Anime and Lightning Powers

Usually, the word lightning is associated with thunderstorms, breaking across the sky in flashes. Who could forget the bright flashes that occur rapidly in the atmosphere above? Anime, however, features lightning in a much different way. In Anime, characters (countless users with lightning attributes) do battle and contemplate how to outwit their enemies.

One such Anime is as follows: Fairy Tail. In Fairy Tail, Laxus Dreyar has an interesting situation; Guild Master, Makarov Dreyar is his grandfather. Laxus’ father is Ivan Dreyar. Ivan embarks on other endeavors than Fairy Tail in being the Raven Tail’s master.

Laxus uses magic that consists of electricity known as Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic. His attacks are named for his lightning magic and give him access to high voltage throughout his body which in return he can recharge himself like a battery from other electricity than his.

Another Anime character featuring lightning is Eneru from One Piece. He was the former God of Skypedia before getting ejected by Luffy. God Enel ate the Goro Goro no Mi or Rumble-Rumble devil fruit which grants the user's body to be a lightning human. His fruit is especially rare for it is in the Lugia classification making the user's body of intangibility lightning.

A third character named A...is the Fourth Raikage of Hidden Cloud Village is a Shinobi with great stamina and physique. Nintaijutsu is the combination of ninjutsu and taijutsu to form the Lightning Release Chakra Mode. The user's entire body is surrounded by lightning chakra where someone like A where his battle presence increases tenfold such as reflexes, strength, durability, and speed.

“I am the Pretty Guardian who fights for Love and for Courage. I am Sailor Jupiter! It'll fill you with regret, it'll leave you numb!“— Sailor Jupiter's stock introduction. Makoto Kino is the civilian name for Sailor Jupiter who strives to protect the universe with Sailor Moon. Also, her DiC name is Lita which is short for lightning that Sailor Jupiter uses to fight in battle.

Finally, a character that is worthy of an honorable mention is Pikachu! I’m referring more to electricity rather than lightning in this case. Pikachu is synonymous with Nintendo as their mascot and as their starter Pokemon in Pokemon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition. Probably, the closest move that Pikachu can learn that resembles a lightning attack is Thunder.

Other lightning users in Anime are A Certain Magical Index's Mikoto Misaka, Hunter x Hunter's lightning assassin, Killua Zoldyck, Getbackers lightning Emperor Ginji Amano, and Hitman Reborn's Lambo.
