Passing his blade so Raiden can defeat the only other man Sam couldn't kill. He wasn't simply passing a weapon. He was placing his will, his very legacy in Raidens hands. They were so alike in so many ways, but ultimately Raiden held to his beliefs and was determined to kill Armstrong. Sam respected him, and knew that he would succeed.

[@crazy_teacup]

@@faanvugeincynicalassassin I like to think that the reason why Sam didn't finish off Raiden in the prologue was to give Raiden the motivation to surpass him and kill Armstrong.He even recorded his last will as "if I win that's good,if I die there it's good too" or something along these lines.

The fact that he was on par with augmented Raiden, despite having less Cybernetics than Gray Fox, speaks volumes to just how incredibly skilled Sam really was.

[@theta_clips]

He was probably on the same level of Gray Fox, actually. He's still wearing an exosuit, else he wouldn't be able to do the ninja run and other crazy shit in this game. I don't get why people say this about Sam. He was good, but Raiden is still better.

[@kingkunta3753]

@@theta_clips ehh? If they had the same amount of enhancements, I think Sam would win! I mean raidin still has a ton more upgrades than Sam does essentially

[@colt9836]

That's kind of the point. Unlike most of the characters, Sam is more human than cyborg; absolutely more than Raiden is. In fact, in the Japanese release of the game, Sam is the *only* major character to have red blood (androids and cyborgs have white blood), further symbolizing just how human he was.

[@machexx1494]

@@colt9836 So in the Japanese version, Mistral, Monsoon and Sundowner have white blood ?

[@colt9836]

@@machexx1494 Yes, it's to show how far from human Raiden, Mistral, and Sundowner are. But Sam, however, as I've stated before, has red blood. I just think it's a cool fact and shows how much though went into this game.

[@C2Enjoyer]

Notice that once you disarm Sam, the music loses it's vocals and becomes instrumental. Without his Father's sword he isn't Jetstream Sam or Minuano anymore, he's just Samuel Rodrigues relying on his arts and cyborg arm. A human without a cause, without a goal but when Sam reclaims his Katana as the vocals kick back in, he gives in to the hopelessness and embraces what he's become now. Legendary game and we don't make em like we used to.

[@guesty924]

I like to think his music has speakers that play music and when he drops it, its muffled because its far way. My evidence is when Sam records himself into the blade. And btw, this happens in the armstrong fight too.

[@danielstatler954]

Alternate explanation is that, Sam is addicted to battle as his coping mechanism. When he has his sword, he does have to think to much about the fight and keeps thinking about "why I'm standing here holding my blade" or how his life has always been bloodshed. When he loses his blade he has to concentrate on the fight and his concerns about his state of life and past are lost in thought.

[@polkadi]

Since Raiden uses Sam's sword in the final battle, this same thing happens. For as long as you hold the sword, the vocals play. But when Raiden loses the sword, the song becomes an instrumental. To add onto this, It Has To Be This Way only starts playing for the first time in the final battle when Raiden gets Sam's sword, and the vocals correlate to how Raiden begins to understand why Sam gives himself into battle, and that he is no different after all. Raiden and Sam are more alike than they think.

[@omarenriquez6094]

him picking his sword back up is sort of like him forfeiting his indiependance, after getting his ass kicked by raiden despite his best efforts on his own he feels like he needs to go back and rely on his fathers sword again. before getting his ass kicked again anyways

[@Piromysl359]

This is more then just an amazing song. It serves as crucial characterisation of Sam's character. Throughout the game Sam presents himself as a cheeky and laid-back antagonist. Lyrics of this song conveys what actually is happening in his head. That he is on verge of losing sanity and already lost his sense of self by being basically forced to commit villainy. His cheeky persona is just a coping mechanisms. Obviously, he cannot afford to convey this directly with words, that deep inside he is battling even greater demons most of us cannot even imagine, because that would be out of character for him honestly, nobody would teke him seriously. That's where lyrics come in. During first encounter this song is purely instrumental, during final encounter we get the full scope. This is the reason why he was willing to relinquish his sword to Raiden should he defeat him. A final attempt at redemption. Truly a masterpiece.

@@focalpoint._ Compare mgs2 plot and MGR plot Mgs2 is one of the deepest plot ever made in videogame history. But althought MGR is actually good, the thruth is that is quite more about the gameplay that the narrative and the combination of mechanics inside the game. If you have ever played mgs1-mgs4, you can't literally say that mgsr has better history. The humanity in every character in mgs1, the complicated manipulation of media and ideology in mgs2, the complex lie in history shown in mgs3, and the astonish conclusion that is mgs4. MGR is not Bad, but talking about narrative and immersión through gameplay, Mgs franchise is WAY better, not for nothing is one of the most influiential games in history. MGR, as I said, is good, the music is amazing, but compared with the franchise that gave it live in form of spin off, is really not that good. I trully enjoyed MGR, like a Lot, but just because something gets popular, doesnt mean is one of the best things in industry, specialy considering where it came from.

Samuel Rodrigues is a Japanese-Brazilian. He learned the ways of his father's blade. He fought for justice, driven by his own senses. He was once like Raiden. He was considered a Samurai, and he was. He was honorable, always did what his heart felt was morally correct. But from 2016, he was becoming less and less of what he stood for. In his last minutes, fighting Raiden 1 on 1 like a Cowboy Duel, no dirty tricks, Samurai Honor, Sam was the one thing he swore to destroy the night Armstrong recruited him. He was, at heart, fighting for morally corrupted and wrong people, destroying anyone who opposed him. The mountain refers to success. As he climbs it, he loses the past to being a tool of Desperado, the Winds of Destruction. He grew to hate himself, and was wallowing in agony, and misery, knowing what he was fighting for was wrong. He only knows how to fight and kill, not why. He lost his sense of honor and his sense of being a Samurai. He honorably gifted Raiden his blade following his defeat at Raiden's hand. Raiden did what Sam couldn't; kill Armstrong. He died knowing Raiden would fight on. Each member represented some sort of part of Raiden. Mistral represents his past as a child soldier in a civil war. Monsoon embodies Raiden's true personality and mind, a killer cyborg who longs to fight his own war. Sundowner has Raiden's cruelty, his bloodlust. And Sam embodied what Raiden _was_ before they fought. Sam was honorable, protected the weak, and destroyed corruption wherever he could. But Raiden eventually caved in, and chose to leave Maverick and fight his personal war against World Marshal and Desperado's surviving members. Unlike the other WoD, Sam felt far more equal to Raiden. Sundowner had to use dirty tricks and, to some extent, run. Mistral had to use minions. Monsoon used vehicles and threw them. Sam, on the other hand, didn't do anything. He fought Raiden, 1 on 1, a swordfight of two swordsmen. Sam was his equal. But upon killing Sam, Raiden discovered that he had no cybernetic enhancements other than is right arm, which was replaced after Armstrong basically destroyed it. Sam was literally a VERY talented swordmaster with a nano-suit. That's it. Hardly a cyborg. If he was, safe to say, Raiden could have lost if he wasn't in Ripper Mode. In summary, Sam was Raiden's equal. He was somewhat corrupted, wallowing in his own agony. Raiden liberated Sam from it all. Sam grew to hate himself and what he was. His sword is what made Sam, well, Sam. Without it, he was a skilled martial artist who could hold his own. Sam's death was not in vain.

I have returned and the man in the mirror still nods his head to this song

[@PumkRock]

Honestly, this entire game was what sold me on the idea of "based cringe". It's so fucking hammy and cheesy, it might as well be a sandwich. But it's also so sincere and on point- that you stop caring how dumb it "should feel" to a casual audience. You come to the realisation that this inarguably dumb shit is also cool as fuck- and if you are some kind of lame nerd for thinking that- who fucking cares?, this is both hilarious and awesome at the same time. The presentation of this game is like some kind of cheesy anime where a flagrant rule-of-cool is the name of the game, but the themes being tackled by the narrative are genuinely politically subversive on some kind of accessible, entry level basis. And every song is an absolute banger in exactly the same way

[@alicemalice2597]

Very well put!

I can’t be the only one who doesn’t see this as “dumb” or “cheesy” but just straight up cool lol. It seems like no one can compliment this game without saying it’s cheesy or silly.

The lyrics of this track aligns with Sam's character perfectly. Pure art. This game is a fucking masterpiece, man. I will forever hate Konami for not making a sequel to Metal Gear Rising.

[@kokomello2858]

And since Kojima is not even there anymore there may even not be any, except if they want to just milk the franchise in a shitty way

[@denisskenderovic3707]

I have a dream that, one day, KONAMI will surprise us with Metal Gear RR2 and maybe Metal Gear VI.

[@niko1600]

@@kokomello2858 Kojima didn't direct this game though. An MGR2 is still unlikely because Konami hates making videogames
