Sora performing Dodge Roll in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories

Dodge Roll is an ability Sora can use in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Re:Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix. In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, it is learned and leveled up by leveling up Limit Form, while in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, it takes the form of an ability panel that can be leveled up from Dodge Roll LV1 to Dodge Roll LV2 and Dodge Roll LV3 by linking Dodge Roll LV+ panels. Leveling up increases the distance covered by the roll. It also takes the form of a Reaction Command in Kingdom Hearts II.

"Dodge Roll", as its name implies, is a short leap forward used to dodge attacks. While dodge rolling, Sora is invulnerable to enemy attacks, making it an invaluable ability for escaping dangerous situations in battle. In Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix it is triggered by pressing . In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories tapping a direction in the control pad twice triggers it during battle. In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days it is triggered by pressing Y and a direction on the control pad.

Dodge Roll also has a minor reference in the Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories manga. Sora breaks the fourth wall be mentioning that the ability is different from its incarnation in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.
