Raiden Shogun – Genshin Impact – _Images

Not to be confused with [Raiden Mei]

The Raiden Shogun, also known as the Electro Archon and the ruler of the Inazuma region within the game's world. As the God of Eternity, she is revered by the people of Inazuma and has immense power over the element of electro.

The Raiden Shogun is depicted as a regal and imposing figure. She is also known for her cold and calculating nature, her maritial prowess, and her commitment to the ideal of eternity.

The true name of the Raiden Shogun that the Traveler meets is Raiden Ei. She was the younger twin sister of the former Electro Archon, [Raiden Makoto]. Ei served as Makoto's shadow during her time as ruler. As the martial expert among the two, Ei worked as the enforcer of Makato's reign, slaying the mad snake-god Orobashi on the island of Yashiori.

After Makato died during the Cataclysm, Ei was overcome by a deep grief. She created a puppet ruler to fill her role as Archon, and then abandoned her physical body, sealing her soul in the blade Musou Isshin. She then meditated in the Plane of Euthymia, seeking to preserve her consciousness from the natural force of erosion.

Raiden Ei strongly believes in the ideal of eternity, which she claims to be closest to the Heavenly Principles. To Ei, eternity means a constant, unchanging state of being. This put her at odds with her sister, who believed the nature of eternity was to change, and celebrated the transience of life.

To fulfill Ei's concept of eternity, the Shogun Puppet enforced the Sankaku Decree, which turned Inazuma into an isolationist state, as well as the Vision-Hunt Decree. These acts lead to great civil unrest, until the Traveler was able reach Ei's consciousness to inform her of the state of her nation.

In battle, the Raiden Shogun wields a spear and has a range of powerful electro-based attacks at her disposal. During her burst, she will draw her legendary blade Musou Isshin, which is stored within the puppet body she inhabits. Her combat style is focused on quick, precise strikes and lightning-fast movements, making her a formidable opponent for any who dare to challenge her rule.

Raiden Shogun shares many traits with Raiden Mei from [Houkai 3rd] and predecessors like name, appearance, and voice actors. Any deeper connections are not confirmed at this point.

Raiden Ei's demon name is Beelzebul. Her exact age is unknown, although she must be at least 2000 years old, due to her participation in the Archon War.
