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 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-->

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.
