Thunder Sakura

Thunder Sakura are large tree-trunks infused with . There are five of them across Kannazuka. When the player gets close to one, they will target the player with deadly lightning bolts, dealing . During the World Quest Sakura Arborism, the player is tasked with healing the trees in Kannazuka. After a tree is healed, it will be inert and no longer attack the player with lightning.

==Overview==
The Thunder Sakura are believed to symbolize the Electro Archon's eternal watch over Inazuma and purify evil by absorbing filth from the land. The Thunder Sakura are side branches of the Sacred Sakura, so the filth accumulated in a Thunder Sakura will spread up the roots and to the central roots of the Sacred Sakura beneath Mt. Yougou. If too much filth accumulates, the roots will begin to corrode and form tumors, thus it is necessary to routinely perform a Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual to purify the filth from the roots.
The Thunder Sakura are either guarding or suppressing something located under the trees, which is why the Grand Narukami Shrine grew concerned over their condition and Miyuki was dispatched to investigate.In Sakura Arborism, Miyuki remarks that the Thunder Sakura "serve to suppress the one who lies beneath."

The phrase translated as "to suppress" is , which is translated as "guard" or "defender" in other parts of the game; "suppress" and "seal" are typically used to translate the words or . However, there is too little information to determine whether the English interpretation is necessarily incorrect, as Miyuki's line was left unfinished.
