Xion said Riku saved her but he saved her from what exactly? The previous scenes, Xion was at Castle Oblivion searching for the truth about herself (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh5OsgIz4Zo#t=5537). 1:32:17

 

Her next reappearance is when she, Roxas, and past Riku are having some sort of "headache" issue at Destiny Islands (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh5OsgIz4Zo#t=5611). I'm guessing that's when Sora's memory was in the process of restoration? 1:33:31

 

After that, Riku appears at Destiny Island holding Xion (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh5OsgIz4Zo#t=5732). 1:35:32

 

Namine in the next scene tells Riku that Sora's awakening would be greatly delayed because of Xion's and Roxas' existence (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh5OsgIz4Zo#t=5747). The Riku/Namine scene is a flashback I think. 1:35:47

 

So I am not too sure what Riku saved Xion from exactly but I think maybe Xion (and Roxas?) were about to be erased from existence but Riku intervened and stopped the memory restoration? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh5OsgIz4Zo#t=6831) 1:53:51

 

Riku knew that erasing Xion and Roxas was the quickest way to awake Sora because that's what Namine told him in the flashback scene. Riku, desperate and at times ruthless, in his quest to awake Sora chose to delay the awakening. Riku was a lot nicer to Xion than Roxas lol. He gave Xion a chance to think it over.

 

So is this what Riku saved Xion from or was it something else? Did he save Xion from being wiped out of existence in that moment? I am just very curious..

It could be saving in the general sense; that, by convincing Xion to search for her true self and leave the Organization, Riku saved her from being a part of Xemnas's plans. Or maybe she had a freakout like Roxas and Riku found her lying in the fetal position. Or maybe something was lost in translation and "saving" was used as an approximation of the original meaning.

 

Yeah, I don't know.

Hmm.. Thanks. I think I'm just going to go with the idea that maybe Riku couldn't gather the strength to take out Xion himself and perhaps even stopped the memory restoration for that moment, in turn, saving Xion from erasure. If I remember correctly, he saw Xion as Kairi and that is probably why he couldn't bring himself to take her out and couldn't bear to see her disappear like that and so maybe that is why he saved her during that "headache" moment at Destiny Islands. I'm speculating that the "headache" moment was a sign of Sora's memory reaching 100% completion and awakening. I'm not sure how exactly Riku saved Xion or stopped the restoration but whatever. Eh.. just very curious to me lol.

Xion is a part of Sora.

I think you may be right however what about the heartless that roxas destroys in the misson where you find out that xion cannot summon her keyblade
