Appearance

Of ordinary height, Raijin sports a mane of long, spiky white hair. A goggled mask splits his face into two color halves, one blue and one yellow, and he dresses in an orange kimono with white gloves. Mounted on his back is a wide ring that holds four fireballs.

He is often shown astride Warazane, his oversized catfish, which is capable of traveling across dry land as readily as water.

Personality

As with the rest of the Orochi Oniwabanshu, Raijin is devoted to the shogun and takes his duties seriously, scoffing at how careless it was for Robin to creep through Orochi Castle while ninja stood guard. For all his discipline, however, he is deeply superstitious and quick to panic, a flaw laid bare when the living skeleton Brook sent him fleeing in terror.

Abilities

Raijin is a highly capable ninja, skilled enough to ambush Nico Robin and corner her alongside his fellow agents before she realized they were there. His trademark style, shared with Fujin, is a grappling technique known as Slimy Grappling, and he supplements it by hurling shuriken, which he used in his attacks on Robin.

In the Wano Country Arc, he and the other Oniwabanshu surprised the disguised O-Robi during Orochi's banquet, only to capture a vanishing body double conjured by her fruit. Searching the hall for the real geisha, Raijin and Fujin stumbled onto Brook's spirit form and bolted in terror, mistaking him for the Gashadokuro and spreading their panic to the rest of the squad. Later, during the unrest at Rasetsu Town following Yasuie's execution, Daikoku set the pair after a woman seen with Roronoa Zoro, but Zoro intervened and struck Raijin down.
