Black Lightning is a unique form of Lightning Release utilised by the Third Raikage, who passed it on to Darui alone.[1] Not much is known about it, but as the name suggests, the lightning produced is black in colour.
Trivia[]
- Both users have the stylised kanji for "lightning" (雷, kaminari) tattooed on their shoulders; Darui on his left and the Third on his right. This seems to be a distinctive tradition, as Ginkaku and Kinkaku recognised Darui's possession of this ability through his tattoo.[2]
- Sasuke Uchiha demonstrated the ability to use something resembling this when he fought against Naruto Uzumaki at the Valley of the End in Part I,[3] and when he attacked Madara Uchiha in the Fourth Shinobi World War after receiving Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki's power.[4]
- Kakashi Hatake's lightning attack also became black in colour after receiving the Six Paths Power from Obito Uchiha while battling against Kaguya Ōtsutsuki in the Fourth Shinobi World War.[5]
- In the anime, Tsukiyo has displayed Lightning Release similar in appearance to this, though his has a magenta glow.[6]
