Why this matters

When Oda states a nation’s structural weakness in plain expository dialogue at the opening of an arc’s conflict, it is almost never idle color — it is a Chekhov’s gun for the means of that nation’s ruin. Here fire/lightning is named as Elbaf’s Achilles’ heel, pairs with the standing lightning-god motifs (Enel / El Thor) and the WG’s designs on Elbaf. Cross-link Elbaf, Haugen, Treasure Tree Adam.
