Spoilers for all works on the Metal Gear series preceding this one, including Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots may have been left unmarked. Please read at your own discretion.Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a 2013 Stylish Action spin-off of the Metal Gear series developed by PlatinumGames in collaboration with Kojima Productions. Starring Raiden following his cybernetic transformation in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Metal Gear Rising is an Action-Adventure Hack and Slash like Devil May Cry and Platinum's own Bayonetta, with a particular emphasis on clean cutting enemies and the environment itself apart. However, the game also incorporates classic Metal Gear Stealth Based Gameplay like cardboard boxes, stealth kills, thermal goggles, and distracting guards with various sub-items.The game started life some time after development finished on Metal Gear Solid 4, as a Kojima Productions title called Metal Gear Solid: Rising, handled mostly by the younger staffers entrusted by Hideo Kojima himself. It originally intended to strike a balance between the series' trademark stealth action and a new combat system based around being able to cut almost everything in the game. However, this build was cancelled several months after being shown at E3 2010 due to difficulties achieving a balance between the old and new game design concepts, and the project was handed over to Platinum in early 2011.While the plot initially detailed what happened to Raiden between Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 4, the final Platinum version is set four years after the events of MGS4. Raiden, now a member of a PMC known as Maverick Security Consulting, Inc., finds himself caught up in a Roaring Rampage of Revenge when an African Prime Minister he's guarding gets taken hostage and murdered by a competing PMC, which spirals into something much bigger when he uncovers a plan to make children into cyborg super-soldiers like himself and re-ignite the war economy.Metal Gear Rising was released in February 2013 for the Xbox 360 (outside of Japan) and PlayStation 3, making it the first game in the series ever to get a Multi-Platform debut. A PC port was also announced by Konami and was released on January 9, 2014. You can purchase it from Steam here.On April 9, 2013, the first DLC campaign, "Jetstream", was officially released on the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Store. This story puts players in control of Jetstream Sam, detailing how he came to be affiliated with World Marshal. On May 14, 2013, the second DLC campaign, "Blade Wolf", was officially released on the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Store. This story puts players in control of LQ-84i, detailing his time under Mistral's command before encountering Raiden. | |

Heroic BSoD | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_1439161f | comment |
Downplayed before the fight with Monsoon. Raiden suffers a Heroic BSoD courtesy of Sam forcing him to listen to the thoughts of the cyborgs he's fighting, and becomes severely handicapped as a result, only able to do wide, inaccurate swings and forced to walk everywhere. He has to maneuver around enemies instead of facing them directly, at least until he meets Sam and Monsoon. | |

Darker and Edgier: There's certainly a lot of instances of strong cursing in a series that usually doesn't do it too often. It's also a lot gorier. How gorier? Enemies can be easily sliced to ribbons and jets of blood spray from them as you hack them apart. | |

Early Game Hell | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_1527d90d | comment |
Early Game Hell: The intro level on Very Hard and Revengeance, since you don't have access to any of Raiden's upgrades or skills, yet the game expects you to take down a Gekko and a group of normal cyborgs right when you begin. The following enemies are even tougher, but thankfully you can just run past them to the next checkpoint and only the RAY fights are ranked. By the time Raiden lands in Abkhazia, the odds manage to even up a little, since you can now play with the new skills and weapons that Raiden's new body gets. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: In Pakistan, one codec conversation with Kevin has Raiden state that he should be fine since none of Desperado's standard cyborgs or UGs are a threat and the Winds of Destruction are dead. Turns out, the enemy does have an ace up their sleeves after all. Conveniently, a similar codec with Boris has him and Raiden ponder who could be at the base to lead Operation Tecumseh, specifically ruling out Senator Armstrong because he's not a combatant, assuming a cyborg with specialized combat enhancements like Sundowner would be there instead. They were wrong on all three accounts: there is no cyborg, Armstrong has physically hardening nanomachines in him and is very much a fighter, and he is at the base leading the operation. | |

The Worf Effect | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Armstrong hands Sam his greatest defeat. Adds emphasis to his Take Up My Sword schtick with Raiden, as explains why Sam needs to be defeated; only someone better than Sam can stop Armstrong. It also explains why for as one-sided the fight between Raiden and Armstrong was initially, he began to make actual effort the moment Blade Wolf arrived, because he already knows that Sam's sword is capable of cutting him. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: True to the series' form, there's a huge amount of information about pretty much every major plot point in the game, as well as character background material, hidden away in codec calls. Doktor is perhaps the most prominent example, harbouring a massive amount of backstory regarding the history of in-universe cyborg science. | |

Power-Up Letdown | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_18683fc2 | comment |
Power Up Letdown: The blonde wig, which turns each and every one of your attacks into an Armor-Piercing Attack, almost like you're permanently in Ripper Mode. It's the last wig you can buy, requiring you to get all 30 left arms throughout the game to be able to purchase. However, by then, you should have gotten the blue wig, which only requires 20 left arms and instead provides you infinite fuel cell energy - in other words, infinite Ripper Mode and Blade Mode. Not only that, but the blonde wig tends to ruin your score, since you tend to miss out on combo and Zandatsu bonuses if you end up chopping down everyone too quickly. The blue wig doesn't provide this problem, since you can freely turn Ripper Mode on and off depending on if you want to rack up points or just kill an enemy quickly. | |

Older Is Better | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_192ba729 | comment |
Older Is Better: The higher the quality of a sword, the more effective it is as a HF Blade. This makes Sam's HF Blade, which was made using a centuries old katana expertly crafted by the master swordsmith Muramasa note whose name was mispelled into "Murasama" by one of Sam's ancestors, a much more effective weapon than Raiden's mass-produced, rivet-covered default sword. | |

Gone Horribly Right: When fighting Armstrong, Sam watches his movements and when he activates the shield nanomachines to evaluate when to activate his quick draw. He manages to slice Armstrong's arm off with it, only for Armstrong to activate his nanomachines to make the pointed end of his stump into a sword. Armstrong then stabs through the shoulder of Sam's sword arm, completely severing it. | |

Human Resources: Raiden heals by cutting up cyborgs and tearing out their artificial spines, which are filled with regenerative fluids. Raiden's customized cyborg body is deliberately missing that particular component in order to maximize combat efficiency, and because doing it Raiden's way is an infinitely quicker way to heal compared to using the repair units their intended way. | |

Necessary Drawback | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_1c0d4155 | comment |
Necessary Drawback: Blade Wolf and other UGs use a neuro-matrix for a brain rather than a Von Neumann bit-processor that most computers use. This means they can learn from mistakes, react to various situations using "fuzzy logic" and even, in Wolf's case, attain sentience, but this has drawbacks: each brain must be "grown" and "trained" rather than programmed and the training can't be downloaded instantly to another robot. Blade Wolf also says that this means his memory can be "fuzzy" like a human's, so he doesn't memorize faces the way a regular computer might and can't talk directly to other computers because of a difference in protocols. | |

Villain Song | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_1ccad9a3 | comment |
Villain Song: Every boss fight has lyrics describing themselves. "Rules of Nature" - As the song played for several of the Unmanned Gears' fights, this is about how they, as 'predators' of past battlefields, are now on their last legs against the smaller, but faster, stronger and more effective cyborgs of the current times. "I'm My Own Master Now" - LQ-84i's is about how he is forced to battle, and yearns for freedom. "A Stranger I Remain" - Mistral's is about she feels like a wanderer whose real home is the battlefield. "The Stains of Time" - Monsoon's talks about a symbolic storm (AKA war) that washes away all your reasons for fighting and hope for a peaceful life until only hate remains. "Red Sun" - Sundowner's talks about how he and the Earth itself are both being slowly corrupted by technology as nature recedes from the destruction his wars unleash, and how in a stroke of slight irony it returns in the form of vultures, that come to pick at the rotting corpses left behind in the wasteland he made. "The Only Thing I Know For Real" - Sam's talks about not knowing any reason to draw his sword other than to shed blood, only to start to remember why he fights just as it's too late and he is staring death in the face. "Hot Wind Blowing" - Khamsin's theme is about the conflict between his beliefs in freedom and the harsh realities of being just another soldier in an army doing awful things for that same freedom, ultimately discarding his own moral compass and introspection in favor of blind obedience and dogmatic belief that he's doing what's right in the end. "Collective Consciousness" - Senator Armstrong's theme nihilistically tells the unenlightened masses to give up free will forever and let their country control their souls. As it turns out, Armstrong isn't actually a big fan of this sort of thing. "It Has To Be This Way" - Armstrong's second theme talks about how he and Raiden aren't so different, and also mentions his plan to burn America to the ground and rebuild it to suit his Social Darwinist ideals: where each person is allowed to fight, kill, and die for their own beliefs and interests rather than their country's as in the above song. | |

Papa Wolf: Having become a father, and given a chance to give an innocent boy the love and happy childhood that he never had, Raiden has sworn that no child will ever be made to endure what Solidus put him through. Hence, it is a bad idea to abuse, harm, kill and exploit children and gloat about it in Raiden's face. The black-hearted mercenary-doctor in Chapter 2 found out the hard way. | |

Bloodier and Gorier: Gameplay focuses on cutting enemies into hundreds of bloody bits, instead of sneaking around and shooting as in the Solid games. Subverted with the Japanese version of the game, as all the blood in the game is changed from red to white, albeit as a deliberate artistic decision rather than censorship (given that Sam bleeds regular old red blood even in that version). | |

Last Lousy Point: There is a single cyborg left arm that cannot be found in natural gameplay. For no reason, destroying two of the electrical panels without triggering an alert near the beginning of R-004 spawns in a heavily armed cyborg on the corner of the floor who just stands there, and his arm carries patriot data. There is absolutely no indication that any of this is possible or that that's where an arm would be. | |

After Raiden defeats Monsoon by decapitating him Raiden throws his words back at him, "Don't be ashamed. It's only nature running its course." Needless to say, this was very much deserved. | |

Changing of the Guard: From Snake to Raiden. From a thematic standpoint, Snake left the world behind at just the right time, as warfare and soldiers within it were evolving to a point that even his enhanced genetics could no longer handle. By passing on the mantle to Raiden, he leaves behind a successor who stands a chance in the new world. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The first demo of Metal Gear Rising was included in the Zone of the Enders: HD Collection, a reference to the first demo for Raiden's previous game Metal Gear Solid 2 being included in the original release of the first Zone of the Enders. As with all Metal Gear games, the cardboard box makes an appearance as a wearable item. The same goes for the wigs from MGS2 that activate cheat effects, which can be found by cutting off enough officer arms. Monsoon's monologue before his first boss fight is a Controllable Helplessness section stuck in first person with Raiden having recovered from a serious beating, just like Liquid's speech to Snake near the end of Metal Gear Solid. Boris's first words in person in Revengeance are "Kept you waiting, huh?", a reference to Snake's introductory line in MGS2 and the Subspace Emissary. Raiden does the kneeling pose after he's dropped off by the plane. There is an unlockable tuxedo outfit, much like in the previous games, as well as sunglasses. Each one of the "Men in Boxes" found unlocks a collectible statue, each being a cyborg mook replicating a famous Metal Gear pose with a box. In order, they are: Gray Fox (MGS1); Raiden (MGS2); EVA (MGS3); Old Snake (MGS4); and Raiden (MGSR). The icon used for each MIB statue on the collection screen is also modeled after the logo used for the "Metal Gear 25th Anniversary" event. Calling Boris during the fight with Metal Gear EXCELSUS will prompt Raiden to deliver the classic Parrot Exposition. If you call Courtney on Codec in chapter 2, you can have a conversation with her on nopales, a cactus leaf that goes well with Mexican food. After she describes it, Raiden goes out of his way to ask "How does it taste?", then dismisses the thought since it's unlikely he'd need to catch food in the sewers anyway with his cybernetics keeping him going. Raiden is now two for two in having a final boss fight in melee with a super-powered politician on top of a ruined Metal Gear. Blade Mode is, by default, controlled with the right analog stick, same as when Raiden first acquired an HF blade at the end of MGS2. | |

Easter Egg | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: In the public demo's VR training tutorial, you can create a path up onto the wall surrounding the VR space using blade mode and discover a wearable cardboard box there. Cutting the last cardboard hostage in the public demo's VR training tutorial reduces her to an underwear and bra instead of slashing her in half. The public demo VR training; if you cut up all the watermelons in a certain order, a giant watermelon will float down from the heavens for you to cut up. If you input the Konami Code at the title screen, Raiden will say the name of the game and the Very Hard and Revengeance difficulties are unlocked immediately, rather than requiring the player to beat the game once. Doubles as a Shout-Out to Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, and Bayonetta. In the PC version this also unlocks Jetstream, Blade Wolf, the VR missions, and all codecs and cutscenes. In various areas, you can cut open a cardboard box to find a guard hiding in it. The first time you do this, Kevin wonders aloud "... where'd he learn that from?" Renders of them can also be seen in the list of unlockables, and all of them are imitating a pose from some piece of artwork for a prior Metal Gear game. In one of the VR Missions, if you don't attack the last wave of dwarf gekkos, they will form the letter "P." | |

Artifact Title: There's an optional codec call with Boris during the penultimate boss fight where the two discuss how the term "Metal Gear" has evolved since it was introduced some 50-odd years ago, and whether Metal Gear Excelsus counts as one by the most common definition, that being a nuclear-equipped walking tank. Boris concludes that the name is twofold: one, it's Product Placement (made by ArmsTech, whose most famous creation in-series was Metal Gear REX), and two, it's to differentiate it from Unmanned Gears, since it's noticeably larger and has a human pilot on-board. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Doktor comments that Metal Gears are cool, but also impractical as nuclear payload weapons. In his estimation, this is what led to development of smaller Unmanned Gears and cyborgs designed for regular warfare. Raiden's assessment of Sundowner's scissor blades. Not that it stops him from picking them up and ripping up whatever he likes with them. He's proven right in gameplay: while they have some monstrous damage potential and can tear armor and bodies apart like you won't believe, it's very slow to swing and leaves Raiden vulnerable in between moves. While it can be charged to deal even more damage, that still leaves him wide open to be interrupted. The Fox Blade pre-order bonus blade is the sword of Gray Fox, and at full strength can rip the crap out of anything sans bosses in one to two hits. On the other hand, it's not very effective for going for S ranks, and it has a short blade mode time. Out of curiosity, Raiden asks Voigt if he could recover energy from civilian cyborgs. Voigt notes that this wouldn't be possible since they wouldn't have the part Raiden needs in the first place, since they wouldn't need something that powerful when they have electric batteries for a normal life. The spaceship Sunny helped develop is capable of transporting someone from the USA to the likes of Pakistan in about half an hour, but Raiden finds out firsthand through a very uncomfortable flight that it wasn't directly meant for passengers and is planned to be a cargo ship for the International Space Station. | |

Glass Cannon | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_2f253c94 | comment |
Glass Cannon: Sam's moveset makes him one of these. He has awesome offensive moves and great mobility, as well as a counterattack that lets him instantly open most enemies up for finishers. However, his parry timing is much stricter than Raiden's and lacks stealthy options. The latter can be explained by the fact he is a samurai, not a ninja like Raiden. | |

Theme Music Power-Up | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_2f50c5bf | comment |
Theme Music Power-Up: The boss themes play with this trope in an unique way. For most of the fight, their themes are instrumental, but when the boss' life lowers to a certain point, vocals kick in just so you know it is on. Some bosses utilize this in a different way; Sundowner's vocals don't kick in unless you slice off all of his shields. Sam's music starts out with vocals, but turns to instrumental should you cause him to drop his sword. And Armstrong's vocals stop if he causes Raiden to drop Muramasa. | |

invokedMimesis was a very important theme in Metal Gear Solid 2, and returns here: it's questioned how much worth Raiden had if he didn't have any control over his own destiny, as his ideals and ideas were governed by others, thus questioning the accuracy of "free will." | |

Game-Breaking Bug: Metal Gear EXCELSUS's fight has significant scripting that changes the arena and the boss's model and behavior at the end of each phase, but this is camouflaged by the cutscenes of Raiden chopping off its limbs. Since the Bloodlust weapon deals enough raw damage to skip phases on the spot, using them in this fight can crash the game. | |

Rule of Cool: In the Metal Gear RAY Boss Battle, Raiden blocks a strike from the Humongous Mecha, throws the entire thing into the air, and then runs up along its arm swinging his sword until he's sliced that entire section to pieces. Platinum Games claims they used the archaic word "Revengeance" for the subtitle because it sounded cooler. | |

Though the remote turns out to be a MockGuffin anyway; after Blade Wolf has disposed of Khamsin for Mistral, she re-enables the range limiter using an augmented-reality display. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: When Raiden calls his enemies "walking vending machines," Kevin makes a joke about blood and calls Raiden "Dracula." His English voice actor, Phil LaMarr, voiced Vamp in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Jim Ward plays an Eastern European scientist who specializes in robotics. Wouldn't be the first time this series he's done that. During his battle against Raiden, Armstrong makes a Motive Rant about America being rotten at its roots and wanting to start over. Likewise, Andrew Ryan in Bioshock wishes to do the same with Rapture with a system where only the strong and successful survive. Armstrong's seiyuu Unshou Ishizuka voices Andrew Ryan in the Japanese dub. | |

Foregone Conclusion: Being prequels to the main plot, both packs qualify. Jetstream ends with Sam laughing along with Armstrong, implying that Sam has lost the will to fight for his ideals. Soon, after he begins fighting for World Marshal and Armstrong's plans. Blade Wolf ends with Mistral revealing she was not going to give Blade Wolf freedom, and she forces Blade Wolf to continue fighting for Desperado and by extension, her. Fortunately, Blade Wolf does soon gain freedom in the events of the main game. | |

| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_3dd3951e | comment |
Cowboy Cop: Deconstructed. As the game progresses, Raiden abandons legal and social institutions, considering them deadweight in his desire to bring "justice." Rather than applaud his actions, the game calls him out on this attitude, showing that Raiden is resorting to a "Might Makes Right" philosophy, causing untold damage because of personal conviction, making him no better than the villains. Ultimately, Armstrong calls him his successor based on the willingness to do whatever is necessary, and the game remains troublingly silent, questioning whether Raiden's victories were worth the personal sacrifices, as he becomes more and more of an anti-hero by sacrificing his body (becoming a creepy cyborg), his mind (accepting Jack the Ripper again just to finish the mission), and finally his principles ("This isn't my sword.") | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Raiden's actions in Denver lead to him being branded a criminal, and even though he kills the Big Bad, he admits that his actions aren't going to solve the problems that had been occurring in the game. Slicing apart a vehicle flying towards Raiden at high speeds at the last split second doesn't mean the pieces will always slow down enough to stop being dangerous. Taking the Patriots out of the picture for good hasn't solved all the ills of the world but merely started just another chapter in human history. For starters, the war economy couldn't simply stop cold and has merely slowed, and the media filters the Patriots put in place are still being used by governments for their own ends. While the standard pain inhibitors for cyborgs mean that they can usually tank a sword to the gut or something, it instead replaces the pain feeling with an indescribable one according to Raiden which at least let him know he was being hurt. Voigt notes that if the inhibitors blocked everything, this would be dangerous in the long run as a cyborg could go critical without even noticing. Even though Voigt is a strong advocate for cyborgs, he himself hasn't come under the procedure due to not only is there currently nothing seriously wrong with his body, he'd essentially be put in the hands of someone who might botch the procedure since cyborg enhancements had only gone through widespread use recently, so he reasonably doesn't trust any fellow colleagues yet. He does plan to wait a couple of years until the technology and overall skill of others improves and if his body does run into a problem. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Raiden kills the leader of the Winds of Destruction and sees to it the children kidnapped by the group have a chance at a normal life. However, Raiden is now fighting a new war against World Marshal, echoing the words of Snake and Big Boss that one can never truly escape the battlefield. Not to mention that the collapse of the Patriots hasn't led to the death of Liquid's war economy, especially with people like Armstrong around. | |

Flunky Boss | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_40e2ac3f | comment |
Flunky Boss: Many bosses will summon weaker enemies as backup during different phases of the battle. Raiden points out that this is to his advantage, since he can chop up the flunkies to instantly heal himself. Blade Wolf summons backup soldiers and a Gekko while he takes a break (saying, "Only a fool fights alone!"). Mistral is completely surrounded by Dwarf Gekkos at all times, so she can steal their arms to rebuild her arm-lance while the rest pin you down and occasionally throw what remains of them as explosive projectiles. Monsoon periodically throws most of World Marshal's hardware at you (not necessarily 'enemies', but filling the same niche). Sundowner has a bunch of attack helicopters taking potshots at you and he summons backup soldiers in his second stage. Armstrong also summons upgraded Gekkos during the Metal Gear battle, but since they rarely last longer than 10 seconds due to the twin Wave Motion Guns he's constantly sweeping the arena with, they also essentially function as mobile health packs for Raiden, assuming he makes it to their sparking torsos before they blow up on their own and avoids getting a face full of plasma in the process. | |

Establishing Series Moment | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_41c08e5 | comment |
Establishing Series Moment: You fight your very first boss roughly ten minutes into the first mission. Said boss is a Metal Gear with sword-arms, a beam-cannon for a head, and so many rockets you will use them as platforms to get to it. In relation to the Metal Gear franchise as whole, Raiden's first boss fight is against a Metal Gear RAY, a single one of which was a late-game ordeal to fight with just an RPG in Sons of Liberty, much less an entire horde of them. Here Raiden is tossing one over his shoulder and slashing it into bits, establishing how far he has come from that game and how much more powerful this game's new villains are. | |

Actionized Sequel: Boris explicitly says early on that this time around, it's not an infiltration mission. Some stealth elements remain, however, such as the opportunity for stealth kills and the series' trademark cardboard box trick. In general, stealth allows you to get through individual sections without fighting a swarm of enemies that spawn if you raise the alarm, and stealth-kills can take out even very tough enemies in a single hit, which is normally impossible otherwise. | |

Dub Personality Change | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_460e732 | comment |
Dub Personality Change: A slight but noticeable one with Armstrong. While his definition of what constitutes a "weak" person is left vague in the English dub, it's spelled out much more explicitly in the Japanese script. Among those he considers weak are "herbivoresnote In Japan, "herbivore" refers to men who have no interest in getting married or having children rather than vegetarians, although it still plays on the idea that Real Men Eat Meat as the term is often used in a negative and emasculating light and metrosexuals", making his Japanese version a bit of a Politically Incorrect Villain, which consequently makes his Social Darwinist agenda more overtly discriminatory. | |

If well-upgraded, it serves as a viable replacement for the FOX Blade for players who lack it and can make mince meat of the Final Boss. | |

Lampshaded when the first pedestrians who see him spot him straight away and question if he's part of a mariachi band. A Codec convo with Courtney afterward has her note that the sombrero probably wouldn't have worked anyway, as locals favor more low-key headgear, with sombreros really only being worn by mariachi; Raiden's choice of hats outed him as a tourist from the start. | |

Ace Custom: Each of the Winds of Destruction have customised Cyborg bodies with unique gimmicks, letting them fight Raiden far more effectively than the run-of-the-mill Desperado 'borgs. The Metal Gear RAY in the prologue is based on the original model, with upgrades like a plasma cannon, cyborg musclefibre instead of the original artificial muscles, and a superheated BFS stored in one wing. It's somewhat downplayed in that it's not piloted by an exceptional user. | |

| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Just before they fight, Sam refuses to give Raiden a speech on his motivations, noting that they've both heard enough about ideals. Just about every other single Metal Gear boss has gone on a Motive Rant regarding their ideals, so this could easily be applied to the player as well as Raiden and Sam. At one point, when discussing Metal Gear EXCELSUS, Raiden notes that it lacks most of the features that would traditionally define a Metal Gear (ie. the ability to launch nuclear weapons.) His support's response is that it was probably called a Metal Gear for marketing reasons, as doing so would make it sell better - mirroring the way this game itself doesn't quite play like a traditional Metal Gear but still uses the name, presumably for marketing reasons. | |

Rated M for Manly | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_4da6ac | comment |
Rated M for Manly: It's the goriest, most intense, most over-the-top game in the Metal Gear series so far. The mellow and philosophical tone found in the main Metal Gear games is very downplayed here, being secondary to all the action. | |

Mythical Motifs | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_4e11940e | comment |
Mythical Motifs: Subtle, but there. Raiden, associated with lightning, is fighting villains named after winds. In essence, "Raijin" and "Fujin." Let it be known that while Raiden's explanation of his "Mr. Lightning Bolt" moniker to Kevin has him translate rai as "lightning" and den as "electric", Raiden is also another name for Raijin. | |

Wham Shot | |

Wham Shot: In the Japanese version, when Raiden kills Jetstream Sam, he surprisingly bleeds red instead of white, serving as a reveal that he wasn't the same as the Winds of Destruction even on a physical level. The English version has Raiden explain it outright due to the cyborgs bleeding red instead of white. | |

Interspecies Friendship | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_4f4bbeff | comment |
Interspecies Friendship: There are shades of this between Raiden and Blade Wolf, a cybernetic human and a robot dog. Blade Wolf shows minor degrees of hostility, or at least reserved annoyance, at some of Raiden's behaviors but nevertheless is intensely loyal to Raiden. They spend a lot of the game debating philosophy, and by the end of the game Blade Wolf acknowledges the bond that he and Raiden have formed. In the epilogue, Blade Wolf is shown living at Solis with Sunny. Judging by their earlier interaction, it's safe to say they're friends as well. | |

The penultimate boss is Metal Gear EXCELSUS, both of which have oddly familiar projectile attacks and massive blades. You even defeat them by throwing them through the air by their blade arms after catching them in a Bare-Handed Blade Block. | |

Happy Ending Override | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_53c5f30e | comment |
Happy Ending Override: At the end of MGS4, Raiden retired from battle to settle down with his wife Rosemary and their son John. In this game, he has already come out of retirement to provide for his family since being a cyborg meant he couldn't take a conventional job and signed up with a security firm to make use of his fighting prowess. On a broader level, the ending of MGS4 saw the elimination of the Patriots, which despite a Surprisingly Realistic Outcome from Drebin, was framed as a new beginning for humanity to start fresh without the baggage of the past and Big Brother Is Watching to guide them in the wrong direction. Come Metal Gear Rising, and the world is still embroiled in wars under the influence of smaller scale PMC conglomerates, with new cyborg technology taking the place of the SOP system to make up the difference. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: The moral code of samurai varied wildly over the social class's centuries of history, making Raiden's assertion that Japanese military nobility lived by a code of deterrence a rather extreme over-generalization. Raiden's philosophy is more reminiscent of the Japanese Buddhist "issatsu tasho" (One life for a thousand) philosophy or Munenori Yagyu's martial philosophy of "katsujin-ken" (Sword that gives life). Which is fine anyway, as a codec call will reveal that Raiden does follow the teachings of katsujin-ken. In the same call he cites George Herbert as the source of the quote he told N'Mani, noting that Yagyu and Herbert lived at around the same time with the same ideas. | |

Walking Tank | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_56da86fe | comment |
Walking Tank: The "Grad" is more of this than the Gekko is. It's covered in heavy, reactive armor plating, and while it does have the capability to smack people around in close combat it primarily attacks using conventional weapons like machine guns and rockets, whereas the Gekko has the capability to shoot people but almost universally prefers to kick most of its targets to death. The Grad can also transform into a roller mode to act like a more conventional tank. Another thing to note about the Grad is that it essentially is the closest thing (even moreso than the Gekko, as above) to Granin's original definition as to what a Metal Gear would be, a tank with legs linking infantry and artillery. | |

Charged Attack | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_589e54d3 | comment |
Charged Attack: Sam's playstyle is more or less based around this: using charged quickdraw slashes is his main way of dealing damage, and each of them has different properties depending on what point of his normal combo you use it if you charge it fully: by default, it's a multihit dashing attack with some degree of vertical homing if used in midair, a Launcher Move if used after the first light attack, a Spin Attack if used after the second light attack and a Razor Wind projectile if used after the third light attack or during a Ninja Run. Unlike Raiden, he can also use his quickdraw slash during Blade Mode, which allows him to Zandatsu enemies from much farther away than Raiden, but he can't change the angle of the slash, only where he aims it. | |

Fragile Speedster: Unlike Raiden, whose parry lasts long enough that he can parry early without much punishment, Sam's parries last for only a few moments and when enemies are enraged he can't afford to keep parrying them constantly. However, he also has far greater movement ability than Raiden, with a double jump and air dash, alongside his charged attacks sending him flying forward quite a bit, encouraging the player to keep away until the enemy is open to attack, then rush them down. | |

Vicious Cycle: Several codec conversations are about how suffering and violence are often part of a seemingly endless cycle; abused kids grow up to abuse their own children because they don't know anything else, Child Soldiers kill the parents of other kids who become child soldiers in retaliation, etc. Much mention is made of how the memes of society (the original definition, not the popular one), once widespread, are almost impossible to get rid of and can shape a civilisation for generations. | |

Back Stab | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_5a08d0ae | comment |
Back Stab: Known as the "Ninja Kill". You can inflict a One-Hit Kill on enemies by sneaking up on them, either from behind (which will have Raiden stab them literally In the Back) or from above (which has Raiden impale the opponent, pinning them to the floor with his sword). | |

Boss Rush | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_5a5de5ca | comment |
Boss Rush: The final three chapters involve fighting six bosses with only a few enemy encounters in between: you fight robot duplicates of Mistral and Monsoon, then you fight Sundowner, then Jetstream Sam, then Metal Gear Excelsus, and finally defeat Senator Armstrong. The PC version adds the option to fight all the bosses one after the other without going through their stages. | |

Transhuman | |

Transhuman: Cyborgs are abound in this game, every enemy being either a cyborg PMC, a UG, Sam or Armstrong, who are completely human aside from their arm and heart respectively. Raiden's new look accentuates the mechanical aspect, as he is now more machine than he is man. Desperado's plan is to make an army of child soldier cyborgs by extracting their brains and putting them in VR training not unlike the training Raiden went throught. Doktor also discusses the uses of cybernetic enhancements outside of military operations, using George as an example of how cybernetics could save lives and enhance their capabilities, both physically and mentally. | |

Eyepatch of Power | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_5c5d0032 | comment |
Eyepatch of Power: Raiden's AR visor in the prologue is a retractable cybernetic eyepatch over his left eye. After he loses that eye in the process of the level, he starts using a black piece of cloth for an eyepatch, acting as a second eye since it's got millions of tiny photoreceptors on it and can act as a compound eye; Doktor didn't have time to whip up another cybernetic eye for Raiden before the mission, so he improvised. So, Raiden has all the coolness benefits of an eyepatch and none of the realistic disadvantages, even mentioning he thinks his vision is better than before with it. | |

You Look Familiar: The designs for the Mastiff enemies (the hulking UGs with the cannon attached to their right arm) were reused from concept artwork from Guns of the Patriots that was originally meant to be the designs for one of the B&B Corps members. Sam, The Rival to Raiden, resembles Vamp. The developers state that this is purely a coincidence, and that Sam is not related in any way to Vamp. | |

Central Theme | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: This game is a love letter to the themes of nearly all MGS games, so there are a few of them that weave together. The driving conflict behind Raiden's character development is the question of when it's OK to ignore rules in the pursuit of justice. Raiden does this through his Jack the Ripper persona, and explores the issue similarly to Big Boss in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. invokedMimesis was a very important theme in Metal Gear Solid 2, and returns here: it's questioned how much worth Raiden had if he didn't have any control over his own destiny, as his ideals and ideas were governed by others, thus questioning the accuracy of "free will." The core theme at the heart of the story is whether or not the strong should use their strength to protect those weaker than themselves, or to ruthlessly exploit their power for their own gain, or as Armstrong puts it, "Purge the Weak." | |

Said UG has a new attack that knocks you up in the air, slams you, and stomps on your lifeless body to make sure you stay dead. (The combo itself takes off 30% health each hit.) | |

Even taunting enemies as Sam, which in Raiden's case forces them to attack, instead stacks on speed and either block damage or non-counter attacks. | |

Stealth-Based Mission | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_6638c7f7 | comment |
Stealth-Based Mission: Blade Wolf has more overall emphasis on stealth than other characters: he can do his Back Stab from farther away than Raiden and can do it to any enemy in his story (including Khamsin). This even extends to enemies during alerts if they're unaware of him or if he blinds them with an RP grenade. As well, stealthy players can easily get greater score totals than even the main game if they haven't alerted any enemies and use stealth kills exclusively (or not kill anyone at all, if possible). In essence, just going berserker may be the easier route, but stealth is harder and more rewarding. | |

Mook Horror Show: Jetstream Sam forces Raiden to realize that the cyborgs whom the hero had been killing throughout the entire game were actually regular men who agreed to become soldiers due to economic pressure. In the following cutscene, Raiden hears the thoughts of his opponents and learns that, from their point of view, he is a monster. | |

Particularly, Raiden can use use his "standard cyborg" body (the one that gets destroyed by Sam during the prologue) after clearing the final mission once on Hard or above, as well as a suit when the player clears the prologue on Very Hard. His wigs can also be changed as well. | |

Uncanny Valley: Raiden explains in a codec that one of the reasons adjusting to civilian life as a cyborg was so hard was because artificial skin can fool people from a distance, but it's obviously fake up close. Indeed all the cyborg characters look "off" compared to the human characters, which is also a big hint about Jetstream Sam, as he looks much more human. | |

Swipe Your Blade Off: After a stealth kill from behind ends, Raiden dramatically swings his blade down to shake the blood off. He'll also do to remove Sam's spilled blood from Sam's fallen sword after killing him, before giving the blade to Wolf. He'll also wipe his blade across his arm, as seen after completing the first half of the RAY boss battle. Note, however, that he doesn't do this in Ripper Mode, hinting to his somewhat Ax-Crazy mindset at that point in the game. | |

"Everybody Laughs" Ending | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_6eb04f1 | comment |
"Everybody Laughs" Ending: A much darker example than usual in the Jetstream ending. Armstrong offers Sam a handshake to congratulate him on his new job at Desperado... except that in order for Sam to take the handshake, he'd need the use of his right arm, which Armstrong just stabbed through. As Sam looks from Armstrong's outstretched hand to his useless sword arm, the fact that Sam couldn't accept the handshake even if he wanted to is enough to get him laughing at the sheer hopelessness of his situation, and Armstrong soon joins in. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Some of the Data Storages can be extremely tricky to find: one of them requires you to cut down a passing Slider; and another is dropped by the very last enemy on an exploding elevator that's basically impossible to escape once you get it. You can walk while in Blade Mode by pressing the left stick and then tilting it in the desired direction. The game does not inform you of that at any point. Another possible example is during the final phase of the final boss fight: at certain points during the battle, the Senator's back will glow green, there will be tiny green and bright particles all over the place, and he can heal all the way back to full health if this isn't stopped. The only way to abort this process is to use Blade Mode on his back to target a weak spot. | |

Menacing Stroll: If you don't attack immediately in the first boss fight against Sam, he will slowly and casually approach you with his sword on his shoulder. After Raiden's arm is chopped off, Sam will casually walk behind you if you attempt to limp away from him. Thankfully, he doesn't take advantage of this. After going into his "invincible" stage, Monsoon will approach you in this manner until he's within attack range. Additionally, in the first two stages of the Senator Armstrong battle, he will approach in the same manner. | |

Too Awesome to Use: 3D Photo Frames, the equivalent of magazines in other MGS games. In a game with simplified stealth mechanics and enemy patrolling AI, an item that, when thrown well, can completely distract entire crowds of mooks can be extremely overpowered. Thus to balance it, 3D Photo Frames are more rarely seen compared to other items, giving a tendency to hoard them. Wig A, which provides infinite sub-weapons, makes this a non-issue however. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: During the initial stages of the Final Boss's battle, Raiden calls him out on his Social Darwinist ways, angrily remarking that he has no idea what it's like to be weak, poor, and hungry, let alone having to fight and kill just to survive. In a twist, the villain throws it back at him by saying that Raiden himself managed to overcome those things, validating the villain's philosophy. | |

Bullying a Dragon | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_7eb73553 | comment |
Bullying a Dragon: The Winds of Destruction mock Raiden's past and reasons for fighting, not realizing he's actually a bigger sociopath than any of them. Subverted with Senator Armstrong. He spends the whole game seeming like an arrogant but ordinary human, and recklessly confronts Raiden even after the latter has plowed through his army like butter and trashed the latest Metal Gear. However, when he actually attacks Raiden, it turned out he had superpowers via nanomachines all along, and was actually stronger than Raiden the whole time. It's an uphill struggle for Raiden to win and he only manages it with help. | |

Chevalier vs. Rogue: Raiden actually is a ninja (a cyborg ninja, in fact). The Rival, Jetstream Sam, is essentially a cyborg samurai (he even fights with a High Frequency Blade made from his father's antique katana). Bonus points for the fact that Raiden started the game talking about his admiration for Bushido (the samurai's code of honour) but had started to abandon it and embrace traits of his Jack the Ripper persona by that point. | |

Mundane Fantastic: Before, Raiden got strange looks in public as a civilian due to being a cyborg. Nowadays, cyborgs, in general, are commonplace usually for medical reasons or if you are wealthy enough. While Denver has an established cyborg police force, cyborgs with regular jobs are noted such as a plumber, a skater who went viral and sports teams are already planning to ban cyborgs due to the potential unfair advantage. Voigt establishes a staffing firm for the brains Raiden recovered so they can have voluntary jobs such as construction and medical care. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Mostly subverted. While cutscenes don't touch on the ramifications of earlier missions, radioing Codec contacts will give you details on the political and economic fallout after you stopped the coup in Abkhazia, the futures of the children rescued in Mexico, and so on. Solid Snake's fate after MGS4 is not conclusively addressed. However, Raiden does talk about him with Kevin during one Codec conversation when Raiden references the philosophy that Snake passed onto him. Raiden refers to him in the present tense, while Kevin uses past tense, leaving Snake's fate open for Kojima to decide on later. | |

There Is No Kill Like Overkill | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_8b606a51 | comment |
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: It is entirely possible to use Blade Mode to cut someone/thing into over a hundred little bits. The game even counts how many parts you cut them into! This is how all the members of Winds of Destruction (except Sam) and pre-Heel–Face Turn Blade Wolf are dispatched. In-universe Metal Gear EXCELSUS was intended to be this, as a counter to the spreading use of cyborg soldiers. Any buildings in the way would be crushed, but it's so slow any civilians can simply get out of the way (as opposed to an airstrike, where they can't), leaving only enemy soldiers that will likely not have any weapons that can damage it. | |

Backtracking | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_8d2f6f03 | comment |
Backtracking: The story of both packs almost entirely consist of this (save for a few points): Jetstream receives a few new areas, but is effectively a replay of the main story's Desperado HQ level (albeit in a different ordering) with the sewers from the opening of the Mexico level standing in for a different set of sewers. The enemies have been changed up and made significantly more difficult, but the final boss is simply the main plot's Senator Armstrong with a couple of new moves. Blade Wolf is entirely made from doing part of Colorado again in AI, and then doing half of the main story's Abkhazia mission backwards. Again, the main difference lies in changing the minor enemies and hiking up the plot, but the pack also comes with a few DLC missions and a new boss battle at the end. | |

Plot Relevant Power Up: Raiden receives his new cyborg body after he was severely injured during his first confrontation with Sam. Of its numerous abilities, it allows him to steal electrolites from enemies after cutting them open with Blade Mode and grabbing their exposed spines. When Monsoon and Sam make Raiden realize that many of the cyborgs he's chopped up didn't have a choice to do it as he previously justified, he decides that they're right and that he does just love violence, allowing his Jack the Ripper persona to emerge, being the culmination of his repressed sadism. After the fight with Monsoon, Raiden will unlock Ripper Mode, in which he lets Jack play, making every slash of his weapons an Armor-Piercing Attack. | |

Nothing Personal | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_921cdca8 | comment |
Nothing Personal: There is a subtext of this sentiment between Senator Armstrong and Raiden during the final boss battle. Both of them are men that have shed a lot of blood to get to where they're at, and only want what they think is best for the future. The thing is that only the victor of their duel will be able to invoke their ideal future for the world, and so even if they are the same they must fight. It's very reminiscent of what Solid Snake said about his fight with Gray Fox: it was just two men, with no malice or absurd politics in the way, doing their jobs as soldiers fighting for what they believed in. | |

Karmic Injury | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_92c0c4a7 | comment |
Karmic Injury: The Jetstream DLC reveals that this is how Sam Rodrigues lost his arm, requiring him to get a cybernetic replacement. In their fight, Sam manages to slice off Senator Armstrong's arm. Thanks to his Nanomachines, Armstrong isn't deterred by this at all and simply uses the sharpened end of his stump to impale Sam's arm. To add insult to injury, Armstrong simply reattaches his own arm afterwards, an option Sam doesn't have. | |

In-universe Metal Gear EXCELSUS was intended to be this, as a counter to the spreading use of cyborg soldiers. Any buildings in the way would be crushed, but it's so slow any civilians can simply get out of the way (as opposed to an airstrike, where they can't), leaving only enemy soldiers that will likely not have any weapons that can damage it. | |

Men Are the Expendable Gender: Subverted in Sam's case. One of the many reasons Sam wants to take down Desperado and Armstrong is because they are taking advantage of innocent and vulnerable men, turning them into cyborgs, and having them fight and die for their own evil goals. He came in with this understanding, unlike Raiden who found out the hard way. | |

Pacifist Run | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_97ebe48b | comment |
Pacifist Run: Getting no kills in a fight gets you a point bonus. Using the Wooden Sword weapon allows for no kill runs. Ironically, the Fox Blade is the second best weapon for these; allowing you to easily lop off enemy legs and render them harmless. That said, the bonuses apply only for humanoid cyborgs - fully mechanical enemies and bosses have to be taken down the lethal way. | |

As You Know: Surprisingly lampshaded most times it comes up. Courtney explains the entire rise and fall of the SOP system of Metal Gear Solid 4 when Raiden asks her what she knows about it, despite Raiden having been personally involved with those events. Lampshaded as he's actually quizzing her about what she knows; he even mentions that there's more to the story beyond what the public was made aware of after the first call on the subject. In the cutscene at the start of the Abkhazia insertion mission, Raiden tries to say that he's been through the briefing material, only for Kevin to insist. All of the conversations with Doktor about the history and specifications of cyborg enhancement is full of this, for obvious reasons. Raiden actually does get annoyed at Doktor a few times for rambling about things he already knows. | |

Luck-Based Mission | |

The VR Missions can be insanely frustrating. Even the enemy's choice of attack or death animation can determine success. Mission 1 has a gold time limit of 40 seconds, the ability to insta-kill the Gekko depends on if it does a charge attack, and your time can easily be sabotaged should the last enemy decide to dramatically fall to his knees before exploding. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: Jetstream Sam takes a lot of time getting used to if you've played with Raiden a lot. Specifically his taunt makes enemies take much more damage but they also deal more and can damage you through parry making a full defensive stance less effective. His charge attacks do damage on par with the Counter Parry and it can be done freely to enemies but the lead in time means you can't do it while directly under attack unlike the Counter Parry. He also can't keep pressuring the enemy by endlessly mashing weak attack like Raiden can thanks to his infinite combo string and the ability to cover distance automatically between slashes if the enemy is too far since Sam only has a 4-hit chain and all of his charged attacks that follow it have their own unique properties that need to be learned to use them effectively. But once you've fully learned how to play him... | |

What Measure Is a Non-Human? | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_9c45b5a2 | comment |
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Raiden coldly dispatches dozens of Cyborg enemies, unnervingly saying they're nothing but "walking vending machines" who chose to become terrorists who were getting what they deserved. He still tries to do everything in his power to protect non-cyborg civilians. He is later called out on this mindset, however, when Sam claims that many of these cyborgs weren't really given much of a choice, but rather were exploited by the PMC system. Raiden laments to Blade Wolf that he thought these men had been given a fair choice, unlike Blade Wolf who had likewise been forced to fight. Earlier, Monsoon is able to give Raiden a Heroic BSoD by using the SOP system to force him to read the thoughts and feelings of the PMC cyborgs, who are all scared out of their minds and do NOT want to fight him, but see no choice. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Raiden gains power-up points from Doktor by cutting off the left forearms of enemy soldiers, a reference to Gray Fox cutting off one of Revolver Ocelot's forearms in Metal Gear Solid. DLC costumes include Gray Fox's exoskeleton from MGS1 and Raiden's original cyborg body from MGS4. Japanese DLC includes a wooden sword that contains the spirit of the late Solid Snake (which speaks when it strikes). Before his upgrade, Raiden's HUD is visually the same as the one in MGS4. Sunny has a blue rose hair clip on the left side of her hair, the same side Naomi had placed the rose on during their cooking lesson in MGS4. Her attire, a set of coveralls with the top pulled down, showing off a tank top, is identical (sans hat) to that of her mother Olga in the Tanker chapter of MGS2. Sunny's "this is a no smoking flight" is a nod to one of the mission briefings in MGS4. Sunny will comment "science always ends up being used for war", echoing Sokolov and Otacon's laments in MGS3 and MGS4 respectively. The eye that Raiden loses during the first chapter is his left eye, the same eye that Solidus lost during the Harrier Fight in MGS2. The final duel takes place on top of a ruined Metal Gear, like in MGS1, MGS2, and MGS4. Most of Raiden's combat moves are taken directly from cutscenes of MGS4. Defensive Offense, Raiden's dodge move, is essentially the same move he used to finish off Solidus in MGS2 — flanking the enemy and slashing them in one motion. The spaceflight company Sunny works for is called "Solis", which is spelled incredibly similarly to "Solidus". At the end of the cutscene preceding the second phase of Armstrong's boss fight, they both assume the exact same fighting stances that Old Snake and Liquid Ocelot assumed prior to their own fight atop Outer Haven in MGS4. | |

| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_9e8aa11e | comment |
Friendly Fireproof: Civilians cannot be carved up because they're innocent and helpless, and attacking a cat causes it to dodge the slash with a backflip. There are a few instances in the game where enemies are holding civilians hostage. The presence of this trope makes firing a rocket launcher right at the hostage an easy solution. | |

New Tech Is Not Cheap | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_a1c0cab7 | comment |
New Tech Is Not Cheap: A Codec conversation with Kevin reveals that cyborgification is really expensive (both initially and its maintenance costs) and that Desperado must have some kind of really involved payment plans for their recruits to have so many cyborgs in their ranks. This also explains why the Mistral and Monsoon body doubles weren't mass-produced. Another minor Codec conversation with Boris regards the new type of fragmentation grenades you find lying around in boxes: while they're vastly superior to normal grenades and work even on cyborgs, they're also 3 times as expensive. | |

Finishing Move: Blade Mode, where you momentarily slow down time and cut an enemy to shreds. Whether you weaken, stagger, or stealth kill an opponent, you are actively encouraged to deliver the final blow in this manner. This is required for Raiden to use his Zandatsu technique, allowing him to steal enemies' fuel cells and replenish his own supply in addition to health. Executions involve Raiden slamming down, vaulting under, or sending a stunned enemy flying while breaking the rest of their armor in the process, allowing for a mid-air Blade Mode kill. | |

Infinity +1 Sword | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_a5e02e9e | comment |
Infinity +1 Sword: The Fox Blade, which requires the Gray Fox DLC and 200,000BP to unlock. Not only does it carry a ~50% chance of ignoring armor and dismembering, but it can be upgraded to "Fox Blade+" for a further 100,000BP which extends the effect to all non-boss enemies. Once fully upgraded, it becomes so outrageously strong that most non-boss enemies will be cleaved in half with a single swing, even massive UGs like the GRAD. Without the DLC, the same effect can be achieved by collecting all 30 left arms to unlock the Armor Breaker sword (which works like the un-upgraded Fox Blade after 288,000BP of upgrades). Collecting the arms and beating the game on Hard or above similarly unlocks the Blade Mode Wig (50,000BP) which allows Raiden to instantly cut apart any non-boss enemy in Blade Mode without weakening their armor first. | |

MegaCorp | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_aa8dcc21 | comment |
MegaCorp: Raiden uses the term "mega corp" by name to describe World Marshal. While certainly nowhere near as powerful as Liquid and his five different PMCs during Metal Gear Solid 4, or the Patriots and their virtually limitless resources, they have enough power to fund a massive PMC business with cutting edge equipment and an army of cyborgs and unmanned gears. They even have enough political clout in the United States to utilize U.S military equipment, as Raiden encounters U.S Air Force drones at one point in the story and notes it should be illegal for a corporation to use U.S military equipment without permission; meaning that they have deep enough pockets to hire U.S personnel to scramble military equipment. On top of this, they control the police in Colorado, and Raiden suspects their media branches are helping to censor the media the old fashion way. | |

Moral Myopia | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_b42b7e7b | comment |
Moral Myopia: Dolzaev calls Raiden a murderer for killing Mistral, upon which Raiden calls him out for the hypocrisy of saying such while being involved with Desperado. Monsoon and Sam also try this on Raiden for killing men who have their emotions suppressed and didn't have a choice. Raiden also calls them out on this, because when they manipulate these men into being their pawns, and send them against him with the intent to kill, he can't do anything but fight back. | |

Take That! | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: Armstrong gives one to the Tea Party Movement in the leaked conversation found here. Armstrong's speech during the final boss battle takes a lot of cracks at the political and social climate of America, likening its weaknesses onto a disease that is rotting the country to its core. Stuff very reminiscent of what the AIs argued back in MGS2, in fact. It's marginally offset by the fact that his own vision for a revived America is comprised mostly of harsh, Social Darwinist rhetoric. One of the titles you can earn at the end of the game is "Mr. One Percent" for earning at least 300,000 BP, and even one of Raiden's codec calls plays on the "1% of wealthiest Americans" term. When Courtney recounts the tale of her joining up with Maverick after hearing Raiden's own story, she mentions the 1% as well, then speaks of how she was perturbed by the luxuries first-world countries enjoy at the expense of third-world ones. There are numerous statements about the government response to 9/11, the invasion of Iraq, the military-industrial-congressional complex, etc. And, all these things are implied to directly lead to acts such as murdering peacefully-elected African leaders, kidnapping children and ripping their brains out, forcing soldiers to become privately-owned cyborgs, etc. | |

Double-Edged Buff: Sam in the DLC can taunt his enemies, which causes them to glow red, attack more aggressively and makes their attacks do block damage along with making them uncounterable, but it also makes them more predictable and greatly lowers their defense, allowing Sam to do double damage to most enemies and cut weaker enraged enemies apart with his normal attacks. This also works splendidly against bosses as well. | |

Injured Vulnerability | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_b848b200 | comment |
Injured Vulnerability: Using blade mode (and Jack the Ripper mode if you've unlocked "him") allows one hit kills, but only against enemies without any armour. You have to attack armoured enemies a bit to break up their armour and make them vulnerable (or hit them with a Sneak Attack). Destroying the custom cyborgs' arm armor also makes them unable to counter your parry counters, making it much easier to land hits on them. | |

Whether you weaken, stagger, or stealth kill an opponent, you are actively encouraged to deliver the final blow in this manner.

Aerith and Bob: Sam is the only person who is almost never called by his codename (Jetstream), which can seem a little odd when fighting Raiden/"Jack the Ripper", or working with Sundowner, Mistral, and Monsoon. Confusing the issue more, "Jetstream" isn't actually his codename; it's just a nickname. According to the DLC, it's Minuano, which is something that is only ever mentioned offhandedly by two characters in the DLC intro cutscene. | |

Subverted with Senator Armstrong. He spends the whole game seeming like an arrogant but ordinary human, and recklessly confronts Raiden even after the latter has plowed through his army like butter and trashed the latest Metal Gear. However, when he actually attacks Raiden, it turned out he had superpowers via nanomachines all along, and was actually stronger than Raiden the whole time. It's an uphill struggle for Raiden to win and he only manages it with help. | |

In normal gameplay this is downplayed on Raiden's part, since while Raiden can jump fairly noticeably high, it's still not as giant as the leaps he makes in other scenes. | |

Irony | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: The leaders of Desperado that Raiden fights subscribe to the philosophy of an anarchic existence where the rule of law is established by who is the strongest. The strong are allowed to do whatever they want and the weak are preyed upon. Raiden believes in the idea that the strong, like himself, should protect the weak and that if the rule of law does have to be bent that it should be done so when it can benefit the weak. Ultimately Raiden being the hero of the story defeats them; the ironic thing being that by their own moral standards that means they were weak so they were preyed upon by Raiden, who now has the right to do whatever he desires. Sundowner's speech about war being natural, and how not every war in history is part of a conspiracy. The wars World Marshal and he are involved with, are part of Armstrong's conspiracy. Plus the fact that he must have known about the Patriots controlling the scenes behind post-Cold War history and the Sons of the Patriots system... | |

Hope Spot: At the end of Sam's campaign, he seems to have Armstrong beat after cutting off his hand, only for Armstrong to use the sharpened stub on his arm to sever Sam's right arm, before reattaching his own hand. Blade Wolf's campaign also has this during Mistral's mission to Abkhazia. Mistral disengages Wolf's Restraining Bolt as part of its mission, and Wolf takes the opportunity to make a mad dash for freedom; come the ending, it turns out to entirely be a Batman Gambit to get rid of Khamsin. | |

Yank the Dog's Chain: Right after Raiden slices off Metal Gear RAY's other arm, it collapses in a heap and looks beaten, and Raiden turns his back to the boss, about to do his victory pose where he sheaths his sword. But the background music doesn't give way to triumphant ending notes... then RAY springs to life once again and snaps its jaws around Raiden while his back is turned. On the first playthrough, a player may not expect this fake-out, but after RAY lost its arm and still came back to pick a fight with them a second time, they should expect that the only way to kill it off for good is to utterly destroy it, which leads to the final phase of the boss battle. | |

Cutscene Incompetence | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_c5e42cbd | comment |
Cutscene Incompetence: In Denver, Raiden starts doubting himself when fighting cops whose fears have been sealed by nanomachines so that they will do their work. Raiden listens to their thoughts and can barely stop them in the cutscene. However, in the gameplay, the player can execute Zandatsu on them so that Raiden will rip the cops' spine while Raiden yells "Dead on!" or "Bull's eye!" as usual. The player may even opt to not kill any of the enemies with some well-timed Blade Mode strikes or with the HF Wooden Sword. In the next cutscene and part of the gameplay, Raiden is exhausted and barely responds to the player's actions. Going for a No-Damage Run on the Final Boss means avoiding all his attacks, but in cutscenes Raiden still takes a beating and until the final part of the fight can barely stand. | |

Hot Blade: One of the modified RAY's weapons is a giant, red-hot HF blade that folds away into one of its arms when not in use. Blade Wolf uses throwing knives that are hot enough to melt steel. Implied with Sundowner's Bloodlust shears - they visibly glow red-orange with heat during when used in battle. File-0 also makes a point of showing the Gemini's (and later N'mani's) flesh and blood visibly sizzling when Sundowner tortures them using Bloodlust. | |

Self-Deprecation: While talking about Metal Gear EXCELSUS, it's pointed out that like RAY, it actually has nothing to do with nuclear weapons. Raiden guesses that because people are used to the term 'Metal Gear', putting the title on a technically-unrelated mech would make it sell better, a reference to the game itself having the title and being set in the same universe, although it forgoes the stealth aspect and encourages directly fighting your enemies. | |

Counter-Attack: "Perfect parries" from parrying attacks at just the right time will have Raiden instantly retaliate with a counterattack, which will stagger many enemies and leave them wide open. On Revengeance difficulty, this counter becomes a borderline One-Hit Kill against even bosses that fail to get out of the way in time. | |

Punch! Punch! Punch! Uh Oh...: The end result of the second phase of the Armstrong battle: if Raiden takes too much damage and is reduced to critical health or managed to avoid his attacks until he performs an unavoidable shockwave attack, he performs a last desperate Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs assault on him, while he just stands there and adjusts his glasses afterwards. Raiden tries it again but to no avail, at which point the battle ends. Unlike most other examples of this, Armstrong does take damage from the punches, but the grand total is barely above 10% of his health. | |

Killed Off for Real: While cyborgs' brains can survive for a while after their bodies are destroyed, allowing for them to be transplanted into a new body, Desperado cyborgs always explode after being fatally damaged. This includes the Winds of Destruction. Hence why Monsoon and Mistral's body doubles are piloted by a standard UG AI - their minds were lost or their braincases destroyed by Raiden before they could be retrieved. Jetstream Sam is definitely dead after his battle with Raiden, due to lacking any cybernetic enhancements that would let him survive. | |

Spiritual Antithesis | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_ce2969d8 | comment |
Spiritual Antithesis: To the rest of the Metal Gear series as a whole. Sneaking past enemies is indirectly penalized (fewer BPs rewarded, which means you get fewer upgrades) and there is a heavy emphasis on melee combat with almost no ranged combat whatsoever (the only guns you get to carry around with you are missile launchers). The narrative also runs against the normal trend of far-reaching conspiracies, as seen when Sundowner directly states that not everything is some orchestrated plan-within-a-plan and that, while the Patriots certainly controlled the War Economy, humans started it all on their own. | |

An Arm and a Leg: In Jetstream, Sam severs Armstrong's right arm, but because the cut was made at a harsh angle, Armstrong is able to use his nanomachines to harden the stump into a Blade Below the Shoulder and stab it through Sam's own right arm, wounding it enough to need the prosthetic he uses in the main game. Plus, once the battle ends, he picks up his arm and uses the nanomachines to reattach it. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: Kevin gets pretty frustrated with Raiden while trying to convince him he can't just go around breaking laws. Boris calls Raiden out for quitting Maverick while the latter goes on a manhunt for Desperado. When Raiden manages to get to a building, Raiden gives him his point by telling him he's only doing it because he doesn't want any more kids turning into Jack the Ripper. Boris nominally denounces him to prevent legal blowback against Maverick, and then decides to give him unofficial support. Cutting the clothes off civilians will cause most of your contacts to be (reasonably) upset with you. Turns out that they're not fans of a cyborg stripping the clothes off innocent people with a sword that can cleanly cut through solid steel. | |

Sympathy for the Devil: Both packs act as this. Sam turned from vigilante/rogue to Desperado as he was bested by Armstrong, who cut off his right arm. As such, he joined to both survive and to find an enemy better than himself (who would thus have a remote chance of killing Armstrong). Blade Wolf, whilst originally making a very sudden Heel–Face Turn, is revealed to be a lifelike AI who has always yearned for freedom; the reason he fights for Desperado is simply because refusing results in torture and death. | |

Hypocrite: Raiden points out that Sam and Monsoon's lecture on how the mooks he's been mowing down are people and Raiden's bad for killing them is ultimately ridiculous; they wouldn't be in the position to be slaughtered if Desperado, already knowing everything they've told him, weren't placing them in Raiden's path. | |

Achilles' Heel: Most of the bosses have weak spots that must be struck in order to deal significant damage. RAY and EXCELSUS have their legs and head; and Mistral, Monsoon, and Sundowner have parts that need to be struck in Blade Mode (parts of her weapon, his face, and the connecting struts of his shields, respectively). | |

The Unfettered: Armstrong believes that everyone in the United States should be like this. He thinks the end result would be a nation culled of its weaklings while the strong thrive. Raiden himself gradually becomes more and more unfettered as the story goes on, giving up body, mind, ideals, and weapon to win. It's why Armstrong is so confident that Raiden is a worthy successor to him. | |

Lightning Bruiser: Raiden can move very quickly with his "Ninja Run" ability, yet he can also flip 10 story tall Metal Gears with his bare hands. Mastiff UGs are very aggressive, can wall jump and charge at you, can knock Raiden around like a ragdoll, and they're very durable. They're the first enemies you face on Very Hard mode. All the bosses are faster and stronger than Raiden, but special mention goes to the Final Boss, who zooms around the battlefield at ludicrous speed and can wipe out most of Raiden's health in one hit. | |

Absurdly Sharp Blade: High-frequency blades can easily cut a tank or even a Metal Gear in half. Special mention goes to Jetstream's blade, which is sharper than all the others and glows red just to make sure you know it. Grey Fox's sword, a pre-order DLC (console) and a major weapon upgrade (PC), literally cuts helicopters in half in normal gameplay. These helicopters are first faced as a miniboss! LQ-84i's chainsaw cuts through an entire section of a building, and its throwing knives are hot enough to melt steel. | |

Mistral has a more exaggerated pair, resembling literal stilettos. | |

Mistral: Sniper Wolf note Both of them are only women in their respective group and enjoy the company of dogs. Monsoon: Psycho Mantis note Both of them use their power to attack using parts of the environment, as well as deliver a Breaking Speech to the main lead.

With armoured mooks, the same can be done with all four of their limbs — they'll still try to crawl towards you, but unlike the other mooks, who can still try to attack, the best they can do is bleed on you. | |

Gameplay and Story Integration: Sam has the ability to bounce back if he's sent flying into a wall in normal gameplay. He does basically this off a helicopter during the final Quick Time Event in his fight against Armstrong. He also sometimes does it while on the train in his very first battle against Raiden. | |

Humongous Mecha: Naturally for a Metal Gear title, there's many of them to go around. From the Mini-Mecha Gekkos and Mastiffs to the substantially larger Metal Gear RAY and Metal Gear EXCELSUS, there's plenty of massive robots for Raiden to slice apart. | |

Dirty Cop | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_eb251937 | comment |
Dirty Cop: As Raiden drives into Denver, a cop shoots at him, before telling him to pull over. After a high-speed chase, Raiden finally comes out with his hands up... and the cops just laugh at him and declare that he is threatening an officer, and therefore, lethal force is authorized. The cops are explicitly stated to be on World Marshal's payroll, and since World Marshal is both allied with Desperado and know that Raiden has discovered their brain smuggling scheme, they likely gave the cops orders to kill Raiden on sight. | |

Guns Are Worthless | |
| Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Video Game) / int_eb4ee9eb | comment |
Guns Are Worthless: Against cyborgs, small arms fire is a minor annoyance thanks to their ridiculously strong carbon nano-tube fiber bodies, although missiles, RPGs and high explosives can still harm them. Lampshaded when Raiden goes to Denver and a cyborg Dirty Cop says "deadly force is authorised" before putting away his handgun for a telescoping baton. Though this ends up averted in gameplay terms if you're trying to go for the highest rank on the highest difficulty. While gunfire won't stagger you or do substantial damage, they do make trying a No-Damage Run significantly harder. A stray bullet when you're not paying attention can force you to do the whole level all over again. | |

The Japanese version of the VR Missions also came with an exclusive weapon based on wooded sword that speaks with Solid Snake's voice when equipped. | |

Distracted by the Sexy: Distracting girly pictures return! You, the player, can also find centerfolds hidden around the game, covered by police tape that you can slice away to see the uncovered image. Players of the original series will know that they can leave dirty magazines around so enemies will get distracted by it for a while. Sadly, cyborg inhibitors prevent them from being interested in one, let alone you being unable to find usable ones anyway. 3D Photo Frames however, are mini projectors which display a holographic shapely female body which gets the attention of any average cyborg. This lets you either slip by unseen or open them up for a stealth kill. | |

Artistic License – Physics: Thanks to Rule of Cool, a 6 foot cyborg manages to block the blade of a 300 tonne titanium bi-pedal tank, before throwing it into the air, then jumping up to reach it again and cutting that blade into several car-sized chunks. Falling off a high ledge kills Raiden, but he survives two enormous falls by landing on his feet in cutscenes. Especially noticeable in one particular sequence where Raiden navigates several rooftops. Falling off any will result in a Game Over screen, but the sequence ends with Raiden falling through an elevator shaft, which runs the height of the building and goes further underground, with no damage to show for it. | |

Cutscene Power to the Max: Sundowner shows himself to be very agile in the first level as he makes off with N'mani, jumping about the city. In his boss fight, he's much slower, preferring to use explosive shield plates to defend. Falling from a building in-game results in instant death or at the very least a mission failed, but falling from a helicopter at near terminal velocity leaves a bit of a dent in the concrete and a very confused police force. | |

Pet the Dog | |

Pet the Dog: Aside from a literal example with Sunny and Blade Wolf, Sam is shown to be not such a bad guy when Raiden realizes if he'd wanted to stop him from reaching Pakistan, all he had to do was kill everyone at the Solis launch center, including Sunny. Instead, Sam just waited for Raiden on a road outside Denver so they could have a fair duel. Bonus points in that Blade Wolf is accepting a petting session from Sam's hand, when he refused to be treated like that with Raiden. Even said dog being petted agrees that Sam isn't a bad guy! One example that's easy to miss is in the "interactive" cutscene before the battle with Monsoon starts. Look at the mook to the right. At some point, he pets a cat. | |

Shown Their Work: At one point you can have a codec conversation with Kevin about Sam's Brazilian background, and every information is pretty spot on. Highlights are mentioning the big Japanese immigration and how that brought on Brazilian styles of certain martial arts (such as Sam's), and the spelling of his name being the Portuguese one: Samuel Rodrigues, as opposed to Rodriguez. The opening mission in Abkhazia features rather realistic commentary on the state of affairs in the post-USSR Caucasus. Rather unexpected too, as the region has never been touched upon in any other work of media to date. The gratuitous Russian spoken by several characters is mostly grammatically correct and features sensible and appropriate obscenities actually used in everyday speech. George speaks in authentic Guyanese Creole. It's also mentioned in a Codec call that George is of East Indian descent. Indo-Guyanese are the largest ethnic group within Guyana. The mission that introduces George is hinted to take place in Guadalajara, Mexico, where the San Juan de Dios river was encased inside a big, wide pipe that was covered by the Independencia avenue — hence why the sewers of Guadalajara seem to be so wide and spacious. | |
