He also fought against himself, such being the case with Red Raiden vs. Hideo Raiden and Black Raiden vs. White Raiden (and to some extent, "Fire" vs. "Ice"). It is visible on the Medicom Action Figure based on the designs by Yoji Shinkawa, and usable when playing as Raiden in Metal Gear Online. After locating Solidus within the gap between parallel universes and learning of Solidus's plan to ensure that he and his alternate selves survive their fated defeats via interfering with the Koppelthorn Engine, he uses his abilities via the Koppelthorne Engine to seal Solid Snake into the body of a "young, blond man" and experience various surreal realities (alluding to Raiden as well as acting as a subtle nod towards Raiden replacing Snake as the main protagonist in the main story). Fatman placed several bombs at strategic structural points of the Big Shell. He later learned from Courtney that the agents couldn't find George. He later worked alongside the Paradise Lost Army in their anti-Patriot activities, but was captured and forced to undergo heavy cybernetic experimentation. With the Metal Gear Rising Revengeance Raiden iteration, Platinum Games brought a new take on moral conflict in video games to the blockbuster, AAA space. Even after his recent physical ordeal, Raiden later boarded Outer Haven during Snake's infiltration of the ship, missing both arms and wielding his sword between his teeth. Rose told Raiden of the pregnancy after admitting that she had originally become his girlfriend in order to spy on him for the Patriots, before eventually falling in love with him legitimately. His strength enabled him to lift a tremendous amount of weight, evidently ranging to several thousand tons. Although willing to go through the sewers if it meant finding a Desperado lab, Raiden nonetheless felt uncomfortable doing so, especially after his briefing referenced the gas explosions in the Guadalajarasewers back in 1992. On April 30, 2007, Jack met Rosemary after transferring to Fort Hamilton[10] in New York City, and had an argument about King Kong. As such, Maverick still supported him, albeit unofficially. Raiden then vowed that he was done running, while Rose vowed that she was no longer afraid. Following Outer Haven's departure, Raiden's body was later recovered, his survival testament to his extreme resilience, though according to Otacon, he was in no condition to help them further. Taken aboard the aircraft Nomad, Raiden continued to suffer and his chances of survival became bleak. This eventually culminated in Rose entering his room without his permission, which was devoid of any personal objects save for a bed and a desk. Infiltrating the Mexican research facility. Raiden then jumped up towards the helicopter hovering overhead, which Snake and Naomi had earlier boarded, and after being helped inside, was transported away from the area by its pilot, Otacon. [28] Raiden, having overheard that comment with a directional microphone, called her via Codec to set her straight that his hair is actually real and not a wig. Nonetheless, due to his past experiences with Snake, he was completely loyal to the legendary soldier and citing his personal views about Snake. Raiden was also similar to Gray Fox's adopted sister, Naomi, in that he was adopted by the same person who murdered his parents. He managed to wipe out 8 confirmed Body-Snatcher soldiers at the base and prepared to undergo extraction procedures at the base's heliport, but an unexpected siege of reinforcements of the Body-Snatchers forced the chopper to retreat into the air, with Raiden fighting off all remaining Body-Snatchers until all were confirmed to be eliminated, with the chopper using its searchlight to identify where the Body Snatchers were. After becoming a Cyborg Ninja, his overall strength, speed, agility, and endurance had increased to superhuman levels, allowing him to swing two Gekko with little effort by the wires and was even able to temporarily block Outer Haven. Athlete Being a God, Raiden's Powers are almost limitless, but he's restricted by the Elder Gods who won't allow him full use of his powers, that and t Continue Reading 67 3 22 Backed to a wall and at the enemy's mercy, Raiden was saved at the last moment by the successful virus upload, the AI's destruction disabling his opponents' internal nanomachines and incapacitating them. Raiden's only real display of emotion occurred after the death of Big Mama; Snake told Raiden that he (Snake) has no future, while Raiden has a family; at this, Raiden grabbed Snake, shouting that he too has nothing, before collapsing, seizing Snake by the leg, and begging him not to leave him alone. He also learned of Olga's motivation for aiding him: The Patriots forced her to participate by holding her child hostage, after her kid was kidnapped shortly after delivering her. Sometime prior to the Big Shell Incident, Jack was recruited into the supposedly reformed FOXHOUND, a special forces unit that no longer officially existed. As such he can't regenerate his health via zan-datsu, but he still can heal by getting health pickups like how the player does in Metal Gear Solid 4. Raiden also managed to save the other children from the chloroform gas in time and was successful in the attempt to save both the children and George although Raiden was heavily disturbed by what he had seen that day. As such, the model is not intended to fully represent Raiden's physical characteristics, as supported by lines of dialogue from various soldiers, in regards to the presence and size of his genitalia. Throughout his mission, however, being that the memories of his past began to slowly resurface, he also began to suspect that he enjoyed killing, and reluctantly informed Rosemary as much. For most of the game's development, Raidens name was written in katakana as or literally "Raiden." Raiden then resigned from Maverick to pursue and retrieve the children's brain cases from World Marshal in Colorado. The AI instructed Raiden to kill Solidus, which he had no choice but to do so, for his own sake and for the sake of Olga's daughter and Rose/their unborn child. He even compared himself to the reaper when mentioning that they chose death when taking the job. Raiden wanted Doktor to perform surgeries on the brains to ensure they at least had a relatively normal life outside of combat. Jack would grow up to suppress the memories about his terrible childhood, burying the memories of his bloody past, though he still suffered from nightmares of his past nearly every night. Raiden eventually managed to reach Desperado's main base in Abkhazia, a production plant near the coast. Removing the black duster that concealed his cyborg appearance, Raiden was able to disable the attacking Gekko using his enhanced agility and swordsmanship, employing a high-frequency blade. Now living a life in the United States, Jack joined the military where his admirable skills were at first recognized by the U.S. Army's Task Force XXI. The memory bank procedure was then interrupted when a mysterious figure arrived in the OR, with the doctors denying him entry before Raiden demanding to know who it was and for the person to come closer. [52] He also implied in another Twitter account that Raiden's pre-cyborg self during the events of Metal Gear Solid 2, named Old Raiden/Blue Raiden, might also be playable. The mention by Colonel on how Raiden completed 300 VR missions only occurs if the player beat the Tanker Chapter immediately prior to the Plant Chapter. He also held some hero worship for Solid Snake, as part of the reason for his agreeing to partake in the Big Shell Incident to take down the terrorist leader was so he'd meet the legend face-to-face, and was initially disappointed when it seemed Snake had truly died in the Tanker Incident. Just as Raiden was about to be killed, Olga came to his aid. [deleted] 5 yr. ago. The enhancements implanted throughout Raiden's body, however, were too severe to allow him to live a normal life again. [30] His desire to protect the weak at all costs, even if it meant taking lives to ensure the weak were protected, stemmed from his past as a child soldier in Liberia, and not wanting anyone else to experience the kind of childhood he had. He left Sunny in the care of Otacon and Snake anonymously. As such most what is told to Raiden when he first arrives at the Big Shell is complete fabrication. After completing Metal Gear Solid Mobile, revealed to be a VR mission, Solid Snake is declared a failed test subject and has his memories erased, and a pair of mysterious voices discuss a second test subject, "Jack", wondering if he can do better. In other words, Raiden's lack of awareness of his son and his disdain for Rose meant that both would serve no purpose to the Patriots, as their suffering would not move him in any way. Uprising in the first round, largely due to his cybernetics, and in spite of Krystal's many armaments. Raiden's superhuman durability makes him virtually indestructible due to the parts of his body made entirely out of steel and artificial muscle fibers. Upon reaching the 20th floor of the lower half of the building (the regular workplace area), he then proceeded to destroy three power supply generators, including a backup supply, to deactivate a security gate for an elevator for the top half of the building where the research and development center was located. He was calm under pressure, adaptive, and somewhat critical. Even after he recovered, his inability to protect N'mani would haunt him. He also knew at least some Spanish, as evidenced by his telling two Mexican pedestrians who spotted him "Adios, amigos!" Naomi then used nanomachine suppressors to both euthanize Vamp and commit suicide, much to the group's shock. Another trait of Raiden was also incorporated into Snake as well (having the same name). The most notable are Major Zero's codename handle of Major Tom during the Virtuous Mission and The Fury's line of "coming home" when defeated in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, as well as the group Diamond Dogs in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. One of his training sessions at FOXHOUND was at Fort Polk, within a mock Afghan village. His cyborg body appears to conduct electricity or he seems to be highly resistant to it as when he is separated from his H.F Blade the lightning seems to stop. He later revealed this to the Colonel, who was surprised, since there wasn't supposed to be anyone other than Raiden who should have infiltrated the base. With the help of the Paradise Lost Army, Raiden managed to escape his captivity. Though probably they forgot about that part of mgs 1 and he died of old age a few weeks later. Rose was pregnant with John during the Big Shell Incident. Specifically, this cyborg body was modified to focus on support for allies in the battlefield, which includes an increased capacity of items relating to cyborg treatment and supplies for repairs; the Inferno armor, colored crimson and possessing a special attack system. In 2018, Raiden became a member of Maverick Security Consulting, Inc., doing multiple tasks while raising money for his family. [40] Another concept for him was his being a cyborg, which would have been revealed late into the game with a triangular chest plate when he was captured on Arsenal Gear.[38]. After some reassurance from Snake, the pair battled through the Arsenal Tengu commandos before encountering Dead Cell's leader Fortune. 50 In The Making of MGS4, Raiden's Japanese voice actor, Kenyu Horiuchi, expressed sympathy for Raiden's pain in Metal Gear Solid 4, and commented that despite his becoming a cyborg, he still retained largely human traits. Raiden proceeded to fight against Pyramid Head from Silent Hill in the third round, defeating it. Shinkawa, when explaining his motives for creating Black Raiden, mentioned that he wanted to create a dark hero, different from his design from Metal Gear Solid 4. Saito admitted that he used Raiden's Metal Gear Solid 4 model as a starting point, and kept most of the aspects, but had to undergo an initial brief with Shinkawa and undergo the design while under supervision from Kojima Productions regarding Raiden's face to ensure he at least retained his quasi-human look from the ending of Metal Gear Solid 4. Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Plus) Naomi recognized that he required a white blood transfusion and dialysis, which they procured for him while in Europe, with help from his former acquaintance, Dr. Madnar. A former child soldier, FOXHOUND member and a close ally of Solid Snake, Raiden has since joined an elite task force known as Maverick in the time period between the events of Metal Gear. In addition, "Raiden" was initially supposed to be his real name, with his full name being "Raiden Brannigan," during development. After the war ended, Solidus had Jack placed in a relief center. Raiden's voice actor Jack . RAIDEN
- This Raiden, taking upon the appearance of Gray Fox, is armed with the H.F Blade. In addition, his durability was such that he claimed that he was immune to the effects of microwave emitters. After deciding not to kill Naked Snake, he went back to the events of the Zanzibar Land Disturbance (complete with MSX2 graphics) to kill Solid Snake himself, ending in similar failure, where, ironically, he is stopped by his original target, Big Boss. He was also equipped with CQC 2 and a throat-slitting ability, along with a running ability higher than Runner 3. Snake consoled Raiden but refused his request due to his incomplete blood dialysis, and urging the younger soldier not to follow the same path that his own life had taken. Metal Gear Solid 3 makes use of Raiden's character as well as his appearance. This allowed him to wield his sword between his teeth, throw and jam his blade into a wall exactly in front of Snake to stop him, and fend off against several FROG soldiers without his arms. Despite being considered a spinoff title and having been developed mostly by Platinum Games, Kojima did co-produce the game and offered consultation on the story, making it a part of Metal Gear canon unless otherwise noted. However, this ended up being rejected by Kojima,[38] although a similar design would be used for the character The Fear. This prompted Raiden to stand back up and call Armstrong insane. Raiden later met up with Iroquois Pliskin, a Lieutenant Junior Grade with the U.S. Navy SEALs, who had saved Raiden from being ambushed by Vamp. Afterwards, he was deployed to Sukhumi, the capital of Abkhazia, on an MQ-133C flying wing on loan to Maverick, where he was then launched when nearing insertion by a rocket platform, in order to quell a military coup that resulted in the Abkhazian president and most of his cabinet being killed. According to Shinkawa in the featurette The Making of Metal Gear Solid 2, the primary reason why Raiden is designed as a bishonen (a "pretty boy") is because a fan letter stated that the addresser in question did not want to "play a story with an old man." Raiden and Blade Wolf then proceeded to leave for Solis. While the plot initially detailed what happened to Raiden between Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 4, the final Platinum version is set four years after the events of MGS4.Raiden, now a member of a PMC known as Maverick Security Consulting, Inc., finds himself caught up in a Roaring Rampage of Revenge ance when an African Prime Minister he's guarding gets taken hostage . 1. He shares this codename with the Mitsubishi J2M Raiden, an Imperial Japanese WWII fighter aircraft, which the Allied forces codenamed "Jack." His strength was also enough for him to effortlessly pry open a gate with his bare hands. As a cyborg, he also had elevated pieces on his feet, near his heel portion. Raiden managed to defeat EXCELSUS by cutting off its front legs, throwing it onto stable ground, engaging it in battle with one of its blade arms, chopping up its head, and then impaling it with its own sword. After Fatman was dead Raiden was contacted directly by the Cyborg Ninja.
