  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

'''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==
==Mechanics==
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.
In ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'', Zantetsuken is a [[combat ability]] that grants [[Sora]] a powerful combo finisher 30% of the time. It does percentage-based damage equivalent to 250% of the enemy's HP and requires 2 {{AP}} to equip.


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: Chain of Memories]]'', Zantetsuken is an [[attack sleight]] that renders the opponent's cards unreloadable if it is used to break them. Its card combination is:
:{{sleight|Kingdom Key|Kingdom Key|Kingdom Key|0 or 27}}.


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-->
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', Zantetsuken is an [[action ability]] used in [[Limit Form]] that grants Sora a powerful combo finisher. It consumes a bar from the Form Gauge when used.


[[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%.

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.-->

The first ground combo attack of [[Roxas]] and [[Xion]]'s [[Omega Weapon]] and the ground combo finishers of Roxas and Xion's [[Oathkeeper]] and [[Two Become One]] and Sora's [[Dream Sword]] resemble Zantetsuken.
While wielding the [[Oathkeeper]], [[Two Become One]], or [[Dream Sword]], the ground combo finisher is a Zantetsuken-like slash.

Data-Sora's second ranged ground finish is an attack similar to Zantetsuken.
Data-Sora's second ranged ground finish is a Zantetsuken-like slash without the reverse grip twirl (just like the Zantetsuken itself in this game). Both this finisher and the original Zantetsuken oddly also have Sora slashing the opponent with the "blade" of the Keyblade, and not with the teeth.

In the ''{{ff|Final Fantasy (series)|Final Fantasy}}'' series, {{nihongo|{{ff|Zantetsuken (ability)|Zantetsuken}}|斬鉄剣||lit. "Iron-cutting Sword"}} is the signature attack of the summon {{ff|Odin}}, and it is sometimes mimicked by {{ff|Gilgamesh (character)|Gilgamesh}}. It typically inflicts Instant Death upon all enemies. It shares its name with a {{ff|Zantetsuken (weapon)|recurring weapon}}. The term Zantetsuken is derived from a nickname given to swords crafted by Japanese swordsmith [https://books.google.com/books?id=BWy3gx-0PR8C&pg=PA136 Yasuhiro Kobayashi].
