Overview
The Explosion Corps, translated in some releases as the Demolitions Unit, was a body operating out of Iwagakure. Very little concrete detail about the organisation has ever surfaced, leaving it one of the more obscure groups tied to the Hidden Stone.
Role
What is known centres on the talent its ranks carried. The only confirmed members both wielded the Explosion Release kekkei genkai, a bloodline suited to destructive, blast-heavy combat. This shared ability points to a unit built around demolition and heavy assault work, matching the outfit's name.
Notable Members
Gari and Deidara stand as the two identified members of the group. A discrepancy exists between adaptations: in the manga Gari is described merely as one of the Corps, while the Shippūden anime, in the episode where he debuts, presents him as its former leader instead.
