In the beginning of Kingdom Hearts, Riku and Sora are the best of friends. Unfortunately, this friendship is soon put to the test as Riku decides that life on Destiny Island isn't enough for him. Riku and Sora, despite being friends were always having friendly little competitions with each other, be it fighting with wooden swords or simply having footraces. It's hinted that both characters are in love with and are in competition, but not a whole lot is made of this early on. "What? You'd rather fight me? Over a puppet that has no heart?" - Riku

  • In the beginning of Kingdom Hearts, Riku and Sora are the best of friends. Unfortunately, this friendship is soon put to the test as Riku decides that life on Destiny Island isn't enough for him. Riku and Sora, despite being friends were always having friendly little competitions with each other, be it fighting with wooden swords or simply having footraces. It's hinted that both characters are in love with and are in competition, but not a whole lot is made of this early on. The crew eventually decides to build a raft and leave Destiny Island, though they don't leave the island on the best of terms. The Heartless attack and swallow the island the night before they're all to leave, and Sora, Riku and Kairi all get split up in an entirely new world unknown to them. Riku's desire and ambition make him an easy target for Maleficent's manipulation tactics, and it isn't long before she has Riku using the power of darkness for his own and turning on Sora. The two have a very symbolic, nasty rivalry all throughout Kingdom Hearts that features some of the best fights in the game (and Riku's voice actor in battle is amazing), and it isn't until the very end of the game that we figure out how the relationship between Riku and Sora turns out. And it's worth noting that Riku's love of Kairi truly comes out when he has the darkness on his side, and that Kairi's fate isn't decided until the tail end of the game, either. Riku's character archetype isn't the most original out there (conflicted, badassed anti-hero), but it always seems to work well in Square titles. Kingdom Hearts is no exception. "What? You'd rather fight me? Over a puppet that has no heart?" - Riku
