Sonic Blade, translated asSonic Rave inKingdom Hearts II, is a technique introduced inKingdom Hearts. It allows the user to execute a number of successive thrusting attacks.

Mechanics[edit]

Kingdom Hearts[edit]

InKingdom Hearts, Sonic Blade is aSpecial Ability that Sora can use while on the ground against a target at mid range. It lets Sora charge with the Keyblade up to seven times. In the original release, Sora is invulnerable during the technique; in theFinal Mix version, he is only invincible during the first thrust. Selecting theSonic (ソニック, Sonikku?) command from the last command bar executes the initial attack, an additional five attacks can be added by selecting theRave (レイヴ, Reivu?) command each time it becomes available, and the final, more powerful finishing strike is executed by selecting theBlast (フィニッシュ, Finisshu?, lit. "Finish") command when it appears. In theKingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX release ofKingdom Hearts Final Mix, the initial Sonic command, the Rave followups, and the Blast finisher are all implemented asReaction Commands, and it takes longer to perform as the prompt no longer appears the very same frame the hit lands. Sonic Blade costs 3AP to equip and 2MP to use.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories[edit]

InKingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Sonic Blade is anattack sleight that allows Sora to dash back and forth across the field, and can be steered slightly up or down as it is executed. The dashes are slower than in other games. The player can add six additional thrusts by pressingA after each dash. InKingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, the dashes automatically target an enemy and cover a greater distance with adding a knockback effect per blow. Additional attacks are activated by pressingTriangle when prompted. However, the timing is stricter, and pressingTriangle at the wrong time will cancel the sleight. If any of the six initial thrusts miss completely, the sleight will automatically cancel, making it ineffective against evasive airborne targets.

Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

InKingdom Hearts II, Sonic Rave is alimit that is exclusive toGenie. The limit begins withSonic, in which Genie transforms into a giant hand that Sora uses to smack enemies several times. Afterwards,Rave transforms Genie into a rocket that propels itself into enemies as Sora rides on top of it.

Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix[edit]

InKingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Sonic Rave is also anaction ability exclusive toLimit Form. It is alimit that is equipped by default and costs 60 MP to use. It is automatically assigned toCircle in the shortcuts menu. On activation, Sora performs the opening lunge attack, and up to five more attacks can be executed through theRaveReaction Command. Afterwards, the Reaction Command is replaced withFinish to perform the final attack, giving Limit Form 1 Exp Point. If used in midair, he will return to the ground before unleashing the thrusts.[?]

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep[edit]

InKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Sonic Blade is an Ultimateattack command that takes up one slot in the Command Deck, has a maximum level of 5, has a normal reload time of 15 seconds, and fills the Command Gauge by 20%. If used in midair, the user will return to the ground before unleashing the thrusts.[?]

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance[edit]

InKingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Sonic Blade is anattack command exclusive to Sora that uses two slots and has a reload time of 36 seconds. It lets the user relentlessly charge at the enemy ten times. It grants +3 toStrength and +1 toDefense when attached to aDream Eater recipe. This version of Sonic Blade does not require additional button presses and can be initiated in midair, but also lacks the invulnerability of previous versions.

Kingdom Hearts Union χ[edit]

InKingdom Hearts Union χ, Sonic Blade is aspecial attack that targets a single enemy. It costs 3 special attack gauges to perform. It inflicts more damage to sleeping targets.
