really glad that Lostly stuck to the main theme from the original and put a great uptempo spin on it . super well done <| sep |> They were very much not outnumbered , but their society wasn ' t familiar with the European poisons that were a component of what they had to fight against . <| sep |> Just keep it classic son , well done ! <| sep |> omg he locked submissions <| sep |> they just edited a few posts in TD to fuck with them , as has happened with admins on message boards since the dawn of the internet . Calm down . <| sep |> Cute socks <| sep |> To the point the difference between chidori and raikiri , is that whereas chidori is a pure nature transformation , Kakashi took it one step further and applied shape transformation by shaping the chidori into a blade which increased the jutsu ' s lethality immensel , and also made the jutsu much harder to learn and perform . This , is what the raikiri is . It is the combination of the lightning nature with the shape of a lightning . SourcerNarutocomments 1 cvf 8 xchidorivsraikiric 9 ke 5 otChidori 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 . Source other words , my point still stands . Raikiri is a better version of Chidori . They don ' t just have different names .
