Is Kakashi's new technique _Lightning Release: Purple Electricity_ as powerful
as his signature technique, the _Lightning Cutter_?

On [Naruto Wiki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kakashi_Hatake), it is written
that after losing his Sharingan, Kakashi can't use Lightning Cutter
**properly**. What does this mean?

Why can't Kakashi use Lightning Cutter properly after losing his Sharingan?


Kakashi can't use the Lightning Cutter because it creates tunnel vision
without the Sharingan, leaving him open for counter-attacks.

Well if you recall from the fillers where Kakashi first used Raikari, he got
his eye scared because he couldn't handle the speed of his body. When you use
raikari it speeds your movement due to the Lighting Chakra and if you don't
have sharingan to go with you(for seeing your opponents attacks from a longer
range) or a lightining shield(like the raikage's have) you are in for open
attacks. That's why Kakashi couldn't use the Raikari without the sharingan.
