Somehow.....I got a feeling that he's going to die making a sacrifice or something, then saying some sad stuff like he was glad to have sora and kairi as his friends. Plus, it makes sense for his development as well.  What do you guys think?

I think that it could happen.

Doubt it. This is a Disney game.

I believe that he could die in some way at some point in the game, and then be present "in spirit" in some way, if you understand what I mean.

I'm not saying he dies forever......maybe like a death that will motivate sora to kill xehanort. Overall, I think he should die ( even though I don't want it) It'll be a good way to finish his story, if you think about it.

Loads of people die in Disney. Even major characters die.Anyways, his death makes the most sense, and would be the most meaningful... but its gonna be sad.

I hope not...... I don't want that to happen, I don't think it will. But if it does I'd probably cry and be so upset

If they want to do an emotional hit to the fans gut they might as well kill kairi. Not that I want that to happen.

Agreed, my friend.  But I think it will.

He could pull a Master Eraqus and just kinda of chill in the background no screen time after his "death" whatsoever. That's the closest Disney's gotten to death (in KH at least).

I said this before with the thread about Kairi dying I'll just copy and paste it here.

 

I seriously doubt that any of the main protagonists will die unless it is the end of the whole KH series, and even then there is a pretty slim chance it will happen especially to the main trio.  The only times I have seen or read about a main character dying is when movie/book/tv show series is at the end.  If you think about any series that you have finished the writer/author never kills off any of the main characters until the very end.  I would give some examples but I'm afraid to spoil anything for anybody.

Agreed, my friend.  But I think it will.

It makes me sad just thinking about it, it might never happen though.... at least I hope not....

Repliku says hi

 

 

@topic Why does someone have to die for it to be good ? Honestly there has been a lot of sadness/ pain already .I want more happy endings especially in wrapping up this saga. Xehanort is the only one I hope dies for good bc he deserves it .

While I'm not in favor of the idea, Riku's death is a possibility. I have to agree that a heroic sacrifice would fit with his character growth. As for the argument that "it is a Disney Game, so no deaths", I would like to draw your attention to Master Eraqus.

Hmm I really don't know how I would react since I have  mix feelings towards Riku

terra has more chance to die.

terra has more chance to die.

really? How?

That's it fellas if Riku dies he will just come back as a nobody its been stated in the series to happen it happened to organization 13 it happened to Sora and the only chartactor it didn't happen to was Master E and I think it won't happen to Xehanort again because he already has please someone correct me if I'm wrong

Also Perfect plot twist you are a genius

"Death" in KH and becoming a nobody are two completely different things.  In order to become a nobody, one's heart must have been lost to darkness originally, creating a heartless.  Then, the remains of that person become a nobody.  As for death, it hasn't really occurred yet, so no one really knows the specifics behind that.

The guy in the first kh who was attacked by a heartless died- you know in traverse town.

Actually, he became a "Soldier" heartless.

In my opinion,it was sad,interesting and beyond our comprehension.We'll just see the developments of the story...

Character death for the sake of character death is not good storytelling. Riku's character arc makes more sense if he's forced to live with his decisions, and try to piece his life back together. 

 

There are other ways to create drama that might even be more powerful.

While I'm not in favor of the idea, Riku's death is a possibility. I have to agree that a heroic sacrifice would fit with his character growth. As for the argument that "it is a Disney Game, so no deaths", I would like to draw your attention to Master Eraqus.

I am very skeptical to call that a death, considering Eraqus' heart was confirmed to be inside Terranort.  If that were the case, then Sora, Kairi, and many others would have to be considered 'dead' at one point.  Now, I do believe Maleficent is a viable candidate for being dead at one point in the KH plot, but I can't weigh much on it.

 

As for the topic, it's as plausible as Sora growing 7 feet tall and going Mario style on the heartless.  That isn't to say it is unlikely, in fact, I think it represents that almost anything is plausible at this point.  Do I think it will?  I really don't know.  Do I want it to?  Not really.

No, it's TERRIBLE if you think about it. Riku's voice actor, David, has been in the series just as long as Haley and Hayden, so he deserves to finish the series with them too. -_-

 

What I think SHOULD happen though, is he actually does technically die in the game somehow, BUT, and this is a huge BUT, he MUST be brought back to life in the end of the game or in KH4.
