Sonic Blade (ソニックレイヴ, Sonic Rave) is Sora's side special move.
Overview[edit]
Sora dashes forward with a quick thrusting attack of his Keyblade while saying "Take this!" (
When using it for recovery, holding the special button will cause the final charge to home in on the nearest ledge. It can also be canceled out of Aerial Sweep at the peak of the move, although the reverse is not possible.
Instructional quote[edit]
Move List | You can enter up to two inputs while charging forward. Directional inputs send you that way, while the special-move button sends you toward opponents. |
Origin[edit]
Sonic Blade is a recurring ability in the Kingdom Hearts series. It was introduced in the original game as one of Sora's special abilities, in which he dashes at enemies up to 6 times before finishing them off with a final thrust. Cloud Strife also uses Sonic Blade in his battle against Sora in Olympus Coliseum.
Sora obtains this ability by speaking to Cloud after defeating Cerberus in Olympus Coliseum's Preliminary Tournament. In later games and in the HD 1.5 ReMIX version, it is implemented as a Reaction Command. Early incarnations of the ability can only be executed on the ground, but its iterations from Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance and Kingdom Hearts III can be performed in mid-air, like in Ultimate.
Lock-On is a targeting mechanism in the series, allowing the user to permanently target a single enemy or attackable object.
