Sonic Blade

Sonic Blade (ソニックレイヴ), translated as "Sonic Rave" in Kingdom Hearts II, is a technique introduced in . It allows the user to execute a number of successive thrusting attacks. After the first attack, each successive attack is activated through a prompt command.

Mechanics
In Kingdom Hearts, selecting Sonic (ソニック) from the last command box activates the first attack, and if it connects, the command box will change to Rave (レイヴ). Selecting Rave executes the next attack in the sequence. Rave appears five times, if all the attacks connect, and is then replaced with Blast (フィニッシュ), which executes the powerful finishing thrust. In the Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX release of Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, the initial Sonic command, the Rave commands, and the Blast finisher are all implemented as Reaction Commands. Sonic Blade costs 3 to equip and 2 MP to use. Sora is invincible throughout the entire attack.

In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Sonic Blade is an attack sleight. Starting with the first thrust, pressing at the end of each thrust executes the next, for up to six additional attacks. Each thrust is naturally directed horizontally across the field, but it can be angled slightly up or down when executed. In Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, thrusts have 360-degree freedom, and additional attacks are activated by pressing when prompted. The timing is stricter than in the original Chain of Memories, and pressing at the wrong time cancels the sleight. The card combination for Sonic Blade is:

In Kingdom Hearts II, Sonic Rave is a limit that is exclusive to Genie. The limit begins with Sonic, 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.

In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Sonic Rave is also an action ability exclusive to Limit Form. It is a limit that is equipped by default and costs 60 MP to use. It is automatically assigned to in the shortcuts menu. On activation, Sora performs the opening lunge attack, and up to five more attacks can be executed through the Reaction Command. Afterwards, the Reaction Command is replaced with to perform the final attack.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Sonic Blade is an Ultimate 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%.

In Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Sonic Blade is an exclusive to Sora that uses two slots and has a reload time of 36 seconds. It grants +3 to Strength and +1 to Defense when attached to a Dream Eater recipe. Unlike in previous games, all the thrusts are automated with no need for button prompts, and Sora is no longer invincible during the whole sequence; Sonic Blade can also now be used in midair.
