Cosplayer Recreates Raiden from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance: "Nanomachines, son!"

It's time to return to the Metal Gear series universe, as cosplayer Ilya "Zektornis" Shevchenko transforms into the cyborg Raiden from MGR: Revengeance, eager to battle Senator Armstrong and other enemies.

Photographer Kira Mitenkova unexpectedly remembered the game Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, which takes place four years after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

During a special photoshoot, cosplayer Ilya "Zektornis" Shevchenko appeared as the cyborg ninja Raiden.

Raiden, also known as Jack the Ripper, White Devil, and Mr. Lightning, possesses superhuman speed, agility, and strength thanks to his cybernetic body.

His signature weapon is a high-tech katana that can cut through any material. He is a complex, multifaceted character with an internal conflict between humanity and bestial cruelty.
