Theory About Source Dragon Elements
I have a crazy theory about elements which share their names with the Source Dragons (Motion, Energy, etc.) There are no spoilers for S3P2 in this post.
A while back, I saw someone ask the following question on Bluesky: "Does each Source have an equivalent of Lloyd's power?"
And Doc's answer was the following: "Uh. Hmmm. Basically, yes."
This always felt very strange to me, but I think I may have cracked the code.
What if Doc's cryptic answer is that each Source Dragon has an element that corresponds to their name? So for example, the SD of Life has the element of Life (which was literally renamed from Energy because Lloyd's element comes from that SD). We also know that there's an element of Balance, although we don't yet know if it's tied to the dead SD of Balance (we'll have to wait for Glen Lakin's reveals, and I have a sneaking suspicion that Balance will be the last one to be revealed, if at all). So maybe what Doc meant is that the other five SDs — Motion, Energy, Strength, Focus and Flow — all have an element that shares their name.
Now here's where my theory gets crazy.
What if Ellie, Treg, Henjamin and Zarkar have these elements?
We saw that Ellie's elemental power was white, even though we didn't actually see what it is. What if her power is white because it's Focus? That might explain the goggles; maybe it's a way for her to control her heightened (focused) senses.
What if Treg is the Master of Motion? That would explain his helmet and goggles, and tie into the fact that he has a wheelchair.
What if Henjamin is the Master of Energy or Flow? The one thing we saw him do was jump around and practice fighting with a dummy — what if his power of Energy gives him infinite energy to run and jump around?
And finally, what if Zarkar was the Master of Strength, and now, his power has been passed down to his last living descendant — someone who can jump extremely high and run faster than cars, someone who can lift and throw people with a single hand, someone who believes strength is the most important thing in the universe — what if the Master of Strength is Lord Ras?
This theory would explain Doc's strange answer, and would also explain why he's been quiet not only about Zarkar's power, but also Ellie, Treg and Henjamin's powers. He was perfectly willing to disclose Propulsion even though it wasn't named in the show, so why be so mysterious about three random Elemental Masters who literally did nothing in the show? When asked point blank if Henjamin was an Elemental Master and if so, what his element was, he flat-out said no. Given the level of secrecy, maybe this all ties together and is part of a grander plan. What do y'all think?
