Chidori and Raikiri?

[Big]

Howdy,
What's the difference between these two techniques? So far, I only know that Chidori emits chirping sounds.

I missed the Tea Country arc, so I didn't get to see Zabuza and Haku. Meaning, I didn't get to see Raikiri in action. >.<

raikiri is originally kakashi's technique in which he created by himself... he taught the technique to sasuke and its called chidori cause it sounds like a 1000 birds chirpping... thats my memory at least... cant remember exact details...

[Sephiroth_3434]

Chidori and Raikiri are the exact same technique. The only reason why Kakashi's is called Raikiri is because he reputedly cuz through a bolt of Lightning with Chidori. That and supposedly Kakashi's Chakra control and experience makes it stronger then Sasuke's Chidori.

I thought Kakashi was only said to have cut through the lightning as if it was a one-time myth, not repeatedly.

[Wred]

yeah, it was a one time thing. it would be funny if he said "well, it's about time I go cut some lightning!" every now and then. also, he said reputedly.

Hey hey, I said reputedly as in, supposedly, not repeatedly >.>

That whole lightning incident was supposed to have happened only once and I think it is just a rumor though, I dont think the anime ever tells us anything else to the contrary.

heh it was just a misunderstanding of what Sephiroth said, he said REPUTEDLY, but Neo misread it as repeatedly :D

Also, just for reference Raikiri=Lightning Edge/Blade I think

It lighting blade for Kakashi

[Neo Matrix]

It's either as the kanji for "kiri" can be translated as both "edge" and "blade". I think "cut" is also possible, but I can't remember which kanji it is.

[Mystic Wolf]

I think it's Kanji meaning blade and not cut.
