Very similar?

On paper it looks like that but in reality, Lancelot still easily superior because what he offered is not simply high damage potential but also good RNG mitigation which aligned fairly with his low survivability as its capabilities with no replacement even within SSR Saber line-up.

Hokusai OTOH is Arts 'Rama', good when you have no other crit-DPS option and wanted to try playing crits, but when you have any of fairly skilled Lancelot, Diarmuid, Suzuka or Yagyu, the only advantages she has is NP 5 aside of 'my favorite character' reasons, as others can cover stability under same critical team setup.

Even by merit of full 2030 team, Lancelot still have upper hand as he can allow 100% crits all cards which benefit his party members aside of also easily made EAM totally optional but for team with lower star circulation when he's intended to deal critical damage.

Easiest example of this would be Lancelot + Jeanne / Osakabehime + Emperor team. Triple LB 2030 is close enough to broken starting from second turn if Lancelot have something like Guts or Dodge.

As said by Paul, Raikou buff is pity buff as Alterjuna, newer SSR Limited Berserker, pretty much kill her in terms of effectiveness. Lancelot OTOH is not even threatened by Hokusai. Even to this date, no SSR Saber capable of assuring crits like him, not only for himself but others as well.

Buff might come next year together with Camelot LB.
