How plausible does this theory seem?
  Intresting, I think its mostly correct, and it will be in issue in a future game.
  I think its mostly correct, but the developers probubly will never consider the possibility
  The basic idea seems correct, but maybe not the more specific parts, such as personality. It will be an issue in a future game
  The basic idea seems correct, but maybe not the more advanced parts. The developers probubly won't consider the possibility though.
  It doesn't seem plausable to me.

In part of Kingdom Hearts 2, Riku unleashes his darkness, then takes the form of Xehanort's Heartless. Since he turned into a Heartless, and his heart was obviously strong (his heart was originally stronger than Sora's) the result should logically be a sentient nobody, along the lines of Roxas.

However, Roxas didn't have memories due to Sora's short tenure as a Heartless. Namine, being formed while Kairi's Heart was inside Sora, was able to influence memories relating to Sora.

From the fact that Riku took the form of another while a heartless, we can infer that Riku's Nobody should suffer from Multiple Personality Disorder, or a split personality.

Also, given the fact that Riku is split between light and darkness, their personalities should reflect this, each embodying the positive and negative traits of him. This also should reflect on his fighting styles, with the Light Side mostly fighting with a keyblade maybe summoning Nobodies, and the Dark Side focusing on the powers of darkness maybe with Heart Breaker, and opts to summon Heartless instead.

This seems right. Or, I'll say logical.

It's logical to assume these things.

But..we're also talking about square.

Regardless, his nobody has not been introduced, based on what you've provided.

But, who knows? We very well could have seen his nobody and thought nothing of it.
I mean, look at Namine'. She is Kairi's nobody (in theory. I sort of think she is also Sora's second nobody). Although, while being a nobody, she does not have the "X" that is in all of the others' names. And her name is nothing like Kairi's (obviously).
So Riku's "nobody" could have already made an appearance, and had a name that made no sense, and we haven't even thought of it.

I have no idea who this would be. It's just talk.

On a side note; I sort of think Terra is linked to Riku for some reason. Just throwing that out there.

It's logical, sure.

But Riku never lost his heart.

Yes, he took on the appearance of a Heartless, but that didn't make him one.

So it's impossible for Riku to have a nobody to begin with.

Reels is correct here. He hasn't lost his heart yet so it is impossible for him to have a nobody.

True, he was never really a Heartless... It does sound like a really fun theory, though. smile I do vaguely remember hearing a theory on Riku having a Nobody before, but while it didn't mention what his Nobody would be like, it did say why he'd have one at all, and it sounded reasonable... but I can't remember it. sweatdrop

The way you described his potential Nobody, in any case, does sound awesome. Kind of S(t)uish, but pretty awesome nonetheless. I don't, however, think he'd be able to summon Heartless. I think it was mentioned in the first game that only a Heartless could control the Heartless (I know it was said that Maleficent wasn't actually controlling them, for one).
