Description
Raidou Tatsumi, also rendered as Tatsumi Raido, is a supporting character in the anime Shadowverse Flame. He is a third-year student at Shadoba College and the director of the Fifth Sword club, one of the college's Shadowverse clubs. His stated goal is to instill his personal ideal of strength into the game of Shadowverse, and his defining motto is that Shadowverse is a matter of physical strength. In line with this belief, he is almost always training his body, and he maintains that physical conditioning is the foundation of a strong player.
Raidou has brown hair that tends to stick out, orange eyes, and orange sneakers. Unlike many named characters in the series, he wears his school uniform properly. His manner is polite and courteous, but he is also a hot-blooded and intense young man, and his enthusiasm is sometimes considered excessive by those around him. He tends to jump to conclusions quickly, as seen when he immediately assumes that Light Tenryu and his friends are trying to recruit members away from his club. He is strict in his outlook and places great importance on strength, which leads him to dismiss strategies he considers weak, such as the cute cards used by Itsuki.
Raidou's motivation is rooted in his conviction that power, earned through discipline and hard work, is the most important quality in a Shadowverse player. He applies this belief to his own training and tries to pass it on to the members of his club. This includes Ren, a club member whom he trains but who ultimately leaves Fifth Sword to join Seventh Flame. Raidou initially views Seventh Flame as a rival threat and clashes with them, but over time he comes to accept Ren's decision. He is genuinely pleased to see Ren embrace her true self with her new team, recognizing that she could never have done so while remaining in Fifth Sword.
His role in the story is that of a supporting figure among the club presidents of Shadoba College. He takes part in club competitions, including a battle against Hahajima Fuwari in preparation for the college's club competition, during which he brings out his ace card and emphasizes how hard he has trained. Later, he accompanies the other club presidents and the members of Seventh Flame to the resort at Genesis Island and enters the Shadowverse World Ranking, where he battles Haruma Hazeura and is defeated. That loss marks a step in his development, as he continues to compete in the wider world of Shadowverse beyond the college.
Notable abilities include the disciplined, physically trained approach he brings to the game, his use of an ace card in important matches, and a rhetorical style in which he preaches his philosophy of strength throughout his battles.
