'''Zantetsuken''' is a technique introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]''. It allows the user to execute a single, impossibly fast [[Keyblade]] strike, usually dealing a devastating amount of damage.


==Mechanics==
==Description==
In ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'', Zantetsuken is a [[combat ability]] that costs 2 {{AP}} to equip. It gives [[Sora]] a 30% chance to deliver a ground combo finisher that deals {{c|Percentage|element}} damage equivalent to 250% of the enemy's HP. After hitting the target, Sora takes 1.1 seconds to recover.
Break a card and render it unrelodable until th end of the battle. - KHCOM


In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', Zantetsuken is an [[attack sleight]] that renders the opponent's cards unreloadable when breaking them with it, no matter if it hits or misses, and deals a small amount of damage. If a sleight or card stack gets broken by Zantetsuken, all three cards become unreloadable. The broken cards may still be restored through [[Item card]]s that reload unreloadable cards such as Elixirs, however.<!--https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5STf_mgwX0--> It has no effect on enemies or bosses that do not use card decks, and it does not affect cards broken through a tie. Additionally, Zantetsuken can be used to repeatedly card break bosses with card decks in order to render them unable to attack and have them keep reloading their deck.


In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', Zantetsuken is an [[action ability]] available in [[Limit Form]]. It is a ground combo finisher that activates when Sora is attacking a single target. It is three times as strong as a normal finisher, making it the most powerful single-hitting attack available to Sora, although it eats up an entire Form Gauge without [[Form Boost]] equipped. The [[Zantetsu Counter]] ability allows Sora to use it as a counterattack during a successful Guard.<!--https://docs.google.com/document/d/10-XkqDEOKRMwXfVVMh9I52bYxRI-B3MG5SAqaQ1EZns/edit?usp=sharing-->

[[File:Ultimate KHREC.png]] In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'', Zantetsuken is an {{c|attack command|RCO}} that has a memory consumption of 22% and a normal reload time of 25 seconds. On top of its high critical hit rate, it deals 50% more added damage than normal when dealing a critical hit and boosts the Clock Gauge 50% more than usual. If the [[Zantetsu Prime]] ability is active, Zantetsuken will destroy non-boss enemies in a single stroke if a critical hit is dealt, tripling the normal Clock Gauge boost if successful. If used in midair, Data-Sora will return to the ground before performing the attack.
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', Zantetsuken is an Ultimate {{c|attack command|BBS}} exclusive to [[Terra]] that may destroy enemies in a single stroke. It takes up one slot in the Command Deck, has a maximum level of 5 and a normal reload time of 20 seconds, and fills the Command Gauge by 40%. The activation of Zantetsuken is indicated by the surroundings darkening and the weapon glowing.
 
In ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', Zantetsuken is an {{c|attack command|DDD}} exclusive to [[Riku]] that inflicts the {{h|Zantetsuken}} status to the target if activated. It takes up two slots in the Command Deck and has a reload time of 32 seconds. It grants +4 to [[Strength]] when attached to a [[Dream Eater]] recipe. When used, there is a 50% chance that Zantetsuken's status effect will be activated, indicated by a the camera tilting and a screen cut effect once Riku warps behind the enemy. Enemies without Zantetsuken resistance will be defeated with a single blow, while enemies with Zantetsuken resistance instead take a 1.6 power neutral damage attack. <!-- (what version of the game?) Activating and landing a failed Zantetsuken as a Portal's time limit expires or when exiting the portal manually can sometimes cause the game to freeze.-->
 
In ''Kingdom Hearts Union χ'', Zantetsuken is a [[special attack]] that targets all enemies. It costs 2 special attack gauges to perform. It inflicts more damage the lower {{c|Player|KHχ}}'s HP.
