{{Youmay|the element|[[Thunder|the spell]] or [[Thunder (chips)|the chips]]}}
{{nihongo|'''Thunder'''|サンダー|Sandā}}, often referred to as '''Lightning''' or '''Electricity''', is a recurring element that appears in the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' series. It is generally opposed to {{c|Water|element}}. The Thunder element is associated with the [[Lightning]] material and the [[Jolt]] and, sometimes, {{c|Stun|status}} status effects. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'', it is the opposite of {{c|Aero|element}}.

==Attacks and abilities==
Throughout the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, party members and enemies alike use attacks and abilities that inflict Thunder damage. Most prominently is the series of [[Thunder]] magic, which has appeared in every game as an offensive spell available to playable characters and some party members. Party members also can occasionally use other Thunder-element abilities, either fully original moves or variations on Thunder magic. In a number of games, other Thunder-element attacks are also available to the player, such as [[Thunder Roll]], [[Exo Spark]], and [[Thunderstorm]].

There are also a number of passive abilities that either boost the power of Thunder-type abilities or defend against Thunder-type damage.

==Thunder Resistance==
Thunder Resistance is a recurring stat in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. Increasing it through various means will reduce the amount of damage taken from Thunder attacks. In most games in the series, Thunder Resistance can be raised by equipping accessories or, in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', armor. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', some [[enemy card]]s grant resistance or weakness to Thunder as a secondary effect. Thunder Resistance is raised in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' by equipping the [[Thunder Screen]] ability, and in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'' by equipping Thunder Resistance Stat Chips in the [[Stat Matrix]] (see above).

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', lightning resistance only protects against the [[jolt]] status, not against Thunder damage.

==Enemies==
Thunder Resistance is a major stat for ''Kingdom Hearts'' enemies. Enemies that use Thunder-element attacks are generally resistant to Thunder damage, and some even absorb it to heal themselves. Thunder-element attacks tend to be effective against water- or wind-themed enemies.

{{Main|Jolt|Lightning|Weapon Gummi|Lock-On Gummi}}
Several recurring elements in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series incorporate Thunder into their design or conceptualization.

The [[Jolt]] status effect is closely associated with Thunder in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'', in which Thunder-themed equipment, abilities and accessories allow the player to inflict enemies with or protect the player from receiving an Jolt status.

The [[Lightning]] synthesis materials are said to contain the essence of thunder.

[[Weapon Gummi]] Blocks in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and some [[Lock-On Gummi]] Blocks in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' are named after Thunder magic.

Certain weapons and accessories are associated with Thunder. A number of [[Larxene]]'s knives are given names associated with electricity.

Goofy's [[Seven Elements]], which represents the seven types of magic appearing in ''Kingdom Hearts'', includes a circular portion  adorned with lightning bolts, representing Thunder.

The accessories and armor that protect specifically against Thunder damage and Jolting are named after the Thunder series of magic, the Thunder-element summon [[finalfantasy:Ramuh|Ramuh]], or other thunder-related terms. The [[Shock Charm]] accessory is based on Larxene's [[Foudre]].

==Origin==
'''[[finalfantasy:Lightning (element)|Lightning]]''' is a recurring element in the ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy (Series)|Final Fantasy]]'' series. It is one of the earliest elements introduced, and forms a trifecta with the elements of [[finalfantasy:Fire (element)|Fire]] and [[finalfantasy:Ice (element)|Ice]]. Mechanical and aquatic enemies are typically weak to this element. It is usually the opposing element of [[finalfantasy:Water (element)|Water]], but occasionally it can be the opposing element of [[finalfantasy:Poison (element)|Poison]] and Ice.
