Ok, I completed the game, but a bunch of the stuff about Riku still confuses me. Ok, so why did he need the blindfold? Was it to see through the darkness? And why did he become Ansem to use the Darkness if he always used the darkness before in that other form where he's like purple, ya know? And did Riku team up with Diz after they left Castle Oblivion?

The only thing I know is that he used the blindfold so his eyes couldn't fool him. I think they said that.

aug lots of questions
1he had the bling fold on because his eyes coulden'y lie
2 he had to submerge him sealf in darkness to become stronger but by doing that he took the apperance of ansem.(i don't know why)
3he and diz teamed up because they needened each other's help

He blindfold because he try to not to afraid of darkness...Becoming Ansem will have the full power of darkness unlike the previous form where Ansem in KH 1 use Riku body as a 'Experiment' of what he believe in existence of the heartless and he did team up with Diz because they want to destroy organization 13 plans...

I think he had the blind folds because if you use darkness your eyes turn orange (Like DIZ and Xehnorharts Heartless) .o

no thats not it, he had a blind fold over his eyes because his eyes can not lie he emerged himsealf into darkness and took ansem's form , he lied by saying his name was ansam,any way you know when you look people in their eyes and can tell when they are lying thats why he covered them, tried to fool himself.i think any way. it says it in a movie scean in the game

The blindfold was meant to prevent him from being fooled by the darkness. He took the form of Ansem to be able to control the darkness that he needed to wield, since he couldn't do it with his regular body, it wasn't strong enough. Since Ansem had already been controlling such powerful darkness, Riku decided that his would do.

No, if I believe correctly, Riku used the blindfold because while his body can fool the Organisation (he did sneak around there), his eyes can't at all so the Organisation would know that he's good and not evil like them. He took the form of Ansem (Xehanort's Heartless) because he lost to Roxas in the World That Never Was (aka World Of Darkness) and thought he needed to immerse himself in that very darkness to make himself stronger which did happen and since Ansem has a very strong link with the darkness, he turned into him.
