Wow, anime did something right for a change!

Yeah, maybe I should have put it in anime section, but it's about manga, too, so I guess it won't be a sin to post it here.

Remember how, according to manga, Kakashi got Raikiri? He destroyed a thunder with a powerful Chidori, which he then renamed as Raikiri.

Some time ago, in the anime, there was a filler showing young Kakashi and Guy fighting some enemies. It was this fight (at least in the anime) that Kakashi destroyed a thunder with Chidori/Raikiri.
At the end of the filler Rin arrived with reinforcements. So, according to anime, Kakashi developed Raikiri before Rin's death.

And it actually for once AGREES with the manga (even though this chapter wasn't yet available at the time!) because in the manga it is stated that Kakashi stabbed Rin with RAIKIRI, not Chidori.

I wonder... Is it a coincidence? Or did anime producers actually get their information from Kishi himself? (The episode was released way before today's chapter).

Just a small trivia like this. =D

Hahahaha well I guess it was a nice fun fact! I would say that may be an assumed possibility as to how it happned.

Obito called it Raikiri cuz that's what Kakashi's Chidori is known as.

Yeah he condenses chidori into a smaller but faster and more powerful attack which is raikiri

Raikiri is a different jutsu altogether. It is to Chidori what Oodama Rasengan is to Rasengan.
