Overdrive (Limit)

Overdrive is a limit that appears in Kingdom Hearts II. Together, Sora and Auron can use the joint attack, Bushido.

Mechanics
In Kingdom Hearts II, Overdrive is an action ability exclusive to Auron. It costs 3 to equip and all of Sora's MP to use. The Limit begins with Bushido (がりゅう), which causes Sora and Auron to stand back to back and slash enemies around them. Afterwards, two commands alternate between each other: Shooting Star (りゅうせい), in which the user spins around to attack enemies, and Banishing Blade (せいばつ), where the user leaps towards enemies and slices downwards with their weapon. Each of these two commands are spread out over the Attack and Reaction Command slots; Sora performs commands activated from the Attack slot while Auron executes commands triggered through the Reaction Commands. After three uses of Shooting Star, the command becomes the finishing move, Spiral (じんぷう), where Sora and Auron spin their weapons rapidly to create a large tornado that draws enemies in before dealing heavy damage. Sora cannot move freely during this limit. The limit can be cancelled early through the Stop (やめる) command in the Limit slot.
