Omnislash (超究武神覇斬 Choukyūbushinhazan , lit. "Super Tuition Martial God Supreme Slash") is a technique introduced in Kingdom Hearts. It allows the user to deal many hits on one or more enemies, dealing great damage. It is a signature attack for Cloud, who often uses it in battle. Recent appearances often involve flight in order to slash away from target to target at quick transition.
Mechanics
In Kingdom Hearts, Cloud as an enemy will first cause an aura of red lightning to appear around himself, all while causing his single wing to reveal itself, and take to the air for a bit in a hovering/floating fashion. During this time he will constantly flank Sora while trying to slash at him three times each, then discard the aura and wing and return to his normal state. Despite this move being its slowest here, it does a lot of damage if Sora isn't careful in timing his blocking/dodging accordingly.
Sephiroth himself is also able to use his own version of it in his battle in the same game, where it plays closer to the recent incarnations where it involves a finisher which a downward slash of energy is performed and more slashes are executed at a faster rate.
In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Omnislash is a Summon Sleight. It summons Cloud to the battlefield, whereupon he flies across the field, periodically slashing at enemies. In Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, additional attacks are added by pressing when prompted. Pressing at the wrong time will cancel the sleight. He unlike in the previous game, flies much higher in the air and swoops down at his targets instead of flying low to the ground. Its card combination is:
In Kingdom Hearts II, Cloud now uses an alternate version of it called "Warrior's Spirit", where it resembles a bit of his Dissidia series version of his Omnislash with elements of said series thrown into it, where this time, he lets out an aura around himself, and teleports all around mid-flight as he hacks and slashes at a faster rate. He then ends it with the Dissidia version of his Braver attack.
In Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, Omnislash is a special ability used by Cloud in the Labyrinth. Cloud will warp in front of an enemy and slash it four times, randomly switching to another enemy. The last slash follows with two finishing strikes on the same enemy, where Cloud does a moonsault slash in reverse grip and then does the current incarnation's downward slash finisher. The aura he dons before the attack resembles Gravity.

Other appearances
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Roxas and Xion's Event Horizon is similar to this move, as it involves rapid hacking during a mid-flight state to strike multiple targets at once.
Origin
Omnislash is the signature attack of Cloud Strife, and his strongest Limit Break in Final Fantasy VII.
