Block

Guard is an ability that Sora can use in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II, and Kingdom Hearts coded. In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days the ability is known as Block, and is an ability panel. It is one of the most invaluable abilities in each game. It is triggered using in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II and the Y button in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. In Kingdom Hearts coded, you can use a Guard License upon the acquisition of the Hero's License.

It can not only deflect enemy attacks, but it also bounces back projectiles (Fat Bandit's fireballs, Fortuneteller's icicles, etc.)

Also, some enemies have moves or abilities similar to Guard (ex: Large Body's stomach).
