Crisis[]

Riku is on Luigi's faction in Nintendo Civil War. He wields his "Ansem Riku" abilities in this time. He betrays the faction and kills Dimentio to throw all the worlds into everlasting darkness. He is beaten by Mario's faction and is knocked into a coma. Dimentio was then resurrected by the Neverworlder.

Death[]

After being knocked into a coma, he was killed by the Pied Piper (the Piper was the result of the reborn Dimentio's fusion with Boo and Luigi). The Piper then absorbs his Ansem Riku powers and uses them to ensure that Riku will never return from the dead.
