The sharingan is only used to eliminate tunnel vision during high speed movement. It's not even needed for chidori/raikiri, though less effective. Purple lightning on the other hand is fully effective even without high speed movement.

I guess it's less powerful so it doesn't produce much of a tunnel vision like chidori, but we'll only know for sure when plot explains it.
That's the opposite of how it works. Chidori doesn't create the tunnel vision, the speed the user needs to run at for chidori to be effective creates the tunnel vision.

A new Chidori-like jutsu that doesn't require the sharingan would need to be more powerful so that less speed is required.

I was arguing this earlier, but people think tunnel vision is applied with Chidori instantaneously. It's really determined by how fast they run in accompanied with the Chidori which grants the tunnel vision.

For example Kakashi can walk and use Raikri, it just wouldn't be as effective. I do hope they explain how Shinden works though in a data-book or something. It seems far too versatile than Raikri at this point to be neglected.

Or it could have a ranged(distance) application to it allowing for extra safety while using it.

Purple lighting started showing up lately so i dont know whats the big difference, but according to last episode, it didnt do much dmg to the kids.

Maybe its weaker version the real raiton

running fast doesn't mean you have to make it less powerful

rather he made adjustments so that he doesn't need to run

1) doesn't need to charge and can tune outpu
2) no hand signs needed


he can take out an opponent more quickly without the need to run after them which eventually causes tunnel vision

So my question is why are you guys gauging Purple Lightning’s potency based on a match designed to test not kill?

I mean that’s like asking why Kakashi didn’t kill Naruto And Sakura with the Water Dragon Jutsu during their 2nd Bell Test. It must be weak since they shrugged it off.
