First of all, Gai's evening elephant is an A-rank jutsu meanwhile the Sixth's Raikiri has a remarkable S-rank according to the Databooks.

Secondly, Gai himself admits Raikiri's superiority when he portrays it as the 1st technique of the Leaf despite him having the evening elephant in his arsenal.

Thirdly, evening elephant meanwhile Raikiri could cut through Kaguya with ease.

Also, Raikiri can be used more and easier.

Raikiri's only disadvantage is being a close range technique but it can be compensated by mixing raikiri with a kunai so its range will be increased

All in all, raikiri > evening elephant.

Guy using Evening Elephant on Kakashi would kill him. Just saying
And that says Kamui Raikiri, not just the normal Raikiri

your logic is flawed. rank has nothing to do with power. so your points lack value also because kakashi barely scratched kaguya with raikiri. madara got decimated by EE. it nearly killed him. gai did not admit anything but praised kakashi, not raikiri. this thread gets a 1/10

Technique ranks are about how hard they get learnt not how strong they are. reverse lotus is A rank too does that mean it is equal to EE?

No he does not, he says Kakashi is the Leaf's no:1 technician not the raikiri is number 1. And he can not say how strong the last gate tech is because he have not used it back then.

Thirdly, evening elephant meanwhile Raikiri could cut through Kaguya with ease.

That's a kamui raikiri used by a Obito buffed Kakashi. It was a mere scratch btw while Madara was coughing blood.

Also, Raikiri can be used more and easier.
That's true but irrelevant to how strong they are.

Again, irrelevant to how strong each is.

Don't compare a normal Raikiri, to one of the strongest Taijutsu attacks in the history of Ninja.You could not even calculate the internal damage and power that Evening elephant could have had, so, there is no point in saying Raikiri is stronger. As for being able to cut Kaguya, Raikiri was specifically created to do that, while evening elephant pushes and you saw what it did to Madara didn't you?

Wind negates lightning.
Evening Elephant pushes wind by extremely strong force, and has a wide radius.
Raikiri is chakra formed as lightning.
Wind negates lightning.

Wait... the data books ranked Evening Elephant a rank A jutsu? WTF?!

How are they judging techniques? Because by power and effort required to use it,
is should be S rank.

Anyways, Kamui Rakiri fueled by Rikudou chakra piercing Kaguya makes sense of course.
It's meant for piercing and it is enhanced by kamui and rikudou chakra. Let's see rikudou
Gai do evening elephant + kamui because Kishi just likes to do nonsensical things like that
and we'll see which one does more damage to Kaguya.

Pretty much.

Example, An A-rank Water Jutsu easily overpowers an S-rank Fire Jutsu.

Kamui raikri (pure Obito's sage chakra+kamui+kakashi's raikiri)

8th gates (pure physical energy solely use by Gai alone)

Kamui raikiri didn't do any thing to Kaguya while Madara felt that he was nearly killed by Gai.

Don't be an idiot, rank is based on difficulty to master. Raikiri is made to cut, but it actually hitting the opponent is iffy. Evening elephant won't be missing any opponent bar Rikudo's. Meanwhile Raikiri isn't penetrating v2 Jin bodies.
