User:GoDai/Ideas and Theories

Note: I definitely place manga ahead of anime/movies in my assumptions and theories.

=Godai Seishitsu Henka, Combinations, and theories=

1st Combination Theory (involves Movie-only elements)
I have been thinking, and this is another theory, which may have many problems, but maybe you could help. This is it: There are 2 types of elemental recomposition: Opposite and Adjacent.
 * Opposite recomposition includes Ice, Lava, Storm, and Dust, where the elements being recomposed both have a relationship with another element, one superior and the other inferior (e.g. Water → Fire → Wind; Water + Wind = Ice, so Ice is the opposite of Fire, because the Fire chakra will be strong against the Wind component of Ice chakra, but weak to the Water component). This type of recomposition produces an element that is an "opposite" of a basic element. By my theory, Ice is the opposite of Fire, Lava is the opposite of Water, Storm is the opposite of Earth, and Dust is the opposite of Lightning.
 * (Water→Fire→Wind) In Sasuke's fight with Haku, Haku stated Sasuke could not melt his Ice with a C-rank Fire technique, which could show how Fire and Ice are equally opposed, and one can defeat the other only by level of skill.
 * (Earth→Water→Fire) Rōshi's Lava could be cooled and extinguished by Kisame's Water, although Kisame also complained about the difficulty, possibly saying their powers were matched.
 * (Lightning→Earth→Water) Storm is energy-based, while Earth is matter-based. The former also represents "Heaven", while the latter represents "Earth".
 * (Wind→Lightning→Earth) Dust is matter-based, while Lightning is energy-based. In comparison, both involve the breakdown of matter.
 * (Fire→Wind→Lightning) THEORY: If Sasuke's new element Blaze is Fire+Lightning, Naruto's Wind chakra will be the only equal counter to it. This was inspired when Yamato explains elemental relationships, about how Naruto's Wind cannot defeat Sasuke's Fire Release techniques, but can defeat his Chidori, and Naruto talked about how he was the only person that could be the one to oppose Sasuke equally.
 * And that's all I have so far, but I especially believe that Sasuke's new element Blaze is somehow related to the two natures he was able to learn at such a young age, and I was mainly motivated by Yamato's lesson, where he showed Fire→Wind→Lightning, which means Naruto and Sasuke are, also in this way, opposites (Wind←→Blaze in my theory).
 * Adjacent recomposition includes Wood and Boil, which is a case where elements that may affect each other in relationships outside of recomposition (Earth → Water, and Water → Fire). In such a recomposition, the inferior element must (symbolically) overcome the superior one with "skill"(e.g. Normally, Earth → Water, but Water can cause Wood to grow from the Earth, therefore breaking and dividing it). This is necessary to create balance between the superior and inferior elements.
 * (Water-Wood→Earth) Earth blocks, or absorbs, Water, but Water can cause Wood to grow in the Earth, causing the roots of the Tree to part and break into the Earth (This comes from the Chinese elements, which are also used in Japan and other Asian countries).
 * (Fire-Boil→Water) Water extinguishes Fire, but can cause Water to Boil in the process.
 * (Wind-Dark?→Fire) THEORY: Fire consumes Wind, but Wind can cause Fire to blow out, leaving only Darkness. (Credit to Omnibender)
 * (Lightning-Swift?→Wind) THEORY: Wind dissipates Lightning, but Lightning is Faster, which allows it to strike before Wind.
 * (Earth-Steel?→Lightning) THEORY: Lightning pierces/breaks Earth, but the Electricity can be used to purify and refine Earth into Steel, a stronger material which conducts Electricity, and therefore immune, because it just lets it pass through itself.

2nd Theory (alternative adjustments to 1st theory)

 * These are back-up theories in case the theorized elements do not work in the first theory.
 * (Fire→Wind→Lightning)
 * If Sasuke's Blaze Release is not a combination of these two, the combination could be rather something involving both of their characteristics, such as Flare Release (something resembling fireworks?).
 * (Wind-?→Fire)
 * This could be a combination of the two's properties, heat and cutting. Instead of Wind feeding the Fire, the Fire could provide heat to produce "superheated air" or steam (as in a compressed steam engine).
 * (Lightning-?→Wind)
 * With vibration and pressure, powerful shockwaves, or sound waves could be created, possibly in a similar manner to Thunder.
 * (Earth-?→Lightning)
 * A certain type of crystallized matter known as fulgurites can be created when certain mixtures of minerals in sand are struck by Lightning. If anime-only elements are taken into account, similarities to Crystal can be seen.
 * The Third Kazekage possessed magnetic chakra, which could be seen as a "Nature Transformation". It is common belief among some fans that this magnetic chakra is a combination of the above elements.
 * Althught the above was never mentioned to be an element, the result could be either metal- or magnetism- related.

Some thoughts

 * These are some other ideas and opinions.
 * Dark Release in channeled through the special mark on the user's left hand (or mouth). Wood Release's Tailed Beast suppression technique was first seen being channeled throught the user's right hand.
 * However, it was seen recently that Yamato could also use his left hand, although this could be a mistake.
 * Also, Naruto possesses the key to his Four Symbols Seal on his right  hand. The chakra of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox used by Naruto was also mentioned to be overflowing with life energy, possibly completing the other side to the belief of a sinister left hand.
 * If the case in the first theory is indeed correct and Yamato is only able to use his technique through his right hand, Dark(Fire+Wind) and Wood(Earth+Water) could be a form of "opposites", representing Death and Life respectively.
 * The only element not used in this system is Lightning, which could lead to other relations. If Yin-Yang is also included, Lightning could have a certain relationship with Yin and Yang, such as positive and negative charges.
 * Dark Release absorbs energy and manipulates it, while Crystal Release crystallizes matter and manipulates it. Both seem to make use of material provided by another, while neither can manipulate anything without the target existing.
