'''Thunder''' ({{Ruby|雷|いかずち}} ''Ikazuchi'') is a [[Type]] of [[Monster Card]]. It debuted in ''[[Vol.1]]'' in the ''[[OCG]]'', ''[[Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon]]'' in the ''[[TCG]]'', and ''[[Deck Mod Pack: Hyperspeed Rush Road!!]]'' in ''[[Rush Duel]]''.
==Overview==
The Thunder Type appears to be an adaptation of the original manga's [[THUNDER]] [[Attribute]]; it represents control over electricity. Thunder monsters often appear to be beings with electrical powers, such as "[[Zaborg the Thunder Monarch]]" or "[[The Ascended of Thunder]]". Sometimes, they might also appear as non-human beings who utilize thunder and lightning as part of themselves, such as "[[Watthopper]]" and "[[Tripwire Beast]]", or as pure manifestations of electricity or thunder-inducing phenomena, such as "[[Electric Virus]]" and "[[LaLa Li-oon]]".
Many early Thunder monster [[effect]]s and support cards focus upon destroying the opponent's monsters. Later members and supports took it further by focusing on [[banish]]ing cards.
There is also a subset of Level 4 LIGHT Thunder monsters that are noteworthy for stalling or locking down both players from performing certain actions; "[[Denko Sekka]]" prevents Spell/Trap Cards from being set on the field; "[[Lightning Rod Lord]]" forbids both players from activating Spell Cards during the Main Phase 1; "[[Thunder King Rai-Oh]]" prevents cards from being searched from the Deck; and "[[Zap Mustung]]", which locks both players from Special Summoning in a very peculiar manner.
