Matter is simple. What makes me love this character is that he always take the ultimate sacrifices to save us all.

But Raiden, aside from other gods, show many human traits. He makes promises he can't fulfill, he makes bad decisions, he second guesses his choices, he fails, he tries again. He is truly connected to us, as the way we act, and despite he is a god and has different perspectives, he still sees many things as a human.

His corrupt persona is the failure, the sign of being weary of this fight that brings us no salvation, no redemption. So, adding a corrupted factor (Onaga's presence or Shinnok's energy), it just push Raiden into resolving all of his questions breaking the very barrier that he always restrain himself.

Cooler part? He will fail again, and he will make us fail, trying to save us. He takes the ultimate sacrifice, corrupting himself, to make that right, but he will fail. And I do think that Dark Raiden's return is a sign of Armageddon, and, if I could bet, I'd say that this time HE will bring the Armageddon.

Draft, that's a theory I sustain. Prophecies are made to be complete. It doesn't matter how, or when, but they are open commands. Onaga's prophecy is something that dates way back Shinnok's fall, so when these comic guys that probably nenver played any 3D era games come and **** the story, they are moving pieces of an puzzle, ok, a messes puzzle, but still has its harmony.

I also agree they could use Onaga as that dragon thing, Ridely.

Question is: where it fits the fact that Daegon suddenly found Onaga for something, you know.

When they introduced Shujinko, there could be a good excuse.

Raiden knew the BS he would do, so he stopped Shujinko. Adding to that lazy plot, protect the Kamidagger and let's stop this idiotic quest of yours, or you will doom us all.

But no mention to that, they just didn't care. And now they are putting Onaga into Red Dragon's LORE! That means their own constitution.

I wouldn't be surprised if they put Onaga as red, seriously.

Unfortunately, I see few complaints for them. We do have the power to make this comic non-canon, but, in some ways, I do think many of us are desperate to see our favorite characters, judging the lack of attention for them on movies and, for some chars, in game, so most of us accept all these BS that are being created. Totally agreed.
