Kingdom Hearts II Riku's Nobody?

Nomura clearly stated Riku does not have a Nobody. Also, Axel looks nothing like Riku at all. Their attitudes are also not alike. About the only similarity between them was they are both tall, and still...their body frames are nothing alike. I'm really not sure why other than the friendship issue, Riku and Sora are friends and Roxas and Axel are friends, people keep thinking Axel is at all like Riku. It makes good fan fic I suppose, but really, there's no correlation.

 

I would say that if Riku were to have a nobody it would be the best one.

 

i know but i was just saying that and anyway their names are not anagrams of each other.

 

If Riku's heart was taken away, then how could he have been able to stop Ansem with his transparent self...?

 

this is very confusing - but i dont believe he had every truly lost his heart

 

maybe he is his own heartless. did you ever think of that? he has darkness in his heart, and has no nobody because he never actually got away form his body. does that make sense?

 

Riku never submits to the darkness, he has only been seen to use it as a means to an end. Everything went awry when Xehanort's heartless was thrown into the mix. There are a lot of implicit aspects of the darkness that no one really picks up on. Like Cloud, for example, who like Riku used the darkness as a means to an end, had a black wing.

 

yeah riku can't have one cause he never was a heartless
