From The Codex
"Mature Content"
This character or verse has mature themes and concepts, thus those of young age are ill-advised to look through these.

The name Raiden is actually that of a deity known as the Thunder God. It is rumored he received a personal invitation by Shang Tsung himself and took the form of a human to compete in the Tournament.
~ Mortal Kombat arcade bio

You have been chosen to represent earth in Mortal Kombat. Be warned. Although your souls are protected against Shao Kahn's evil: Your lives are not. I cannot interfere any longer as your earth is now ruled by the outworld gods.
~ These are the words of Raiden

Background

Raiden is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. Being the eternal God of Thunder, Raiden has been one of the most memorable characters in the fighting game genre as well as the earliest playable Gods in the genre. He has remained a major, central character throughout his appearances, often serving as the deuteragonist of the franchise behind Liu Kang. In the new timeline, Raiden's role is reversed where he's young & mortal.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Raiden’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!
Main


When Earthrealm was young, Raiden was its protector. He fought the rogue Elder God Shinnok, who wished to rule it, in a war that threatened to destroy Earthrealm itself. One of the casualties of the war was the Saurian civilization (of which Reptile was a member), forcing the remaining survivors to emigrate to another world, which they named Zaterra.

With the aid of the Elder Gods, Raiden managed to defeat Shinnok. Stripping him of his amulet (the source of his Elder God powers), he banished the evil Elder God to the Netherrealm, and placed his powerful amulet in a secret location- a Temple of the Elements he constructed in the mountains of Nepal. He assigned four gods to guard the amulet: the gods of Wind, Fire, Earth and Water.

When the elder Sub-Zero stole Shinnok's amulet for Quan Chi millions of years later, Raiden appeared before the Lin Kuei warrior, and told him to enter the Netherrealm and steal it back, lest Shinnok use it to free himself. Raiden was unable to do it himself, as he would lose all of his powers in the Netherrealm. Sub-Zero did as requested, for the time being, removing Shinnok as a threat.

Some time later, Shang Tsung invited Raiden to participate in Mortal Kombat. Aware of the threat posed by this tournament to the future of Earthrealm, Raiden took the form of a human to compete.

One year later, Raiden found that he had no choice but to accept Shang Tsung's offer of Mortal Kombat in Outworld. Knowing full well the treachery of Shang Tsung and brutality of Shao Kahn, he warned the surviving members of the Shaolin tournament and disappeared alone to the Outworld.

After the Earthrealm warriors' victory, Raiden had to scramble to protect his warriors' souls when Shao Kahn reached across the realms and reclaimed his resurrected Queen Sindel. With the safety of his champions ensured, Raiden wished to fight alongside them, but was unable to due to the merger between Earthrealm and Outworld. The Outworld menace now ruled Earthrealm, and Raiden had no choice but to give up his godhood in order to fight. Following Liu Kang's defeat of Shao Kahn, he reclaimed his status as both a god and Earthrealm's protector.

Raiden and his warriors again entered battle when Shinnok escaped the Netherrealm to once more wage war against the gods. Shinnok's attack caught the Elder Gods off-guard and killed many of the gods of Earthrealm. However, this time the war would also be fought by mortals; with Liu Kang uniting Earthrealm's warriors under the banner of the troubled Thunder god, Raiden's Forces of Light emerged successful. Now granted the status of Elder God, he turned over his position as Earthrealm's protector to Fujin.

As an Elder God, Raiden could not interfere when Shang Tsung and Quan Chi killed Liu Kang many years later. Disgusted at his peers for their refusal to intervene, he renounced his position as an Elder, gathering his warriors to stop the Deadly Alliance. This time, disaster struck the heroes. The Earthrealm warriors were all slain in battle with the Tarkatan horde and in a desperate measure, he confronted Shang Tsung and Quan Chi in front of the Soulnado, but was defeated.

He returned to his feet when Onaga, the Dragon King, entered the chamber, and stood beside Tsung and Quan Chi as they attacked Onaga. When he saw that their attacks barely slowed Onaga down, Raiden released his godly essence, the effect of which was a single, massive explosion. It obliterated the Dragon King's tomb, snuffed out the Soulnado, apparently destroyed the Deadly Alliance and Raiden himself, but did not harm Onaga. Raiden's essence soon gathered again in the Earthrealm, where, because his essence was corrupted because of Onaga, he had now become furious with the way Earthrealm's inhabitants had treated their own realm. He became even more enraged when he learned that Shujinko had foolishly unleashed the Dragon King by attaining the Kamidogu of various realms for him. With that, his patience exhausted, Raiden then decided he was going to punish those who placed Earthrealm in harm's way.

Raiden's shift in attitude comes to a head when he tried to brutally slay Shujinko for his errors, but Shujinko was able to survive Raiden's attack, surprisingly Raiden turned his attention away from Shujinko and towards Liu Kang's corpse.

Removing Liu Kang's body from its grave, Raiden took it to an underground temple that belonged to an ancient sect of necromancers called the Houan, whom he had destroyed centuries earlier. Binding Kang's body with enchanted shackles the Houan had used to control their revived undead, Raiden spoke the enchantments etched into the temple's walls that revived his former ally, infusing it with a thunderclap of lightning. The corpse of Liu Kang was now the enforcer of Raiden's will, and he sent it on a mission to wreak havoc on those he believed did harm to Earthrealm. This caught the attention of Shinnok, who appeared before Raiden and offered him an alliance. If Raiden were to assist him in whatever he wanted, Shinnok would try to ensure the safety of Earthrealm. Raiden was well aware of Shinnok's deceptive nature, but he accepted the offer in an attempt to secretly uncover Shinnok's plans.

His story is further expanded in the Konquest mode of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, when Taven encounters him. He informs Taven that he had struck a deal with Shao Kahn, agreeing to let the Emperor of Outworld conquer and rule all other realms, so long as Earthrealm was left alone. In return, Raiden agreed to hunt and eliminate Taven for Kahn, so that he could claim Blaze's godlike power for himself. Raiden confronts Taven as Kahn, Onaga, Shang Tsung, and Quan Chi escape into a portal leading to Edenia. He is unsuccessful however, as he is defeated by Taven, and left unconscious on the ground. Taven, while still being in shock and disbelief at Raiden's actions, leaves and follows the villains through the portal.

Unbeknownst to Raiden, however, Fujin had become aware of his change of attitude and outlook and had decided to do something about it. Teaming up with Liu Kang's former ally, Kung Lao, he intended to defeat Raiden and Liu Kang and try to restore them, aware that they may have to destroy them if unsuccessful.

Raiden apparently regained at least some of his sanity as he later participated in the Battle of Armageddon on the side of Light, engaging in kombat against Shinnok. He and Shao Kahn became the last two kombatants standing and they fought on top of the Pyramid of Argus. With the power of Blaze, Shao Kahn easily defeated Raiden. Before Shao Kahn landed the final blow, Raiden used the shattered remains of his amulet to send his past self a cryptic message: "He must win".

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
Having repulsed Shao Kahn's invasion, Raiden confronts him and Quan Chi at a Graveyard. The Thunder God blasts the Outworld ruler into a portal, seemingly killing him. Raiden then brings Quan Chi to face the Elder God's judgement.

After Liu Kang was captured by the invaders, he teleports on to the UN Space Station and strikes Batman with his lightning. Batman gets up and says to him that his armor is insulated. Raiden demands Batman to release him, but he refuses until he gets answers. Raiden fights the Dark Knight, but was resisted due to his insulated armor. Raiden gets up and successfully rescues Liu Kang by teleporting away.

He and Liu Kang later appear at his temple after Jax defeated a rage driven Sonya. Sonya explains to Lord Raiden about the invaders that attacked her and believes that Shao Kahn might be alive and the DC heroes and villains are his reinforcements. After Sub-Zero arrives at his temple, he doesn’t give him a warm welcome due the Lin Kuei’s corruption and challenges him to kombat. Sub-Zero defeats Raiden and agrees to entrust him to confront Quan Chi to get answers. He tells him to find Scorpion, but warns him not to betray his trust.

After Captain Marvel arrives at the Rock of Eternity to seek the Wizard’s help, Raiden appears and tells him there are no wizards or sorcerers here. Captain Marvel and Raiden then argue by saying that they do not belong here. Captain Marvel is infected by the Kombat Rage and defeated him. He disappears after being punched away.

After Raiden finds out that Quan Chi escaped, he was so angry at Sub-Zero and he lost his trust. Quan Chi then appears and saves all the kombatants by using the last of his power to eliminate the kombat rage from Kitana. Raiden then agrees to team up with the forces of darkness to eliminate the invaders. He pairs up Liu Kang with Shang Tsung. After the fighter returned, he was confused on how the invaders overpowered them. Shang Tsung then mocks Sonya and Kano for being defeated by the Joker which resulted into a fight. Kano is defeated by Shang Tsung was informed by Jax that the invaders are heading to Outworld, They soon head there as well.

They later confront the DC heroes and villains and challenge them to Mortal Kombat. After a rage empowered fight, Shang Tsung and Liu Kang are the only Mortal Kombat Kombatants left standing. Raiden then accuses Shang Tsung for luring everyone to their doom and attacks him. After he defeats the sorcerer, Liu Kang intervenes and refuses to let him kill Shang Tsung. Liu Kang later was defeated by his mentor, but stops after returning to normal. Raiden then goes to confront Dark Kahn and was later stopped by Superman. They both fought each other and were evenly matched. After realizing that they are on the same side, they both work together to defeat Dark Kahn.

In the aftermath of Dark Kahn’s destruction, all the kombatants witnessed their universe being restored. They soon find a weakened Darkseid and Raiden brings him to face the judgement of the Elder Gods.

Equipment

  • Staff of Raiden: A Staff is a long stick used as a support when walking or climbing or as a weapon. With many martial arts fighting styles and variants based on it. Raiden's Staff also known as Staff of Raiden and occasionally the Stave is the mystical weapon of choice by the Earth's thunder god Raiden. This wooden staff was given to him as a gift long ago from the Elder Gods, and is made of a special kind of wood that can withstand electrical shocks. The staff has been his main weapon style in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, Mortal Kombat: Deception and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.
  • War Hammer: A war hammer is a late medieval weapon of war primarily used for close combat action, whose design resembles the hammer. Raiden owns an ancient War Hammer, which was introduced as his weapon style in Mortal Kombat 4. It is one of his two mystical and electrically charged weapons, the other being his staff.
  • Amulet of Raiden: The Amulet of Raiden is a mystical talisman that belonged to the Earthrealm's thunder god, Raiden. This golden, sapphire amulet with the Mortal Kombat dragon icon was originally created by the Elder Gods and was given to Raiden as a gift. During the Mortal Kombat (2011) Story Mode, a future version of Raiden, while fighting a losing battle against Shao Kahn uses the shattered remains of his amulet to send his past self visions of the future, as well as the message "He must win." Throughout the game, Raiden periodically checks his amulet, noticing it cracking more and more as the events progress - indicating that the future he seeks to prevent is drawing closer despite his efforts. Near the end, the amulet is shattered by Shao Kahn just as it was in the future. After the defeat of Shao Kahn, the amulet is restored to its intact self, indicating that the future has finally been changed.
  • Amulet of Shinnok: The Amulet of Shinnok is among the most potent and powerful of all mystic talismans within all the realms. It is the most magnificent treasure, and also greatest weapon, of its creator, the fallen Elder God Shinnok. Anyone who wields the accursed amulet of Shinnok will increase their powers drastically. For example, when Shinnok wields the amulet, his main power, immortality, increased to the point of pure immortality, which is the ability to resurrect himself, thus never be vanquished. Another use of the amulet is teleportation via portal. These portals may teleport the user anywhere in any realm, as long as it is a real environment. Raiden states in Deception that Quan Chi only knows how to use a small fraction of the amulet's power, but this itself is enough to make him a tremendous threat. As demonstrated in the new timeline, the amulet possesses the power to trap multiple beings inside itself, and unleash waves of crimson energy that can kill lesser beings instantly. Raiden, in his corrupted state, even weakened by being in Netherrealm, was able to use the amulet combined with his control over lightning to single-handedly destroy wave after wave of demons rushing to attack him.

Notable Techniques


  • Nan Chuan: Nan Chuan also known as Nan Quan is a fighting style that was used by Raiden in Deadly Alliance, Deception and Armageddon.
  • Jujutsu: Jujutsu, also known as jujitsu, is a Japanese martial art and a method of close combat for defeating an opponent in which one uses either a short weapon or none. It's also a fighting style used by Raiden in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance and Mortal Kombat: Deception.
  • Judo: Judo is a fighting style used by Raiden in Mortal Kombat: Conquest. A modern martial art, its most prominent characteristic is its competitive nature, where the goal is to either throw or takedown one's opponent to the ground, immobilize, or subdue them with a grapple, or force them to submit by joint locking or strangle hold or choke. Kenshi has learned Judo during his adolescent years.
  • Tae Kwon Do: Tae Kwon Do (태권도, 跆拳道, Taegwondo) is a South Korean martial art, characterized by its emphasis on head-height kicks, jumping and spinning kicks, and fast kicking techniques. It's a fighting style used by Raiden in Mortal Kombat: Conquest and Mortal Kombat (2011).
  • Shaolin Fist: Shaolin Fist is a translation of the Chinese Shaolinquan, what is most commonly referred to in English as "Shaolin Kung Fu". A young mortal Raiden used it in Mortal Kombat 1.

Other

Standard Tactics: Raiden will incoporate martial arts techniques along with weapons, along with using various of his lightning. When corrupted, he uses Shinnok's Amulet as apart of his arsenal[210].

Weaknesses: Despite how powerful Raiden's lightning is, it can still be nullified by insulators[211]. Destroying his very godly essence and regenerating can corrupt him and turn him evil[212]. Raiden's powers are compromised while he's in Outworld[213]. Raiden's powers are weaker within the Netherrealm[214]. Noted that Raiden can show some incompetence at times[215].

Note: The power of the Blaze is not a universal amplification for every character, with characters having varying power increases such as increasing their power exponentially[217], "a thousand-fold"[218], tenfold[219], etcetera. As the Blaze's power is mainly based on making one's desires surface, the user isn't given the same amplification as others, thus the user can reach "Up to" Universe levels of power with it, but isn't automatically at this level just because they have the power of Blaze.

Note 2: It is noted by Ed Boon that characters surviving fatal blows and X-Rays are purely an in-game only thing and that in cutscene only characters like Raiden could survive a bullet to the head[220].

Trivia

  • Raiden's name and status as a God are taken directly from the Japanese thunder god Raijin, who is also called Raiden sama (雷電様 "Lord Raiden").
  • Raiden's name is written as 雷電 (WG: Lei2-Tien4) in both Traditional Chinese and Japanese (Raiden, reading phonetically) and 雷电 (PY: Léidiàn) in Simplified Chinese. This is simply the Chinese word for "thunder and lightning" that was borrowed in Japanese together with the Chinese characters. The first character (雷) in this word means "thunder", the second one (電) now mostly means "electricity", or "lightning" in ancient times.
  • On the home versions of the first four games and in the Mortal Kombat films, comics, and TV series', his name is spelled Rayden. This was because Acclaim feared copyright issues from a Tecmo shoot 'em up game Raiden.[221] Ed Boon in particular expressed disliked for this.[222]
  • Raiden is one of the earliest instances of a playable God in a fighting game.
  • Raiden was modeled after the character "Lightning" from the 1986 John Carpenter movie Big Trouble in Little China.
    • Lightning was one of three storms from the movie. Fujin corresponds most with Thunder (they share a suicidal final attack theme), while the purple ninja Rain corresponds to the third storm (also named Rain).
  • Raiden is the protagonist of Mortal Kombat (2011), and co-protagonist of Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe.
  • Like Scorpion and Jax, there's only 1 game where Raiden doesn't make a playable appearance, not counting updates, ports and spin-offs.
  • Raiden's Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe ending implies that he has become like Ultraman, Earth-3's Superman, where his powers are inverted (e.g. Kryptonite fuels his powers, solar radiation from a yellow star weakens them).
  • Raiden's popularity as a "thunder god" and the way fans reacted to him when he made his debut ultimately led to the creation of other gods such as Fujin (the "wind god"). While they had their own uniqueness, Raiden was still considered to be the most popular of all the gods in the series.
  • He also appeared as a secret character in Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict, NFL Blitz and NBA Jam: Tournament Edition, as well as a cameo appearance in a pinball machine, Bally's 1994 World Cup Championship, in a bonus round, WWE Immortals and a playable guest character Injustice 2.
    • To unlock Raiden in Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict, the player had to complete all the challenges. Two of the challenges are called "Unreal Kombat". The challenges involved 3 people at once though rather than their traditional 2. Also all 3 people used staff weapons for their melee weapons.
    • Raiden is also one of the playable character in Broforce under the name Broden, his appearance is based from a 1995 film.
  • The television show Mortal Kombat: Conquest is the only portrayal of Raiden as sort of "laid back" god, where he seems like a normal human (or guardian over Kung Lao) rather than an immortal being.
  • Raiden has been portrayed by Midway employee and martial artist Carlos Pesina in all his 2D games' appearances, except in Mortal Kombat Trilogy's versus screen, where he is portrayed by Sal Divita.
  • In Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, he was supposed to partake in an extensive fight scene with Sheeva (Marjean Holden). Despite being in the shooting script (and subsequent novel adaptation), it was cut from the film. Raiden instead fights a pair of Reptile clones, and Sheeva is crushed by a falling cage.
  • Raiden's official theme is titled "Eternal Life".
  • In a Top 10 list hosted by Screwattack.com, Raiden's Godly Essence Fatality is listed at #5 for the Worst Fatality due to Raiden blowing himself up during the Fatality.
  • In his profile from the Brady Games' Official Mortal Kombat 4 Fighters Companion strategy guide, Raiden's favorite food is "nuclear buffalo wings". This guide also said that Kid Thunder is his favorite nephew.
  • Actors Clancy Brown and Christopher Lambert, both starring in the film Highlander, have both portrayed Raiden.
  • When Shao Kahn killed Raiden in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, his dragon Tattoo did not fly off when he died when all of the others with tattoos did. He explains this in the movie as Cyrax's, as well as Mileena's being temporary, as they are not in Raiden's bloodline.
  • WWE Superstar Xavier Woods is playable in the WWE Immortals game as Raiden.
  • Raiden is the first playable God in the series starting in this game.
  • Raiden's Fatality in the original Mortal Kombat was drastically altered in the Super NES version due to Nintendo's strict no-blood policy at the time. The decapitation was changed to the opponent's turning into a gray pile of dust.
  • In the Super Nintendo version of the first Mortal Kombat, by killing the final opponent in the third Endurance Match with Raiden using his Shock to the Head fatality will make Goro appear grey just like the ashes when he defeated the opponent.
  • Raiden was originally going to use his staff as a weapon in Mortal Kombat II, but Midway were forced to omit it due to memory constraints.
  • In Mortal Kombat 3 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 for both the arcade and home versions, Nightwolf's Friendship had him transform into Raiden and an arcade machine of Mortal Kombat II drop down with two quotes, "Yes, But I Can Do a Raiden Transformation" or "I've Never Seen a Kano Transformation" (despite not actually turning into Kano). This Friendship was omitted in the Nintendo 64 version of Mortal Kombat Trilogy, due to the fact that Raiden was in that game with the same Mortal Kombat II sprite. Perhaps as a nod to this, Nightwolf becomes Raiden's second-in-command in the story mode of Mortal Kombat (2011).
  • Of all the Kombat Kode symbols shown in Mortal Kombat 3, Raiden's symbol was the eighth to appear if the player presses the right buttons seven times or in reverse by holding the joystick Up and press the right buttons three times.
  • Raiden and Johnny Cage share the same fighting stance in Mortal Kombat 4.
  • Raiden's alternate costume in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance is his first official appearance hatless. Also, he has a katana on his waist, but he does not use it in battle.
  • Originally, Raiden was not going to be in Deception, and the opening of Deception explained why Raiden would not be in the game. However, this changed after fan complaints, and Raiden remained in the game; the character who would have replaced him, Fujin, makes only a cameo appearance in the Prison stage, and in the Orderrealm during Konquest. Despite this, logically, Fujin is still the protector of Earthrealm, as appointed in Mortal Kombat 4.
  • Raiden's alignment and personality change on the events of Mortal Kombat: Deception can be related not only to Onaga's presence, but also influenced by the Elder God's passivity. Since the supreme entities only interfere on Realm affairs when occurs a threat to their existence and power, after many times requesting help, Raiden adopted a machiavellian ideology of doing anything for the protection of Earthrealm, including allying himself to the Forces of Darkness. These steps didn't interfere on the Elder Gods affairs, so Raiden decided to do whatever was necessary to preserve Earthrealm, even not being its current protector at the time.
  • In Deception, Raiden's ending is the only ending to be narrated by himself.
  • During the development of Mortal Kombat Armageddon, early screen shots showed Raiden's pre-Dark Raiden portrait being used for the character select screen, implying Raiden had returned to his original self. When the game was ultimately released however, the portrait had been changed to his Dark Raiden version, and was left as such in the games unchanged from Mortal Kombat Deception.
  • Nightwolf refers to Raiden as Haokah, the Lakota Indian thunder god.
  • If Raiden is using his "Dark Raiden" costume, his teleport will be red instead of white.
  • If certain X-Ray Moves are performed on Raiden, his hat will fall off. However, it will not fall off during Fatalities, similar to Kung Lao's Razor-Rimmed Hat.
  • He is the last playable fighter in Mortal Kombat (2011)'s story mode.
  • In Mortal Kombat (2011), one of Raiden's Fatalities is called "Just A Scratch". This is a reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, in which the Black Knight fights King Arthur and is dismembered, the Black Knight says "Tis but a scratch". Raiden also severs the opponent's limbs and leaves the head like in the film. Unlike the film however, where King Arthur decides to just leave the limbless Black Knight be and go, Raiden picks up the dismembered body and smashes the head in to kill them.
    • This is the second Fatality to reference a scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail as Kung Lao's "Unfriendly Rabbit" Fatality from Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks is likely a reference to the Rabbit of Caerbannog from the film.
  • In the Mortal Kombat (2011) Arcade Ladder, Raiden appears in eight endings, including his own. This is more than any other character in the game.
  • If Reptile's Yummy! Fatality is performed on Raiden, Reptile will swallow his head, while his hat is still on.
  • Raiden had a different X-Ray Move for Mortal Kombat X during development, compared to the one found in the final version. This version has the same start as the final version, with Raiden shooting electricity at the opponent, but it doesn't send them flying. Instead, Raiden comes in close and attacks them with a high kick, similar to the one performed by Johnny Cage during his X-Ray Move. Raiden then grabs the victim's spine and releasing a powerful electrical current through the opponent, before teleporting in front of them, and punching them in the liver, sending them flying backwards.
  • He and Shinnok are the only characters to address guest character Leatherface as "Leatherface".
    • Shinnok will, however, address Leatherface by last name in addition to calling him "Leatherface".
    • Although Raiden does not say Jason Voorhees' name at all, he is aware of who he is, saying "Back to Hell with you!", referencing Jason's undead nature.
  • Raiden along with Sub-Zero and Reptile have the weakest X-Ray attacks, dealing only 31% damage.
  • Raiden's Brutality Inside You pays homage to the climactic fight scene in the end of the 1999 film The Matrix in which Neo does the same into Agent Smith and explodes from the inside.
  • Raiden's Thunder God Card was the first card to drain health on tag in. The second was his Klassic Card which has a similar Passive.
  • Raiden's Dark Card was the first card to be immune to Power Drain effects.
    • Dark Raiden was also the first card that was immune to damage-over-time effects.
  • Raiden's Klassic Card was the first card to drain Power on tag in.
  • Raiden's Klassic card is one the few cards with the Grapple bonus on all his specials.
    • Injustice 2 Raiden is one of two cards with Grapple attacks that are completely unavoidable. This is because all the attacks break the opponent's block at the start of every special rather than in the middle. The first was Revenant Jax.
  • Scorpion and Raiden are the only characters with their Injustice skins as playable cards.
  • Raiden's Injustice 2 card uses his Throw (Forward) from his appearance in Injustice 2.
  • Raiden's Injustice 2 card was falsely advertised during its announcement, with the announcement mentioning that he would be able to use his Super Move and other attacks from Injustice 2, however this is entirely false, as only his Special 2 attack is from Injustice 2 and while all his attacks, Combo-Enders, and his X-Ray from Mortal Kombat X is used instead of his Super Move.
  • His Mortal Kombat 11 Card is the first card that disables Combo-Enders.
  • In Injustice 2 Raiden appears as a playable guest character alongside Sub-Zero with Richard Epcar reprising his roles from Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, Mortal Kombat (2011) and Mortal Kombat X, making him the overall third Mortal Kombat character featured in the Injustice series and the second featured in Injustice 2.
  • As with Scorpion and Sub-Zero before him, Raiden was given a redesign by legendary DC Comics artist Jim Lee for his debut in Injustice 2.
  • As with Sub-Zero, his special moves are also imported from Mortal Kombat X and his ending takes place directly after the events of the Story Mode of said game, where he traveled to the Injustice Universe due to the dimensional barrier breaking and after cleansing the Jinsei from Shinnok's corruption.
  • Many of his interactions reference characters in the Mortal Kombat series and the events of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, even mentioning Dark Kahn when clashing with Darkseid.
    • Additionally, Darkseid seems to be aware of who Shinnok is, with Darkseid mocking him during a Clash by calling him a "False God".
      • An interaction with Bane reveals that Bane was recruited by Kano into the Black Dragon.
  • During a Clash in Injustice 2, the Joker and Black Adam will make a reference to Raiden; with Black Adam referring to Raiden as "The guy with the bamboo hat" while the Joker refers to him as that "other lightning guy".
    • This reference could have been a foreshadow for Raiden's appearance in Injustice 2 as a playable guest character via the Fighter Pack 2.
  • Raiden sometimes says "Thunder take you!" during a clash. This could be a reference to his Mortal Kombat (2011) Battle Cry before a fight.
  • Raiden is the only DLC character with a Premier Skin, this skin being Black Lightning.
  • Raiden is the second guest character to appear in Injustice 2, and is the third out of five guest characters overall in the Injustice series. The first was Scorpion in Injustice: Gods Among Us. The second was Sub-Zero, with the fourth being Hellboy and the fifth being the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
  • Raiden is one of the few characters whose voice actor from Mortal Kombat X reprises their role in Mortal Kombat 11.
  • Some of his Brutalities from Mortal Kombat 11 are references to his klassic fatalities. For instance, the Brutality Electric is a reference to Mortal Kombat's Electric Decapitation, whereas Power Of A God is reference to Mortal Kombat II Fatality Electrocution I.
  • An interaction with Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat 11 has Raiden discuss about a dream he had, which Sub-Zero will reply with "of a Dark Knight and a Caped Wonder". This is a reference to both the DC fighting game series Injustice, developed by NetherRealm Studios, and Sub-Zero and Raiden's inclusion in the second game as playable guest characters.
  • Raiden is one of the two earliest characters alongside Sonya whose present-selves died before Kronika's Time Merger was complete, whereas present-Raiden erased from existence by the presence of his past self when the Time Merger is complete. According to the Past-Raiden, the eraser of his present-day self was due to his immortal status causing him to react differently to the laws of time and Kronika's manipulations.
  • Raiden is the only playable character in Story Mode chapter where he faced his opponent twice, most notably Liu Kang (both past and revenant).
  • Raiden is one of six announcers for Mortal Kombat 11 and one of five unlockable announcers. The other four unlockable announcers are Kronika, Shao Kahn, Johnny Cage and RoboCop. To unlock him, the player must subscribe to the Mortal Kombat 11 newsletter.
  • The name of his Friendship is a reference to the TV show Got Talent.
  • If the player choose him with Johnny Cage as an announcer, he will refer to him as Kidd Thunder, a reference to Raiden's frienship in a previous game.
  • Raiden makes a number of pop culture reference.
    • During his intro dialogue with Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat 1, when Johnny Cage said "What I saw in Outworld flipped my mind upside down." in which Raiden reply "I'm told there's more, even stranger things.", which is a reference to a Netflix series Stranger Things.
    • Another intro dialogue with Johnny Cage is where Raiden asked Cage "You once hid from a crazy ex-girlfriend", to which Cage replies "Spent a whole month laying low in West Covina", which is a reference to a TV series Crazy Ex-Girlfriend which stars Vincent Rodriguez III the voice of Raiden.
