Lightning Bolt

The Rakurai is an advanced and more powerful form of the Chidori with similar effects and drawbacks. Because of the Chidori's already considerable power, the Lightning Bolt requires better chakra control which is made explicit by its appearance. The Chidori appears as a mass of white electrical chakra in the user's hand, while the Lightning Bolt begins as a powerful bolt that fires down from the sky into the user's hand, creating a shockwave and altering the Chidori's form into that of a more focused and blue appearance.

When the Rakurai was first used, it was down without hand seals, instead Ryusuke formed a light blue coating of electrical chakra around his palm before striking an opponent. The chakra flowed through the target's body laving them paralyzed. From there Ryusuke leaped onto his opponent's shoulder, raising his arm into the sky as a bolt of lightning fired down onto his extended arm forming the Rakurai. From there Ryusuke plunged the powerful blade of energy through his opponent's skull. In other cases Ryusuke performed a trio of hand seals before raising his hand into the sky to create the previous effect, from here he could use the attack like the stanard Chidori.
