Background / History

Raiden Shogun manifests during Starry Sky's Martial Soul awakening alongside Raiden Mei and Underworld. She appears amid gold light and purple thunder, wearing a purple kimono and carrying a naginata; the three are recognized as Starry Sky's extraordinary Three Lives Martial Soul. 2

Starry Sky explains that the Shogun is a puppet created by Raiden Ei, or Shadow. Ei normally remains in the Plane of Euthymia while the puppet handles external affairs, but can take control of its body herself. 3

From Starry Sky's early Soul Ring hunts onward, the Shogun acts as an overwhelmingly protective combatant. She destroys Netherworld Wolves with lightning and habitually kills Soul Beasts before Starry Sky can fight them himself. Ei later agrees to adjust the Shogun's programming so Starry Sky can gain battle experience. 9 12

At Notting Academy, she confronts Yu Yuanzhen when he attempts to take Starry Sky away. Drawing Musou Isshin, she tears open a vast spatial rift with one slash and leaves the Titled Douluo terrified of her. 19

She subsequently receives a chef certificate at Blue Tyrant Academy and becomes invested in cooking. Her dishes are often dangerous or inedible, but can also improve Soul Power or trigger Martial Soul mutations. Her reputation eventually spreads through Spirit City, where Soul Masters queue in the tens of thousands to eat her food and honor her as the “Great Chef God.” 25 34 61 69 76

Appearance

Raiden Shogun is a petite purple-haired woman with an imposing, emotionless bearing. Her presence is commonly accompanied by purple lightning and an aura of majesty. 2 19

• Wears a gorgeous purple kimono. 2
• Carries a naginata in her normal combat presentation. 2 19
• Wields the sword Musou Isshin, drawn from her chest during decisive battles. 19
• Is physically similar enough to Raiden Mei and Underworld that observers frequently confuse the three. 68 75
• Often wears a tall chef's hat and Blue Tyrant Academy chef badge while cooking. 25 31

Personality

Raiden Shogun is stern, authoritarian, and intensely committed to her role as the “immutable law” and guardian of eternity. She treats threats to Starry Sky as “eternal enemies” and responds to perceived disrespect with immediate, often lethal force. 3 19 63

She follows rigid personal rules, particularly while cooking: ingredients must be fresh, and others are not permitted to touch them. Violations are commonly answered with lightning. 61 64

Despite her severity, she is extremely proud of her cooking and genuinely interprets fearful compliance as praise. She refuses to accept Raiden Mei's criticism, declares herself the finest chef under heaven, and considers the number of people willing to eat her food proof of victory. 42 46

Shadow / Raiden Ei

When Shadow takes control, the Shogun's body becomes more rational and receptive. Shadow recognizes the danger of the Shogun's cooking, destroys one of her meals, and cooperates with Starry Sky when he asks for help preventing further culinary disasters. 12 74

• Recognizes the Thunderclap Hell-Prison Vine as an intelligent, lightning-tempered plant-type Soul Beast. 12

Cooking
