This technique allows Sasuke to channel the Chidori through his chokutō. This makes it nearly unblockable as the radiating and chirping blade can easily cut through steel. Furthermore, if an opponent is stabbed, their body goes numb due to an electrical current which causes the muscles to contract, making it impossible for the opponent to move. However, it can be countered by other weapons that also utilise Lightning Release chakra flow, such as Killer B's flowed swords.[2]
Trivia[]
- In the Ultimate Ninja Storm series, this technique is simply referred to as Chidori Katana.
- In the crossover comic series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Naruto, Kakashi performs a cooperation ninjutsu with Leonardo resembling this technique, called Lightning Katana, utilising the Lightning Cutter.[3]
