Thanks for the video and this is a fun topic. I think she’s consistent in being a naive, immature kid throwing a temper tantrum. She essentially still rules by might. And, even the character stories generally tends to focus on her own issues (finding meaning to eternity, dealing with her puppet).
Granted, she’s a demon (Baal) like all the other Archons, so not sure she’s a ‘good guy’ anyways. I’m not sure how that’ll play in yet.
What I do find interesting is the company’s attempts to glorify her. It’s the meta-perspective of her from the character stories that’s jarring. It’s as if they didn’t know what to do with her irl popularity.
Part of me hopes they and the other archons ends up being antagonists again when the heavenly principles wake up, though I don’t think Hoyo can pull that off.
Even Neuvillette, the literal Hydro Dragon Sovereign, says (in a simplified way) that he'll wait to judge her when she stops sulking in her room. Screw you, Raiden. Screw you and your entire hellish island nation. Except Watatsumi Island, they're chill. 99% of Inazuma though, screw you, Inazuma.
i think she as a character is exceptionally well written prior to the events of the inazuma archon quest. i think it’s specifically her ingame arc which was handled poorly.
i think it would have been better handled if we’d actually seen more of her in the archon quest. she’s in like 3(?) scenes or something and really should’ve gotten more screentime to properly flesh her out
This is actually a very good explanation of Raiden's entire character and I finally have a much better understanding as to why you hate her so much. I played the quest obviously during the time Inazuma came out, but the way you explained it brought a much better light to her entire situation and character. I still like her character, design and combat abilities, but I will agree that she is absolute trash as far as srorytelling goes.
Raiden started as the best archon and ended as the worst. The funniest part of the video is how you managed to explain it all without even getting into her character quests that didn't help her case at all.
The worst part is during her story quest she's all "Oh my sister and friends died T^T feel bad for me" Lady how many people's deaths are you directly responsible for? You think they didn't have friends and families? You just caused your country to have civil war due to your decrees, maybe feel a bit of guilt about that?
I like to think everyone is just terrified of her so they act normal and worship her out of fear, don't want her to go crazy and cause another war after all.
i geniuenly dislike everything about raiden and dont understand why people hype her up so much.
Her design is… okay? She's horribly written like you said, and her kit is horrible. Her burst is supposed to be a strong nuke, yet you need c2 for it to even do "damage" (it barely does any, even compared to other old characters). She can also be used for hyperbloom, but kuki is just better. So in the end, her only use is being a battery… a 5 star whose only use is being a way for actually good 5 stars to get their bursts quicker..
If evil, why hot?
I agree Raiden Ei story was carp..
But i like the tighs.. So….
this is so true thank you random stranger online
Best she just remained as evil 😮
U know we actually don't mind u taking break if u wanna

Dang I didn't know

Its so funny how the son she abandoned has a better written story then her 💀
Common Soul W
Live laugh hate raiden shogun
Honestly, if Raiden wasn't an Archon, I would never pull for her.
I'll never get over how she treated her people and how she threw baby Wanderer away.
(Yae Miko down playing Shoguns actions is a major reason why I don't like her either…😑)
I haven't seen such resinless behavior since Hera and Hephaestus!😤🙄🍵💅🏽
I would say Kokomi is worst, but Raiden have scales against her

Ok I have heard some truth here
Raiden started as the best archon and ended as the worst. The funniest part of the video is how you managed to explain it all without even getting into her character quests that didn't help her case at all.
The worst written character. . .
In English
ONLY
If had played Honkai Impact 3rd or heard about, would understand easily what Raiden must go through and will gain empathy to her
Something that all of her haters and electro element don't have
The worst part is during her story quest she's all "Oh my sister and friends died T^T feel bad for me"
Lady how many people's deaths are you directly responsible for? You think they didn't have friends and families? You just caused your country to have civil war due to your decrees, maybe feel a bit of guilt about that?

HUGE AGREE
Only thing here is that the vision hunt decree isnt the lock down. The Sakoku Decree is and that did come before. But uhh otherwise yeah bad

Yup, I don’t even need to watch, I mean I’m gonna, but yup I agree.
