The Bleeding Prophet, Bloodshot, and Rai connection??
Another guess at the possible connections between the bleeding prophet which Harada seeks out in Harbinger, and Bloodshot/Rai!
Maybe the bleeding man isn't a prophet... maybe his blood just contains nanites with files containing history stretching who knows how far into the future! He doesn't prophesy, he just tells what his files show is going to happen in the upcoming future. Because the blood was taken from the future back to the past at some point after having lived through it once in Bloodshot and maybe Rai (or many Rai's) as well!?!?
What do you all think? How would that be for a way to tie them all together in one neat bundle?

Re: The Bleeding Prophet, Bloodshot, and Rai connection??
This is a good theory. It would also mean Harada is likely involved in Project Rising Son, or whatever they decide to call the program that creates bloodshot. It would make sense. I always thought there should be a greater connection between Harada, Rising Sun and Rai. Just makes too much sense for there not to be.

I think it's possible that the original Rai could be in the past and the Bleeding Monk is him. Maybe the blood keeps him alive until he can pass it on.

Re: The Bleeding Prophet, Bloodshot, and Rai connection??
I have been thinking the same thing ever since they first showed the bleeding monk but the question is is he from the past or was he placed in the past from the future and jesus isnt this much nicer to talk about instead of when is there going to be a new book.Phoenix8008 wrote:Another guess at the possible connections between the bleeding prophet which Harada seeks out in Harbinger, and Bloodshot/Rai!
