[Raidou stands back, sword held defensively in front of him as the transformation takes place. He's not letting his guard down for a moment.
He's fought things bigger and scarier than this. Things that threatened the very fabric of his city and his world. The stakes here were not so high. This is a battle that's meant to be savored, instead. The fact that Godzilla had to stop to revert to his true self is an encouraging sign to Raidou that he's on track to winning this. That he's showing his opponent just how strong and capable he truly is. Godzilla wanted to see that rage and passion from within this kid, and he's getting it.
Raidou's true self is just that, with the downside of being too reckless. He's never concerned with his own safety, even in a personal battle like this one without others to protect. When Godzilla tells him to not hold back, a grin flashes briefly across his face as he rushes the kaiju again. Look at all the weaponry his opponent has to bring just to fight him, a teenage boy with a sword.
In this form, Godzilla is a bigger target, but he's going to be harder to hurt, and his weapon only has a longer reach now. A challenge, to be sure. His best bet is to move faster than Godzilla can keep up with. Although there's a tail to contend with, his plan to move to Godzilla's back for attacks. Or so it seems, anyway. In the long run, his plan is to keep moving around his larger opponent, feinting and dodging attacks while making shallower ones himself. A plan to tire out and confuse his enemy as to where he might go next, and use that to his advantage to find an opening.]
