Explosion is an ability that appears in Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, and Kingdom Hearts III. It allows the user to generate a blast of magic that damages surrounding enemies.

Mechanics

In Kingdom Hearts II, Explosion is an action ability that costs 3 AP to equip. It is a ground combo finisher that activates if Sora is surrounded by multiple enemies, or by default if Guard Break is not equipped. It deals four hits to enemies, followed by an additional two hits from the knockback. Explosion deals Neutral damage relative to Sora's Magic stat.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Explosion is a Level 5 Finish command. The user charges energy briefly before slamming their Keyblade down, creating a large rippling shockwave of light that stuns foes.

In Kingdom Hearts III, Explosion is an ability accessible in Second Form. It is the form's first ground combo finisher and deals Neutral damage. The attack has more vertical and less horizontal range than in Kingdom Hearts II.
