[[WMG:Assuming Bladewolf is playable in it, a sequel will have four animal-ish AI bosses that Bladewolf will fight (though nothing says that Raiden can't provide support).]]
Drawing inspiration from the [[TheFourGods Four Heavenly Kings]], one will be based on the black turtle (perhaps employing the use of explosive shields? It could shoot its enemy from the holes in the shields), one will be based on the white tiger (potential mirror boss, since it could roughly be similar to Bladewolf body-wise. Perhaps Bladewolf's rival?), one will be based on the vermillion bird (divebombing Bladewolf with powerful missiles? Bonus points if it pesters Raiden/Bladewolf a lot during its level with rockets) and lastly the last one will be based on the azure dragon (could have has a flamethrower in its mouth. The "leader" of the pack perhaps?).

[[WMG:Bladewolf appreciates puns because he's smart enough to get them.]]
* Learning to talk took Wolf three years, and he's so good at it he properly understands the intricacies of the English language, one of the most complex on the planet. When Raiden makes his early "Throw the dog a bone" pun, this is one of the few times he doesn't rebuke the attempt at humor - Wolf immediately and flatly analyzes it, but doesn't outright dismiss it. He might not get any humor out of them the way humans do, but Wolf appreciates hearing puns because being able to understand sophisticated wordplay is another way he's very unique compared to other [=AIs=].

We are now all fully aware that the main character is the Raiden who grew up as a child soldier in Liberia, wound up as an American spy, then a cyborg ninja. The game also takes place several years after ''Guns of the Patriots.'' We all know that Raiden's family has to be involved somehow. My money's on this.

[[WMG:The RAY Pilot Will Be A HiveMind AI Controlling The Mooks]]
This just came to me-a lot of the Mooks look pretty similar to each other. While this is understandable, I thought "Hey, what if they're clones, and ''that's'' why Desperado is actually so threatening despite not being employed by a legit government-with enough resources, [[WeHaveReserves they can simply clone a new force]]. Naturally, given how Metal Gear applies to ClonesArePeopleToo, the apparent identical personalities will raise alarms, until TheReveal that they literally have one mind-an intelligent Unmaned Gear like Bladewolf (perhaps named SO-013, and he will point out that their names are leet-speak anagrams of Solid and Liquid-programmer's joke).

Because this is Metal Gear, it will be revealed that, originally, the Gear was like his "brother", only fighting for Desperado for lack of any better options. However, the memories of his human bodies being repeatedly killed by Raiden kept on being transferred back to him, along with [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil excruciating final moments]]. By the time of the boss fight, [[DrivenToMadness the Gear is completely insane from experiencing death over and over again]], [[UnstoppableRage recklessly attacking the source of his pain in an attempt to]] ''[[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds make it stop]]''. Bonus points for the Gear deciding that since Raiden is his nemesis, [[WhatTheHellHero and obviously being an agent of the Patriots due to his apparent sadism]], the AI's purpose is to be an anti-Patriot and use the servers of the Patriot AIs and remnants of the SOP system [[WellIntentionedExtremist to destroy all that would restrict free will and choice, no matter how slight]]. Thus being an EvilCounterpart to Bladewolf, who faced the same question about freedom but was shown mercy.

Needless to say, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realizing he's turned an otherwise innocent creature]] [[NotSoDifferent into himself]], this is what motivates Raiden to ask himself why he's seeking revenge, [[CycleOfRevenge if all he's done is give cause for more.]]

[[spoiler:Raiden appears to have made peace with his family at the end of MGS4, and presumably leaves active service to live with them]].

The cyborg looks like Vamp, and even sounded like him. He is also fighting Raiden, and as any MGS fan knows, Raiden and Vamp have a bit of a rivalry.

[[WMG: The reason for such a game shift with MetalGearRisingRevengance? Kojima is trying to kill off the franchise forever (like he has wanted to do for years).]]
He has repeatedly stated his desire to stop the series from continuing yet sales keep making him return. As such, to stop the cycle once and for all, he has allowed the new game to be as alienating as possible, so that fans won't keep bugging him for a new game. This is why a fake trailer was release as well before being changed to a hack n slash, and why a different group of developers are doing the game. Kojima really has had enough, and by making a game so different and so bad, he will finally succeed although he will claim it to be canon (although really he know he and the fans think it isn't).

* This gets a little more likely when you consider that Kojima is barely involved with the game compared to previous efforts, and that his next project will have him going back to [[ZoneOfTheEnders one of his other series.]]

[[WMG: [[http://kotaku.com/5272382/kojima-updates-site-yet-again-with-familiar-face-hidden-mystery-mask This ninja]] is Olga.]]
Olga is already a ninja. She was shot in the head, but said head was mostly intact when she died and Gray Fox came back from worse. This ninja's eye is covered, which could cover Olga's gunshot wound. She could potentially be brought back to life if her brain wasn't damaged.
* Jossed. The game stars Raiden and is supposed to take place between Metal Gears Solid 2 and 4. That said, Zombie Cyborg Ninja Olga making an appearance would be hella cool.

[[WMG: Raiden won't be the hero of Rising]]
You'll switch to some new guy an hour in.
** Or new girl...

[[WMG: There will be a character named FÅ«jin in Rising.]]
He or she will have some kind of connection to Raiden.

[[WMG: Metal Gear Solid Rising will star Raiden's son]]
(Spoiler tagged due to [=MGS4=] ending details)
[[spoiler: In the teaser picture, "Raiden" has brown eyes. The Raiden from Metal Gear Solid 2 and 4 has blue eyes. However, Raiden's son, John II (Little John) DOES have brown eyes. Besides, "Raiden" is just a codename, like there have been more than one Snake. Hideo Kojima has already stated that Solid Snake won't appear in any more games. Metal Gear Solid 2 stars the first Raiden (Naked Raiden). Little John (Solid Raiden) will have to fight his ACTUAL twin brother (from whom he was separated at birth. The reason Rose told Naked Raiden that she had had an abortion was to hide that there were two), just as Solid fought Liquid. The next few games will all focus on Solid Raiden, whose main love interest will be Sunny Gurlukovich, mission control and chef. Naked Raiden will clearly be killed by Solid Raiden using a makeshift weapon, and someone will make another nuclear-equipped walking battle tank.]]
* Jossed. New artwork has made the eyes blue again. Here: http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid:_Rising

[[WMG: Raiden will demonstrate electrical abilities in Metal Gear Solid: Rising.]]
Which will explain why he was able to hit people with lightning bolts at the end of [=MGS4.=]
* Considering the game's tagline is "lightning bolt action," I'm gonna have to go with a resounding "no [[spoiler: shit]]" on this one.
