Many people believe that raikiri is a more powerful version of Chidori but I disagree. Raikiri is just a nickname for Kakashi's chidori. But the manga states they are the same thing.

I know this isn't mind blowing but I just wanted to clear up a misconception. But that does pose the question of whether Kakashi could cut through Kirin.

Chidori also has a peircing effect, they just have different names.

The manga just said raikiri is a nickname Kakashi's chidori earned because of its feat of cutting a lightning bolt. So they're the same. His just has a feat that earned it a nickname

It's a more concentrated version of chidori. Like how Odama rasengan is to a normal rasengan.

Lightning blade is different than chidori only true spear chidori is comparable

Ok, in dubbed versions, Sasuke says 'Lighting Blade'
in the same episode in Japanese, Sasuke says 'Chidori'
in the manga, they say 'Raikiri'

Raikiri (in my own guess) has more volts of lighting compacted into it, it has more visible chakra than chidori, it also (once again a guess) has a better piercing effect.

Since when Deidara know better than Sasuke what jutsu he's using?
You missed the next pages when Sasuke said himself that it's not raikiri but chidori.

What he said and Sasuke have to cut a lighting bolt to learn raikiri.Raikiri is stronger S rank , Chidori i s A rank.
It's like regular rasengan and Chōōdama Rasengan

To end the misconception i'll add some databook pages.
If chidori and raikiri would be the same jutsu they would be on same level .
There,the databook is clear and kishi made 2 different pages for both jutsu which are from different rank.A rank for chidori and S rank for raikiri.Even if there are some similarities,it's not the same jutsu.

source : databook 1 page 209 (chidori) and databook1 page 225 (raikiri)
