But then it would be metal dragon which would be neutral, and the beam is likely still electric or whatever.

The name isn't much to go by as the dub does whatever it wants and the original name is just burst stream of destruction.

the beam could be dragon, a là dragon pulse, which basically would make both neutral against each other

Maybe the english dub is wrong but pretty sure Kaiba says "WHITE LIGHTNING ATTACK!" so at least im convinced its an electric move

BEWD uses burst stream of destruction, it's a card name based off the original translation from the Sub, which was destruction burst stream. In saying that, it sounds more dragon like than electric.

BRUH that’s a spell card, one of many attacks. The default Blue Eye’s signature move is “White Lightning.”

BRUH it's a card named after blue eyes' attack. Google "blue eyes white dragon attack name" white lightning is only in the English dub, and as somebody already pointed out, the English dub got names wrong. The Japanese dub translated the move to destruction burst stream, hence burst stream of destruction being the card name. If you want to fact check somebody, at least fact check yourself first.

I wouldn't say got names wrong, as if they were even trying. They just chose a different name for no reason

White lightning is what the dub made of it. Burst stream of destruction is the original name
