Raiden Shogun Battle Theme [All Phases] - Genshin Impact OST 

Note: That some of the cutscene ost are hardcoded within the dialouge scenes i apologize for that other wise i would have included them. unless i directly ask miHoYo for them. we gonna have to wait for the album releases

Anti shogun training: "Do you know how to dodge?" Zhong havers: "No." Anti shogun training: "Would you like to?"

My mobile crashed just after I finished the cutscenes of Yae convincing Baal to abolish the vision hunt decree. I had to repeat the whole fight in the Plane of Euthymia. Best Crash Ever.

*"this character cannot cook"*

Raiden: "I will permit you to leave this building with your life" Traveler: *takes one step out of the building* Raiden: "aight bet" *attempts to murder them immediately*

Signora: You can't kill me! I got diplomatic immunity! Raiden Shogun: *It's just been revoked.*

Phase 1 Traveller : Why do i hear boss music Phase 2 Raiden : Why do i hear boss music

Can we just talk about how AMAZING the 1st phase theme is??

Traveler: I am the storm that is approaching Raiden shogun: *I am the thunder within the storm.*

Something I noticed with Raiden's first theme is that throughout the whole song it almost never changes. The pacing and the notes of the song persists from start to finish. It kinda mirrors Ei's ideal eternity, unchanging and without progress.

Not sure if anyone noticed, but the start begins as Signora's leitmotif and then slowly gets drowned out by Baal's iconic notes. Take notice as to how shaky and disjointed signora's theme is, it just further solidified the fear she felt when realizing what fate would befall her.

For those who are wondering, the OSTs for Raiden’s boss are: Bane of Ambitions Thunderings of the Merciless The Almighty Violet Thunder (this one is not in the video) They’re from the album “Islands of the Lost and Forgotten”.

Say what you want about Genshin as a game, its music is top tier without a doubt.

I like how Yu Peng Chen combine traditional Japanese instruments with EDM, very fitting consider Baal is an electro Archon

This and Teppei appearing briefly before the fight gave me chills holy shit

She is the first boss that actually gave me a challenging fight. Her ability to just take away all of your abilities aside from your normal attacks really forced me to start learning how to dodge and not rely on my barriers. That, with this absolute banger playing in the background, gave me such a huge sense of "shit, I'm actually gonna die-".

Genshin needs more fights like Raiden IMO. This was some of the most fun I had in the game.

Her phase 2 ost literally gave me chills while playing

seeing how Raiden is always lonely...able to fight her again to hone her skills again wouldn't be a bad idea...that would help me practice Dodging instead of relying too much on Zhongli's Shield

5:43 That bass brass transition though… It always plays when she powers up in the game in her boss fight and it just gives me chills every time…

Why does everyone with the name Raiden have killer music? Mortal Kombat Raiden, Metal Gear Raiden, and Genshin Impact Raiden all have me head bobbing. I just fought Baal for the first time and I love her music.

Honestly, a very challenging boss that manages to capture the emotions perfectly with the scenery and the difficulty

I like how the Inazuma theme playing during Phase 2 represents the ambitions and voices of people finally reaching Ei in her isolation.

I love how in the first music, they used Signora's theme in a very heavy beats. And when Shogun's theme came in, it lifts away most of the heavy instruments which kind of indicates that Shogun is like an out of the world kind of terrifying, a very huge gap. But at the same time with the flute, it kinda express the loneliness at the same time. So many emotions in one

"I locked your skills" "lol" said the Phys DPS main "lmao"

Players 10 months ago: OMG!! Childe's Boss music is SO GOOD how much money did they put into this? Players now: dude this is actual fire how can it get better than this. Players 1 year later: Damn Sumeru music is burning my feet off this is brilliant.

Ei's first phase is definitely her theme, no doubt. But the second phase turns into a remix of the universal Inazuman theme tune, this highlights the fact that Ei is no longer the focus of the battle, but the visions that resonate with the traveller's power are. It turns into a theme of the people, the humans who dare defying a god

I actually like phase 1 way more. You can sense that eternity, a powerful and invincible archon. It´s like you will never come back from there. I just love it

Ei, is probably the best of the archons as so far all of the current archons we met at first are friendly while she`s the only one who manage to induced the weight of going against the will of an authoritarian god that will immediately placed judgment on those who defies her way of ruling her nation. I remember how intense and scary Ei was when first trying fight her.

Interesting thing about "The Execution" the very start music mimics that of Childe's final form's music. Love the consistency!!

Ei and La Signora are two of the best boss fights I played in recent memory and the music, along with the powerful emotional implications behind them, is a huge part of what made the experience so great. Genshin Impact would simply NOT be the same game with anyone other than Yu-Peng Chen.

Phase 1 is so freaking good. I love how Mihoyo mixes traditional music and EDM. That gives me epic vibes, it’s hard to describe

The Traveler must be really terrified after Raiden Shogun executed Signora. I feel it during that time she walked out of Tenshukaku. They had a friendly relationship with Venti and Zhongli. They might not have imagined, even after knowing Khaenri'ah's story, that Venti and Zhongli can be so strong at their will. The execution of Baal became a realization to the Traveler that gods in Teyvat are powerful, especially the Seven.

We should be able to spar with Raiden again like Masanori.

This battle theme has to be my favorite composition in Genshin so far. This was a battle taking place in the Plane of Euthymia, which is essentially Ei's mind, and we aren't actually fighting the physical Ei, but rather her mind and her will. Phase 1 sounds menacing and unchanging because no matter how hard we try, we're nowhere close to changing her mind. The overall tone and melody stays the same for pretty much the entire theme, representing her eternity and how we aren't getting through to her, almost as if she doesn't want to give us a chance. During the cutscene transition from the first phase to the second phase, her people's ambitions light up her Plane of Euthymia, which makes her realize how important these ambitions are to her people. She also sees Yae Miko, and old friend that she probably missed during her centuries locked away. This is what causes the change of heart; we're now fighting with not only our own ambition, but the ambitions of dozens of people as well. Ei gives us a chance to change her will, and instead of the one-sided debate we had in phase 1, it's turned into a discussion between her ideals and her people's ambitions. She's smiling because either way, this is a productive use of her time; if she beats out ours and her people's ambitions, she's right and will continue ruling as she has been, if we beat her, she's saved from her eternal loneliness and she's improved Inazuma along the way by incorporating our ideas into her rule. Either way, she also gets to meet Yae again. The change in the BGM also represents all of this. It starts out with her motif, she starts the discussion by putting down her ideals at 4:58, however this time, it's a lot more light hearted. Then comes our point of view, at 5:27, and then the clash of our ideas and her's comes at 5:42. Immediately after, the Inazuman motif comes, symbolizing her people's ideals and ambitions at 5:56. At 6:25, Ei takes a moment to think about our discussion, then comes back at 6:33 with her motif again to deliver another idea. We come back in at 7:02, and at 7:16 the clash of ideas happens again. This time though, it's a lot more intense. Throughout the entire track, the use of unconventional melodies and drum beats reminds us that we are still going against and challenging the god of thunder, and it represents the sporadic nature of lightning itself. It was overall such a well thought out composition and I can't get over it.

I was soo unprepared for this fight at AR 40. Now at AR 55, armed with Eula, a lvl 90 Yanfei and raiden herself I, quoting a certain Oni, want a re match.

I feel like being named Raiden means you have access to awesome music

i love that shogun's theme and inazuma main theme are the same as the folk song sakura sakura.

‘the execution’ sent chills down my spine. especially the vocals. actual goosebumps..

I like how in the second phase you can hear something like the ticking of a clock, symbolizing the inexorable flow of time, that no one, not Even Ei with her "eternity" can stop

The fact that the base drum sounded like a heart beat is what really sold it

That second phase gave me life. SO good

I had a hard time fighting her, not only was she powerful, the ping was also her support.

Absolutely Love her battle theme. It is so "trance like" and yet it has sich a beautiful flow and melody to it as well. It tells a whole story.

The shamisen distortion at 2:30 is so fucking good and unique

I love how the game starts off all happy go sunshine adventure, then gives a slight hint of dark atmosphere when we bump into the corrupted statue and the actually confirmed corpse of the game, and how the game just grows darker and darker, hitting the peak at Inazuma with the Shogun just executing Signora in front of us. The Raiden's arc will always be one of the most memorable arcs for me, the whole Khaenriah introduction with the sibling and Dain was just the first taste, this is when the game just let go of your hand, and says ' the real shit starts now, get ready ' and I love it

god i fucking love how smart yu-peng is with ALL of his themes like hes never slacking it drives me nuts in the best way possible... might need to go on a tangent about every single character theme and soundtrack bit at some point in my life

her battle skills were so scary her cooking skills ran away

Now I’m no licensed listener, but 1:30 is one mind boggling, soul ascending, lung expanding, soul transmuting, heart quivering, slick pacing concurrently wavering, earth shattering, original game soundtrack MY ears and mind have ever processed. God I love this game

Listening to the second phase while using Kazuha to fight and having his best friend in mind was making me so emotional man

I wish one day, MHY allows us (non canon) to fight these history fights again

7:43 this beat right here stops my heartbeat for a second

This has to be my favorite theme in the entire game so far. Fills you to the brim with adrenaline and makes use of the traditional Japanese music elements, and most importantly, it's a banger.

By listening to this you’ve got 1 resin recharge

I love the brass that kicks in at 5:42. So loud and powerful, just like thunder.

raiden's battle theme is the best in the game idc its genuinely so intimidating, which i guess is the point considering you're fighting an archon, but it does a really good job of portraying the frenzied "oh sh*t" moment we all had when fighting her for the first time

I absolutely love how both themes completely suit their respective phase. Phase 1 sounds incredibly intense and almost scary. It suits how the traveller is genuinely scared of facing the shogun, like how there is what sounds like a heartbeat throughout it and the shamisen getting more and more distorted throughout it. Phase 2 on the other hand seems like the traveller finally has their bearings and knows that they have took control of the fight, while the main melody of inazuma kind of duels with the judgement on euthymia theme throughout the song. I love how it feels like the fight gets more in your favour as the theme goes on like at 5:40 the brass comes in real hard and intimidating whereas the second time it gets to that part the brass is way quieter and the melody takes the lead. Honestly I just love how this whole theme tells the story of how the fight is going throughout both phases and how Phase 2 is made to sound like this isn't a fight between you and the shogun anymore, it's more like a fight between Inazuma and the shogun.

Raiden Shogun in her boss fight has: - Judgement Cut End - Judgement Cut - Drive - Overdrive - Rapid Slash - And a Sin DT Explosion She by far has the most “Vergil” inspiration out of all the characters in this game and it’s not even close

Just to clarify, Ei did not have her Gnosis right? So that means we had to get a super vision power up to defeat a Gnosis-Less Ei. Feel free to correct me.

The only Archon who has the courage to kill one of the Fatui Harbinger

man, i remember this is one of the most hype moment in the game, literally fighting one-on-one with the Electro Archon herself. I don't think they can recreate this ammount of hype again until at least we face the Tsartisa (if that's an option)

As some people in the comments have already pointed out, the musical scores help to illustrate the power dynamics of featured characters. During the execution phase, Signora’s theme and melody is drowned out by Baal’s, illustrating just how outmatched (f*cked) she is. On the contrary, Ei’s theme is replaced by that of the Inazuma theme once traveller gains the power of the visions, showing that the power of the people is enough to overwhelm even that of a god

5:40 Everyone's vibing till that horns section comes in on the second phase. Easily the best part of the battle imo.

It took me seven hours and countless attempts. But I finally beat Raiden. . . . In Genshin hollow knight web-game event.

The entire track slaps, but the part that starts from 6:33 does twice the slapping

When fighting baal The 2nd phase seemed to energize my body and my dmg.

Man, I love the idea at 2:28 of adding static white noise and putting this really oppressive distortion on the koto with some kind of cut-off filter on it to portray the feeling of overwhelming electricity like the air; from that point on, more and more electronic elements and sounds are added. It's like Raiden's electro powers are so unbearably immense that they begin to transform and affect the air around her causing even soundwaves and frequencies to change in property as they travel through it. The low thumping of the bass drum almost sounds like a heartbeat as if the listener has also been transported into her Plane of Euthymia. In contrast to the first phase where the music was fairly collected and calm, the second phase adds this 4 to the floor beat as well as a pulsing bass rhythm in 16th notes that really drives the melody forward with urgency and even a sense of desperation. The melody is much more prominent here and is far more more forward in the mix giving the feeling of the Raiden Shogun starting to enforce her will upon you and the people of Inazuma. The brass kicks in and lets you know that she is enforcing that will with power and authority. The sound of the song turns more and more electronic until the end where it becomes just a straight up trap beat with just the main melody being the only remaining element of traditional Japanese instrumentation. This could just be the first point being reinforced but I feel like this is a representation of the progression of time and the gradual move towards modernity (this makes more sense after playing Ei's story quest). It starts out with the traditional instruments being very forward in the mix and being the main part of the song, but eventually the song transitions into a very modern sounding trap beat breakdown where the traditional instrument is pulled back in the mix again to support the main groove of the song. It's still the same song, but what once was the main part of the song back then has now become the foundation of what it has become now, just like how tradition is born and then becomes the foundations of a nation's culture many generations in the future.

6:20 Holy, CHILLS it gives of how scary an Archon can be to a mortal by giving that 'electronic' horror beat

The fact that the execution theme is both Signoras and Raidens themes mixed together in an epic yet tragic piece of art is just amazing

Listening to this while studying feels like im in fight with the book

Just like how the MC got powered up by the people's ambitions during the Phase 2, the music hyped me up so hard! In phase1 I was running around dodging her attacks but damn, the music in Phase 2 made the fight so exhilarating. The music is what really makes the fight

Apart from How good this theme is. Both Phase one and Phase two of this OST gives me a feeling of a force of nature that has near god like powers. Someone who is incredibly quick, deadly, and could kill you in only a few strikes if you're not careful. I have played Genshin, but I haven't gotten to Inazuma yet, so I have no idea if this analysis is even correct.

raidens phase 1 theme music was always a banger omfg

This Battle is the Inazuman equivalent of the Fall of Decarabian. The future of *everyone* in Inazuma is decided here. The Resistance, the Loyalists, if Ei cannot be convinced of a different path then they'll *all* pay a bloody price as she's drowning in her sorrow and refuses to see them and acknowledge their own suffering. The second phase really captures the feeling that this single fight will decide the fate of a nation, for better or worse and that the Traveller is, at this point, willing to die and, if necessary, willing to *kill a god* for the sake of Inazuma.

I wish they let us replay this fight in some way. I don't even want rewards, it's just such a fun fight overall.

7:30 This goes hard

You are here for 4:58.

I got chills when I first entered the first boss fight and read "Raiden Shogun, The Seven: Electro Archon".

Right before I could start the Phase 2 of the battle, the lights in my room flickered and my whole neighborhood had a power outage. My wifi disconnected but I was in awe. Could it be Raiden Shogun that reached across dimensions to tamper with me? Maybe.

I like how the further the track goes on the more tense the music becomes, the more it reflects how dangerous Raiden character is, who in the first scenes seems completely indifferent to the situation in the country, but the further the plot goes the more terrifying she begins to look.

its nice hearing a heartbeat throughout the whole track

Honkai veterans: Genshin is going to be a game for babies Genshin lore geeks: it's going to be a very sad game Yu-peng Chen: let's make it a horror game!

The Anti-Shogun training was useless ngl. I still died from her.

when i was fighting her, during the third phase i was loving it sm bc it felt so redemptive and beautiful. all the visions being wielded by traveler, and the theme felt truly like a final battle.

This will be my favourite boss theme for eternity, that fact will never change.

I love how Signora and Ei's themes are smoothly changing between them. It is JUST MASTERPIECE.

Controls the storms Lightning fast attacks Attacks hurt a lot Attacks also chain into each other Locks us out of our Es and Qs Has no Gnosis

Phase 1: OH NO CALL AN AMBULANCE Phase 2: BUT NOT FOR ME

It is amazing how the archons' themes sum up their archon quests perfectly.

Raiden Shogun definitely did a smart move there. After saying to Lumine/Aether that we can leave Tenshukaku alive, she suddenly tries to kill us after leaving Tenshukaku… Alive. (I will probably do the same if I was her).

When fighting Raiden in the second phase, i stopped defeating her just to listen to the soundtrack.

It still baffles me how those archons are actually humans that are just really strong. Especially Raiden doesn't have her Gnosis anymore and hibernated for 500 years, and she still kicks our asses without plot armor. This is insane. You can see that those people could kill gods before receiving the Gnosis.

shes still one of the strongest we ever fought

“You’re not fighting me, Ei. You’re not fighting change, or a resistance, or Fatui.” “You’re fighting yourself…and losing.”

See ya’ll next year in Sumeru for more epic beats

*She's the Storm that is Approaching!*

The Phase 1 song still gives me goosebumps, man. It's so good. Shame it wasn't used again for the weekly boss.

That brass at 5:42 caught me so off guard I almost fell off my chair, hot damn. Since I know nothing about Genshin Impact and was just going off of how the character looks, the rest of the theme sounds sort of "as expected", in a way? But that part really adds a whole new different flavor of power into the song. You *really* don't want to mess around with her.

Since this type comment frequently appears on boss music videos, I will do this one. Dvalin - Easy Andrius - Still Easy Childe - Still Easy Azdaha - Dark Souls Signora - Not really challenging (in my own experience of course) Baal or Ei I should say - Please have mercy 😨(I know she is not a weekly boss, but damn she actually gives my team a hard time!)

We fought Ei when she couldnt use full potential of makoto's sword , guess we were lucky we had miko on our side. imagine fighting her now when Ei already unlocked full potential of Mussou Isshin (Makoto Sword) and can use it to its full power 😢.
