Why are people still debating this fact, even after the story has been told and clarified. Whatever the previous classification was, there are these things called.....retcons.

Raikiri is more focused. When Deidara called it Raikiri, Sasuke himself said "Well, this version is actually Chidori."

No it isn't.

Raikiri S-rank

Chidori A- rank.

Sasuke being far more powerful than kakashi is what makes his chidori stronger than kakashi's raikiri

The databook entries for both are different.

Raikiri
Type: Ninjutsu
User(s): Hatake Kakashi
Use: Attack
Range: Close
Rank: S


Black: In one swing, this swift stab turns into a famous blade that can even cut
lightning!!

Picture 1: Ending in a single point, this huge amount of chakra is a wonder even
to the eyes of the enemy!! It predicts a hopeles future.
Picture 2: Kakashi's "Chidori" cut lightning...that legend is the origin of the
name "Raikiri".

The one who is said to have copied over 1000 jutsu, Kakashi's single original
technique, this is "Raikiri"! Gai says that the true nature of this technique is
"a regular stab", but the amazing time when you see this huge amount of chakra
is gathered in the hand, Kakashi's arm becomes a famous blade that can cut
through anything.
Kakashi, named "Konoha's greatest technician", created this ultimate secret art
himself. It is really a simple technique perfected by honing it to the limit, an
artisan's technique.

Chidori
Type: Ninjutsu
User(s): Uchiha Sasuke
Use: Attack
Range: Close
Rank: A


Black: That chirping penetrates even the most tenacious rocks.


Picture 1: The released chakra gives off a "chicchicchi" noise which can be
compared to birds' voices.
Picture 2: When Kakashi uses it, "Chidori" is known as "Raikiri".

By activating the body, a great amount of chakra is brought forth and
concentrated into one arm. Furthermore, by running a long distance, this turns
into a high-speed stab of destructive power!! The movement is a mere stab, but
this great technique boasts such large power that it was able to open a hole in
Gaara's sand defence.

The data book called them both the same jutsu :| just states Kakashi's is more refined, but I take it these are the entries from part one :wut:

those 2 jutsu are as about the same as a sword and a dagger.

Idk if was in the anime only, Deidara called it Lightning Blade. And Sasuke said he prefer the name Chidori.

It's basically the same now because Sasuke didn't care for the other name.

Yes so Kakashi's would be stronger if Sasuke/Kakashi had the same chakra strength and skill. Yes they are.

I don't see any evidence for a retcon especially when it has been posted that Sasuke told Deidara he uses chidori, not Raikiri.

Then since these are both from part one then it's basically talking about part one Sasuke's chakra control and skill :|

In part two I would say Raikiri and chidori are about the same. Especially since both are able to pull off the same advanced shape manipulation

They're similar, but not the same. Raikiri is a more refined version of Chidori, hence why it's an S-Rank technique against Chidori's A-Rank.
