I'm afraid that it may not be possible to discuss the nature of a KKG without discussing others. Earth + Lightning definitely makes more sense for Steel than the only two left (air and fire + lighting). Because the nature of Explosion Release is based upon Deidera, not confirmed but extrapolated from said ninja, and it has a plausible alternative (lightning+fire), this discussion will pretty much deviate that way.

As i pointed out, Deidera's style doesn't fit an Elemental KKG, hence the position of Explosion = Lightning+Earth is uncertain. Gari, the KKG Explosion release user, uses a very different style of Explosions completely unlike Deidera. Thus, Explosion Release may be one of three (Lighting + Earth, Fire or air). Steel Release also needs a combo. Given that three of four elements used are intangible, a solid (earth) plus lightning combo makes a lot of sense. Explosion is entirely intangible, and energetic, hence Fire+Lightning makes more sense.

So, by discussing Deidera, we discuss the uncertain spots and hence discuss the possibilities for Steel Release. Although i would prefer to have someone ask Kishi about Swift, Steel, Explosion release as well as how Deidera's techniques work exactly.
