“	I sense an odd presence, and here before me stands my shadow.	„
	~ Raido upon meeting Raidou

“	Not our shadows? ...I will trust your judgement. But the question remains... Who are you? Answer me! Why have you assumed the form of Raido Kuzunoha the 14th?	„
	~ Raido to Raido

“

They're lying, Goto... Why would he declare my name?

„

“

...You're right, of course. If you have nothing to conceal, then come along with us.

„

“

...I sensed a strange presence and this man appeared. Goto didn't think he was a demon, so we brought him here."

„

“

...Yes?

„

“

Let us begin the ritual. Do not let go of the Amatsu Kanagi you were given. This will be the first time I have performed the Ritual of Soul-Sending. The power stored inside the Amatsu Kanagi will allow you to cross the dimensional rift... Chant along with me in your mind and stay alert... We shall begin...

„

“

You... I knew it... there's another me in THIS world, too. That means I'm in an alternate dimension... Yes... everything here is identical to the way it is in my world.

„

“

You're right about that. I got this nasty wound from a demon. But despite that... I managed to lure the demon into the dimensional rift and trap it there. The blowback knocked me all the way into this world.

„

“

This energy signature! He must have broken through his confinement and followed me here!

„

“

You defeated that demon lord...

„

“

I see... The Gouto of this world is a little more encouraging, isn't he?

„

“

Let's begin. Come visit my world again sometime and I'll have tea cakes ready for you.

„

“

Hahaha... Fair enough. Then I suppose I'll leave it to you.

„

“

Goodbye. ...I am grateful.

„

“

Hmm... That machine's not bad. I almost got sent to the scolding room. ...You should jump in too, Raidou. He's got potential.

„

“

Wow. You're as easy to manipulate as ever. Hahaha. Well, let's do this!

„

“

Hey, Raidou, let's use that thing we picked up in the Akarana Corridor.

„

“

Oh? Have your sails picked up a bit of the Heisei wind? Have you become more modern thinking now?

„

“

DOUBLE SUMMON!

„

“

Hahaha! I like you, Heisei Kid. I thought you needed a machine to do everything, but I see that I was wrong.

„

“

Ugh... you're so stiff. You need to loosen up some. Why don't we go check out what the Heisei ladies are like. I bet the waitresses here are even better.

„

“

Oh, reallllly? Because it doesn't sound like your heart's in that...

„

“

So long, Heisei Kid. This was fun.

Background

Raido Kuzunoha XIV is the alternate version of Raidou Kuzunoha XIV from another dimension first appearing Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army. His appearance is the same as Raidou, but his face possesses scars which are across his left cheek and his right eye as well as his hat having a small chip in its brim; and, unlike Raidou, he isn't a silent protagonist, speaking like a normal character.

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

Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army His first appearance was in Raidou Kuzunoha vs. Soulless Army, in Episode 9: The Two Summoners, as Raidou was being trapped inside the dimensional rift created by Rasputin and eventually end up in an another dimension, a similar world to his own, but not fully synchronized in time, as events that in his own world were months old were barely unfolding in Raido's dimension. At first, Raido thought that Raidou was his doppelganger or a demon using his appearance as disguise when he met him at Tamonten Shrine, he tried to attack Raidou but was stopped by the version of Gouto indigenous to his world. Raido's Gouto, called Goto-Douji, managed to convince him to take Raidou and the other Gouto to meet with the Herald of Yatagarasu. Later on, Raido was asked by the herald to assist Raidou Kuzunoha XIV to send him back to his dimension by after Raidou managed to obtained all the prisms to form Amatsu Kanagi by using the Spirit Cast-Away spell at the Ushigome-Gaeri Bridge. He was seen collapsing after he managed to send Raidou back to his dimension. Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon Raido returns in the sequel, Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon, in the Case File Fake Raidou Sighted! The File stated that a fake Raidou had been spotted at Waden One in Sakuradayama. Apparently, Raido fell into the dimensional rift while battling the Demon Lord, Pagan Mara. Having lost his quarry and gotten lost in another world, Raido remained in Waden One until Raidou caught up with him and drew Mara out. After Mara's destruction, Raido asked Raidou for help in returning to his world. They sought help from the Herald of Yatagarasu, who told them that Raidou had to perform the Art of Spirit Cast-Away and gave them the Amatsu Kanagi. Together, Raidou and Raido entered Dark Tsukudo-Cho and Raidou sent Raido back to his own dimension, inverting the events of the previous game. This event will also open up the Akarana Corridor dungeon, which can be accessed by using the rift on the Ushigome-Gaeri Bridge in Dark Tsukudo-Cho. Raido is seen in the Akarana Corridor, telling Raidou that he routinely trains in the Corridor. Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers (3DS) He appears alongside Raidou Kuzunoha XIV and his own Goto as the game's ultimate boss, in the Extra Dungeon. After the defeat of the previous boss, Raido appears and initially tests the protagonist with three demons of his own, Gashadokuro, Yoshitsune, and Mishaguji. He then teams up with Raidou in a second battle, and finally they both dual-summon Oumagatsu for one last fight.

The Soul Hackers cast also previously fought and defeated the Devil Summoner protagonist, who fought and defeated the Demiurge, who is stated by Metatron to be the most powerful of YHVH's fragments. YHVH is the progenitor of all gods and all religions from all around the world, existing as the one true original god. Turned all other gods in the pantheon into demons.

  • Bullets: Originally in Raidou Kuzunoha vs The Soulless King Raidou would be limited to 24 bullets of each type until he buys the corresponding clip for that ammunition type, however in Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon , Raidou has unlimited ammo.

Other

Standard Tactics: Raido's tactics should be similar to Raidou's, as he uses demons along with his sword and gun attacks.

Weaknesses: Cannot confine enemies that are more powerful then him. If he is ever defeated by low tier enemies, the one's that precede him will kill him for such a disgrace. If his luck is low, he will face various negative effects in battle. His demons are weak to mercuric sulfide.

Trivia

• The "scolding room" that Raido could be possibly referring to in Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers is the Nameless Shrine Shinoda, referencing the place where a game over occurs if Raidou's HP is reduced to 0.
