In a nutshell: In The World That Never Was, Riku explains to Sora that Roxas is his Nobody, and talks about how he fought Roxas twice-- he says he was defeated the first time, but the second time "[he] made sure [he] was the stronger one." Unless there's a part that happened in Days that I'm totally forgetting, Riku and Roxas technically only had one major fight. And Riku won. Mind, Riku had to release Ansem's power to beat Roxas because Roxas was stupid powerful, but he still won. Earlier in the world when Sora and Roxas fight, Roxas's basically says the same thing: "I defeated a Riku once," which would imply that Roxas remembers the fight where he beat Riku. BUT THAT NEVER ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Mind, we can blame Roxas' version of events on the fact that his head was messed with, but Riku's was not. Riku knows what actually happened: he and Roxas fought once, Roxas beat the shit out of him, but didn't actually win-- Riku did, after he called on Ansem's power to KO Roxas and bring him to DiZ.

So basically Riku's entire explanation to Sora about how he knows about Roxas is pretty skewed. UNLESS I HAVE MISSED SOMETHING, WHICH IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE-- this is the one that confuses me the most.

Yeah, unless they consider their brief bout against each other when Roxas was following stalker!Riku in Twilight Town as their first fight, which technically neither of them won, this doesn't make much sense.

Unless Riku considers the fights he had with Roxas as himself, and the fight he had with Roxas when he was wearing his Ansem-suit as two separate battles for... identity-clusterfuck reasons?

Oh Riku you so crazy.
