Lord wise, Raiden wouldn’t have been able to use the HF blade to its full potential since there’s no cyborgs for him to kill, but also this takes place in like 1978, Raiden knew it wasn’t the greatest idea to use a weapon of the future since people of this era could analyze the HF wounds and create HF blades early
