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.

Kingdom Hearts
In Kingdom Hearts, Sonic Blade is a Special 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. Sora is invulnerable during the technique, save for in the Final Mix version where he is only invincible during the first thrust. Selecting the Sonic (ソニック) command from the last command bar executes the initial attack, an additional five attacks can be added by selecting the Rave (レイヴ) command each time it becomes available, and the final, more powerful finishing strike is executed by selecting the Blast (フィニッシュ) command when it appears. In the Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX release of Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, the initial Sonic command, the Rave followups, and the Blast finisher are all implemented as Reaction Commands. Sonic Blade costs 3 to equip and 2 MP to use.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories
In Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Sonic Blade is an attack 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, allowing the player time to add up to six additional thrusts by pressing at the end of each dash. In Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, the dashes automatically target an enemy and cover a greater distance, although they can miss if the target is airborne. Additional attacks are activated by pressing when prompted, but the timing for the press is stricter, and pressing  at the wrong time cancels the sleight. The card combination for Sonic Blade is:
