Powerful cards and what they do.

I can see many people taking a liking to that card. It's absolutely lethal when used with Kakashi (obviously!).

Kyle, when you talked about "hitting for 11" with Kakashi/Lightning Blade, what did you mean?

[nara-shikamaru]

hes talking about the base cards strength plus the jutsu. most cards only have a 5 so he alone can injure out ninjas in a turn with that card or if...hey if he attacked the village only could he get 4 battle rewards..i doubt it but he would have a total 11, and it takes 5 for outstanding...no it wouldnt work, but do correct me if im wrong

[Kakihara]

Ok, the highest battle rewards you can get are 2 for an outanding victory, a difference of 5 in team powers.......

[SandNinja22]

oh, if that's all, then I get it. I thought he was talking about something more complicated. Wouldn't this card be an extreme asset to Kakashi decks? Is there anything that can stand up to it? OH! How about that Jutsu
"Sharingan Eye"? Doesn't it negate a Jutsu being played at the cost of having a Sharingan user on the field?

SO, the Exchange of Jutsu would go something like this in a one on one battle, right?

John's Kakashi vs. Sam's Kakashi
John plays Lightning Blade, paying the appropriate cost.
Sam counters with Sharingan Eye, paying his cost.

(Activation Order) Lightning Blade -> Sharingan
(Resolution Order) Lightning Blade <- Sharingan

So, Lightning blade is negated, and (supposing Sam's Kakashi was stronger) John's Kakashi would take 1 damage, and be turned sideways.

Wait.....Chidori=Lightning blade WTF

[nara-shikamaru]

Yup, even in teh unallowed to be mentioned version they call it the lightning blade because he supposedly stopped a lightning bolt with it, then they give you the real name*this shouldnt be a spoiler if their on ep 30*

[Kakihara]

Ah yes, at first it is Raikiri! But I think it would be cool to keep the attack names original japanese, it sounds cooler even to the little kids.....Raikiri!
But if it must be translated I also think lightning edge would sound better...
They should change it to chidori when that is shown in the anime....
I hope this is not a case of they trying to avoid spoining the real name, or ignorence of its true name....

[nara-shikamaru]

i do like chidori, cause knowing its ballad of a thousand birds is awesome

[Kakihara]

And it sounds better, how can he say "Lightingn blade" its not some mech show.......
