'''Sonic Blade''', translated as '''Sonic Rave''' in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', is a technique introduced in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. It allows the user to execute a number of successive thrusting attacks.

==Mechanics==
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Sonic Blade is a [[Special Ability]] that Sora can use while on the ground against a target at mid range. It lets Sora charge with the Keyblade up to seven times. In the original release, Sora is invulnerable during the technique; in the ''Final Mix'' version, he is only invincible during the first thrust. Selecting the {{nihongo|'''Sonic'''|ソニック|Sonikku}} command from the last command bar executes the initial attack, an additional five attacks can be added by selecting the {{nihongo|'''Rave'''|レイヴ|Reivu}} command each time it becomes available, and the final, more powerful finishing strike is executed by selecting the {{nihongo|'''Blast'''|フィニッシュ|Finisshu|lit. "Finish"}} command when it appears. In the ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX]]'' release of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'', the initial Sonic command, the Rave followups, and the Blast finisher are all implemented as [[Reaction Commands]], and it takes longer to perform as the prompt no longer appears the very same frame the hit lands. Sonic Blade costs 3 {{AP}} to equip and 2 [[MP]] to use.

===''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''===
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', Sonic Blade is an [[attack sleight]] that allows Sora to dash back and forth across the field, and can be steered slightly up or down as it is executed. The dashes are slower than in other games, allowing the player time to add up to six additional thrusts by pressing {{button|dsa}} at the end of each dash. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', the dashes automatically target an enemy and cover a greater distance with adding a knockback effect per blow. Additional attacks are activated by pressing {{button|t}} when prompted. However, not only is the timing stricter with pressing {{button|t}} at the wrong time canceling the sleight, but any targets that are not hit by any of the initial six thrusts will cancel the sleight regardless (especially against airborne targets at a high-enough height).
{{-}}

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Sonic Rave is a [[limit]] that is exclusive to [[Genie]]. The limit begins with {{nihongo|'''Sonic'''}}, in which Genie transforms into a giant hand that Sora uses to smack enemies several times. Afterwards, {{nihongo|'''Rave'''}} transforms Genie into a rocket that propels itself into enemies as Sora rides on top of it.

===''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix''===
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', Sonic Rave is also an [[action ability]] exclusive to [[Limit Form]]. It is a [[limit]] that is equipped by default and costs 60 MP to use. It is automatically assigned to {{button|c}} in the shortcuts menu. On activation, Sora performs the opening lunge attack, and up to five more attacks can be executed through the '''{{a|Rave}}''' [[Reaction Command]]. Afterwards, the Reaction Command is replaced with '''{{a|Finish}}''' to perform the final attack. If used in midair, he will return to the ground before unleashing the thrusts.{{?}}
{{-}}

===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', Sonic Blade is an Ultimate {{c|attack command|BBS}} that takes up one slot in the Command Deck, has a maximum level of 5, has a normal reload time of 15 seconds, and fills the Command Gauge by 20%. If used in midair, the user will return to the ground before unleashing the thrusts.{{?}}
{{-}}

===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', Sonic Blade is an {{c|attack command|DDD}} exclusive to Sora that uses two slots and has a reload time of 36 seconds. It lets the user relentlessly charge at the enemy ten times. It grants +3 to [[Strength]] and +1 to [[Defense]] when attached to a [[Dream Eater]] recipe. This version of Sonic Blade does not require additional button presses and can be initiated in midair, but also lacks the invulnerability of previous versions.
{{-}}

===''Kingdom Hearts Union χ''===
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Union χ]]'', Sonic Blade is a special attack that targets a single enemy. It costs 3 special attack gauges to perform. It inflicts more damage to sleeping targets.
{{UXdmg|dmg3a=2.30|dmg3b=3.60|in1=0.05|in2=0.10|hit3=6|hit6=8|tar=Single}}
{{-}}

'''Sonic Blade EX''' is a special attack that targets a single enemy. It costs 4 special attack gauges to perform. It raises the target's counter by 1, and inflicts more damage the lower the slot number.

===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', Sonic Blade is the second-level Finish Command of [[Second Form]]. After the initial thrust, Sora can use the '''Rave''' command to perform up to five dashing strikes, before finishing with the '''Blast''' command. Like its ''Dream Drop Distance'' incarnation, this version can be activated in midair. The user is invincible while using this ability.
