Biography
Manga=

Though he introduces himself as the ninth member of the Gung-Ho-Guns, he is the fourth Gun to challenge Vash. He is sent to announce that Legato's killing game has begun anew shortly after Wolfwood brings Vash out of retirement two years after Fifth Moon. After Vash defeats him and spares him, Rai-Dei attempts to attack from behind by firing the blade of his sword, but is quickly killed by Wolfwood. This leads to Vash and Wolfwood to have a near falling out.

He expresses anger in the fact that Vash is refusing to make his mark true and aim to kill, claiming he wants "a real battle". Legato intervenes by forcing Vash to use his Angel Arm, leading to the Fifth Moon incident. Rai-Dei survives, but Wolfwood finds and kills him.

Ability
Rai-Dei has learned what he calls the strongest and most lost sword style known as Jigenzan Ittou, a samurai style that includes evading your opponent and crushing him afterwards. He also has some weapons that help him in his mission to make Vash suffer, including a special samurai sword that allows him to create vibrant waves that can even go through walls and roller skates that give him incredible speed and mobility, to the point of being able to evade many of Vash's blows. Rai-Dei is undoubtedly one of the fastest members of Gung Ho Guns.
