I have a lot of problems with the whole Deidara thing, most of all is the fact that he needs to gather actual clay for his jutsu. We've seen KKG users be good at both component elements, yet Deidara used only the most minimal earth release techniques. Why wouldn't he just create some clay with Earth Release, or use an earth release jutsu to create other kinds of bombs? Yet he can shape the clay once it's infused with his chakra, making me extremely skeptical that his KKG has earth release in it. Especially since he never uses the Earth seal to detonate his bombs (the whole basis that his techniques use Earth release). Meaning, his clay bombs are likely his Earth release and his explosive chakra is something else.

I'm not sure how i'm supposed to feel about crystal release. Steel release makes sense, and quite honestly i wonder why Kishimoto never introduced it directly. Magnet release also makes sense.

It's interesting to note, i think, that Lava Release is connected by a common thread: Mei spews volcanic mud, rubber is vulcanized and magma is obviously volcano-related.
