Introduced in Metal Gear Solid2, after the short section dedicated to Solid Snake’s infiltration on the oil tanker, Raiden was received as a mockery, a game well orchestrated by Kojima through promotional videos and trailers. The return of him in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots However, it marked a substantial revaluation.
Behind the innocent and delicate face of RaidenKojima has hidden the horrors of war that ends up involving children, turning them into soldiers from a young age. At just 10 years old, Jack (this is Raiden’s real name) found himself leading a unit of peers demonstrating an uncommon strategic and preparatory ability. Over the years he gets nickname after nickname, from White Demon to Jack the Ripper, until he becomes a cyborg ninja and comparing himself to lightning, or “transformed rain”.
His return in the fourth chapter of the series, which closes the story of Solid Snake, is undoubtedly one of the most significant and memorable scenes of the title, and thepassionate Bonzai wanted to dedicate a wonderful cosplay to his hyper-technological design which you can see in the photo at the bottom of the page. From the message linked to the image it seems that the fan took a long time to carefully package the cosplay, and we can say that seeing the result it was completely worth it.
The interpretation of Raiden appears perfect in every detail, from the joints of the suit, to the LEDs on the helmet.
