Story
Dynamic Pantheon
After being defeated by Empress Hazel, Riku was spirited away to Planet DP-71, where he joins forces with it's native heroes to fight the Neo Mikene Empire, who conspire to revive the ancient primordial being known as Ouranos for evil purposes, and the Space Spartans, who wish to prove themselves the strongest warrior race in the universe.
Riku is sent to raid the Space Spartans' royal vault, only to find the infamous Abashiri Family already trying to steal the riches for themselves, and gets into a physical confrontation with Kikunosuke Abashiri.
As the resistance gathers more support, they eventually suggest to Riku that he seek out Koji Kabuto, despite some resistance members believing reports that he had been killed in battle, and his search leads him to the Super Robot Mazinger Z, which Riku used in Koji's place until the latter returned.
At some point later, Riku is accosted by the Gamia Q trio, who manage to seduce him and take him to their bathhouse. He is later snapped out of his trance by Goemon's accidental interruption of his and the Gamias' sexy leisure time, and they escape the from bathhouse, locking the Gamias inside.
Getterborn Rising
Riku has a dream where he witnesses Shin Getter Robo destroying an army of giant Heartless, and it notices Riku shortly before he wakes up. After Sora is confronted by Cowen Stinger, Riku urges him not to cave in to Stinger's admonition and instead find another way to defeat the Getterborn.
Personality
Riku is a calm, cool, collected young man who is not afraid to go far beyond his limits. He initially had an unfavorable history with Sora, as shown in the original Kingdom Hearts, but over time, he became more heroic, and his rivalry with Sora is now of a friendly nature. Riku is also very protective of his friends, to the point where he takes serious wounds meant for Sora or Kairi(for example), and is willing to sacrifice himself for their sake.
Riku also usually tries to reason with Space Spartans, their commander, or Iron Masks before he is forced to fight them.
He's also quite chivalrous to nearly every girl he meets on DP-71, yet respectfully declines any advances made on him by Sirene, Sister Jill, and the Gamia Q.
Initially, Riku did not get along so well with the Abashiri Family, largely because of their dangerous criminal activities and demeanor, but he eventually allowed them into the Space Spartan Resistance, and began to tolerate their eccentric and sometimes lecherous tendencies, especially Goemon's after he saved Riku from the thrall of the Gamias.
