Raiden also shares many similarities to Eli (Liquid Snake) during the events of MGSV as a Caucasian soldier who commanded other child soldiers in African countries (Raiden in Liberia and Liquid in Angolia).

Raiden had a few cards depicting his original Metal Gear Solid 2 appearance, his HD artwork for the same game, his Metal Gear Solid 4 appearance, and his various appearances in Metal Gear Rising.

Because of the length of the hair, Emma once speculated that the hair was actually a wig and that it was a badly done wig.

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. Another trait of Raiden was also incorporated into Snake as well (having the same name).

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. According to Shinkawa in the featurette The Making of Metal Gear Solid 2, the primary reason why Raiden is designed as a bishonen (a "pretty boy") is because a fan letter stated that the addresser in question did not want to "play a story with an old man." The rejected early design for Raiden was also reused for the Cobra Unit member, The Fear.[40]. 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.
