The conjunctions noni and keredo(mo) can replace ni mo kakawarazu with
proper adjustments of connections.
The basic difference between noni 1 keredo(mo) and ni mo kakawarazu is that
the latter is used in written or formal spoken Japanese. The choice of ni mo
kakawarazu over keredo(mo) 1 noni implies the stronger disjunctiveness, that
is, the former means 'totally contrary to everybody's expectation,' whereas
the latter means 'contrary to everybody's expectation.'
