Question about Riku

[Zesty]

When Leon says that everyone forgot about Sora for that year and it appears that even Kairi forgot, why is it that Riku seems to remember (and it appears the King remembered as well) ?

didn't DiZ say to Riku something like "are your memories of Sora back yet?" and Riku replied "sorta they're still a little hazy."

Im sure he did remember Sora, and thats why he went after Roxas. Because he was one of the ones that remembered him.
I guess Namine gave him his memories of Sora back

 

[Muse]

Riku lost his memories of Sora as well.
But they came back once Sora's memories of Riku came back.

yes.

riku was affected as well, but he had DiZ and Namine, so they could've easily explained the situation to him.

While it's still not certain whether or not Mickey forgot about Sora, if he didn't, it makes sense because Sora never really had too much of an interaction with him, so it's not like Namine had to take apart too many Memories that linked the two. Much like DiZ didn't forget Sora - Sora'd have had to know him better for the person to forget about him when Sora forgot them.

And, like people said, Riku forgot as well, which is what sets Namine mind-wiping everyone about Sora after Riku brought him in - since he obviously remembered Roxas when he fought him.

That about sums this up.
