History
Summary
102 years ago, Raideen was a member of the Giant Warrior Pirates. One day, the captains Dorry and Brogy caught massive Sea Kings and the crew celebrated by drinking together on an island. Sixty-three years before the present day, Raideen trained Hajrudin in combat, intending to make his pupil stronger so he could join the Giant Warrior Pirates once either Dorry or Brogy returned from their duel. The two dueled, with Raideen overpowering his student. Jorul and Jarul then came to the village and Raideen greeted them. Seven days later, during the Winter Solstice fast, Charlotte Linlin went on a rampage to find semla. After she fatally injured Jorul, Raideen held Hajrudin back as his student yelled at Jarul to kill her.
Trivia
Summary
He is possibly named after the professional wrestler James Raideen. His name could also be a reference to Brave Raideen, a Japanese super robot anime series featuring a hero of the same name. He shares the same voice actor as his student Hajrudin in adulthood.
