Kakashi made a move and then changed its name when he completed it there's no real difference except better control. It's like futon rasengan and rasenshuuriken.

Is there a translation for those 2 words or are they just names. They seem the same to me unless someone will explain How they both work.

Kakashi only calls it Lightning blade (Raikiri) because he used it to cut a bolt of lightning.

He even used to call it Chidori at one point.

It's the same thing he taught Sasuke.

Raikiri is stronger than chidori

lol this ^^^^

Raikiri is a variation of the Chidori

No, they are the same identical jutsu. It was already explained in part 1 that Chidori is the actual name for the jutsu (meaning chirping of a thousand birds). Kakashi calls it Raikiri (meaning lightning blade) because he once used it to cut a bolt of lightening in half. Thats it. Thats all there is too it.

Guys....look at it like this and not name wise....

Sasuke has upgraded his "chidori" to lightning blade and above...he just calls it Chidori, just like his tsukuyomi. He calls it genjutsu sharingan.

Kakashi named his "chidori" lightning blade because he cut lightning (was never really confirmed), but so has sasuke, he can actually tame raw lightning, so hell yes he has the better lightning/jutsu.
Sasuke broke through the raikage's lightning armor, by that he has exceeded lightning blade lightning (<-lol)

Tamming Kirin was a dead give away, most people only go by the name chidori and lightning blade, I go by whats happened and the end results.

"The Lightning Cutter (Raikiri) is an enhanced and concentrated form of the Chidori with the same effects and drawbacks. Because the Chidori is already powerful on its own, the Lightning Cutter requires better chakra control, which is exemplified in its appearance. The Chidori appears as simply a mass of electrical chakra in the user's hand, while the Lightning Cutter is more focused." read up

Err No

Kakashi split a bolt of lightning with it, Lightning Cutter requires better chakra control, which is exemplified in its appearanceThe Chidori appears as simply a mass of white electrical chakra in the user's hand, while the Lightning Cutter is more focused he creates it without using hand seals Lightning Cutter in both of his hands to counteract Kakuzu's Lightning Release: False Darkness, and Kakashi later demonstrated the ability to imbue a projectile weapon, such as a kunai, with his Lightning Cutter, granting the technique long-range capabilities. In this instance

They barely even look alike in my opinion. Lord Kakashi made this jutsu so there is a difference it's like the difference between water and ice

Exactly this. That means if both Kakashi and Sasuke output the same amount of chakra into raikiri and chidori respectively, raikiri will win. It's similar to a Fuuton: Rasengan vs Rasengan. As homie a few posts above explained U_U

1.There is no other variant of the resengan with the fuuton element other than the resenshurkien

2.The raikiri requires more chakra and more chakra control then the chidori

So yes,there is a difference.

If sasuke used the raikiri instead of chidori during his fight with A then he would of dealt damage when he landed that direct hit on his chest but,the chakra in chidori wasn't as dense and sharp as the raikiri so it did little damage to A.

Oh how I want to make this my sig.

"ecause the Chidori is already powerful on its own, the Lightning Cutter requires better chakra control, which is exemplified in its appearance. The Chidori appears as simply a mass of white electrical chakra in the user's hand, while the Lightning Cutter is more focused (and blue in the anime)."

Why do you think one is an A rank and the other is an S rank?
