yoakenomichi:

every now and then i remember how ridiculous re:coded had been… i mean:

Data-Riku: Of all the possible vessels to protect the data, I was chosen from the journal’s pages.

(…)

Data-Riku: So, in a way… what I really am is Jiminy’s journal.

—————

Data-Riku: Everything in Jiminy’s journal revolved around one person, and that person is you, Sora. Without you, there never would have been any entries.

so let me get this straight (*cough*)…

out of countless people with an entry in the journal, riku’s physical appearance was deemed the best one to:

1) embody the one object whose sole reason for existence is sora.

2) embody the vessel who also serves to protect the contents of the journal (aka sora and his memories) from further harm & corruption due to bugs.

so like… even when riku is not-riku, he’s still out there trying to protect sora in all shapes and forms.

that’s some fucking dedication right there.
