Re: Riku in KH3D
There is "no death" but that doesn't mean some people don't stay in a more permanent sleep. If Repliku comes back (which is cheapening his "death"), then we must let everybody come back that has "died". Let's bring Clayton back, and Ursula, and Scar, and every other "dead" person in KH.
First sentence = absolute win!
Seriously, we still don't know what conditions have to be fulfilled in order to "wake someone up" and let him/her being "born by sleep" to get back into the waking world (aka realm of light).
If it would be really that easy we would have had an influx of "revived" bad
and good guys already.
To be fair though, Ursula, Oogie Boogie and Maleficent
were already brought back.
Although, now that I think about it...we had already some allusion to revival being possible as far back as Chain of Memories if we look at Vexen's words about Maleficent:
CoM said:
Zexion: Visitors. I picked up two scents in the castle's lowest basement. One of them was Maleficent--- Vexen: Don't be absurd. The witch is gone. She cannot return from the realm of darkness of her own volition.
There, Vexen says that Malefcient can't come back on her own volition, but he
doesn't rule out a return completely.
Wait no, Repliku went away with Ansem the Wise, right? Idk, I played Reverse/Rebirth, but it's been a while.
Not exactly, after he took Zexion's power Repliku fought a last battle with the real Riku at the gates of the mansion in the memory-Twilight Town, getting defeated and gravely wounded in the process.
He disappeared and his body was
clearly destroyed, if his fake heart somehow survived he might be sleeping somewhere, but that only means that there
may be something left of him.
It does in no way indicate that he can be just revived with a finger snap.
