Dark Aura (ダークオーラ Dāku Ōra?) is an ability which appears in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II. It ultilizes the power of darkness, and is associated with Riku. Its primary form consists of Riku using dark portals to repeatedly rush across the field of battle at high speeds, while cloaked in an aura of darkness, and finishing with a slam to the ground to summon columns of light. There is a variation used only in Kingdom Hearts II that somewhat resembles Dark Firaga.

Unlike Riku, who needs a card value of 27 to perform this attack, the Riku Replica can use it with any value. However, he does not start to use this attack until the final battles with Sora in the main story and Riku in Reverse/Rebirth.
