Lightning
Bolt of Lightning / Lightning Attack
Tokkan
突貫 is a Japanese word that can be translated as lightning attack, charge, or rush.
It's about a fast run or attack at the speed of lightning.
Electricity / Lightning
Electricity / Lightning
Firefly / Lightning Bug
螢火蟲 is a very verbose Chinese title for a firefly, glowworm, or lightning bug.
The first character, 螢, means firefly or glow-worm by itself. This title adds the character for fire (火) and bug (蟲).
Thunder
雷 can mean thunder, lightning, thunderbolt, mine (weapon), or slang for something terrifying or a fit of anger.
Some will say it is the symbol of the god of thunder or the god of lightning.
雷 is also a Chinese surname that romanizes as Lei.
God of Thunder
雷神 is how to write the Japanese “Thunder God.” They don't really have separate words for thunder and lightning in Japanese, so this is also the “Lightning God.”
雷神 makes sense in Chinese (though not a common title).
This is also the origin of the English name Raiden.
