Sonic Blade

Sonic Blade (ソニックレイヴ, Sonikku Reivu, lit. "Sonic Rave") is an ability that appears in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Sonic Blade is a technique that lets the user execute a number of successive thrusting attacks. After the first attack, execute each successive attack by using the prompted command.

In Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, selecting Sonic Blade from the last command box activates the first attack, and if it connects, the command box will change to Rave. Selecting Rave executes the next attack in the sequence. Rave appears five times, if all the attacks connect, and is then replaced with Blast, which executes the powerful finishing thrust. In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, pressing at the end of each thrust executes the next, for up to six additional attacks. In Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, each attack after the initial thrust is activated by pressing at the prompt, for up to six additional attacks. In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, selecting Sonic Blade from the Limit menu with activates the first attack, and using the Rave Reaction Command executes the next attack in the sequence. Rave appears five times, and it is then replaced by the Finish Reaction command, which executes the final attack. Sonic Blade costs 3 AP and 2 MP bars in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, and it costs 60 MP in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix.
