Lunge 'n' Launch

When performing Guard Break, Sora twirls his Keyblade while doing a single hop back to wind it up beside himself, rushing forward with a two-handed thrust of light ending in a turn that launches targets.

Guard Break (ストライドブレイク, Sutoraido Bureiku, lit. "Stride Break") is a technique that appears in Kingdom Hearts II. It allows the user to unleash a powerful finishing combo move while piercing through an enemy's guard.
