It never really occured to me until now that the Monsoon fight and the "I'm lightning" scene from MGS4 share their thematic core. In both, Raiden is heavily damaged, either mentally or physicaly. But by having someone else change his perspective, either Snake or Sam, he is able to overcome this hurdle and become closer to his true self. Adding to this, a monsoon is a wind that causes severe rain, like what Raiden describes happened during his birth. Meaning by questioning his morals and letting go of his restrains, he is "reborn" in a sense, being the lightning that splits the rain. Both figurativly and very literaly
Possibly the second best boss in the game, other than NANOMACHINES, SON!, due to the fact that it takes a game mechanic that people probably didn't use much up to that point, and makes you a master of it in just a single fight.
this is seriously the point in the game that says "LEARN HOW TO GET GOOD" then you get sam soon after and he asked. " OKAY FINAL TEST TIME. YOU GOOD YET?"\
you're right before the fight with Moonsoon I never used the parry because y'know Raiden is powerful af and I didn't thought that the parry was important until this fight 💀
To me it's the best boss fight just beacuse of the build-up and the fact monsoon is fighting a fully awakened Jack the Ripper, and he actually stands his ground.
@@2bdefault16x Parry is the most effective thing in the game and it never explains how to use it, expecting you to figure it out or die brutally. I didn't realize you had to flick the stick to trigger it, and after I did, I no damaged every boss on Hard.

People saying that this boss fight is what made them learn parrying, but in my case it was Sam's. I completed monsoon fight without parry and or dodge parry so uh.
Parrying tutorial never had better soundtrack
Accurate
“What will you do now, Jack the Ripper!?”
Jack: *”DEAD ON!”*
you're right
Neither has a tutorial boss

Make "It Has To Be This Way Orchestral version" or sing it either way you earn a medal :D
