Similar to the Lightning Cutter and Lightning Slayer, Sayotsu can form it on one hand or he can form one on each hand, resulting in a wider range of uses. Sayotsu has also shown many different derived jutsu for this technique, also, including many that require the use of Shape Transformation. It is stronger than the Chidori. Due to the sealless manner of shape transformation, it requires strong concentration, decreasing its effective speed, but the same Shape Transformation makes it more penetrating than the Lightning Cutter.
