Just thoughts i wana write down..
Riku is the chosen one in much the same way Xehanort was. However Xehanort started out good and ended up doing some bad things which caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. Riku on the other hand started out doing something bad (letting the darkness in and losing the islands and Kairi's heart) which is what causes Sora to obtain the keyblade and gives them all the ability to fight the darkness. Sets things in motion in a positive light but he still spends the rest of his time trying to atone for what he did. I like to think about what Xehanort was missing, and how he could have turned out differently. We see at the end of KH3 he still had his love for Eraqus, despite killing him 10 years prior. He feels bad for what he did to Ventus. He has his humanity but his conviction is just stronger. He really believes he's doing something so important it's worth it all. Seeing how traumatic his childhood was though, how much death he witnessed, it's understandable. There was no reason for their deaths. I dunno what I'm getting at here i just think the parallels between xehanort and riku are neat. Riku refuses to let his friends fall, his conviction is stronger. He only cares about Sora and Kairi (and later his other friends) he would sacrifice himself for them time and again. Riku feels awful for what Ansem TW and him did to Roxas. (And Xion but he doesn't remember) but it was the only way he could save Sora, it's fucked up! (+ It's so damn evil what Ansem TW did and how he treated roxas and namine I hate him so so so so so fucking much i swear he is the most evil guy in all of KH i want him dead forever and ever fuck that guy), uhh anyway it would've been cool if Riku got to learn about Xehanort's past is all I'm really trying to say. They have no idea.
