I don't think Raiden's resemblance to Raikov would be mentioned. Raikov played a minor role in the Metal Gear Solid franchise, contrary to the role of Big Boss. Besides, the "Post Big Shell" section of Raiden's wiki biography states that he was drinking heavily and getting into fights. So, I think that his appearance might look more weary and serious due to his alcohol addiction, the opposite of the androgynous look he had in Metal Gear Solid 2, probably making it hard for EVA to recognize him. I sure hope they do so. I am among them fans who highly disliked Raiden's girlish look, and I was glad Kojima gave him the chance to redeem it.
