Underneath the Mask

[AllEndsWith-]

I commend your shot in the darek Grace Assassin, but considering that "All men carry darkness", which mean everyone has darkness in them, and Ansem "tampering" with Riku's darkness might just mean the growing darkness in him when he first gave into the darkness and began serving Maleficent.

This is most likely.

And what you said could be true.

But his face will be revealed, come, Jan 2010.

Thats really it.

It's such a necessarily complex and laborious analysis of something that ought to be so simple that I really think it best to wait and see.

Right.
Consider the Guardian as Ansem SoD's "dog in the fight," as the saying goes.

Riku is trying to shun all darkness, his as well as Ansem's.
Because of this, Ansem has limited access to the darkness in Riku's heart (and wants more to overwhelm him). The limited access is through the Guardian. Since Ansem SoD (as Xehanort's memories) had a past with the Guardian (a piece of Vanitas), the two are connected, and this connection allows Ansem SoD to utilize Riku's darkness to a limited extent.

erm, im pretty sure riku barely knew about the keyblade at that point. he was young and the sora, riku, kairi chapter i dont think has started yet

[Pratiko]

Sounds possible after all the explaining, but if I got spoiled I'll have to rage later.

And ye, the Roxas thing was probably the biggest mistake of the KH fandom.

how could vanitas be RIku's nobody if the time difference is way to steep? wouldnt Vanitas appear a young boy?

Didndt tetsuya nomura say that there wont be any heartless or nobodies in BBS?

What does that have to do with anything? If sora and Ven can become connected somehow yet Sora grows up knowing nothing of the Keyblade and such, it can easily happen to Riku as well.

He never said Vanitas is Riku's Nobody. You need to read the first post again. He basically said that Ven or part of Ven went to Sora, which results in Roxas as Sora's nobody and Ven's lookalike, and that he thinks Vanitas or part of him likewise went to Riku resulting in Riku's similar Dark suit.

read the rest of it =/

he meant that Vanitas' has the looks of Riku's Nobody if he ever existed (< oh shit, a nobody that comes into existence, paradox over here, lulz).
He's hinting a connection between Vanitas and Riku in the future to help visualize Vanitas' face.

[Yuuki]

[Allister Rose]

Even and Vexen.
Dilan and Xaldin (stfu to anyone who says they're "different")
Aeleus and Lexaeus.

[hint hint, wink wink Pratiko]

Hell, why not Vanitas (who, at least, would still be a relatively unfamiliar face)?

Allister does have a point though. The only people currently not connected to someone else are Master Eraqus and Aqua (and even her face looks a bit like Kairi's/Naminé's/Xion's)

i dont think they look that similar. her face looks far to serious and her eyes are smaller
