User blog:Holly Winter19/Fire Release Doesn't Explode

Something I've noticed among many Fire Release ninjutsu is that while they are nice and hot and they burn, etc, they also seem to explode a lot (among user-created jutsus). Obviously, this is done for an understandable reason, however, I would like to point out that Fire Release ninjutsu doesn't and can't (imo shouldn't) explode: The fire in of itself doesn't explode. That's what Explosion Release is for. However, the fire can cause things to explode, or create explosions by hitting things. For example, my (Naruto Fanon) Fire Release: Maleficent Dragon Demolition creates a big fire dragon that slams into the earth, thus causing an explosion from the impact. Here, the fire doesn't explode, the impact of the fire causes an almost Earth Release explosion that is engulfed in flames.

It took me awhile it wrap my head around this idea, because it makes perfect sense that a fire ninjutsu would explode, given that fire and explosions are held in the same ballpark. It also is slightly disappointing in some areas, because now it's impossible to create a fire release ninjutsu that has fire explosions. I suppose you can get creative by using impact explosions (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique can do this I believe), or by having your fire release "disperse", but it in of itself cannot explode. On the bright side, if you feel that you haven't dabbled much into explosion release, this can be a good opportunity to expand your horizons.

I'm like 80% sure I'm correct about Fire Release not exploding, so please don't flame me to hard if I made a mistake :p
