{{Expand|create= BbS reaction commands}}
{{nihongo|'''Reaction Commands'''|リアクションコマンド|Riakushon Komando}} are a feature introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', intended to extend the level of combat. By pressing {{button|t}} in specific contexts, the player character will perform a specific action indicated by the title of the command. These reactions are generally combat maneuvers used to gain the upper hand against enemies, though they are also used for more mundane actions such as talking to other characters and opening chests. Occasionally, some Reaction Commands must be completed in order to end a battle.

[[File:World of Nothingness Battle 01 KHII.png|thumb|The Sky Scraper Reaction Command as it appears in the World of Nothingness boss battle]]
'''Reaction Commands''' are a feature introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', intended to extend the level of combat. By pressing {{button|t}} at certain moments in battle (or occasionally outside of battle), [[Sora]] will perform a specific action, which is indicated by the title of the command. These reactions are mostly combat maneuvers that are used to gain the upper hand on enemies, though they are also used to talk to people and open chests. Occasionally, some Reaction Commands must be completed in order to end the battle. Interestingly enough, almost none of the Reaction Commands require that you press triangle the moment it appears; in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', if you cannot press the button at the right moment, you will suffer no penalty by rapidly pressing {{button|t}} until the command is initiated. There are only three commands in the entire game that penalize such action. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', however, if you press {{button|t}} too early during a Sleight, the Sleight will end.


Only a select few Reaction Commands require the player to press {{button|t}} the moment it appears; in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', one can press {{button|t}} until the command is initiated, suffering no penalty if {{button|t}} is not pressed at the right moment. Only three Reaction Commands in the entirety of ''Kingdom Hearts II'' penalize such an action. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', pressing {{button|t}} too early during the execution of a Sleight prevents the attack from being completed.
==Non-battle Reaction Commands==
===Talk===
Used to talk to NPCs.
Sora can talk to his party members at certain points in the game, when they are not moving together with him. Some examples are at the Altar of Naught in [[The World That Never Was]], and when on the ''Interceptor'' or the ''Black Pearl'' in [[Port Royal]].


In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', Reaction Commands are replaced by [[Special Command]]s. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', Reaction Commands are replaced by [[Situation Command]]s.
===Open===
Sora or [[Roxas]] uses the [[Keyblade]] and/or the [[Struggle]] weapon to open chests. Unlike in ''Kingdom Hearts'', this can also be done during battle.


==''Kingdom Hearts''==
===Skateboard===
In the ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX]]'' version of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'', commands that appeared in the fourth command slot have been changed to appear as reaction commands separate from the menu, and overlap with the party member command button. As a result, the summon command has been shifted into the fourth slot.
Mount a [[skateboard]]. Other commands include:

==''Birth by Sleep'' Reaction Commands==
In ''Birth by Sleep'', Reaction Commands only appear during special event battles, usually when the protagonist is fighting alongside another character. Instead of using a separate dedicated button, Reaction Commands simply replace the attack button ({{button|x}}) when they become available.
 
<!--Like ''Kingdom Hearts II'', it can be used to open chests or examine.-->
 
*'''Use Transporter''': Transports player to and from the Mirage Arena.
 
*'''Goal''': When escorting a character, such as [[Jaq]] or [[Snow White]], Goal ends the escorting task, meaning the battle to the goal is over, like a finish line.
 
*'''Avenger''': When party members are hurt, various Avenger commands can be used to attack or defend against nearby enemies with the square button. Includes Avenger Rush, Avenger Save, etc.
 
*'''White Calm''': When [[Ventus]] escorts [[Snow White]], trees will attempt to scare her by blowing on her. If she yells, "help me!", then pressing the square button activates White Calm, which is a command that releases a tornado of light picking up enemies and stunning them if they survive. It also stops the tree. It is identical to [[Sign of Faith]].
 
*'''Last Dance''': While [[Terra]] escorts [[Cinderella]] to the ballroom, an enemy may attack her. To defend her, Terra presses the square button, then "X" to activate Last Dance, where Terra slams his keyblade into the ground, creating a shockwave that takes out the nearby [[Unversed]].
 
*'''Joint Force''': During Ventus' battle with Maleficent, she will do a move that puts Ventus to sleep. To avoid it, Ven can press the square button at a circle of light that [[Flora]], [[Fauna]], and [[Merryweather]] cast. It causes the player to press the buttons either clockwise or counterclockwise. If it is executed successfully, Joint Force can be used. It causes Ventus to launch a ball towards Maleficent that puts her asleep and deals damage.
 
*'''Selfless Prince''': When [[Prince Phillip]] is a party member, he will signal you to come towards him, waving his shield and saying, "Here", and then you press the square button to activate the command. [[Aqua]] and Prince Phillip lock hands and jump in the air striking either a platform or [[Maleficent]] herself to allow you to jump up on it. It deals damage and gives you a boost.
 
*'''Astro Shot/Strike''': When [[Experiment 626]] is a party member, he will occasionally hop up and down with a white halo around him. Pressing the square button next to him causes you to grab him in a ball shape and throw him at enemies. In the [[Gantu]] and [[Metamorphosis]] boss battles, it is Astro Strike, but in the [[Deep Space|Turo Prison Block]], it is Astro Shot.
 
*'''Swing Slash''': In the [[Jellyshade]] battle in [[Olympus Coliseum]], [[Hercules]] will occasionally activate this move. If you hit the square button, Hercules will pick you up and swing you, but you must swing the control stick clockwise in addition. After it is charged up, you can use Swing Slash, which makes you rocket into the Jellyshade crowd defeating anything on contact. Failure to swing quick enough ends the move and makes Hercules flinch.
 
*'''Bronco Strike''': During the [[Lucifer]] boss battle, Lucifer may jump up on to a high piece of furniture and perform a long pounce. If the player dodges it, they can strike Lucifer and activate the command with the square button. If they press the shown buttons at the right time while riding Lucifer, they can activate this Reaction Command which causes Ven to unleash multiple strikes upon Lucifer and stun him.
 
*'''Turnover''': Used in the [[Cursed Coach]] battle, Turnover can be used when an attack is blocked and it involves striking the coach multiple times and having it turn over and become stunned, until it flips over and spins attacking close players.
 
*'''Burst of Faith''': When [[Mickey]] is a party member, he may yell, "Let's team up!" This signals you to get close to Mickey and press the square button. You then start spinning after activating the command attacking nearby enemies with rays of light. It gives you invincibility and is useful in the [[Ventus-Vanitas]] battle when he uses his charged attack.
 
*'''Dual Limit''': In the final battle against [[Terra-Xehanort]], the guardian may come up and grab you. If so, you must press the X button repeatedly to break free. When you break free, you enter a bright area where [[Terra]] is behind a guardian who is trying to attack you. If you go to Terra without getting hit, and you press the square button, Dual Limit will be activated, and so you must press X at the right time to deal light damage in a big blast. Almost identical to [[Trinity Limit]].
