What other ways to say Chidori?

[Mr. DJ]

Just curious about this since I haven't heard Kakashi say "Chidori" or "Lightning Edge" in the longest of time and started calling it w/ another name...which escapes me right now...

[Mr. Johnny 5]

The first time Kakashi did his chidori (against Zabuza) he said Raikiri!

That was probably the only time he called it by it's name...against Orochimaru he didnt mention the name...since it was not the time to act cool against that monster.

Anyway Chidori and Raikiri are the same as told by Gai.

[EadTaes]

The other name is Raikiri. In the end Chodory has only 2 names. Chidory and Raikiri. Only difference si that Raikiri is concidered much stronger then chidory since it is said that Kakashi once used it to cult a lightning bolt.

[Ero-Senn1n]

I remember that at the chuunin exam Gai explained the two names given to the jutsu of his eternal rival:
1, the legend says he cut through lightning with it
2, it has a sound like a thousand chirping birds
I don't remember which was one which, someone knowing the japanese language should explain.

2, it has a sound like a thousand chirping birds: Chidory

1, the legend says he cut through lightning with it: Raikiryi

[Rurik]

I think I argued this with Mr Johnny and Ero-senn1n before-about why one is different than the other-but I’m not into that , so I just wanted to add, that the official Databook indicates Raikiri as an S-Rank Jutsu, and the Chidory as A-rank Jutsu.

Well perhaps the Raikiri is a more powerful version, where Kakashi used more Chakra or moved at a higher speed. Otherwise I can't explain how he cut a lightning^^
So only more strikepower than the normal Chidori.

[fremeer]

well data book lists raikiri with a higher jutsu lvl, but the manga said they same thing. stupid kishimoto and his inability to keep some semblence of continuacy

[Jacko3000]

well if you want the actual meaning of the name "Chidori", its "Thousand Birds" (due to the sound made by that Jutsu)

[NaOH]

chi-do-ri
chee-door-ree
chie-dore-ri
and so on

repeat for every language, and u get over bajillion ways to say chidori

[Sinaura]

Isn't it possible that the legend about him cutting through lightning with the Chidori means that he was able to use it effectively against the Yellow Flash Yondaime, mwahaha, afterall he is as fast as lightning.

[Mr. Johnny 5]

According to the Anime that i watch Gai said (not literally):

With some speed the jutsu makes a sound as if 1000 birds are passing by..therefor the name "Chidori"
Chidori... also Raikiri..that is the alias it got when Kakashi once cut through lightning with it.
Ino: that sounds lame

In the end it's the same name..
a "jab"... i once knocked out an old man with it...so i called it "punch" in the end the jab is the same as my new nickname for it...punch.

I doubt there is more to it.

But The punch example should not be used, Punch is everything that it is related to a close fist, but Jab and uppercut are to different types of Punches…What can I say? IM bored, so I’m nitpicking right now..Im sorry Johnny, that you are at the receiving end of my nitpicks!

I doubt Kishimoto wrote the Data Book himself. He does have to keep up with the weekly series -- extra time to write 270 pages of Data Book doesn't materialize out of nowhere.

What's happening to the forum?

I think there's some kind of server mix/mess up, as people are unable to see the last page in a thread sometimes, and occasionally see the 'White Screen of Death', an automatic double (or more) posting. It's been happening for a couple of days now, I guess it's still going on.

On topic, I doubt the name change matters really (except of the excessive noise produced by what is effectively an assassination jutsu - kind of defeating the purpose), it's the same jutsu.

That's the purpose of slav... assistants.
Most of the Data books is merely infos directly collected in the manga so it doesn't need much work. There are only some bio and more rarely some jutsu which had to require Kishimoto's ideas about them.
Since I saw that the charaters stats aren't mean to be compared with each others I feel a lot better about these books.

We certainly did...an endless (since it's still an) discussion for days and perhaps weeks.

Some discussion will last...like: "who is the strongest" or this one.

Actually you cant argue about it when it is in the databook...but in this case it's different. Since it was said that the jutsu had another alias therefor the jutsu shouldnt be different. [Chidori also Raikiri]..that's all i say otherwise we will remain to debate about this for years..

Yeah, but I see it as the same as Taijou Kage Bushin, or Odoma Rasengan.

Gai only said that Raikiri was the nickname thats it got, but the Databook states why one is different from the other.

Either way, Databook is the only source of information that tell us the level of almost every Jutsu, so I don’t see why there is denial of accepting this as it is said by Kishimoto.

But the appreance of Taijou Kage Bunshin and Oodama Rasengan is different.
Raikiri and Chidori look exactly the same.

T.K.B. = just more clones...weird to put them a higher class but ok..
Oodama Rasengan = Looks really different and the impact is also different from a normal Rasengan..Oodama Rasengan i believe has the Kyuubi Chakra + Normal Chakra within it and is significantly larger in size.
