{{nihongo|'''Zantetsuken'''|ザンテツケン}} is an ability which appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', and "[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]". It consists of holding the Keyblade tip-backwards, then performing a single powerful slash through the opponent's body so quickly that the cut doesn't appear until after the technique is finished. It is usually a ground combo finisher, and can defeat minor enemies in a single hit. In ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'' it requires 2 AP to equip, while in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' it is only available while using [[Limit Form]]. In ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', the damage it inflicts is sharply reduced, and instead it is able to break the opponent's card and render it unreloadable.
