What if in KH4, when Riku finally arrives in Quadratum…

“Sora! It’s you. You’re here! I looked everywhere for you.”

“I-I’m sorry but I think you have the wrong guy. I don’t know you.”

what is he wishing for? 🌠

Why I think Riku’s heart is Sora’s light and called Sora, twice even;

So, I was writing a rant about something else and by doing so, I needed some clip from KH. I then saw this.

This is what Sora see when he reach out for Riku’s hand, when the island is falling, before getting the keyblade.

Feels familiar enough? This is what Sora saw in KH3, after seeing Riku’s death for the second time and calling his name, begging for him to answer;

Now, let’s put them side to side because it’s even better, especially for people who love denying anything that relate Sora and Riku.

Yup, literally almost the same, only difference is how bright the light is. Isn’t that odd that the only difference is the light being brighter and somewhat warmer? After all it’s not as if Riku got a character development, and in KH his heart was swallowed by darkness, right??

You got it; Riku’s not manipulated by darkness anymore and thus, his heart, light, is way brighter and warmer.Even more interesting in this point of view, and what I mean when Riku’s heart called Sora;

In KH, the light only appears in a flash. As if it was one last effort, a call made out of desperation. And what was passed to Sora during that desperate call?

Something that should’ve been Riku’s, but his heart knew he wouldn’t be able to have it in the state he was in. Something that Riku kept close to his heart ever since he met Terra, since he understood that it would help him become stronger to protect what matters.

And to who did that precious thing of his got passed in that desperate call? The person who matter the most.

In KH3 the light is already there when Sora still has his eyes closed, as if it was keeping an eye on him. And when Sora wakes up, the first thing he does when seeing the light, is calling for Riku. And not with question in his voice, as if he was unsure; he knows and is calling for Riku. Nomura literally gave us a parallel in addition of showing Riku’s sacrifice a second time, literally just before this scene.

The light seemed faint at first, as if it was somewhat unconscious or asleep.

And I’d like to insist on those terms because it’s only when Sora talked to it more than once, as if the person he was talking to wasn’t in a state to understand it well the first time, that the light became brighter; as if recognizing who was talking to him.

And by becoming brighter and showing him the way, is what I meant by Riku’s heart calling Sora. And where did Sora arrive? Where Riku’s heart was.

And the second time Sora is seen in that tunnel of light, Kairi is there, waiting for him. They both continue to follow the light who is now fully bright, as if now fully conscious. That’s where a lot of people get confused but in my opinion, Kairi wouldn’t be able to be there to guide Sora, and at the same time doing it as a light like she did in KH, that wouldn’t make sense.

And when they finally arrive, everyone is here meeting them, but, the only person fully opposing them, like the light they were following, is Riku.

I’ll end this rant by saying that ever since KH, Riku has been through a lot, learned a lot, and changed a lot. He now listen and follow his heart, something he wasn’t able to before.

His heart (and literally him) is the light we see in all this. Sora’s light. He went from unconsciously giving a desperate call to Sora, to being the light that would guide him. That’s how much Riku has evolved, he became what he promised to be; strong enough to protect his precious person.

*paces around the room in a crazed state with bbs cutscenes on loop in my mind*. they could sense Riku's light from fucking outer space
