{{nihongo|'''Aerial Dodge'''|エアドッジ|Ea Dojji|lit. "Air Dodge"}} is a technique introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It allows the user to dodge in midair.

==Mechanics==
In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Aerial Dodge is a [[growth ability]] that costs 3 {{AP}} to equip. It allows [[Sora]] to perform a midair jump that deflects enemy attacks by pressing {{button|c}}, {{button|x}} in the Japanese releases, while the user is in midair. Leveling it up increases the arc of the dodge. Aerial Dodge gives momentum to [[Glide]] when the latter is used right after.

In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', Aerial Dodge is a movement ability that costs 3 {{AP}} to equip. It is activated by pressing {{button|s}} and tilting the left analog stick in mid-air during combat, and allows Sora to spin in a chosen direction. If [[Air Slide]] is equipped, Aerial Dodge replaces Air Slide in combat.
