{{nihongo|'''Retaliating Slash'''|リベンジスラッシュ|Ribenji Surasshu|lit. "Revenge Slash"}} is an ability that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It allows the user to regain their balance and attack after being knocked down. In [[Sora]]'s [[Lion Form]], the ability is dubbed '''Retaliating Smash'''.

==Mechanics==
In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Retaliating Slash is an [[action ability]] that costs 3 {{AP}} to equip, while Retaliating Smash is an action ability that is automatically equipped. It is used by pressing {{button|s}} after being knocked into the air. Sora will immediately upright himself in midair by unleashing a forward-moving string of three slashes, the first of which comes out the same frame the move is inputted. However, contrasting the defense-focused [[Aerial Recovery]], using it will remove the effects of abilities such as [[Second Chance]] and [[Once More]], potentially allowing Sora to be punished upon executing the attack at a bad time.

When executed in [[Valor Form]] or [[Wisdom Form]], Sora will simply perform the basic aerial attack of the respective forms.
