However, he is never seen using the sword. A saya ( katana scabbard) appears on two of Raiden's secondary costumes.This was featured in the VH1 program I Love 1992, when Edwin McCain thought Raiden said "Santa Monica!" (Raiden was voiced by Midway employee Jon Hey in the first two games.) Interestingly, others thought that he was actually speaking English, and thus Raiden's phrases were mis elucidated as "Get back in the car!", "Gimme ma money!", "Freddy bought a car!" or even "Your mother's from L.A.!" Midway soon revealed that Raiden was merely speaking gibberish and not actual Japanese or English words. Fans originally believed that he was yelling Japanese phrases. Raiden became notorious for yelling randomly while performing his Torpedo move.He has electricity running across his body in MK, MK4, MK Gold, MK: Deadly Alliance, MK 2011 while wearing his alternate outfit, and in MKX.His name is sometimes spelled "Rayden" in the video game series.His conical, straw Chinese coolie (harvester) hat is one of Raiden's most recognizable features.After he merged himself with Liu Kang, Raiden becomes a mere mortal at the end of Story Mode. He has two primary character designs in the MK11 story, his Dark form from the end of the previous game, and his more traditional look albeit with some alterations. However, he seems to return to this form in the post-credits scene of Mortal Kombat X, though now he wears Shinnok's Amulet. Due to the events of Mortal Kombat (2011), this change was rendered null. His cape was changed to a subdued red and appears tattered at the end. In Deception and Armageddon, his visage is warped by Onaga's malevolent aura when he sacrifices himself, reforming as a dark warrior dressed in black robes and dark armor, his eyes changed from a soothing blue to a belligerent red. Lastly, his power is so great that he constantly radiates with lightning energy, electricity constantly dancing and crackling around his being. In Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, one of his outfits is finished by a flowing blue cape. The effect is enhanced by his glowing blue eyes that radiate with electricity and long white hair, befitting of his god-like status. As such, he appears as a fully-grown man wearing predominately white robes and a blue vest, his face usually shadowed by a straw hat. When Kronika erases this incarnation of Raiden from the timeline as a result of his defeat of Shinnok and her merging the timelines, his past incarnation is left to learn of his corruption and stop Kronika's plans of restarting the timeline, vowing never to walk the path of his future self.Īlthough being formless and ethereal, Raiden often takes form on mortal planes.

His outlook on Earthrealm's protection drastically changes, where he lashes out at anyone he deems a threat to Earthrealm, even leading a full on invasion of the Netherrealm to destroy Shinnok's Bone Temple.
In the ending of Mortal Kombat X's Story Mode and seen in Mortal Kombat 11, Raiden now assumes his corrupted form similar to that of his counterpart in the Original Timeline. As Earthrealm's protector, he harbors an intense hatred for Shang Tsung, Shao Kahn, Shinnok, and anyone who would pose a threat to Earth. Throughout the series, Raiden has served as a mentor and father figure to Earthrealm's champions, especially Liu Kang and Kung Lao.
He is also more prone to thinking in terms of eternity rather than normal human lifespans, and has a radically different outlook on life. As a result of his divine nature, he possesses many supernatural abilities, such as the ability to teleport, control lightning, and fly. After the second defeat of Shinnok, he ascended to the status of Elder God.
Raiden is the eternal God of Thunder, protector of Earthrealm, and arguably one of the most powerful characters in all of Mortal Kombat.
