Insane theory that I can't believe I haven't spotted. I knew something kept bothering me about MGS5 but not to this degree. Kudos my friend, what an amazing video that manages to impress even the most hardcore fans.

Curiosity: Solid Snake didn't die after MGS4, that was Irosquis Pliskin disguising himself as Old Snake while the real one was in a coma after smoking 500 cigarettes.

Why is ezio auditore explaining to me how snake is fox hound

Damn, that “I have no name” hits way harder now. I always thought grey fox said that because that’s how he felt about himself but he’s not fuckin lying 😮

"lol no way this is real"
Remembers the Gray Fox skin that always felt out of place in mgsv
"Oh shit..."

I love that it's 2025 and we're all still fascinated by metal gear.

I feel like hideo Kojima is just been screaming at us with the truth of who venom snake is.

This game looks more like a modern AAA game than actual modern AAA games.

my 2 cents is that the ocelot part where he talks about the hallucinations happened, but not there in paz's room, the player is transposing the event happened in another location
it's very plausible for someone with multiple personalities to even confuse time itself, losing track of it, which makes sense since we literally pass the time smoking an electric cigar for hours on end without even moving

I feel like that the remakes of MG1 and MG2:SS are the missing link to the whole Venom Snake deal.

The true Phantom Pain.

Today I'm partying like it's 2014 again. Thanks, PythonSelkan

Kojima: releases an unfinished game full of plot holes
Metal gear fans:

Gotta say, we're all taking the doctor at his word that V was in a coma for 9 years. For someone that gets reset constantly, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't the first time in that span he had woken up.

Only you guys can make me watch 1h30 of a game that, like the big boss himself, refuses to die.

They should have had David Hayters voice at the end of MGSV when you hear the Real Big Boss

The fact that Gray Fox cuts off Ocelot’s arm in MGS1… the man who gave HIM a cyborg arm in The Phantom Pain.. 🤯

I like this theory. Mostly for the fact that it gives punished snake a more worthy death. Him just getting killed off as a nonchalant body double feels a bit soul crushing when you get to see this character grow in his own game. Him having such a sendoff in mgs1 as greyfox feels so much better. And more poetic. Him dying on a mission he chose of his own will. After years of living in another man's shadow. He can finally die his own man

The problem with Timeline issues, is that Fox was the one who found Naomi, and was the highest ranking member of FOXHOUND, which Big Boss started. If V woke up in 1984, and Naomi was picked up by her Adoptive Brother Sometime in the 1980s, if Fox was V, then Fox needed to either be not-comatose to pick up his sister, or gave up the title of Big Boss Shortly after Phantom Pain, got surgery to un Big-Bossify himself, in order to get Naomi. Also as the Timeline does match up for everyone but V to the real world, The Rhodesian Bush War, the Civil War in which Naomi's Parents died by Frank Jaeger's Hands, was between 1964 and 1979. Naomi is supposed to be in her 30s in MGS and 40s in MGS4, meaning she'd be born mid 1970s. But this is a Moot point, as the MGS4 TImeline lists Naomi's parents as murdered by Frank Jaeger in 1979, 4 years into the Coma, and 5 years before the reawakening. Then, the MGS4 Database, agrees with the Codec call in MG2 Solid Snake, that the Big Boss has a Missing Right Arm, Right Eye and Feet that were replaced with Cybernetics. but in MGS4 itself, When Big Boss stops Old Snake from ending the Foxdie Threat, he has None of the Cybernetics. Now if he had grafted Solidus' arms and Legs that answers it, but I think there's a different error here.

Also... The Fox is V theory breaks down even further. Snake in MGS4 states he trained CQC with Big Boss, and in MGS1 he says that Fox helped him alot in FOXHOUND. The Reason Fox goes back to Big Boss is because Unlike NATO who bombed Outer Heaven to ash, Big Boss came back and dug out Frank and all his surviving Soldiers. It's the same reason that Madnar defected to Big Boss's side too. Before Big Boss came out of the wood work to save who he could, he was the LEADER of FOXHOUND until 1972, coming back to lead in 1992, until 1995 when he sent Rookie Solid Snake to infiltrate Outer Heaven. Now, if the Shadow Moses Incident could teach us anything. The Leader of FOXHOUND Operations would be in a Command Ship located Near the Operation Zone (Roy, Naomi and Mei Ling were all on the Vessel that launched Snake to Shadow Moses.) This means that The Real Big Boss was likely near by before he snuck out, letting his double, who was leading the operation while he was grooming FOXHOUND to fail, take the fall by accident. He arrived too late, saving everyone from the bombed out craters, taking them to Zanzibarland. All of this set up to ask this: If Fox was V, then who was leading Outer Heaven while both Big Boss and Gray Fox were training Snake, during the short 3 years prior to the Outer Heaven Uprising?

The Dr. Clark death time changing is something that is very easily explained by the story itself. Not only has Naomi lied to get into her position, lied to get her FoxDIE into Solid Snake, and lied to literally everyone she can in MGS4 so she could kill herself with Vamp, so she's already an unreliable narrator. But if her timeline is "Accepted Truth," the faked Death of Dr. Clark can certainly be attributed to the Patriots hiding her. Her actual death, with escape by Fox, being the same year as the Shadow Moses Incident makes way more sense, as what was Fox doing in those two years? You know, the man who was driven insane by the drugs and the pain into causing huge body counts pretty much everywhere he goes?

The Passport issue is.... Childish? "The Fake Passport has an incorrect date on it!" Of COURSE it does. That's how FAKES work. And why would they not use a Date Stamp that is during the Coma, causing the people looking at his FAKE PASSPORT to not look at him twice, because the dates don't match up to someone who was Comatose during that time. At that point in time, His Fake Passport was a collaborative Effort of Mr. Quintuple Agent Revolver Adamska Shalasaska Ocelot, Mr I haven't told a single goddamn truth Master Kaz Kazuhiro Miller, and the creator of Cipher Mr. Null Zero... Who here actually believed any information that was listed on it? If so, I got a special oil here that will make you immortal. One vial only, enough for one person, price is $500,000 USD.

“A detour on his way to hell” a long detour. Becoming a tool to be used to control, manipulate, and kill. I can’t help but think of the line “I’m already a demon”

I can't believe i never noticed the Gray Fox skin has got Snake face instead of Frank 😅
