What is the difference between Raikiri and Chidori?

[ShinobiX]

Always wondered...

Why does Kakashi call it Raikiri and Sasuke Chidori? Is there an actual difference in power or mechanism?

 

[Talk No Jutsu]

Raikri's more concentrated Chakra than Chidori.

i always wondered that to. but it seems sasuke has to his to a level beyond kakashis

 

[Alphaqindyas]

Raikiri's stronger... >_>

 

[Braveknight]

Raikri's more concentrated Chakra than Chidori.

How you know??

 

[Punk Hazard]

raikiri is a stronger, more developed form of chidori

 

[NLee]

Chidori was what Kakashi first developed.

Raikiri is a more concentrate, refined, and stronger version of Chidori.
Raikiri also requires a sequence of seals to use while the Chidori does not

Raikiri

those are both chidori, at the last second while you are doing chidori, you straighten your fingers so it pierces better

It's true that the Raikiri is a more concentrated version of the Chidori, but the positioning of their fingers has nothing to do with it. When Kakashi used Raikiri on Zabuza/Haku his fingers were clawed. The shape of their fingers is just the user's preference

ohh sorry my bad i'll remove the post then

 

[Lichcraze]

yeah raikiri is a developed and improved version of chidori...

 

[MMaElite]

How am I wrong

sasuke doesnt use hand signs for chidori anymore.. and im not really sure about kakashi

 

[Dr Strangelove]

Raikiri takes more concentration in chakra than Chidori. Chidori is the Jutsu we see Kakashi use Kakashi Gaiden as a kid.

I didn't say Chidori requires seals. I said it doesn't need seals.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... lol a flaw on my part

Yup, and also what Sasuke uses against Gaara in the Chuunin Finals

The technique Sasuke currently uses is still the Chidori.


Over time, Raikiri has become more of Kakashi's signature move while the Chidori's become Sasuke's
