History[]
Past[]
When the Roger Pirates went to the New World after visiting Fish-Man Island, their first stop was on Raijin Island. Kozuki Oden and an unnamed member of the crew were seen getting electrocuted by the lightning of the Island.[2]
Summit War Saga[]
Post-War Arc[]
Raijin Island was first seen as a stop for the Fallen Monk Pirates in the New World. Intimidated by the island's endless lightnings, Urouge was approached by Kasa, who offered to sell him an umbrella.
Dressrosa Saga[]
Punk Hazard Arc[]
Raijin Island was visited by Smoker and his men, as the Marine Vice-Admiral had deducted that the Straw Hat Pirates would've progressed to this location from Fish-Man Island, taking in account their captain's dangerous sense of adventure to prepare an ambush. Unfortunately for him, he was unaware the Straw Hats had been caught by a white strom that warped them near Punk Hazard.
Trivia[]
- Weatheria has a book that details Raijin Island's unique weather.[3]
- Raijin is the god of thunder in Japanese mythology, which is probably why the island is named after him.
- Raijin island seems to be based on an atmospheric phenomenon in Venezuela called Relámpago del Catatumbo (Catatumbo lightning), where lightnings strike 280 times per hour, 160 nights a year. It is also know as the "everlasting storm".
