They aren't. Ppl mistake 1 for the other.
Just like how flying thunder god is mistaken for body flicker even by its creators, yet there's a clear difference.

Probably because they look the same.
The databook claims Raikiri is the perfected version of chidori.

Well I understand.
But the only way Deidara said. And Sasuke fix it, saying that he Chidori.
C said that the techniques are similar.
I don't remember more cases.
It essentially does not change.
Raikiri personal Chidori is Kakashi.
To make it clearer.
Two absolutely identical in all knife called "knife".
The first killed 500 people, slightly improved and named "Killer"
The second nobody was killed.
Both are "Knife", but only one "killer"
And from them. Both Chidori, but Kakashi Chidori is Raikiri. Because he has improved it, and cut them lightning.
It also tells us and databook
Kishimoto not just like that it wrote it.
It serves for the explanation of various moments, and placing of all points over i.

So I guess Temari blows away the universe
And nothing can harm Itachi as long as he has Yata up :bdpf:
Well if you are a cretin, yes.
If you can think the head, and you understand that Kishi sometimes uses hyperboles, there is no problem with understanding of the reference book any.
On me so nonsense because of a couple of hyperboles to put a beech under doubts. Whatever one may do, author one.
Isn't necessary takes a jaundiced view to a Book, only because Kishi loves hyperboles. Kishi the Japanese, and his thinking it is difficult for western person to understand.
But besides it has no value.
"When Kakashi uses it, "Chidori" is known as "Raikiri".
"Kakashi's "Chidori" cut lightning...that legend is the origin of the
name "Raikiri"." - Databook = Canon
"I improved chidor" - Kakashi(manga)
My version ideally fits in, and doesn't contradict neither a manga nor a book.

Naturally. Guy is the same person that can't even remember ppl's names.
We've seen tobirama mistake ftg for body flicker, when minato uses it despite he himself being a user of ftg. Where as raikage, deidara, and guy don't even use the tech.

Gai is giving an explanation how the jutsu earned its nickname and Kakashi is doing nothing to 'correct' him. Both are the same thing.
I don't know whats there to discuss but feel free to believe as you wish, manga facts are in the end manga facts.

Guy believing it's a nickname is where his fault lies. That's his mistake. The fact that you cant get around it is beyond me but feel free to continue.

1. they are the -exact- same jutsu
2. the databook is not canon; its not even literature. the databook can't overwrite the manga
3. the reason that there are two names is a fanservice to both kakashi & sasuke, while their feats w/ rai'ton do all the talking. one cuts lightning bolts in half while the other tamed lightning itself
4. base chidori is already the pinnacle of nature manipulation just as the basic rasengan is already the pinnacle of shape manipulation. saying there is a more refined chidori or rasengan is a canonical fallacy.
5. the many ''variants'' that originate from the jutsu have nothing to do w/ ranks or any differential in the databook, which is why each variant even has its own name.

Why do you believe Raikiri is another jutsu ? Is that stated in anywhere in the manga ? So far about Chidori and Raikiri, we only have Gai's explanations. And Kakashi isn't saying Gai is wrong there either.
You're saying Gai is mistaken because he couldn't remember Kisame's name. This alone isn't enough unless you have some manga scans stating your 'truth' in the matter.
Only evidence supports your claim is NarutoWikia, which isn't worth anything compared to Manga itself.
Yes it is.
The databooks simply explains cannon material in more detail that were unexplained in the manga.
What ever ranking the databook gives Jutsu's is final, No debate, No discussion is required. The very fact the manga author gave raikiri an S-Rank and chidori an A-Ranked proves that they are indeed not the exact same jutsu with just different names.

Because databook says it is.
It's not just kisame. Madara's name was forgotten too. So a man with bad memory is liable to forget why a jutsu has a different name.
Lol
But its not forgetting. He even saying how the jutsu earned its nickname. Databook isn't saying such a thing either.

Kakashi's ''Chidori'' cut lightning... That legend is the origin of the name ''Raikiri''.
This is what DB says, ''Raikiri'' is nothing more than a nickname of Chidori. His jutsu didn't changed suddenly after he cut a lightning bolt with it.
It's hilarious that people here believe that S rank means more powerful or better or refined, or whichever garbage Kakashi fans have taught themselves to post here over the years, but according to Databook IV, S simply means Secret.

Also, before teaching it to Sasuke, it was a Secret or S rank tech as it's an assassination technique and Kakashi taught it to no one before Sasuke. Learn to use a bit of common sense, which I know isn't that common on this base, but use it nonetheless.

Which would explain the nickname given to the tech as it cut a lightning bolt.
