Basically nothing. They essentially boil down to the same things.

Fiction or as it stands in reality?

In reality, ki and chakra are both the same, but the former is a direct transliteration from the Chinese, qi.

 

[Son Wukong]

nope There must be some difference cuz genjutsu disrupts chakra flow, it can't control goku as he uses KI.

Ki is latent energy, while chakra is created from life force

Ki is from daoist origin, while chakra is from yoga and onmyodo origin

Ki is found in both living and non living things, while chakra is only found in living things.

Mastery of ki can grant immortality, while mastery of chakra does not.

Ki did not originate from any one thing, While chakra originated from the juubi

That could be argued, with the revealing of Hagoromo and his sons.

They were not exactly immortal. They still died of old age. Only their chakra was left. The rikudo for example cannot directly interfere with the physical world. Ki users on the other hand can remain alive without dying of natural causes.

Ki is strong chakra is weak I am DBZ MESSIAH GOD JESUS biased.

Qi is translanted as Chi though.

OT: In real life the only difference is the country of Origin of the name, they're all the same idea. Chi is Ki is Chakra. In anime and such they are also the same people just like to use it as a crutch and say so and so can't use chakra they use ki or vise verse. It's all the same thing.
