Mystics Apprentice 2,397 Posted March 30, 2013 I think it was to keep in the darkness His eyes couldn't lie I believe it was for both of these reasons, but primarily to keep the darkness in. If you'll recall from 358/2 Days, when he takes his blindfold off, the darkness within overpowers him (or, at least his form). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarLea Quinn 26,501 Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) I believe it was for both of these reasons, but primarily to keep the darkness in. If you'll recall from 358/2 Days, when he takes his blindfold off, the darkness within overpowers him (or, at least his form). Yeah it is both .It's actually outwardly stated it's bc his eyes can't lie but implied through actions it helps keep the darkness in .

HarLea Quinn 26,501 Posted March 30, 2013 It's basically that his eyes revealed the true darkness within him, so the blindfold covered his eyes to cover his darkness.

Amber Cole 1,557 Posted March 30, 2013 Riku needs the blindfold because he's a wussy teenager he's faced more than i could. I wouldn't have been able to sit through the things he's gone through in the game, i'd chicken out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khoathkeeper13 429 Posted March 30, 2013 Beacuase his eyes can't lie? what do you mean by that? *because He had a tiny bit of Ansem's darkness still latching onto his heart and at one point it got to the point he appeared like Ansem because of it. He used his blindfold to help suppress it as "his eyes couldn't lie." One's heart shapes one's identity, so since he had Ansem's darkness inside of him still he eventually looked like him and got stuck looking like him once he completely immersed himself in darkness to defeat Roxas. The reasoning that covering his eyes suppressed the darkness is most likely because "the eyes are the windows to the soul" saying. 1 Amber Cole reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reyn 1,755 Posted April 5, 2013 It's basically that his eyes revealed the true darkness within him, so the blindfold covered his eyes to cover his darkness. ( the eyes are like windows to your soul ) Oh. So that's why when he met Mickey in the forest in "Days" he was in his Ansem form before he put on his Blind fold. But i don't understand, it wasn't like that for Riku when he exited CO in COM. What happened? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But i don't understand, it wasn't like that for Riku when he exited CO in COM. What happened? Basically even after CoM Riku still had to control and suppress his darkness which is why he ends up using the blindfold for the very reasons already listed above. Ansem still lingered in his heart and needed supressed . 3 luka, Demyx. and Weiss reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

venxas24 544 Posted April 5, 2013 It suppressed his darkness so he could walk around as himself. In Days it shows that without it he looks like Ansem Seeker of Darkness and when he puts it on he's Riku again. Also its shown when he has to remove it to get enoug power to beat Roxas. It's just to suppress his darkness. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reyn 1,755 Posted April 5, 2013 Well He still learned that on his own accord through experience Wait but i was wondering, after Riku become Sepliku and defeated Roxas, why didn't he put back on his blindfold? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarLea Quinn 26,501 Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) Wait but i was wondering, after Riku become Sepliku and defeated Roxas, why didn't he put back on his blindfold? Well after he made that sacrifice he knew he would still need to use the power to help defeat/stop the ever growing problem of the organization .
