Why does Raiden have barcodes on him?

the same reason chips have barcodes on them

Because it looks cool.

Scanned Raidens  barcode came back as a can of beans.

Because he's my bitch and I like to keep my bitches in check.

That reminds me, where is that little hooker? It's time to he gave me my money.

Because at Wal Greens you can get 4 Raidens for $10, or $2.89 seperately.

That way they can sell the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 5 Raiden action figures without packaging.

Saves billions in merchandising.

Because he is Agent 47

To break the stupid trend,I think the patriots put them on him while they were testing on him.

Because a Japanese artist drew him, and anything that has to do with cyborgs in anime-land is plastered with barcodes.

He's so indie, he has a bar code tattoo.

Cos he's a tool. We got shitloads of them at B&Q
