Sasuke's Raikiri

[Zen Uchiha]

Errm, not much of diff just better chakra control.
Sasuke chidori didnt really peirce Ayes thunder armor.

yea it did lool

 

[madvictory]

Uhhrr yes fanboy of what ? Lightning armour ?

Why not? Lightning armor is beautiful.

 

[super yang]

theres no difference between raikiri & chidori.

chidori is literally, just a nickname.

the difference in rank is to denote fame/who created the jutsu. Theres no diff. in skill or power... cuz its the same jutsu.

Watch shelke come in here and try to tell you sasuke's chidori> raikiri.
Edit^I guess super yang is first instead. Lol

raijuu hashiri> chidori/raikiri

I repeat, they are the exact same, perfectly equal jutsu

I don't share any other agenda, so...

 

[Koro]

He'd be even more OP if he knew Raikiri.

Raikiri >>> Chidori

It's like a more lethal concentrated version of Chidori + applied Raiton element.

Let's just say that if he had used Raikiri in his fight with Ay, he would have put a whole through him.

 

[super yang]

raikiri means ''electric blade'', chidori means ''1,000 birds''... its just a nickname people

jutsu ranks are extra-canonical & confectionery in nature.

What does beast runner have to do with chidori/raikiri?

Anyways saying chirori=raikiri is the same as saying
Rasengan= big ball rasengan. Lol

 

[Black Wolf]

Raikiri isn't five times stronger than Chidori. Raikiri is better enough to be ranked higher than Chidori, but five times stronger is an extremely outlandish assumption.

That being said, Raikiri has just as many variations as Chidori. Kakashi has streamed Raikiri through weapons (Zabuza's sword, kunai), just as Sasuke has (through his sword, shuriken). Sasuke has Chidori Eiso, Kakashi has Raiden. Sasuke has Chidori Nagashi, Kakashi has Raikiri Wolf.

Only real advantage Sasuke has is Kirin, and if a source of lightning already exists, any experienced Raiton user should be able to manipulate it. Kakashi could control a pre-existing source of water numerous times and shape it into dragons, sharks, and funnels. Why wouldn't he be able to do the same with lightning if a source already exists, considering it is his affinity in which he has S-ranked mastery over? He obviously cannot set it up due to lack of Katon, but controlling an existing lightning source is not out of his capacity.

I thought U were implying I was claiming sasuke as superior...

the databook even states that the naming difference is purely for notoriety purposes, in spite of this posters logical contortions. lel

 

[Black Wolf]

It isn't just the names that are different, though. One is S-ranked, while the other is A-ranked.

While it is true that rank pertains to jutsu difficulty (how hard it is to learn / perform), not power, they are the same exact technique; why would one be more difficult to use than the other if not for it being more powerful?

again, the databook is simply ''icing'' on the literary cake. ''chidori'' is already the pinnacle of nature manipulation.
the difference in rank/''raikiri'' is purely to note kakashi, the copier of a thousand jutsu - but only one original, as the sole creator & unsurpassed user.

that doesn't mean when another comes along to master ''chidori'' that they haven't equaled the pinnacle of nature manipulation.
its corny, but true. the databook is just hoky fanservice//my conclusion is not some blatant inconsistency(because of the rank difference)

another point: A rank is the highest skill rank. S rank is for rarity, uniqueness, exclusiveness & the possibility of irreversible effects.

there are examples to be had of this fact

 

[Black Wolf]

If that were the case, it should have been enough to give Raikiri a separate paragraph, or at most, a separate entry. No point in giving it an entirely new rank for no reason.

Is there a place that specifically explains each rank's definition? I'd like to see it for my own reference.

is all I could find...

OT: Raikiri >>>>> Chidori; stop arguing over it.

there is a separate entry & paragraph in that post.
and the reason is obvious; unsatisfactory as it is...

I don't know that there is a specific detail, but again, the manga exists wholly & completely w/o the perspective of databooks or ''fanbooks'' as they are also called...

 

[adeshina365]

The terms became completely arbitrary after part 2.

 

[Howling Fox]

sasuke will never have raikiri so thread = irrelevant

No.

The databook and the fanbooks are two different things.

I'd like to see where you got that A-rank means its the highest level while S-ranked means its only unique (i.e. not pertaining to difficulty).

S-rank already presumes A-rank skill/ it pertains to the highest difficulty by default.
chidori & rasengan, being great examples.
2 A-ranks that have '' the utmost of shape & nature manipulation'' respectively.
So while kirin & FRS are more complex, neither can add more skill or innate difficulty to the former pair.
the latter 2 jutsu are more about further creativity & utility
