I still find the rationale used to determine that Explosion Release is earth and lightning rather flimsy. For me, Explosion Release would be fire and lightning, both elements that usually make stuff blow up. I also quite disliked the databook deduction by exclusion that Magnet Release is earth and wind. I can see either of those elements being part of Magnet Release, but in conjunction with lightning, not together. I think earth and lightning would have been the optimal combination. For lightning and wind, I think they could be used to make the Will of Fire's movie Swift Release. Both lightning and wind have attributes that can work together in increasing speed. I can see how they could also work for a Sound Release, but we've seen many sound related techniques already and they seem to rely on chakra natures, so I wouldn't bet on it. If Kishi did use fan ideas, I wish he'd use mine. I have a huge subpage with my speculations for all two element combos, and almost all three element combos. It's not updated to what the wiki currently lists though, for example the current definitions for Explosion Release and Magnet Release, and Blaze Release is still listed as its own, separate nature instead of being a fancy-named Fire Release.
