Does Riku become Ansem in Kingdom Hearts 2?

Answer 1

actually, after riku left the door to darkness, he found out in kingdom hearts 358/2 days, that he actually had the power to change to xehanort's heartless. (ansem, the heartless, actually stole ansem the wise's name). some of this is from 358/2 days by the way, but it holds the answer to why riku looks like ansem. later when riku trys to fight roxas to stop him from fighting xemnas, (xehanort's nobody) riku is forced to keep the true form of xehanort's heartless because he knows that the only way to beat roxas is to turn to the darkness. that is why for kingdom hearts 2, he looks like ansem during the whole game until he is allowed to change back. i know that this is really confusing but its all true. ansem the wise is the whole reason of kingdom hearts. he was a scientist who wanted to find out more about the human heart. but then his apprentices Even, Ienzo, Bleig, Dilin, Eleus, and Xehanort betrayed him, and then lost their hearts to heartless. however since their hearts were strong, they took form of a nobody. and that was how organization 13 was made. they just changed their names. if any of you know axel, you should know that his real name is lea.

also just in case, the is the order of kingdom hearts,

1. Birth by sleep

2. kingdom hearts 1 (ten years later)

3. kingdom hearts 358/2 days and chain of memories. (games are based at the same time)

4. kingdom hearts 2 or kingdom hearts remix

5. (might be a new kingdom hearts game but nobody knows yet)

spoiler alert!

kingdom hearts 358/2 days is all about the time where roxas spent his time in the organization while sora was put to sleep in chain of memories. riku, is in this game alot because he knows that the only way that sora can wake up is if roxas disapears. theres also a new character that affects sora's memories called ''xion.'' she resembles kairi because she is sora's strongest memory. unfortunately, saix, a member of the organization says to roxas that xion is merely a puppet and also asks him since when has their ever been a 14th chair in the organization. so obviously she dies because sora comes back...roxas actually is sora's nobody because for a few moments sora got turned into a heartless, which means his heart was gone for awhile, creating an empty shell. as you know kairi also lost her heart creating namine. namine is shown in several kingdom heart games. she is the whole cause of sora's awakening because of her abilities to form and take memories away from people. and lastly, the sad thing is that after roxas's friend dies, (xion) he tries to go after xemnas, who was the cause of her death. but luckily riku stops him because he knows that he isn't strong yet because he isn't with sora. and then riku finally defeats him by using ansems form permantely.

(until the end of kingdom hearts 2 XD)

AND YES! I KNOW MOST OF THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RIKU'S FORM! BUT I HOPEFULLY SAVED YU FROM TYPING IN NEW QUESTIONS! XD

Answer 2

Riku didnt exactly "become" ansem. He opened his heart to ansem and became Ansem's minion if you will.. later ansem disquises himself as riku and fights with sora in hollow bastion.
