In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Guard is an [[combat ability]] that costs 2 {{AP}} to equip. It is a single blocking swing triggered by pressing {{button|s}} while standing stationary or walking, making it easier to meet with incoming attacks without needing Sora to deflect/clash with it via an attack of his own. Just like with attacking the incoming move, if the recoil value of Sora's Keyblade is greater than that of the blocked attack, Sora will recover quickly and will be able to use [[Counterattack]]. If the recoil of the blocked attack is greater, Sora will suffer a longer period of recoil.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Guard is an [[action ability]] that costs 2 AP to equip. It is triggered by pressing {{button|s}} while standing stationary or walking. Roxas's version of Guard only blocks attacks from the front, while Sora's version can also block some attacks from the rear during activation due to the initial spin. Guard provides invulnerability to damage for applicable attacks during a successful animation, which unlike in ''Kingdom Hearts'' shows Sora/Roxas recoiling in a defensive state as opposed to being staggered. {{nihongo|'''Block'''|ガード|Gādo|lit. "Guard}} also appears as a Reaction Command that can be used to negate {{ns|Game|Sephiroth}}'s Swift Slash attack.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', Block is an [[ability panel]]. It is triggered by pressing {{button|dsy}} while standing stationary, and holding the button extends the duration of the block whenever any attacks come into contact in succession. It can be upgraded from '''Block LV1''' up to '''Block LV2''', '''Block LV3''', and '''Block LV4''' by linking {{nihongo|'''Block LV+ Ⓛ'''|ガードアップⓁ|Gādo Appu Ⓛ|lit. "Guard Up Ⓛ"}} panels to it. Increasing the ability's level decreases the time after a block during which commands are unavailable and decreases the recoil that occurs after a successful block. It can also be linked to various sub-panels, which can be synthesized at the Moogle Shop.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', Block is an {{c|action ability|kh3}} that costs 2 {{AP}} to equip. It is triggered by pressing {{button|s}} while standing stationary only. Unlike in previous games, Block can be used while airborne and while underwater. Block has an area of effect of 220° in front of Sora (certain attacks can be blocked regardless of the direction Sora is facing) and a duration of 0.6 seconds. After a successful Block, Sora will continue blocking any attacks that connect until his guard is lowered; each subsequent connection will reset the guard stance. Some enemy attacks can break Sora's guard, which staggers him and immediately renders him vulnerable to damage unless the [[Risk Dodge]] ability is equipped and is activated. As of version 1.09, attacks that are unblockable are telegraphed with a red circle whenever they connect with Sora outside of the active period of a [[Dodge Roll]] or [[Air Slide]].
