Protect (プロテス, Purotesu) is an ability which appears in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II. In Kingdom Hearts II, it can be found as Protect, Protera (プロテラ, Purotera), and Protega (プロテガ, Purotega). In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, "Protect" decreases the damage taken from an opponent's physical attacks.
