'''Reaction Commands''' are a feature introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', intended to extend the level of combat. By pressing {{button|t}} in specific contexts, the player avatar 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. 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.

Only three Reaction Commands in the entirety of ''Kingdom Hearts II'' penalize such an action.

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.

'''''Note''''': ''Reaction commands only appear within the ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX]]'' version of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]''.
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.

<includeonly>
==Non-battle Reaction Commands==
===Open===
Used to open chests.
Sora/[[Roxas]] uses their weapon to open a nearby treasure chest. Unlike in ''Kingdom Hearts'', this can also be done during battle.
===Skateboard===
Used to mount skateboards.
Sora/Roxas mounts a [[skateboard]]. He then gains access to the following commands:
;On the ground
*{{button|c}}: '''Jump''' ({{button|x}} in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'')
*{{button|x}}: '''Heelflip'''
*{{button|s}}: '''Get off'''
;Grinding
*{{button|c}}: '''Pop-Jump'''
*{{button|t}} (near an edge): '''Grind'''
*{{button|s}} (while grinding): '''Handstand'''
;In midair
*{{button|c}}: '''Air Walk'''
*{{button|x}}: '''360° spin'''
*{{button|s}}: '''Method Grab'''
<!--If I got the commands wrong, please help rename them for me. Thanks.-->
These commands are essential at the beginning of ''Kingdom Hearts II'' when Roxas does odd jobs to save money to go the beach, such as [[Mail Delivery]].
'''Note:''' The commands for '''360° Spin''' and '''Air Walk''' are switched in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix''.
===Save===
Used to access a [[Save Point]]. Players can save their progress.
==In-battle Reaction Commands==
===[[Nobody|Nobodies]]/[[Organization XIII]]===
====<font size="3">General Nobodies</font>====
Certain reaction commands are available between certain bosses and their respective Nobodies; as such, they have been placed in the same categories as the Boss itself.
*'''Reversal'''
:Sora/Roxas does a quick 180° slide, confusing the Dusk. If used when a [[Creeper]] is nearby, it will be confused as well.
:''Used Against:'' [[Dusk]]
:'''Note:''' In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', Sora can use this Reaction Command in his battle against Roxas in The World That Never Was.
*'''Fail-Safe'''
:Sora grabs an Assassin that is about to self-destruct and throws it towards the ground. This destroys the Assassin while dealing damage to nearby enemies and forcing other Assassins to emerge from the ground.
:''Used Against:'' [[Assassin]]
*'''Duel Stance'''
:Sora must select "The End" in the command list before time is up to slash through the Samurai, but if too much time passes, Sora will lose the duel and be slashed instead. In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', the player has to hit the "O" in the menu bar to slash through the Samurai; selecting any one of the three "X" commands or not selecting anything at all will result in a loss of the duel.
:''Used against:'' [[Samurai]]
:'''Note:''' In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', Sora may be forced to select "The End" in the command list before time runs out during his battle with Roxas. Successfully doing this will allow Sora to steal Roxas's Keyblades and use them against him; failure allows Roxas to slice through Sora and deal a large amount of damage to him.

:Begins a game where player has to hit {{button|x}} at the right time. If the player fails, Sora is turned into a die by the Gambler.
:''Used against:'' [[Gambler]].

==''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' Reaction Commands==
In ''Kingdom Hearts 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. Reaction Commands are also used in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' to open treasure chests and examine nearby objects.
*'''Use Transporter''': Transports the player to and from the Mirage Arena.
*'''Goal''': When escorting a character, such as [[Jaq]] or [[Snow White]], Goal ends the task.
*'''Avenger''': When party members are hurt, various Avenger commands can be used to attack or defend against nearby enemies with {{button|s}}. Avenger commands include Avenger Rush, Avenger Save, and others.
*'''White Calm''': When [[Ventus]] escorts [[Snow White]], trees will attempt to scare her by blowing on her. If she yells, "Help me!", then pressing {{button|s}} activates White Calm, which is a command that releases a tornado of light that picks up enemies and stuns them if they survive. It also stops the trees from attacking Snow White. White Calm is identical to [[Sign of Faith]].
*'''Last Dance''': While [[Terra]] escorts [[Cinderella]] to the ballroom, an enemy may attack her. To defend her, press {{button|s}}, then {{button|x}} to activate Last Dance, during which Terra slams his Keyblade into the ground, creating a shockwave that takes out nearby [[Unversed]].
*{{nihongo|'''Joint Force'''|ジョイントフォース|Jointo Fōsu}}: Used in response to Maleficent's "Cursed Light" when standing within the circle of light created by [[Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather]]. Joint Force requires the player to press the buttons that appear onscreen in either a clockwise or counterclockwise fashion. It causes Ventus to launch a ball of light towards Maleficent that inflicts {{c|Sleep|status}} and deals damage.
*{{nihongo|'''Selfless Prince'''|プリンソセッション|Purinsu Sesshon|lit. "Prince Session"}}: When [[Prince Phillip]] is a party member, he will signal Aqua to come towards him, waving his shield and saying, "Here." After pressing {{button|s}}, Aqua and Prince Phillip join hands; Phillip tosses Aqua into the air, allowing her to strike either a high platform or [[Maleficent]] herself.
*'''Astro Shot/Strike''': When [[Experiment 626]] is a party member, he will occasionally hop up and down with a white halo around him. Pressing {{button|s}} while standing next to him causes the player character to grab him as he curls into a ball; the player character then throws him the enemy. In the [[Gantu]] and [[Metamorphosis]] boss battles, this command is called "Astro Strike," but in the [[Deep Space|Turo Prison Block]], it is called "Astro Shot."
[[File:Swing Slash KHBBS.gif|thumb|300px|Ventus using Swing Slash alongside Hercules in Olympus Coliseum.]]
*'''Swing Slash''': In the [[Jellyshade]] battle in [[Olympus Coliseum]], [[Hercules]] will occasionally activate this move. If the player hits {{button|s}}, Hercules will pick Ventus up and swing him, but the player must also spin the analog stick clockwise to charge the attack. After it is charged up, the player can use Swing Slash, which makes Ventus rocket into the Jellyshade crowd, defeating anything in his path. Failure to spin the analog stick quick enough ends the move and makes Hercules flinch.
*'''Bronco Strike''': During the [[Lucifer]] boss battle, Lucifer may jump up onto a high piece of furniture and pounce. If Ventus dodges it, he can strike Lucifer and activate the command with the {{button|s}}. If the player presses the shown buttons at the right time while riding Lucifer, he or she can activate this Reaction Command which, causes Ventus to unleash multiple strikes upon Lucifer and stun him.
*'''Turnover''': In the battle against the [[Cursed Coach]], Turnover can be used when an attack is blocked. This Reaction Command causes Aqua to strike the Unversed multiple times, causing it to turn over and become stunned for a short time.
*'''Burst of Faith''': When [[Mickey]] is a party member, he may yell, "Let's team up!" This signals the player to get close to Mickey and press the {{button|s}}. Ventus or Aqua then starts spinning with Mickey after activating the command; they attack nearby enemies with rays of light. Burst of Faith grants invincibility, which is useful in the [[Ventus-Vanitas]] battle, during which the boss uses a powerful charged attack.
*'''Dual Limit''': In the final battle against [[Terra-Xehanort]], the Guardian may grab Aqua. If so, the player must press {{button|x}} repeatedly to break free. When Aqua breaks free, she enters a bright area where [[Terra]] is; the Guardian attempts to keep her from reaching him. If Aqua reaches Terra without getting hit, and the player presses {{button|s}}, Dual Limit will be activated. Press {{button|x}} at the right time in order to deal heavy damage to the Guardian. This Reaction Command is almost identical to [[Trinity Limit]].
 
==Other appearances==
===''Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX''===
In  ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX]]'', the fourth command in ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'', which previously enabled actions and special abilities, has been replaced with the [[Summon]] option. Now, the player can use {{button|t}} to trigger actions such as '''Talk''' and '''Open'''. {{button|t}} can also be used to fully execute special abilities such as [[Strike Raid]].

The Sky Scraper Reaction Command as it appears in the Xemnas (Dragon) boss battle.

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 Triangle 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.

Only a select few Reaction Commands require the player to press Triangle the moment it appears; in Kingdom Hearts II, one can press Triangle until the command is initiated, suffering no penalty if Triangle 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 Triangle too early during the execution of a Sleight prevents the attack from being completed.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Reaction Commands are replaced by Special Commands. In Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- and Kingdom Hearts III, Reaction Commands are replaced by Situation Commands.

Kingdom Hearts[edit]

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.
