The final rocket is supposed to have 5 or 9 raptors if I’m not mistaken.

The starship (what we saw yesterday) should have 3 sea level and 3 vacuum Raptors. The booster is currently scheduled to have 28 Raptors (some of which are fixed and some which can gimbal) although these numbers are subject to change depending on what kind of performance they can achieve in the end.
I think it’s more like 30
That's for the booster/Super Heavy right? This Starship is only the second stage of an even more ginormous rocket.
