Moving

Xiggie Buy / Sell — Welcome! What do you wanna do? Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— {{{time}}} Shouldn't this article be moved to either Riku/Xehanort's Heartless or just add the info to the Riku article?

No

It's about Riku's new form, not exactly Xehanort's Heartless itself. So...

Xiggie Buy / Sell — Welcome! What do you wanna do? Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— {{{time}}} How aboutRiku/Xehanort's Heartless Form then? I just think that it should be a part of Riku's Article!

Well, I guess we could consider moving it.

As Riku calls himself "Ansem" in this form, not "Xehanort's Heartless", this should be under "Ansem Form".Glorious CHAOS! 02:59, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Merging with Riku article

People! This page is a spin-off article about Riku's form as Xehanort's Heartless, not the Riku article itself. Consider it like the other forms our Kingdom Hearts characters use. Of course, this is not really a useful form in battle, but it's still a disguise.

This article should not be merged, because it has an independent purpose of its own as Riku's alternate forms, just like his Dark Mode. Besides, if you consider this page should be merged, then maybe you should merge the Dark Mode article too. It isn't exactly a good article itself. User:Charmed-Jay April 10, 2009

Renaming

So Days's museum labels him as "Riku-Ansem" (or was it Ansem-Riku? I forget and my DS is dead). So not only does that confirm we should use Ansem rather than Xehanort, doesn't that also give us an actual official name rather than just "Riku (Anything)"? Dazuro 08:55, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

What museum are you talking about?Glorious CHAOS! 14:23, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

Er, not museum, theater. The cutscene viewer thing. Sorry. Dazuro 16:40, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

The scene is actually dubbed "Riku Becomes Ansem." There's also one called "DiZ and Riku", if that's what you meant by the whole Riku-Ansem thing, since Ansem is really DiZ, and the "Ansem" is Xehanort's Heartless (wow... really redundant). I'd say we retitle back to Riku (Xehanort's Heartless). - EternalNothingnessXIII 23:31, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Please actually look at the entire list before you make yourself look foolish. There's also one simply called "Riku-Ansem." Dazuro 03:59, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

"Mickey and Riku-Ansem". That shit is canonical.Glorious CHAOS! 16:58, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

Improvement

Would it be possible to get a Photoshop artist to believalby mix a render of Xehanort's Heartless with an Organization member (Xemnas, preferrably)'s cloak? We could then have a "sub-proper" image. We also need to reformat the page, as it has some story significance. The way it is positioned now is as a really long "opening paragraph". We need to reformat with a Story, Weapon, and Fighting Style section, along with anything else necessary. - EternalNothingnessXIII 18:01, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

EDIT : Would it be possible instead to extract the render from the Jiminy Journal in a large size while still HQ? - EternalNothingnessXIII 19:00, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

How does he do it?

Hey guys i want to put on this article that it is unknown how riku is able to turn back to riku during the riku-mickey cutscene, but during his battle with roxas he gets stuck as ansem-xehanort's heartless, but i havent beat days yet, so im just not sure how he does it. i just wanted to check with u guys before i put it on there --Kingdom zachdawg 04:53, January 31, 2010 (UTC) Its been some time, but I think this is how it happened. At some point the Darkness in Riku grew strong enought that against his will he gained the appearance of Ansem. He realized that by wearing the blindfold he was able to surpress that Darkness and return himself to his real form. During the fight with Roxas he had to give in completely to the Darkness, thus rendering his ability to surpress it unusable. --Evnyofdeath 00:41, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Something I noticed

If you look at the image in the article of him using the Guardian to defeat Roxas, he is grabbing Roxas's shoulders. However in Days, he grabs Roxas around the arms or waist. --Evnyofdeath 16:55, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

Deletion?

NinjaSheik - All of this might have started with a lie...But I'm really am glad that I could meet you... TALK - One day, the light-it will be ours, and it will bring us together. Til then, I'll be in your heart... This has been discussed before, but I think it's finally time to decide this. When I was editing on Form:Riku's page, I noticed that his Riku-Ansem is, naturally, listed under it (along with his journal entries, which looks out of place to me). The article has been tagged with a template for a while now, suggesting we should merge with Riku's article. That being said, it's something I agree to. No matter form he takes, Riku is still Riku. So, I find this page unnecessary. What does everyone else think?

TheSilentHero 撃 - Smash! — 20:18, 6 July 2015 (UTC) I think this is more of a "fused" character, like Ventus-Vanitas and Terra-Xehanort, so it should stay. Also, regarding the following, However, those who truly know Riku can sense him behind the appearance, as witnessed when Sora recognizes him in The Land of Dragons. Do we have a source for this, because I always thought it was because he's using the Soul Eater?
