Who was the best lightning release (raiton) user?

[narajacob]

The Raikages have the edge because their raiton armour would act like a farady cage against other lightning techniques so Sasuke's kirin is pointless in that debate.
Kirin is just natural lightning that Sasuke directs using chidori and Kakashi's raikiri can cut lightning so... the argument that kirin is to fast for Kakashi to counter is also invalid as he has clearly cut lightning before so he is obviously fast enough to do so again.

And finally, black lightning is obviously better then ordinary lightning so Darui is better then sasuke.
So it would go:
1. 3rd Raikage
2. Other Raikages
3. Kakashi
4. Sasuke

 

[Uchiha Riyo]

Sasuke imo is the best lightning release user, he uses Raiton really well, and made the strongest Raiton jutsu, Kirin. But him being the strongest is unclear.

 

[Regina]

Gotta go with sasuke, he did tame the lightening after all.

 

[Rayder]

Darui beats everyone on the list (Apart from Raikages) in an only Raiton battle. (Sasuke, Kakashi, Ringo, Killer B)

This is what happened when Darui used Raiton against Sasuke....nothing

Title says best not the strongest...
And when it comes to best usage, no one beats Kakashi-sama....

Kakashi shouldnt even be in the running along with others. Whilst good its between the 3rd raikage and sasuke.

I judge this based on offence and defence along with raiton feats though the latter isnt much proof because certain characters get more screen time than other's.

When it comes to defence A's raiton along with sasuke's is the best. A's Raiton no Yoroi is arguable the best raiton defence because apart from giving him a form of defence, his evasive power's due to his reflexes in v2 allows him to evade extremely fast attacks. Whilst the 3rd raikage's is durable, its cannon that his durability is from his body rather than his raiton though that aswell will give him a defence boost. Sasuke has developed a similar ability though his is different. Ive noticed that the raikage's Raiton no Yoroi doesnt shock the opponent something that surprises me. Anyway sasuke's defence in Chidori Nagashi though doesnt grant him a speed boost like the Raiton no Yoroi, is one most likely right behind the Raiton no Yoroi when it comes to raiton defences.

When it comes to attack though we haven't seen the 3rd produce the famous Kuroi Kaminari, since its a different form of raiton its bound to be stronger than the ordinary raiton. His famous Jigokuzuki was said to be the strongest sphere. However sasuke's holds the offensive capability in kirin. There is no ration technique stronger than kirin. When its been described as on a totally different level to what human's can create this statement alone puts it above anything the other raiton user's have in their arsenal. Its actually lightning, so its cannon that sasuke holds the strongest raiton technique.

When sasuke holds one of the best raiton defence and the strongest raiton offence he takes the cake.
3rd raikage takes 2nd place. Though his raiton defence isnt as great as his son's his lightning offensive abilities is greater than his sons.
A takes third place. He has the best raiton defence. His offensive abilities when he combines raiton and taijutsu (nintaijutsu) makes him a worthy third.

1. Sasuke
2. 3rd raikage
3. A

Nobody else has the offensive and defensive capabilities as these 3

I'll quote myself. Whilst i agree this is a battle between the 3rd raikage and sasuke and rightly so sasuke holds the upper hand in raiton defence than the 3rd who's true defence is his body. When it comes to offence again its close, however kirin which is on a different scale to what humans can create alone gives sasuke the edge over the 3rd's offensive capabilities. Id say the 3rd has more stronger raiton abilities, however sasuke holds the strongest raiton attack.

Also apart from sasuke having the second best raiton defence with A's v2 in front of him and wielding the strongest attack, he has CREATED many crafty raiton based attacks from the original chidori

Kirin is clearly the strongest Lighting technique in naruto universe

 

[Bogard]

Sasuke got a good idea to use lightning coming from the sky, but in a normal fight, not having access to the sky, Sasuke is probably the weakest raiton user between all of them

 

[Turson]

Sasuke, becuase hes most versatile. Chidori, Chidori Nagashi, Chidori Lance, Kirin - you could say that he has some Raiton technique for any occasion.

 

[garas56]

1. 3raikage
2.Kakashi
3.Sasuke
4.A
5.2 raikage

 

[Jim Rider]

Lightning VS lightning 3rd R hands down.

 

[zinescience]

the best is the strongest technique is sasuke

 

[Lana Del Taka]

No, you're wrong.

If Hachibi's asking himself if it was his Tailed Beast Bomb that took down the Sandaime Raikage, even if it was not the Tailed Beast Bomb, this implies that he did use the Tailed Beast Bomb against the Sandaime Raikage (and that it failed to hurt him, at that)

no he did not use tbb on him he said they both fell down with their jutsu in hand which means he was about to use it but he couldnt because he was too weakened.

 

[AlexXx]

i would choose 3rd raikage but the 2nd raikage looks so bad@ss he should get a hype

 

[Omnipotent]

no he did not use tbb on him he said they both fell down with their jutsu in hand which means he was about to use it but he couldnt because he was too weakened.

No, he says "was it my Tailed Beast Bomb?" which means that he obviously used the Tailed Beast Bomb on him, and it made contact.

Anyways, from what we have seen and from what has been said, the Sandaime Raikage is only vulnerable to powerful, long-range futon (wind release) jutsu. He was also able to dodge the Rasenshuriken twice.

You're assuming that Sasuke will be in the sky ready to use Kirin. No, 999/1000 times Sasuke will not be able to use Kirin, even before we get to the part that based on manga statements it would not be able to harm the Sandaime Raikage.

 

[Lana Del Taka]

thats why i said maybe and if the conditions are right he will be able to use it. Also if kirin does hit him i just cant see him living through that.
