Ames goes on to reveal that the aim of the terrorists is not the destruction of the Big Shell, but the ultimate aim of the terrorists is to detonate a nuclear bomb over Manhattan, thus liberating it from the influence of the Patriots because of an electromagnetic pulse that will knock out all communications.

Making his way through the old city crawling with cyborg patrols and Gekkos, he also encountered the IF Prototype LQ-84i unmanned weapon that was deployed to assassinate Raiden. His training with Solidus suggested some emphasis in melee combat, and particularly in bladed weapons, as demonstrated by his defeat of Solidus in a sword fight during the Big Shell Incident. Raiden's business suit from the prologue was also implied in one of his cards in Metal Gear Solid: Social Ops to be an unlockable skin, similar to Snake's suit in Metal Gear Solid 4. Entitled Metal Gear Raiden: Snake Eraser, Raiden (voiced by Charlie Schlatter, who voiced Raikov in the main game), motivated by Rose's comment about changing the future, attempts to "erase" Solid Snake by traveling back in time in a Terminator-like fashion and attempting to assassinate Naked Snake, all ending in humorous failure. He had eventually left the Force XXI group by January 20, 2007.[9].

After completing Metal Gear Solid Mobile, revealed to be a VR mission, Solid Snake is declared a failed test subject and has his memories erased, and a pair of mysterious voices discuss a second test subject, "Jack", wondering if he can do better. His skills with a bladed weapon, as well as his cruelty in dispatching enemies with them, was another reason for his "Ripper" nickname. Raiden appeared as a combatant in the popular web series Death Battle by ScrewAttack (the same show that featured Solid Snake fighting Sam Fisher), where he fought against Wolverine of Marvel Comics. Though Raiden was able to kill several of his assailants, he was eventually overwhelmed and forced to the ground. Raiden, however, also expressed disgust towards the Patriots' actions, and made it clear beforehand that he will not follow their commands anymore. Raiden says that only one out of 50 soldiers can kill without hesitation, before declaring himself a "two-percenter." Even after he recovered, his inability to protect N'mani would haunt him. The negative reception towards Raiden and Rose was also alluded to regarding Raiden and Rose's VR avatars in the same story line, in the scene where Solidus is forced to summon their avatars, where it was stated their misdeeds earned them "the combined hate of the entire universe" as well as the ability to "destroy a world" simply by there mere presence, and thus they were infamous in countless universes.[45]. [15] He rarely got to see his family because of his line of work, but the few times he did see his family always put a smile on his son's face.

A Snake wins the fight easily due to Raiden having terrible CQC skills, sitting in the "Main Character" chair, signalling a chime. [71][72] In Europe, the negative reception towards Raiden was even more pronounced, largely because of not only the plot twist, and the lengthy delays in releasing Metal Gear Solid 2, but also because several gaming magazines spoiled the twist in their coverage, which left the players being unable to avoid it. A podcast, however, addressed this issue and stated that the game would explain why Raiden is back on the battlefield despite the implications of Metal Gear Solid 4's ending.[47]. Raiden (Japanese; ), real name Jack, is one of the three main protagonists of the Metal Gear series (alongside Big Boss and Solid Snake), appearing as the main protagonist of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, a major supporting character in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and the main protagonist of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. A day after the events of Abkhazia, he and Blade Wolf were dispatched to Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco, one of 32 states within Mexico, to infiltrate a research facility. Raiden is first depicted as a white-haired adult who uses a protective suit known as a "Skull Suit" (, Sukaru Stsu) for his missions in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.
