Trivia

• During its initial release, Fleeting Raiju was meant to always be used after   Forked Raiju, making the Ninja awkward in some encounters due to the two sequential forced gap-closers with long animation locks. This was changed in 6.05, and now either Fleeting Raiju and Forked Raiju can be interchangeably used after Raiton.
