Rosemary is the wife of Raiden as well as a psychological counselor, and formerly a data analyst and spy. This could be seen after taking a large fall. His other unique weapons are the Mk.23 pistol and the Throwing Knife. This allowed him to pass for a normal human, at least while clothed, and gave him the capacity to carry out bodyguard work and other missions that didn't require serious combat.[14]. The game-play strives to allow the player to replicate the same kind of feats that Raiden performed in Metal Gear Solid 4. Raiden offered his services to Philanthropy, but Snake told him to take care of his personal affairs first. During his battle with Stephen Armstrong, the senator called Raiden "Saucy Jack," which was the pen-name supposedly used by the original Jack the Ripper to London police at Scotland Yard after committing his second murder and onward. Rosemary then called him, to which he eventually admitted to her his past as one of Liberia's child soldiers, also revealing this was why he was very distant towards her. Eventually Raiden plunged his arm into Armstrong and ripped out his nanite-altered heart, crushing it. Sam is entirely sure of his cause. It's interesting to note that whilst playing as this character, Raiden shares the same face as Frank Jaeger in Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. Because of this, he was outwardly cold and distant even to people whom he personally knew, such as his then-girlfriend Rosemary. Ames also reveals that there are no ransom demands whatsoever made by Dead Cell. Late response. Raiden then boarded the helicopter with Doktor as the pilot, having procured the brain canisters in the transport chopper. He then revealed that he knew Sam from three prior wars. This confuses Raiden, who had been told by Colonel Campbell that this is the case. Whether his possessing the information had anything to do with his cerebral network of nanomachines acting as a backup system for GW or not was never explained. Because of the similar name, Kojima Productions also gave it the alternate name of Medical Raiden. Raiden demonstrated lightning-like powers, conducting electricity all over his body with which he struck down several of the would-be attackers after he turned on the ceiling sprinklers, allowing him to create electric bolts in the air until the water stopped. While operating as a private security consultant in Africa, Raiden worked with prime minister N'mani, who jokingly addressed him as "Mr. Raiden was born in Liberia on what he stated was a 'rainy day'. 1. "I think it's time for Jack to LET 'ER RIP!!". However, N'mani had a good sense of humor to jokingly call him "Mr. Learning that the facility removed brains from human children, and also the exact method of escape the boy went so he could narrow down the location, he placed him in a safe place while also issuing Maverick agents to retrieve George under his command. However, Raiden is not a playable character in Metal Gear Solid 4. [17] During the procedure, they also had to replace memory units in his nervous system, and he was also losing a lot of blood due to his earlier wounds, forcing the doctors to put a clamp on him, which also resulted in Raiden flashing back to his time as a child soldier in Liberia, where he was injected with something. A 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. To slow down their pursuers, Raiden fell behind to hold them off, later being caught under debris caused by the Suicide Gekko's detonation, while Snake escaped to the port area. He then proceeded to rush through the enemy resistance, eventually jumping across several Sliders and run up a building to reach the top. After eliminating it, he then used the catwalks to evade being spotted by the Mastiffs. He eventually met up with the African country's prime minister N'mani, where the latter congratulated him on Maverick's contribution in the rebuilding of the country. "fans rejected the character of Raiden pretty harshly upon the release of MGS2. Lightning Bolt," in reference to his original code name. A For three years starting 2015, Raiden was part of Maverick's recovery efforts to help rebuild an African country that had undergone a bloody civil war. In addition, while adopting the Cyborg Ninja outfit, he was strong enough to not only parry a modified Metal Gear RAY unmanned unit's blade, but also to lift it up by the blade and throw the RAY a great distance, as well as agile enough to springboard across several HEMP missiles towards the RAY unit, as well as jump up to the RAY unit's blade after throwing it a great distance in a small period of time. [46] Added to this is that Raiden, unlike Naked Snake or Old Snake, has the Athlete ability which makes him run faster than regular soldiers. Upon becoming free, Raiden fought off the remaining Gekko and engaged Vamp in an intense knife fight, the contact between their weapons becoming so fierce at one point as to cause his sword to glow red hot. This was really Olga Gurlokovich in disguise, and she had been ordered by the Patriots to assume the role of Gray Fox from Shadow Moses. With an exhausted Snake about to be crushed by Liquid's Outer Haven, Raiden placed himself in the warship's path of destruction through the small pier, holding back its immense bulk with his enhanced strength, and giving Snake time to clear the area. Social Ops Inferno Raiden bonus giveaway advert for Tsutaya. Upon acquiring his new Cyborg Ninja body, Raiden was instructed to undergo a VR training simulation that Doktor created so he could get used to his new body before redeployment. On April 30, 2007, Jack met Rosemary after transferring to Fort Hamilton[10] in New York City, and had an argument about King Kong. Jack, codename Raiden, is the main protagonist of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Eventually, he settles for "cybernetic private military security soldier" as his last chance at a job where he was met with implied success. Raiden Konami kept his starring role a secret right up until the game's release in North America, even going so far as to have his Japanese voice actor swear to secrecy about the role his character would play until the game's release and replacing Raiden with Snake in teaser trailers and other preview materials (although he did appear in a few trailers, in his scuba gear, his presence was not as emphasized as the other characters). Raiden's concept as effectively being a third-person witness to Snake's exploits was likewise inspired by the character Watson from the detective franchise Sherlock Holmes. However, they eventually got the latter to reprise his role when Metal Gear Solid: Rising was revamped into Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Raiden's body, even before fighting sam, was 90% synthetic after the patriots "operated" on him. Afterwards, Raiden was sent to a hospital where he was fitted with a new cybernetic body that featured artificial skin, giving him a somewhat more human appearance. Squall_exe (Topic Creator) 9 years ago #9. Upon arrival at Solis, Raiden and Blade Wolf met up with the check-in guard for their appointment with Sunny. Less than half an hour later, Raiden arrived at close proximity to the Shabhazabad Air Base. He also told Doktor to worry about delivering the brains, and also vowed that he'll keep his distance from what remained of World Marshal while heading to the Solis launch pad, which was fortunately also in Colorado. Raiden then met with Rose, and he solemnly forgave her, with the two ultimately deciding to continue their lives together. Kojima also mentions similar reasons in the documentary Metal Gear Saga Vol. Similarly, some concept artworks for Raiden himself also had him wearing an outfit superficially resembling his Skull Suit with a face mask covering all but his upper face, as well as his carrying a then-infantile Sunny. Armstrong believed that America had rotted to the core, so he intended to remake America so the citizens will all fight, die, and kill for whatever they individually believed in. After traversing the rooftops, he then was instructed by Blade Wolf to access an abandoned rail system dating back to the 19th century. 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. Shortly thereafter, Raiden himself collapsed from the injuries afflicted by Vamp, urging Snake to find Big Mama in Eastern Europe. Informing Boris of this development, he was then instructed to find a landing zone, as they were sending a chopper to extract him from the area. Raiden then tracks down the hostages and makes contact with Richard Ames, an agent of the Patriots. The deceased Raiden is clutching his groin, indicating that the killer is President Johnson, referencing the latter's actions in the main Sons of Liberty story line. This conversation ends with Sunny landing him with an invoice requiring him to fully pay off the restructuring and repair costs. Jumping back to stable ground, he saw that the cause of the pit was a new Metal Gear called EXCELSUS. 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. Raiden himself makes a cameo appearance as a poster in the locker that Naked Snake places Raikov inside upon stripping him of his uniform, as a subtle reference to their similar physical appearances. Prior to being dispatched, Raiden's superiors also removed his natural blood, placed it in cold storage, and replaced it with a nanite filled blood substitute instead. Upon finding the facility's entrance, Raiden, taking Doktor's advice of using a DOOMP to access the facility's video records regarding their development, decided to hijack a Dwarf Gekko. Jack and other surviving members of the Small Boy Unit then underwent extensive amounts of counseling before becoming at least outwardly stable. The Gray Fox skin was shown killing Desperado Cyborgs in a manner similar to a scene in Metal Gear Solid, where where he cuts up several terrified Genome Soldiers, while MGS4 Raiden was shown taking on some Desperado Gekko, a reference to his first on-screen appearance in Metal Gear Solid 4, where he took on, and destroyed several Gekko. Raiden later met Peter Stillman, although their meeting occurred awkwardly when Raiden mistook the latter for a bomber at work and held him up, and was tasked alongside Pliskin to freeze the detonators of C4 to ensure they at least weren't an immediate threat. Although the footage never appeared in-game, the event itself was referenced in a Codec call to Doktor, regarding the content of 3D holo drives contained inside the left arms of cyborgs. Because of his status as a cyborg, his left arm also was directly connected to his cranial nerves. In a leaked casting call for Metal Gear Rising, they requested for at least four live actors to portray characters for a trailer. He did a similar pose in Metal Gear Solid 4 itself during Act 2, shortly after defeating several Gekko. He later rescued a Guyanese boy named George who had escaped from the facility, and whom his name painfully reminded Raiden of Solidus Snake. The Patriots had named him after the plane[24] and later informed Raiden that, like his namesake, he was nothing more than a weapon, a tool to be discarded once its usefulness has been outlived. Even when playing Revengeance, which treats the cyborg bodies as viable and preferable alternatives for a soldier, I couldn't help but imagine the point where Raiden's perfectly healthy body was ripped and discarded down the jaw. He also had a dry sense of humor and was somewhat sarcastic during this time as well, as he responded to Boris when he asked how it felt to be flying like a bird (referring to his being carried over by the MQ-133C flying wing to Abkhazia) that it felt like "a bird strapped to a rocket.". Disavowing his identity as Jack, Raiden updated Snake as to his dealings with the Paradise Lost Army, before the call was interrupted due to a firefight. 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. During an encounter with Solidus, Pliskin was revealed to Raiden and Solidus to be the real Solid Snake, who had faked his death two years prior during the Tanker Incident. With the help of the Paradise Lost Army, Raiden managed to escape his captivity. This child would turn out to be Sunny, who first appeared in Metal Gear Solid 4. The rest of Raiden's life was a carefully calculated plot by the Patriots to bring about the events of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. Raiden's cyborg body during this time appears to be pressurized in some manner, as shown during the two occasions in which he fights Vamp, when knives are propelled out of his torso, as well as when he disengages his visor. Even the placement of the people at the Big Shell were completely thought out by the Patriots. Kojima has also explicitly stated that Raiden is his favorite character in Metal Gear Solid 2, a view that was also shared by Flynn. In the Location Trailer released alongside the Zan-Datsu & Custom Body Trailers, a part of it showed Raiden wielding Mistral's Etrangers, suggesting that he could wield the weapons of rival cyborgs he's beaten. As a direct result of the disastrous events in Africa, Raiden had become somewhat bloodthirsty, yet harboring a strong desire for justice. He then had George sent to Doktor to watch over him, by saving George's life by using the cryopreserver. This training and conditioning also put penalties on some of his social capabilities and mental stability. Despite the loving relationship between him and Rose, the tragic memories of his days as a child soldier started to resurface, causing tension in their relationship. 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. Similarly, his appearance also led him to being mistaken for a woman, as evidenced by James Johnson mistaking him for a female Patriot assassin before realizing his mistake by grabbing his crotch and then reacting with slight surprise that Raiden was male. Raiden becomes available to play after achieving an "S" rank in every main Story Mission in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. In the original game plan of Metal Gear Solid 2, Raiden was to have had false memories of his father, in which he was apparently killed in a hunting accident. [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]. Raiden explained his motives, before having to abruptly end the call due to squad cars blocking his path. Raiden then met with Snake, who gave him most of his equipment back, along with Olga's high-frequency blade. [21] Raiden, upon returning to active combat, aggressively chose Maverick missions that directly related to Desperado's activities. After Snake was forced from REX, following a grueling battle with Liquid Ocelot's RAY, Raiden set himself free from under the debris by cutting off his right arm, and headed to assist his ally. In the trailer for the Battle against RAY, Raiden is revealed to have a different HUD based on the one seen in Metal Gear Solid 4, because he was using a modified version of his original cyborg body, as well as the battle taking place before his duel with Sam. A By doing this, she revealed herself as an enemy of Solidus Snake, who angrily killed Olga. She remarked about their similar pasts, although she quickly learned that the similarities ended there and that they were quite different as people. After the Colonel claimed that Rose was being held hostage, Raiden began to fear that Rose didn't exist either, and that all his memories of her might have been falsified. Raiden's dead body in an Alternative Mission. His training with Solidus suggested some emphasis in melee combat, and particularly in bladed weapons, as demonstrated by his defeat of Solidus in a sword fight during the Big Shell Incident. It's mentioned in a Codec. From there he participated in over three hundred VR simulations,[note 1] including re-creations of the Shadow Moses Incident and the Tanker Incident. They then deduced from Courtney that they could stop the situation at Mach 23 speeds, which would take half an hour to get there, with Raiden requesting that they contact Solis Space & Aeronautics.
