soul Eater bestows the Burst Soul Break '''Darkhand Helm Split''' when equipped to Riku.

The Soul Eater is a weapon used by Riku, introduced in Kingdom Hearts. It is a sword that grows more powerful when used with darkness, and is the developing form of Way to the Dawn.[2] The Soul Eater is also wielded by Riku Replica, Data-Riku, Dark Riku, and Dark Riku's Replica Xehanort counterpart, all of whom are copies of Riku.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts[edit]

Some time after arriving at Hollow Bastion and being taken in by Maleficent, Riku learns to summon the Soul Eater, which he uses as his primary weapon. Later, while he is in Traverse Town, he uses it to take out a pair of Soldiers that are about to attack Sora. He continues to use Soul Eater in his battles until he is possessed by Ansem; at that point, he uses the Keyblade of heart instead. During Sora's final battle against Ansem and World of Chaos, Ansem uses a giant, double-bladed, pole-arm version of the Soul Eater.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories[edit]

Riku continues to use the Soul Eater as he makes his way up from the lowest basement of Castle Oblivion. Along the way, he battles Vexen, who uses data from the battle to create the Riku Replica; this clone uses his own Soul Eater in his battles against both Riku and Sora, who is ascending the upper floors of the castle.

When Riku fights Zexion on the third basement, Zexion steals Riku's Soul Eater attack cards, which he uses to summon Soul Eater-wielding clones of himself.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days[edit]

In order to avoid the notice of Organization XIII, Riku keeps a low profile. Even when he is spotted by Organization members, he avoids drawing his Soul Eater, instead electing to stay on the defensive and running when possible. However, on Day 149, he draws Soul Eater in a duel against Xion at Beast's Castle, and defeats her easily. He does not use it again, to the point of using Roxas's own Oblivion Keyblade during his final battle against the Nobody at The World That Never Was.

Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

In the form of Riku-Ansem, Riku once more uses Soul Eater as his main weapon; he fends off Dusks in front of the Old Mansion on the Sixth Day, and both duels Sora and subdues Li Shang in the Land of Dragons. His fighting style and use of Soul Eater start to clue Sora in on the identity of the mysterious hooded figure.

By the time Riku arrives at The World That Never Was, Soul Eater has transformed into the Way to the Dawn. Even after this, Riku continues to refer to his weapon as Soul Eater.

Kingdom Hearts coded[edit]

Data-Riku wields his own Soul Eater in battle. He first draws it when he attempts to take on Maleficent and Pete in Agrabah, and wields it against Data-Sora after he is corrupted by bugs.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance[edit]

As Yen Sid introduces the Mark of Mastery exam to Sora and Riku, Riku summons the Soul Eater as he muses on his history with darkness.

After Sora and Riku begin their journey through the Sleeping Worlds, they fight Ursula on the ocean. During this battle, Riku wields the Soul Eater, but he begins wielding Way to the Dawn after the battle is over.

Kingdom Hearts III[edit]

As the past version of the Riku Replica, Dark Riku wields his version of the Soul Eater in battle, as does his Replica Xehanort counterpart.

Design[edit]

The Soul Eater is a falchion-esque sword, with a red, purple and blue blade shaped like a demonic wing. Its handle bears the Gazing Eye, and the handle itself consists of dark braids. It has a striking resemblance to Way to the Dawn, as well as Void Gear. The weapon can be summoned at will, appearing in Riku's hand in an amorphous cloud of darkness. In Halloween Town, the Soul Eater gains an aged appearance; the scales on the wing are more apparent, the ivory clips on the handle bear red splatter spots that resemble rust, and the eye of darkness becomes cracked.

The weapon's name is derived from an ability attributed to the Dark Knight class in the Final Fantasy series, in which Soul Eater drains the HP of the user to initiate an extra-powerful attack. The attack and the Dark Knight class are associated with darkness, and the Soul Eater ability is sometimes called Darkside, Dark Wave or even Darkness, making it a fitting name for Riku's weapon.

Gameplay[edit]

The Soul Eater serves as Riku's default weapon in Mission Mode, requiring no Gears in order to be equipped. Its ground combo starts with a diagonal upward slash from the left leg, followed by two thrusts, two more thrusts, and it ends with a forward rushing thrust. The aerial combo consists of a diagonal upward slash from the right leg, followed by a horizontal slash to the right, a vertical upward slash on the right side, two large forward thrust, and ends with a spinning slash.

Other appearances[edit]
