Maybe, just like Omnibender said, Earth was what made the doll move, not what made them explode. Also, correct me if I am wrong, but Deidara used the Doton hand sign to make the doll move... when he made them explode he used a different sign (the Tiger, if I remember correctly)

I would agree on Steel = Earth + Lightning and Explosion = Fire + Lightning but well... I was also sure that Crystal = Earth + Wind and Magnet = Lightning + Wind, and see what Kishi did with the databook... That wouldn't work. Magnet Release was confirmed to be a KKG, and Rasa's natures were confirmed to be Wind, Earth & Water. Water + Wind = Ice, and Earth + Water = Wood. That just leaves one possible option....Earth + Wind.

I remember Shikamaru stating in Part 1 vs. Tayuya that his techniques use "special" chakra, or something to that effect. Point being, it isn't "elemental".
