Shuga, Raiden

ライデン・シュガ

Raiden Shuga serves as the vice-commander of Spearhead Squadron, holding the rank of First Lieutenant. He is an elite Processor with four years of experience and bears the personal codename Wehrwolf. Having spent three years alongside Shin before joining Spearhead Squadron, Raiden is the closest to Shin among all the squadron's members.
An imposing figure due to his height and strength, Raiden is an effective leader. However, he frequently takes a supporting role to Shin and Theo in combat, recognizing that he cannot match their offensive piloting techniques. Instead, he guards their flanks while they attack. Raiden shares close bonds with his squadron members, particularly Shin, and is willing to go as far as disobeying orders to protect his friends' lives. He is viewed as an older brother figure to the other members of Spearhead. Lena notes that he is somewhat foul-mouthed.
Raiden is a skilled cook, often preparing meals for Spearhead Squadron. He can also sew, a skill he learned alongside Shin to be able to mend his own clothes.
