Character Description: Rai-Dei the Blade
Rai-Dei the Blade is one of the Gung-Ho Guns, the ninth to be specific. He speaks Japanese and dresses as a samurai (both of which are odd, given that nobody else on Gunsmoke remembers Earth).
Rai-dei the Blade is a powerful swordsman with the ability to create gigantic shockwaves with a sweep of his sword. The waves are powerful enough to destroy medium-rise buildings and create huges furrows in the Earth with one stroke. The base of the sword that Rai-dei carries is a housing unit for the launching of the 'blade' of the sword.
Despite being a Gung-Ho Gun, Rai-Dei has a strong sense of honor, formally challenging Vash the Stampede before their fight. He also has a quest, seeking, as he put it, "the knowledge known only by those who face death".
During the fight between Vash and E.G. Mine, Rai-Dei the Blade interrupted and killed E.G. Mine for his failure. He then fought Vash himself, but the fight abruptly concluded when Legato assaulted Vash's mind and forced him to use the Angel Arm. Upon seeing this attack, Rai-Dei was terrified, and desperately tried to talk the next person he met into aiding him with the task of killing Vash the Stampede. Unfortunately, the person he met was Nicholas D. Wolfwood, who killed him.
