Raiden Inakane

**Raiden Inakane** is one of the main characters of Keikaku Ya-Tai: Project Slayers and along with Kiba Yuji, a travelling companion of Tatsuma Akeboshi and Chishio Akeboshi. She is also a Demon Slayer in the Demon Slayer Corps.

## Appearance

Raiden is a curvaceous young woman with a slightly pale complexion and round, gold to brown eyes with long eyelashes, a small beauty mark beneath each of them. She has long blone to orange hair that all the way down to her ass.

Raiden wears a modified purple tinted version of the standard Demon Slayer uniform along with her signature white-triangle patterned, yellow and orange gradient haori. The chest area of her uniform is left unbuttoned and she wears a short pleated skirt in place of the usual hakama pants. Additionally, she wears a pair of yellow thigh-high socks layered with the vertically striped and a pair of white zōri with white and cyan straps.

## Personality

Raiden is cowardly, weak-willed, and anxious, often claiming that she doesn't have long to live due to the dangerous job of being a Demon Slayer. She has rather low self-esteem despite her talent and strength, even considering herself useless, evident when she couldn't believe she had slain a demon and tricked herself into instead believing that it was Shoichi, even though the latter was a young child who didn't possess any form of skill.

Before the raid on the Infinity Castle, Raiden gives off a different, more serious vibe as if she is focused on something important. This development occurred after receiving a letter from Chuntaro, which revealed her master's death and Kaigaku's role behind it. During his fight against Kaigaku, Raiden is stern and becomes enraged, causing her to angrily yell at her for disrespecting their cultivator. Her sudden change surprises her ex-senior, as Raien shows a more mature persona compared to her usual cowardice.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities**: From the beginning, Raiden comes off as a talented and skilled Demon Slayer though her denies this. Her strength awakens when she is asleep as her nervous demeanour is what normally keeps her from accessing her abilities, making her more sagacious, calm and precise in combat. This allowed she to instantly decapitate the Tongue Demon and defeat Son of the Spider Family by herself. She was later able to defend 3 entire train carts being under attack by Enmu, Lower Rank One, along with Chishio.

**Enhanced Hearing**: Raiden possesses a heightened sense of hearing, allowing her to detect danger from even the faintest of sounds. With this, she has displayed the ability to decipher layers upon layers of sound in one of the brothels and even in the Infinity Castle. As another testament to her great sound detection ability, she can perfectly replicate any tune he hears on a Shamisen and Koto only after listening to it once for the first time.

**Immense Speed & Reflexes**: Raiden is extremely fast, being able to easily move faster than even the eye can see. Even during the beginning of her career as a Demon Slayer, it is plainly obvious that her speed far outclassed that of lesser demons such as the Tongue Demon and Son of the Spider Family. During both skirmishes, neither demon was able to hit Raiden when she was actively engaged with the battle and both were completely unable to react to the speed of her attacks.

**Immense Stamina & Endurance**: Raiden has incredible stamina and endurance. She has been shown to continue fighting even after being affected by lethal poison from the Son Spider Demon that was gradually weakening her and turning her into a spider. She was also able to defend 3 train cars with Chishio for an extended period of time without tiring out.

**Indomitable Will**: In spite of her initial cowardice and reluctance to fight, Raiden nonetheless possesses indomitable willpower and spirit. This was displayed when she absolutely refused to let Kazehara kill the demon inside Tatsuma's box, and protected it to the end despite getting relentlessly beat up by Kazehara. While she was asleep against the battle against Daki, Raiden had the willpower to continue fighting despite sustaining numerous slash wounds all over his body and having her feet broken.

### Breathing Style

**Thunder Breathing**: A Breathing Style Raiden learned from a cultivator and his teacher, Jigoro Kuwajima, but failed to master all the forms in the swordsmanship style but could only be able to use the first of the six forms in it, known as Thunderclap and Flash. However, Raiden has become incredibly proficient in fighting and winning using the first form alone, even creating several variations and modifications to it and being able to successfully perform the technique even while unconscious.

#### Techniques

* **First Form: Thunderclap and Flash** (壱ノ型 霹靂一閃 *Ichi no kata: Hekireki Issen*) - The user unsheathes their katana, dashes forward at blinding speeds and decapitates their opponent faster than they can react, before sheathing it back. This technique is extremely reminiscent of Iaijutsu and its movements are described to be akin to "lightning ripping through the air".
	+ **Sixfold** (六連 *Rokuren*) - An extension of the **Thunderclap and Flash** technique created by Raiden. The user performs **Thunderclap and Flash** six times in quick succession while slightly augmenting the power and speed of her dashes.
	+ **Eightfold** (八連 *Hachiren*) - An extension of the **Thunderclap and Flash** technique created by Raiden. The user performs **Thunderclap and Flash** eight times in quick succession while slightly augmenting the power and speed of her dashes.
	+ **Godspeed** (神速 *Shinsoku*) - An extension of the **Thunderclap and Flash** technique created by Raiden. The user performs **Thunderclap and Flash** while greatly augmenting the speed of the technique. During the first display of this technique, an unconscious Raiden remarked that she mustn't perform this technique more than two times.

* **Seventh Form: Honoikazuchi no Kami** (漆ノ型 火雷神 *Shichi no kata: Honoikazuchi no Kami*, lit. Seventh Form: Flaming Thunder God) - The personal creation of Raiden Inakane. The user dashes forward at blinding speeds and unleashes a singular forward slash at a low stance, which is seemingly accompanied by a yellow Japanese dragon shaped like a lightning bolt.

## Equipment

**Standard Nichirin Katana:** As a Demon Slayer, Raiden carries around a standard sized and shaped Nichirin katana with lightning streaks along the entire blade. Her sword's hilt is circular shaped with 4 slight indentations, the center has a silver tone with small triangles and has a golden border. The handle is white with several yellow triangles going down it. The base of the handle is gold with two short, white ribbons hanging off it. With her katana, Raiden has a standard sword sheath that is white in color.
