This is that page where I will post SoraXRiku argurments. As in nice debates and argumentative things from both non SoraXRiku pairing and for those who are for it. I'm quite interested in hearing both sides opinions and want to start a nice debate. So please send me your viewpoints at coffeewithriku@yahoo.com or in a comment on my blog (make sure to clarify that you want it on this page please). As your debate pieces come in I'll put in different RikuXSora pairing debate topics.
Latest Debate Topic: What is the meaning behind Riku making Anti-Sora?
RikuEssays thoughts: I believe that this was something of great meaning. Note Riku walking away with Kairi and leaving Sora with an Anti-Sora. How do you think this could have shown Riku's feelings for Sora? Also the opinions of AntiSoraXRiku coupling opinions all always accepted and and wanted.

Jenny:
Well....I think Riku left Sora with anti-Sora because he was basically manipulated and lied to about what Sora was out to do. All Riku cared about was getting Kairi's heart back, and he was under the impression that Sora was on the wrong side. Leaving him with Anti-Sora was a boss that wasn't dangerous, but would keep Sora busy. I think Riku was doing it because he wanted to help Kairi, but he didn't want to hurt Sora, so he gave Sora something he could handle. Just my ideas. :)

RikuEssays:
Yes, I agree that Riku was manipulated by Maleficent. And I also agree that Riku didn't really want to hurt Sora, but then I have to argue with myself when I think ahead to Hollow Bastion where Riku tried to kill Sora himself. But this might be because by then Riku was completely taken over by darkness. I also believe that Riku set out with a good intention, but then as he stayed in darkness longer and longer, the more it consumed him and turned him again good. Jenny, you make some really good points!!
Although this doesn't really have to do with the subject, I also wonder about this. I'm wondering if one of the reasons Riku was against Sora a lot throughout KH1 is because he resents Sora for caring about Kairi more then him (for further detail, go to Essays). What do you think?

-_-I think maybe Riku tried to use Anti-Sora to show Sora what he was causing. Riku was turning dark because of the pain that he felt sora had caused. He felt that Sora was starting to hate him, so he used a heartless form. Naturally, Sora probably didn't understand this.-_-

Morgan: I feel that the reason Riku left Anti-Sora was because he felt left-out and uncared for after seeing Donald and Goofy with Sora; feeling that he had been replaced. Also, Riku probably felt pretty down after Sora's attention was reverted to Kairi...the reason for Anti-Sora was to show Sora what Riku had felt when he had what meant most to him taken away. I feel that Riku was not manipulated by the darkness into creating Anti-Sora; but he had his own personal feelings; which mattered more than his power over others. I think that Riku never really wanted to hurt Sora, just to show him how it feels to be betrayed by someone you thought was closest to you. In my opinion Sora and Riku do love each other, probably not as lovers, but simply as those who feel that they have no one else to turn to and as those who would do anything for each other; even give up their own life, as Riku shows in kh1 after help ing Sora to close the door. Anti-Sora was something of a symbolism of Riku's feelings toward Sora after Kairi stepped in and Sora just ditched him to be with her; even though Riku and Sora had known each other for most of their lives. Anti-Sora was definetely more than just a lash-out against Sora...I think that everyone should take the time to think about that.
