The only problem is Yamato and Kakashi's clear demonstration that Earth and Water together produce the Wood.

For Explosion being Lightning+Earth, it doesn't really make sense to me that a nature that is part Lightning would be weak to Lightning. Since Earth is weak to Lightning, by that logic it shouldn't be possible to combine them, but it is, so I don't see why it should be weak to more Lightning.

Fire+Lightning seem more reasonable to me for Explosion, with Earth serving simply for the clay.

For example the aforementioned Wood is both Earth and Water, yet we haven't seen Wood Release being weak to Lightning, by Pokemon standards it should have a double weakness to it :D

Anyway, the clay got clearly called Earth Clay, so Earth Release must be responsible for it. But is that really proof that Explosion Release is part Earth because of that?
