very Foundation of society big boss's Legacy is mully faceted as the man himself so join us on a journey for this history as we uncover the Enigma of big boss a leader whose story transcends the boundaries of heroism and villainy reminding us that the line between greatness and tyranny is often blurred throughout the Metal Gear series Big Boss challenges the established order of the world which he is often dominated by governments and superpowers he questions the morality and the motivations Behind these power structures and seeks to create his own independent Vision free from external influence and the powers that be unlike conventional Heroes of villains Big Boss embodies a complex morality he's neither purely good nor purely evil but rather a product of his circumstances his actions are driven by a desire for survival revenge and ultimately his vision of a world where soldiers are truly [Music] [Music] free during the Cold War the competition between the superpowers extended Beyond military capabilities and into various spheres including technology and space exploration the Space Race a noticeable facet of the Cold War exemplified this rivalry as both Nations sought to demonstrate their scientific and technological prowess by reaching Milestones such as launching satellites sending probes to over celestial bodies and ultimately Landing humans on the moon where Nations amongst the world are trying to achieve their own world order the very backdrop in which Metal Gear Solid free is set serves into something that big boss would be a part of and in fact it would be the driving narrative to expand exactly why he himself resented being a part of the geopolitical environments and from his very beginning mission in operation Snak heater starting as a noble foot soldier to becoming himself a leader and having a strong voice on world affairs which would navigate him through the complexities of of taking up such role within the very backdrop of the Cold War is what would shape big boss to become the man that he would be tied into a complex system and considered an enemy to the superpowers amongst the world and a threat to their very organizations which shape a nation big boss would be the enemy of the existence of nuclear superpowers that has altered the Dynamics of global politics shaping alliances conflicts and the Pursuits of peace throughout operation sneak eater Big Boss questions his loyalties and know exactly he really is serving his loyalties too and would come to resent playing the pawn to superpowers narratives that shape a country something at the time that big boss would question to find his true purpose and loyalties as a soldier out in the field one thing that his beloved disciple the boss would truly understand I can't teach you how to think you'll just have to figure it out for yourself listen to me Jack just because soldiers are on the same side right now doesn't mean they always will be having personal feelings about your comrades is one of the worst sins you can commit politics determine who you face on the battlefield and politics are a living thing they change along with the times yesterday's good might be tomorrow's e a soldier has to follow whatever orders he's given it's not his place to question why but you're looking for a reason to fight you are a natural born fighter but you're not quite a soldier a so Soldier is a political tool nothing more the horrors of War are etched in Blood and suffering with governments often at the forefronts of perpetuating unspeakable atrocities from ancient conflicts to Modern Warfare the actions of rulers and regimes have left the trail of Devastation and despair in their wake governments have also wed the tools of war with ruthless efficiency unleashing violence upon civilian populations committing acts of genocide and perpetuating widespread human rights abuses the atrocities of Wars know no bounds transcending borders and ideologies as our power hunger leader pursues their agendas at any cost throughout history we have witnessed the barbarity of governments from the systematic extermination of millions during the Holocaust to the indiscriminate bombing of Civilian populations in conflicts such as World War II Vietnam and Syria these acts of aggressions and oppression leave scars that endure for Generations tearing apart families communities and entire nations including soldiers themselves big boss is the perfect example of being victimized within this geopolitical environment being used nothing more as a tool for the United States government to fulfill their agendas world leaders have often employed propaganda censorship to conceal their atrocities manipulating the public perception and obsa the truth from the suppression of a disine to the Distortion of historical narratives it's always been the case that the Machinery of State propaganda serves to sanitize the brutality and the reality of war and justifies anus hacks committed in the name of national interest where loyalties are bound to the systems through Conformity of the propaganda machine all of which are all the things that big boss would question throughout his mission we' been conflicted within determining where his loyalties truly lie and beginning to understand the realities of the ugly truth of the political spectrum and how really it affects everybody what about you jack what's it going to be loyalty to your country or loyalty to me your country or your old Mentor the mission or your beliefs your duty to your unit or your personal feelings there's a higher purpose driving big boss forward the prevention of allout nuclear war as a pawn in a deadly game big boss must navigate treacherous terrain facing not only formidable enemies but also the moral dilemas that come with his mission for big boss success isn't just about personal Glory or victory over his adversaries it's about safeguarding the future of humanity the Spectre of nuclear Annihilation looms large and every decision he makes carries weight not just for himself but for the World At Large as the viewer we see big boss's challenges that they're not just witnessing a fictional Heroes story they're grappling with real world implications of a global conflicts and sacrifices required to prevent these catastrophes very such catastrophes that are created by such political events which is ever so relevant in the world that we live today where different nations across the globe still find themselves in meaningless competition in order to become the main powerful superpower yesterday's Ally becomes today's opposition and this cold war think back when I was leading the cobras America and Russia were fighting together now consider whether America and Russia will still be enemies in the 21st century somehow I doubt it enemies change along with the times the flow of the ages and we soldiers are forced to play along instances of corruption inevitably emerged as individuals and institutions sought to exploit the circumstances for personal gain at the highest levels of government politicians and military leaders made decisions influenced by personal ambition political expend or financial interest as was the case for the Philosopher's Legacy the amass of [Music] funds prior to the events in 1964 vulgan learned of the Philosopher's Legacy following his father's death and illegally inherited a microfilm containing records of the enormous cache of funds vulgan conspired with the bref faction anti-government groups and the military to overthrow Cru Chef's regime and power via installing leonet breznev and Alexi kosin in his place vulgan later used the Legacy as well as the help faction led by breznev to construct The grrad Fortress in the mountains he wanted to dispose kusf heat up the Cold War and win it in favor of Russia and unite the world under the USSR Banner from this moment on in the Cold War it really was a race between ideologies such as communism and capitalism unbeknown to the US fired an americanmade daav Crockett at sof's research facility destroying it in a nuclear explosion as he felt they no longer had any use for it and framing the US for the whole ordeal and knowing that this would spark the Cold War all that much more with crues out of the way also the US might have had their questionable stance within a controversy that surrounds President Kennedy's death one of the most controversial and heavily debated events in modern America history while the official narrative points to Le roswald as being the lone gunman many theories suggest a deeper more Sinister plot involving elements within the US government of the heart of these theories lies the notion of a shadow government or a powerful group of people within the intelligence community and military industrial complex who sought to remove Kennedy from Power the reasons behind such plot may vary but no doubt may be just the same as what Colonel vulgan intended by distinguishing the very peaceful treaties of what kusf and Kennedy had achieved by pulling nuclear missiles out of Cuba and forming a peaceful resolution between the United States and Russia Kennedy's presidency was marked by numerous clashes within the military and intelligence establishment within the United States He famously clashed with the CIA over the Baya Pigs invasion and sought to reduce the agency's influence following the botched operation 1961 I was sent to Cuba toaya deinos it was part of a the CIA sponsored Invasion under the guise of taking Cuban Exiles back to their country but the US government betrayed them our weak needed president held back their air support defenseless the Exiles were annihilated by the Cuban Army all I could do was watch in silence I was set up by the very country I'd sacrificed so much for by the very government I dedicated my life to defending additionally Kennedy's advocacy for nuclear dis arance and his reluctant to escalate military intervention in Vietnam earned him enemies within the military industrial complex Kennedy's desire for greater transparency and cooperation with the Soviet Union as evidence by the Cuban Missile Crisis and his attempts to dant may have irked Hardline events and elements within the government who favored a more aggressive approach to the Cold War just like that of the Soviet Union and yet you say it was not acting under your orders that's correct you expect me to believe that this was all the work of a single soldier I don't know what else to tell you the Army insists that this is all a ploy on your part I've said it once and I'll say it again our government had nothing to do with it and I would like dearly to believe you however I'm afraid my power over the military has weakened since the Cuban incident I will need some kind of proof that this was not the action of the American government what if we can't prove our innocence then I will be unable to restrain the military I will be ousted and they will seek their Revenge a nuclear attack on the United States I leave the disposal of this situation Inta irely to your discretion Mr President disposal if you fail it will mean the beginning of a new world war in the decades following Kennedy's assassination a pleora of conspiracy theories have emerged pointing out to possible involvements of politics and governments by Rogue elements within the CIA the mafia or even foreign governments while concrete evidence supports these fairies that remains elusive lingering doubts are in Kennedy's death speaking to the enduring Legacy of mistrust within governments institutions and the belief in Hidden forces shaping world events the very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies to secret Oaths and to secret procedings and there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased East Security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official sensorship and concealment that I do not intend to permit to the extent that it's in my control and no official of my Administration whether his rank is high or low civilian or military should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to sensor the news to stifle dissent to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know for we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covet means for expanding its feere of influence on infiltration instead of invasion on subversion instead of Elections on intimidation instead of free choice in medle gear solid we see a very common pattern amongst characters within the game that are considered the antagonists or anti-heroes for those who are wishing to shape World Order and the constructive economical events and civilization as a whole Colonel vulgan would be no exception of course neighborwood Big Boss only to come within the timeline of metal gear of his story video kajima has shed the spotlight on many events circulating the corruption from within even governments betraying their own establishments to gain their own power and influence Metal Gear Solid exemplifies the political nature that massively goes overlooked a lot of the times we question is if the presidents that we have in the United States or any other country in the world is nothing more than a figurehead a tool for the governmental Elite for their own agendas greed powers and profits and the conscription of soldiers that are used nothing more as an asset to further their goals we can see this is demonstrated in Metal Gear S free as big boss finally understands the true nature of his very own government and within it the corrupt of the CIA that continues to Fester within the political [Applause] [Music] world you know we could use an infiltration unit like fox in the army someone like him to handle our top secret sneaking missions for us a man who combines the qualities of a soldier and an agent the boss's defection was a ruse set up by the US government it was all a big drama staged by Washington so they could get their hands on the Philosopher's Legacy and the boss was the star of the show they planned it so that they could get the Legacy that Colonel vulgan inherited and and destroy the shago Hut at the same time only a legendary hero like the boss could have earned vul's trust finding out where the Philosopher's Legacy was hidden was to be her greatest Mission everything was going according to plan as the legendary Soldier known as Big Boss grappled with the aftermath of the boss's death he found himself on a path of profound transformation the loss of his mentor and mother figure shattered his world view and left him questioning everything he once believed in haunted by guilt and betrayal big boss's grief soon turned to anger and resentment towards governments and institutions he once served in his eyes that they had sacrificed the boss a true patriot and hero for the sake of a political expend this disillusionment with authority would shape big boss's future trajectory leading him down a dark and trous path becoming a leader in his own right no longer bound by the constraints of loyalty or Allegiance he forged his own path determined to create a world where soldiers like him self were free from the machinations of governments and ideologies however Big Boss embraced his role as a leader his methods became increasingly ruthless and morally ambiguous he became willing to sacrifice anything and anyone in pursuit of his vision even if it meant betraying those closest to him but this would just be the beginning of his journey to combat governments and Nations to give a place where soldiers are [Music] needed [Music] in Metal Gear Solid portable Ops Big Boss emerges as a central figure in the midst of the sanano incident showcasing his prowess as a leader and a strategist task with fting a rogue factions plot Fox his former unit and Jean being the leader to create a new world order Big Boss assumes command of a rack tag group of soldiers forging them into a formidable Force capable of taking on the enemy in this pivotal moment Big Boss demonstrates his leadership skills by rallying his comrades and instilling a sense of purpose and unity amongst them despite facing overwhelming odds and betrayal from within he remains Resolute in his mission inspiring loyalty and camarad along his followers big boss's actions in portable Ops highlight his willingness to defy conventional norms and Forge alliances with unlikely allies by assisting the Soviet Union Soldiers he showcases pragmaticism and strategic acumin recognizing that sometimes the enemy of the your enemy can become a valuable Ally in the context of the San Haruno incident big boss's decision to save the Soviet Union from nuclear destruction exemplifies his commitment to broader ideals of peace and stability despite being a former soldier of the United States He prioritizes the greater good over national interests demonstrating his capacity for empathy and compassion even in the midst of conflict ultimately big boss's leadership and portable op serves as The Testament to his adaptability and resourcefulness and moral complexity through his actions he is not the only one as emerges as a formidable Warrior but also a Visionary leader willing to challenge the status quo and Forge his own path in the pursuit of a better world importable Ops Gene the charismatic leader of the Renegade group known as Fox unit emerges as a formidable adversary to Big Boss Jean's ultimate goal is to create a world free from the shackles of government control and manipulation similar to big boss where soldiers like himself can live and fight as they see fit at first glance Jean's Vision may seem similar to big boss's own ideals of the soldiers autonomy and freedom from political manipulation however their approaches to achieving this goal differ significantly while Big Boss seeks to create a world where soldiers are truly free to choose their own path Jean's methods are more authoritarian manipulative he seeks to control and manipulate soldiers for the use of a powerful mind control device which he believes will enable him to to create the perfect Army and Achieve his vision of world domination ultimately Jean's goals and his conflict with big boss serve to further Define and shape the latter's character pushing him to reaffirm his own ideas and values in the face of adversity though their Clash big boss is forced to confront the complexities of leadership and moral ambiguity of his own actions ultimately emerging as a more nuanced and introspective figure the successor project no it was a top secret experiment conducted by the US government its goal to create the ultimate Battlefield Commander the skills to wage war the aptitude for strategy the endurance to return from Battle alive and the Charisma to overwhelm and master the hearts of soldiers my voice is endowed with a special power another product of the successor project and the soldier they chose as the model leader was none other than the legend herself the boss the boss I received these gifts I inherited them snake you inherited the title of boss you were her last disciple you and I are like brothers and as such I couldn't possibly kill you now make yourself comfortable brother at the end of Ops big boss would establish foxhound Big Boss seeks to create a force that is capable of operating independently all from government oversight embodying his vision of a world where soldiers have the autonomy to shape their own Destinies with assembling a team of elite operatives Big Boss lays the groundwork for a new era of military operations one defined by agility Innovation and Independence however as Fox Hound takes shape we also see the seeds of Discord sewn within its ranks the Divergent ideologies and personal Ambitions of its members including the likes of Gray Fox and Roy Campbell foreshadowing the conflicts and betrayals that will come to define the unit's Legacy in later installments of the Metal Gear series big boss's decision to join forces with major zero and becoming a key figure in Cipher the shadowy organization manipulating Global affairs from behind the scenes adds another layer of the complexity to Big boss's character while initially line with Zero's goals of creating a unified World governed by information control big boss's eventual disillusionment with Cipher of mephs and betrayal by his former Ally will set the stage for his eventual descent and the formation of outer heaven but portable Ops would be the door that would open for Big Boss establishing his very first connection to Branch out his military prowess into becoming a leader get out of here snake and take this with you what's this the equipment person El and funds I amassed in secret to build Army's Heaven all the data is stored on that film no one else knows about it why are you giving me this because you and I are the same someday you'll be glad you have it the one who fights and survives must Carry On The Legacy such is Our Fate ghost snake I've said everything I need to you are the one who will inherit my genes you are the true successor be loyal to yourself at the end of portable Ops Jean gave Big Boss funds to finance his own military Nation but we know that portable Ops is meant to be considered not canon to the story even though it's widely referenced in peace Walker and Metal Gear Solid 4 so it's debatable whether or not this is really Canon given on the fact that in peace Walker big boss seems to have a very tough time establishing msf But Me Myself and others speculate that it was just enough funds to get msf started up until he met K with the death of Jean big boss would continue Army's heaven but with his own ideals but still carrying some of the legacy of what jean gave because the two of them shared the similar goals and similar paths the question is who was big boss still loyal to was it himself was it his unit maybe it was both ultimately big boss's loyalty is multifaceted it's an aspect of his character and it's shaped by his experiences relationships and personal convictions and while he may prioritize his own ideals and aspirations his actions are driven by a deeper sense of Judy and honor whether to himself his comrades or the greater good as he perceives it but one thing that we would know that would change later down his life has been a military leader or perhaps maybe even a dictator so what will you do now snake I don't know but I've realized something what's that I'm not living unless I'm in battle so I have to find my own reason to fight I have to pass on what's been handed down to [Music] me take care snake we'll meet again someday Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker we witnessed Big Boss grappling with the IM responsibility of leadership in a world teetering on the brink of nuclear Annihilation as the founder of military San froners he's not just a soldier but a commander tasked with guiding his troops through a Labyrinth of Deceit and danger the central conflict of Peace Walker revolves around the development of a nuclear equipped AI Peace Walker designed to ensure Global Peace for the threats of mutually assured destruction Big Boss finds himself at the heart of the crisis forced to confront the very real possibility of nuclear war and the role of his own organization plays in escalating tensions in peace Walker big boss is confronted with a disturbing reality the cia's involvement in Costa Rica and the Sinister plot orchestrated by hot coldman a rogue operative within the agency it's a tale of betrayal manipulation and the dangerous allore of unchecked power Costa Rica a seemingly peaceful Nation becomes the unsuspecting backdrop for a shadowy game of Espionage and Intrigue under the guise of Aid and development projects the CIA establishes a presence in the country using it as a staging ground for covert operations and experiments cars plays a significant role in helping Big Boss establish this military Nation by being a right-hand man and a commander alongside the boss to guide him through the world of the economy and how to set up this new nation and explaining the very details of what msf really is remember why we created msf snake to provide mil military force to whoever needs it wherever they are regardless of nation or ideology our beliefs aren't all that lofty we just won't be the tools of any one country exactly we know only how to fight but we refuse to live our lives at the whim of the state what about you guys any interest in expanding msf you'd better believe it I want to make us into an organization that doesn't take orders from any country just like you were saying we have to be strong strong enough to defend ourselves we need money too money to train soldiers to fight the way I see it we make msf into something along the lines of a new kind of business a contract to providing the full range of military services not just combat but Logistics training weapons outfitting and R&D combining the small footprint and exceptional performance of Special Forces with the raw military might of a full regular army only with that kind of power can we break free of nation states so Big Boss faces the daunting challenge of building and sustaining a nation in the form of military Sam froners with limited resources and a mly crew of soldiers as he embarks on his journey to transform his vision into a reality one of the most crucial aspects of nation building is ensuring the basic needs of the population are met and for big boss on msf this means securing Food Supplies in the lust jungles of Costa Rica where msf has established its base of operations just outside in the Caribbean big boss and his soldiers employ a variety of methods to gather food ranging from hunting and forging to cultivating crops but big boss's Ambitions extend beyond mere survival he envisions msf as more than just a ragtag group of mercenaries to achieve true autonomy and Independence msf must become self-sufficient and economically viable and so big boss sets his sights on securing his military contracts offering msf services to the governments and organizing ations in need of military assistance by taking on these contracts msf not only earns the resources needed to sustain itself but also establish itself as a formidable force in the world of international military operations big boss's strategic Acumen and Leadership skills enable msf to tackle a wide range of missions from combat operations to intelligence gathering further solidifying its reputation and influence on the global stage big boss is an establishment he is a government in fact big boss would be the very inspiration behind the wide range of PMC soldiers in the coming future of the Metal Gear Solid franchise and with the up and cominging age of artificial intelligence the Cold War was still a thing and a thing that affected both big boss and cause Metal Gear Solid really sheds the spotlight on the Corruptions between nations all for power it's been more than 10 years since the Cuban Missile Crisis huh I don't think we'll ever forget it no kidding those 13 days starting October 15th 1962 were probably the closest we ever came to allout nuclear war the Russians deployed nuclear missiles to Cuba America responded with a naval blockade then Russia shot down an American spy plane I was still a teenager back then but I remember what it felt like to be one step away from nuclear war the adults were freaking out the CIA as you both know the United States views Central America as its backyard even after Cuba we've managed to maintain a delicate balance with the US and your government can just get them the boot we are not allowed to bear arms Japan's Constitution has something similar article 9 it says Japan renounces war and can't maintain an army I understand that you and your men have neither State nor ideology that you will fight any foe please you must drive them out of our defenseless country so big boss emerges as a Beacon of Hope for the defenseless nation of Costa Rica caught in the crosshairs of the corrupt cia's covert operations as a hero without a cape he leads his bands of soldiers to Costa Rica's Aid embodying the spirit in solidarity and resilience in a world where might often makes right Costa Rica's decision to announce war is a bold and principal stance against the tide of militarism and aggression yet without an army to defend itself the nation becomes vulnerable to exploitation by the nefarious forces like the CIA who seek to manipulate and control it for their own ends this point in Metal Gear Solid in peace Walker big boss is more or less a great leader someone to be inspired by as he wishes to free nations from control and corrupt and deceitful governments as he battles against the forces of tyranny and oppression Big Boss becomes a symbol of resistance and Defiance inspiring others to join him in the fight for a better world his actions remind us that true heroism isn't measured in Victory iies won or battles fought but in the courage to stand up and speak out against Injustice no matter the cost in the end big boss's heroism in assisting Costa Rica and defending against tyrannical leaders serves as a reminder of the power of one person to make a difference in the world he shows that even in the face of overwhelming odds a single individual can change the course of history and Inspire others to do the same but within the hypocrisy big boss's Reliance on military force and violence to achieve the vision of Peace despite advocating a world where soldiers are free from the control of governments and ideologies with this msf is be effectively becoming a warlord himself big boss's willingness to resort to Extreme Measures such as nuclear deterrence and the development of weapons of mass destruction raises the questions about the sincerity of his commitment to peace while he may justify these actions as necessary evils to deter aggression and maintain stability they ultimately perpetuate the cycle of violence and conflict that he claims to oppose because big boss would become a nuclear power himself and essentially would develop a nuclear weapon of his own by using Metal Gear as being the guard and being the very deterrent itself to oppose governments you know snake you're right as long as we're soldiers Without Borders we're going to be a Target we need our own deterrent yeah we're going to be stepping into a lot of different conflicts as we roam the world each one unique and with its own set of geography ideologies and politics if we're going to intervene in those kinds of situations we need the threat of a metal gear unless we want to end up like chuara did in Bolivia well said our army Without Borders doesn't have a land to call home we're Nomads Wanderers what we need now is a sheep dog to guard our flock right maybe it's not the way the boss would have gone about it but there are places in this world that need us whilst Big Boss may be guilty all the same as the rest of the other governments that have such power of tent it's a means to an end that big boss knows that he can capitalize on in order to deter Nations and corrupt governments from Invasion and exploitation given on the fact that he's now a military power he needs to be able to defend himself and to keep other orders within check and not to be ultimately victimized like Costa Rica which is a nation that can't defend itself essentially deterrence is a strategy employed by nuclear powers to prevent nuclear Conflict by threatening devastating retaliation in a response to an attack the is that the fear of a mutual destruction will dissuade adversaries from launching a nuclear strike thus maintaining a delicate balance of power and preventing allout War treaties such as the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons and various arms controls Agreements are international agreements aimed at limiting the spread of nuclear weapons and reducing the risk of nuclear war with the concept of mutually assured destruction known as mad is Central to the detor strategy mad points that the sheer destructive power of nuclear weapons makes any nuclear conflict unwinable as both sides would suffer catastrophic losses therefore the rational course of action for nuclear Powers is to avoid initiating a nuclear attack knowing that it will result in their own destruction whilst the Torrance is being credited for preventing nuclear war during the Cold War and Beyond it also carries significant risks and challenges the Reliance on nuclear weapons as a deterrent creates a constant threat of accidental or an intended escalation as well as the potential for deliberate acts of aggression or miscalculation they say nuclear weapons are the reason we haven't seen conflict on a global scale since World War II the thought that your opponent might launch nukes against you sort of makes it tough to start an armed conflict especially now that they've got intercontinental ballistic missiles nowhere is safe of course all that has caused military expenditures to Skyrocket well the only way to ward off a preemptive strike is to flaun your own nuclear stockpile and that's caused their number numers to increase exponentially not just with regards to destructive power but in terms of targeting technology too now they can hit a Target halfway across the world with pinpoint accuracy in a way the space race was a demonstration of that technological progress and as a result of all that we now have mutually assured destruction it's the ultimate form of deterrence no one's going to launch their nukes knowing they'll be obliterated in return I don't know the chance of somebody hitting the button by stake is never zero in the race for global domination hot coldman is a disillusioned CIA operative this guy is a central figure within Peace Walker one that threatens the very existence of the world itself and big boss's outfit he has a chilling vision for the future recognizing the potential of artificial intelligence to revolutionize Warfare Colman sets out to create a peace Walker an AI controlled nuclear weapon capable of enforcing peace for the threat of annihilation but behind Colman's facade of patriotism lies darker troops his willingness to sacrifice innocent lives and manipulate world events to achieve his own goals he's out of his mind what does he think's going to happen when they get hit by rain containing high concentrations of Fallout a lot of them will die from the external exposure alone the rain will seep into the ground contaminating the water supply and crops when they ingest the stuff the internal exposure starts antium 90 and cesium 137 have half lives of around 30 years the effects stay with you your entire life leukemia cataracts dermatitis cancer and it affects reproduction too I know even today 30 years after but the cia's involvement in Colman's plot is a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked power and the corrupting influence of secrecy and deception it's a betrayal of the principles of democracy and transparency as the government agencies pursue their own agendas at the expense of the public good humans are incapable of destroying themselves but an AI wouldn't hesitate to push the button precis making it the one real deter people hesitate lose their nerve isn't that why deterrence Theory works in the first place no machines don't make mistakes only men do that's why a fully automated mechanized deterrent like Peace Walker is needed once our system is embraced langle will again turn its attention to Latin America as the cockpit of the new Cold War Honduras Nicaragua Costa Rica Panama Peace Walker will be deployed along Central America's entire Caribbean coast all of North America South America and the West Indies will be within its range we bring long Law and Order to the entire continent not only cman but at the same time big boss's possession of a nuclear weapon makes him a target for over governments and Nations who view msf as a Potential Threat to global stability he must navigate for the delicate balance of power knowing that one wrong move could plunge the world into chaos big boss is no stranger to saving the world from allout nuclear catastrophe but at the same time he himself is a deterrent by holding nuclear weapons himself becomes a nuclear threet nonetheless Cipher the shadowy organization lurking in the corridors of power pulling the strings of governments and manipulating events from behind the scenes that's Cipher a secrety entity far-reaching connections and a pen chart for orchestrating chaos to further its own agenda and also within Costa Rica which becomes a pawn in Cipher's game Cipher's control over the United States isn't overe explicit it operates behind the scenes pulling the strings and exerting pressure to advance its own agenda through a combination of Co s and blackmail and subtle manipulation Cipher infiltrates government agencies and influences decision-making processes to serve its own goals key figures within the US government from high ranking officials lawmakers are unwittingly or willingly co-opted by Cipher becoming Pawns in the grand scheme of the geopolitical chess Cipher control isn't just limited to government it extends into the Realms of Industry finance and media the very organization that would be a massive threat to Big Boss bnst to him Cipher manipulates events to frame msf for a nuclear attack trying to Blackmail big boss to join the very outfit casting big boss as the villain in a desperate bid to maintain its grip on power Zeke is already in nuclear strike mode what I'm taking the weapon you built and using it to launch a nuclear strike on the east coast of the United States you're insane what are you after but wait here is your consolation prize we are about to show the world just how dangerous the gang of Outlaws an army Without Borders can be you and your men will become hor and you will be wiped off the faith the Earth rather than Heroes you will be seen as a well-armed extremist cult prone to indiscriminate outbursts of nuclear aggression you will give rise to a New World Order Big Boss really emerges as a true hero risking everything to save even America who are his opposition from the brink of nuclear Devastation as the tensions reaching a boiling point at the fate of the world hangs in the balance absolute move of bravery and Leadership big boss would report the false nuclear launch data sent by hot coldman which was initialized by peacewalker that was tricking the Pentagon system into believing that a strike was imminent from the Soviets of course this would be the very thing that kept the world on edge but big boss would buy precious time to D stable Peace Walker and avert allout disaster the end big boss's selfless actions saved Millions ions of lives and prevented a global catastrophe though his reputation may have been tarnished and his name vilified his sacrifice will be remembered at the true Act of heroism in dark moments East Walker shows exactly why big boss is a great example of a leader rather than a dictator at least at this point demonstrating not only to his own outfit and military unit but to Global powers that be all across the world the dangers of corruption that take place within governments ultimately it would be thanks to the boss's Persona Within in the AI pod that would shut down this nuclear launch which thankfully happened when it did otherwise the entire world would be up in flames you saved us all big boss we'll stand down the alert thank you when we meet again I hope you'll shake my hand [Music] look there's no peace to be found anywhere and so we can only keep on hoping hoping for the illusion we call Peace at the conclusion of middle Gear Solid Peace Walker Big Boss stands triumphant having established his private military company Military San froners as a formidable force on the global stage with MSS reputation solidified and its capabilities demonstrated big boss and caz's new nation represents a paradigm shift in the world of warfare and geopolitics this new found Freedom Heralds a new era of warfare one characterized by the rise of private military companies just as we see in Middle Gear Solid 4 as key players in international conflicts with their Advanced weaponry and Elite sold soldiers and willingness to operate in the shadows pmc's blow the lines between State and non-state actors complicating the already murky landscape of Global Security as big boss leads his Nation forward into the unknown knowing that the times will shape and determine the events of the future just as the boss explained to him he carries with him the dreams and aspirations of the soldiers everywhere while shaping the boss's will into his own ideals proving that even in the midst of chaos there is potential for a better future under the illusion of Peace in this moment there is no turning back as big boss is now well established within the military world where conflicts and battles are a long bloody war despite big boss's love and admiration for the boss and her will he himself would become to resent the likes of what the boss fought for believing that everything that she sacrificed for the sake of the country that betrayed her really was considered to him Trail Big Boss couldn't reconcile the boss's decision to lay down her weapon and and allow ourselves to be killed in big boss's eyes this act symbolized not only a portrayal on their shared ideals and Mission but also a disregard for her own life he struggled to comprehend how someone he admired and respected so deeply could willingly sacrifice herself in such a manner especially after she entrusted him with her final mission the sense of betrayal and confusion lingered with big boss leaving him to Grapple with conflicting emotions and questions about the Loyalty Duty and the true nature of sacrifice and really what the boss his will intended to do on the impact it would have onto the [Music] world I'm done snake you don't mean I'm done looking for the truth what are you saying snake I was wrong come on Boss everybody's waiting for you she betrayed me cuz she what in the end she put down her gun and when she did she rejected her entire life up to that point including me what do you mean in giving up her life she abandoned everything she was as a soldier and you consider that betrayal I won't make the same Choice as her my future is going to be different then yeah that's right from now on call me Big Boss [Music] I'm in front of the prison camp excellent snake H hasn't slow you down one bit kept you waiting huh in the intricate world of Metal Gear Solid 5 Big Boss emerges as a formidable and controversial figure wielding immense power his possession of a secret nuclear weapon concealed from the watchful eyes of international inspectors raises profound questions about the nature of his influence and the dangers he poses to Global Security big boss's status as a nuclear power with an undisclosed Arsenal presents a complex and multifaceted threat to the world order on one hand his military prowess and strategic accumen make him a force to be reckoned with capable of shaping the course of world events and challenging the dominance of traditional nation states yet the clandestine nature of big boss's nuclear capabilities raises troubling questions about accountability and transparency by concealing his weapon from the international atomic energy agency the iaea and other International bodies he undermines the principles of nuclear nonproliferation and the delicate balance of power established by the Treaty of non- peration of nuclear weapons the danger posed by big boss's secret weapon is compounded by the lack of oversight and regulation leaving the world vulnerable to the whims of a single individual without proper safeguards in its place big boss's profound impact extends beyond the confines of the game's Universe resonating with real world issues surrounding militias private military companies terrorism and the dangers of acquiring a nuclear material for weapons of mass destruction his vision of a world where soldiers are free from constraints of Nations allegiances and ideologies mirrors the realities of today's Global landscape where militias Insurgent groups and pmc's operate with increasing autonomy and influence the proliferation of pmc's in particular has raised concerns about their role in conflicts around the world with their access to Advanced weaponry and Military expertise pmc's have the potential to destabilize regions and exacerbate existing conflicts all while operating outside the traditional Frameworks of State sovereignty and international law the threat of terrorism and the Spectre of weapons of mass destru destruction looms large in the modern world the ease with which terrorist organizations can acquire nuclear material or other dangerous Technologies poses a grave danger to Global Security highlighting the urgent need for advanced cooperation and vigilance among nations this is a coronary tale about the dangers of unchecked ambition and the potential consequences of following a non-state actors to acquire weapons of mass destruction while the events at this game may be fictional they serve as stock reminder of the very real threats facing the world today and the need for Collective action to address them snake yesterday we received official communication from the iaea it says it has come to our attention that your organization recently purchased nuclear fuel from usbekistan authorities we request permission to inspect your facilities what a load of [ __ ] yeah they're after Metal Gear Zeke's nuclear warhead I'm betting this is payback from Cipher after P's leak using the UN there's no telling how much influence they have but the iaea can only do inspections in countries that are party to the npt and we're not a country exactly we haven't signed a safeguards agreement with the iaea over peaceful nuclear use and we're not obligated to report any nuclear material we have nor information about any nuclear facilities the iaea has no authority to inspect us but despite all that that new our last line of defense we don't want to announce we have it until the world is preparing to wipe us off the map until then we let everyone think we're just a private army with conventional Firepower what's huie's take that the problem's how to hide the nuke and metal gear but I got to tell you he was all for it I see but there's no way we can have the iaea poking around here so what do we do ignore them send them an official letter of refusal say that we're a private organization and we've done nothing to attract this suspicion you got it as the charismatic leader of msf big boss embodied a new paradigm in Warfare one characterized by autonomy flexibility and profit his vision of a world where soldiers operated outside the traditional constraints of government Authority and National Allegiance struck Accord with those disillusioned by the limitations of conventional military service inspired by big boss's example entrepreneurs and opportunties seized upon the burgon in PMC industry eager to capitalize on the lucrative opportunities it presented with access to Advanced Weaponry military expertise these new formerly pmc's quickly became a poent force in global conflicts offering their services to the highest bitter without regard of consequences big boss's influence didn't stop there his reputation as a legendary Soldier and leader inspired a legion of followers including those with less noble intentions individ uals and organizations with nefarious agendas saw in Big Boss a template for achieving their own Ambitions whether it be amassing wealth and power or exacting revenge on their enemies whilst big boss's intentions may have been Noble the Ripple effects of his actions continue to shape the world long after his time ocelot said the number of private forces is increasing and they model themselves after us they're a far cry from the likes of us but why 9 years ago we made enemies of the world as a nuclear equipped Force independent of ideology or state yes sooner or later the real un would have stepped in so why are they giving these PFS free reign that's our fault too what do you mean what happened 9 years ago was a real problem for a lot of people an organization as big as ours with our facilities was wiped off the map not an easy thing to hide but if our existence came to light so would the names of our clients we had contracts all over east and west from superpowers to Banana republics the lot our clients denied all association with the likes of us they had to make sure things didn't blow up on them but at the same time they missed us they really missed us the demand for armies For Hire was as strong as ever the International Community turned a blind eye to what happened to us despite still needing people who could do our jobs history couldn't afford to lose us as soon as we were gone they needed a replacement so private forces spread everywhere and they're all just a phone call away but still I know PFS are totally different from what we envisioned nation states revolutionaries terrorists they have a lot of clients and Cipher is one of them Cipher stays Anonymous but I know their work when I see it in the eyes of those clients the world's PFS are all just Expendable pawns the clients don't have to to worry about losing their own men nobody knows they're involved and PFS are cheap in short the world is chewing up soldiers and spitting them out even some of the old mother bases survivors are still working for PFS some guys created their own smaller forces others were taken on by emerging PFS everybody's gone their separate ways but none of them are living their dream because they're not fighting with you big boss descent into questionable morals is exemplified body's decision to keep a childlike Chico in his unit this highlights the ethical complexities and moral dilemas inherence in Warfare and Leadership Chico's presence in Military San Frontiers reflects the harsh realities of conflict zones where children are often drawn into the fry as soldiers or support Personnel while Big Boss may have Justified his decision to keep Chico in msf as a means for protecting him from the dangers of the outside world the impact Act of this choice on Chico's well-being and mental health cannot be ignored by exposing Chico to the brutal realities of war and violence Big Boss inadvertedly perpetuated a cycle of trauma and suffering that ultimately led to Chico's demise in hindsight Big Boss should have recognized the inherent danger of vulnerability of having a childlike Chico in his unit and taken steps to ensure his safety and well-being this could have been included prioritizing Chico's rehabil ation and education providing him with the necessary support and resources to reintegrate into civilian life and ultimately facilitating his return to a safe and stable environment in the end big boss's decision to keep Chico in his unit ultimately cost him his life underscoring the tragic consequences of unchecked ambition and questionable moral choices there was naturally a lot to digest within ground zeros especially being in big boss's sneaking suit considering the fact that he had to rescue both Chico and P whilst having to maintain a military leadership and given on the false inspection that was evidently shown that people within this own unit that he entrusted would be his downfall and with the very destruction of mother base we could start to see the separation of ideologies and loyalties and big boss's beliefs had changed along with his mentality becoming more ruthless along the way demonstrating how really enemies can become friends and friends can become enemies just as easily as the wind changes politics and the march of time can turn friends into enemies just as easily as the wind changes ridiculous isn't it the Betrayal and the loss he experience at the hands of skullface and the xof forces shattered his trust and sense of loyalty leaving him with a deep-seated bitterness and a newfound cism towards the world prior to the attack on msf Big Boss had been driven driven by a sense of purpose and kamarad leading his soldiers with a strong sense of loyalty and conviction however the devastating loss of his comrades and the destruction of everything he had built shook him to his core causing him to question his beliefs and values once again in his desperation to seek Vengeance against Cipher he abandoned the very soldiers who stood by his side leaving them to fend for themselves in the wake of msf's Destruction as he journeyed into the abyss of his own despair Big Boss became increasingly ruthless unscrupulous in the pursuit of power and retribution that in fact he would forget his old former units and wouldn't even try to reach out to them whilst they were trying to reach out to big boss in the end the destruction of msf painted a picture of the larger broad Prospect of what war brings to the table the camaraderie aside and the fun in the games don't put aside the true nature of what war has it's ambiguous and it is liter with uncertainty and as big boss would find himself in a conflict he wouldn't even expect at this point the reality is the true nature of big boss's lifestyle could never be peaceful whether he told himself it could be in reality War Still Remains as War as big boss ascended further into the abyss he left behind a trail of Broken Dreams and shattered lives a testament to the corrosive power of betrayal and the fragility of loyalty in the face of overwhelming despair Mo go go go a [Music] snake go in the events of phantom pain big boss would reestablish himself and in fact Cipher would appoint the new snake venom snake who would take the role of big boss as being now the new face of the world as big boss's cover tragedy of this is we see venom snake is in involvement within big boss's larger plot and Cipher of course being nothing more than an Expendable Pawn along many others such as the diamond do soldiers that find themselves not fighting for their own ideologies and beliefs of soldiers they are no longer an army without a nation they are an army controlled under an organization that is in cover of a Nation the Fant of pain touches up on many topics but in terms of loyalties deceit manipulation because events that take place here are just constructed lies for those who are playing into a larger game and really have no idea really the meaning behind it bowns to venom snake big boss's greatest commander or Ally at the time would actually reestablish mother base alongside C unknowingly and unbeknownst to him his true position within all of this big boss's departure and betrayal of his former comrades including venom snake and the soldiers of Diamond Dogs is a gut-wrenching tale of shattered trust and broken bonds big boss's bitterness and first a revenge against Cipher drive him to forget what's important as of course being a leader rather than just being a tyrannical dictator big boss's bitterness and first for revenge against Cipher drives him to abandon those he once fought alongside him despite the sacrifices made and the Loyalty shown he turns his back on venom snake and Diamond Dogs leaving them to Grapple with the aftermath of msf and then also including having to clear up the mess of skullface and xof you can see that big boss's loyalty is diminished his very own unit would follow him to the grave but the very fact that big boss would show no interest once he'd fully recovered to at least give assistance to Venom on the other side is really quite telling of his character at this point this just makes the Brilliance of Venom snake's character highlighted as we see that there isn't just a great soldier with fantastic abilities this guy is isn't a leader he was a commander or somebody who served alongside big boss as being one of his greatest soldiers he has no experience in terms of being a leader per se but does it with ease and in fact would do it better than Big Boss by making some of the right moral choices in the wake of venom snake becoming the new leader to Diamond Dogs and them finding out the truth of course they would become to respect the man that they know now as their boss a boss who made different decisions from the big boss that we knew later on in outer Heaven that would make some questionable moral decisions venam snake really is the definition of loyalty but sorry to disappoint it's not his story I have to use venom snake in order to describe the eventual downfall of big boss and his character for this analysis will no doubt at some point get an analysis of his own Dogs of War for nine whole years that ends today now you're not sleeping and we're not junkyard hounds we're Diamond Dogs let them talk we can Crush Cipher boss and you can build the army that can do it just one thing C this isn't about the past we're fighting for the future this for me is a highlighted segment it comes to show that venom snake realizes that he can't live on fighting the past even though he's plagued by his own Phantoms and understandably so but it seems like big boss is still plagued by his past and in fact he the very reason that descends him into madness it's a heart-wrenching betrayal that cuts deep leaving venom snake and the Diamond Dogs grappling with the feelings of Abandonment and betrayal for them big boss was more than just a leader he was a mentor a friend a brother someone to depend on to see him walk away in their Darkest Hour feels like a betrayal of everything they once believed in yet despite the hurt and the sense of betrayal there's also a profound sense of loss a recognition that big boss's departure marks the end of an era the final nail in the coughing of their shared dreams and aspirations as Diamond Dogs and venom snake pick up the pieces and Forge ahead without him they're left to Grapple with a painful realization that sometimes even the heroes we look up to can fall far from Grace Venom snake's intentions with camrus diverge significantly from Big boss's approach big boss would see camrus primarily as a powerful weapon to further his own agenda whereas venom snake views it as something more nuanced a symbol of defiance a message to the world for venom snake Copus represents a statement a Declaration of Independence and strength in the face of Oppression rather than deploying it as a blunt instrument of Destruction he sees it as a symbol of resistance a reminder that even in the darkest of times there is hope and Defiance unlike Big Boss whose Ambitions are driven by a first for power and revenge then him snake's motivations are rooted in a desire for justice and freedom he recognizes the potential for cist to inspire others to Galvanize them into action against terrany and oppression we hold our rifles in missing hands We Stand Tall on missing legs we stride forward on the bones of our fallen then and only then are we alive this pain is ours and no one else's a secret weapon we wield out of sight we will be stronger than ever for our [Music] peace that guy's crush on sahelanthropus is beyond a joke guess he really wants to see his Tech stand on its own two legs this time that's not going to happen I know it so you've got no plans to make it operational again damn right boss I want to hear it straight from you hear what what the hell do you want with that thing the drive is busted it's not like it has a nuke on board even if the metallic arcade could turn it into a nuclear weapon all it can do is self-destruct Cil anthropus just isn't a weapon anymore it'll draw unwanted attention without even being a deterrent I know the weapon development strut sank 2 ft under that thing's weight that's one year's drop in a single night we've started on reinforcing the strut but there's no guarantee it'll hold up if a storm hits I know that too boss why keep it it's a mark us Diamond Dogs we don't have a country to call home that means we have no past nothing to prove that we lived every one of us threw it all away when we came here sahelanthropus is a symbol to show that the likes of us brought at least one crisis to its end a mark in history so we can't just fade away it's of no practical use to us but we still need it a symbol of what we've done and venom snakes approached the nuclear weapons stands in stark contrast to that of big boss while Big Boss sees nuclear weapons as a means to assert dominance and fervor his own agenda then M snake has no interest in their development in fact he actively Works to disarm them from other private forces recognizing the inherent danger they oppose to Global Security her venom snake nuclear weapons represent the ultimate form of Destruction a Pandora's Box that once open cannot be closed he understands the catastrophic consequences of their use and is unwilling to risk the lives of innocent people for the sake of power or Revenge that Venom Snak seeks to rid the world of nuclear weapons altogether recognizing that their mere existence threatens the safety and sleep ability of the planet he understands that the true power lies not in the ability to destroy but in the ability to build and create and shape the future a philosophy that guides his actions as he works tirelessly to dismantle the nuclear arsenals of other private forces something in the end wouldn't stay true as venom snake wouldn't only be betrayed he would betray himself and his own ideals for the sake of big boss nuclear disarmament boss we can't let this achievement go to waste and that means we'll have to get [Music] stronger [Music] no nuclear program will go unseen someone manages to build another nuke we'll be there to shut him down context of the nuclear disarmament scene we know that it's not only just a message that Hado kajima tried to give the fans about a profound warning of the nuclear weapons that still pose a threat today the years have dissipated over the years after the Cold War whilst the nuclear weapons have gone down within numbers they still are actively alive and then given on today in 2024 it's looking ever seemingly that a new Cold War could be Brewing seems like history is repeating itself once again but in regards to this nuclear disant scene I believe that showcase what venom snake actually did aside from this being just an fob for online players it was so much more and in fact if it wasn't real it's a broad concept and a vision of what venam snake would have intended for the world to be nuclear free venom snake's actions in rescuing African Child soldiers and offering them a chance at a new life stands as a testament to his admirable morals and Humanity unlike Big Boss who famously recruited child soldiers during the Zanzibar land disturbance Venom sneak refuses to perpetuate the cycle of violence and exploitation that plagues War torm regions a venom snake the plight of child soldiers strikes a deep cord reflecting the tragic consequences of conflict and the vulnerability of those caught in his Crossfire he recognizes that these children are victims not perpetrators and is determined to offer them a path towards Redemption and Rehabilitation even risking his own life in the process venom snake goes above and beyond to rescue and protect these vulnerable young Souls providing them with the opportunity to live a life free from the horrors of War venom snakes loyalties really do hold no bounds they'll have their own quarters separate from ours won't be counted a staff so what we're running a daycare now to learn how to read and write do basic jobs chance at a real life just not from behind a gun anyone here can use a knife or a gun what you're going to learn is how to use your head let's move outbreak in the laboratory the quarantine platform we sent a team to investigate and recover the survivors but they haven't returned there's nothing on the radio either we got a backup team ready to go just give the order an go alone boss what are you there's no need for that I can't afford to lose anyone else Venom snake's profound love and loyalty towards his soldiers are exemplified by his courageous actions such as risking infection to rescue them from the quarantine facility this unwavering dedication mirrors that of his former leader Big Boss who once shared a similar bond with his troops however well big boss's leadership eventually turned towards dictator ship and manipulation Venom snake's commitment to his soldiers remains [Music] steadfast light them up [Music] the bird and a venom snake having to take the lives of his own comrades weighs like a leading anchor on his heart dragging him into the sea of sorrow and remorse each fallen soldier is not just a casualty of War but a cherished friend a brother in arms lost of the merciless tide of conflict with every pull of the trigger Venom feels the weight of their sacrifices pressing down upon him a Relentless reminder of the cruel choices he must make to ensure the survival of those he loves and to prevent the infection that could infect the world The Echoes of their voices haunt his dreams their faces Eed into his memory their ashes forged into diamonds to be taken everywhere that he goes this is a silent Testament to the heavy tall of leadership and the agony of loss yet even amidst the darkness Venom find solace in flickering flame of his unwavering loyalty and Devotion to his Fallen comrades a Beacon of Hope guiding him through the darkest of nights one that big boss couldn't find the light and see through at the time venom snake walks through the same corridors once walked by Big Boss it is a haome reflection of his own descent into darkness as he treads in the footsteps of his former Mentor he grapples with a tragic truth of leadership that the path to power is often Pape with sacrifice and suffering the shrapnel embedded in his head serves as a constant reminder of the demon within like a twisted Crown of Thorns it symbolizes the burden of his sins and the Darkness that frens to consume him with each step of the weight of the shrapnel presses down on him a tangible manifestation of the demon that lurks within his soul as he follows in the footstep steps of his former Mentor Venom is haunted by the knowledge that he too May succumb to the same Fate The Very fate that he wouldn't ask for but one fate that he would gladly take onto his own by assisting Big Boss within outer Heaven I won't scatter your sorrow to the heartless sea I will always be with you plant your roots in [Music] [Music] me I won't see you into this ashes you're all diamonds but the whole world wanted Big Boss dead V and SMI would sadly have to take the burden as well as being considered a traitor by his former msf unit with members that survived a while back some of you guys remember a mission called retake the platform in where the leag commander at the time believed big boss was behind the attack all them years ago to go into hiding no doubt it was a misinformation media campaign that was spewed up by the likes of Cipher as big boss well and truly was the most wanted man in the world most of big boss's intentions against Cipher was good of course he wished to eliminate what he believed to be people that was trying to cause the global enslavement for misinformation controlling economy and politics Big Boss had a good reason to want to abolish Cipher unfortunately that meant giving up his Humanity in order to extract Revenge boss we figured out who that enemy Commander was he was on the staff at mother base 9 years back despite surviving the attack he broke off from us and spent his years terrifi that a cleanup Squad would come after him the isolation screwed with a sense of loyalty a rumor Source unknown had him convinced that the attack 9 years ago was orchestrated by you yourself that big boss sold out his comrades to hide from the world he thought that's why you weren't at the base that day he was so desperate to take us down he built up his own PF copying Us in every way his idea of the perfect Revenge but in the end he was just a victim of disinformation and from here on out you're a big [Music] boss the mirror and venom snake is is a symbolic Act of rejecting the false identity that had been imposed upon him the mirror reflects not his true self but the VIS of big boss the legendary Soldier whose identity had been forced to assume by shattering the mirror Venom symbolically breaks free in the confines of false Persona and asserts his own individuality it represents a moment of defiance and self-realization as Venom rejects his role that have been aost upon him and Embraces the big boss identity along with his own additionally to the act of Smashing the mirror we also see a ceric release of Pence up emotions and frustrations allowing Venom to confront his inner demons and begin the journey towards self-discovery within that Journey would leave out his own ideals to join big boss's will and continue on as a nuclear superpower in the coming years of outer heaven where he would face big boss's son in Metal Gear lore venom snakes rolling out of heaven and his collaboration with big boss to dismil the Patriots represents a pivotal moment within the series narrative it's really there where we get to take a good look of big boss's character to go from him being a leader to a damnright dictator within all this is really just a true means to an end there is no good or evil right or wrong after the fans and pain Big Boss appeared in Yus Territorial and EIC conflicts that's where also where he met Frank jerger once again rescuing him from imprisonment and torture big boss would actually take Frank Jer and Naomi to the United States where he helped them establish normal lives showing that there is still a good spirited side of him even though he is conflicted from within that even though the whole world wanted his head there were still people who widely respected him and saw his vision and his will as being a just cause that needed to happen to prevent the world from being under control for secret societies and he brought you back to America no I was in mosambique when he came who is he you mean Big Boss yes he brought us to this land of Freedom this America then he and my brother went back to Africa to continue the war big boss would achieve a Nur mythical status due to his extraordinary military career and his exploits of venom snake earning him the legendary Soldier moniker he was Herald as a true hero and made the front covers of popular magazines in many countries and some point afterwards he'd serve as a combat instructor who worked on to reintegrate former Child soldiers into society and one of them was a young Sniper Wolf whom he rescued from a harsh upbringing and raised as a soldier sniper wol wasn't the only one exploited amongst many child soldiers and which Big Boss recruit to his own meaning and CS showing the true downfall and descent into his absolute dictatorship big boss has been known for many names from naked snake to Vic boss from ishmail and all the way to the notorious Saladin while Cipher may have held the grand control over the most important features that run the world big boss was no exception to the fact that his influence was so large and Powerful that he was well known worldwide for his exploits each morning I'd wake up and find a few more of my family or friends dead beside me I stare at the morning son and pray to make it through the day the governments of the world turned a blind eye to our misery but then he appeared my hero Saladin he took me away from all that Saladin you mean big boss I became a sniper at some point in the early 1990s big boss would return to the US once again to take command of foxhound while serving as foxhounds commander he secretly built up his mercenary company outer Heaven into a larger military establishment with venom snake acting as his stad during this time he was responsible for the Wild and instinctive strategies utilized by foxhound during operations which often appeared to be planned with little Caution and detail and it was in 1995 when the USA learned of metal Gear's development in outer Heaven big boss commissioned foxhound to infiltrate the Fortified nation and destroy the weapon before anyone else so we could at least buy venom snake some time to finish the tx55 metal [Music] gear by acquiring and developing the tx-55 metal gear Big Boss aims to tip the balance of power in the favor of Out of Heaven once again just like he did with Military San Frontiers only this time with a more ruthless approach positioning his Fortress as a significant player on the global stage with the threat of nuclear retaliation right at their disposal big bosson his forces seek to deter potential adversaries and secure their independence from outside control that the Patriots seems to have on the world so we see the desperation within big boss's decision making as he uses his very own son Solid Snake from the foxhound unit to be the palm of an outer Heaven as he expected Solid Snake not to accomplish his mission and would fall at the hands of venom snake but not only that as well before he sent Solid Snake gray fox was sent in to investigate outer heaven only just to be captured Big Boss became what he hated through a combination of betrayal and disillusionment in fact the very thing he was fighting against he would become himself all in the pursuit of power and turning his back on What mattered and leaving morals aside but in the tragic case of venom snake would die like the soldier he is loyal to his purpose and loyal to Big boss's will he sacrificed himself at the very end even though some would question that he would have been better going down his own path some will find it hard to Fathom how his loyalties still could remain so true after being betrayed by big boss and the likes of Cipher that would be considered both of his enemies but considering what we've seen we know this is why Big Boss appointed venom snake to be the commander of outer Heaven it's most likely that big boss knew that Solid Snake would achieve and succeed within the mission and with the death of his Phantom would go hand inand with his plans to fake his death to make his reassures toward Zanzibar land giving him all the time he needs to surprise attack and launch a Cuda against Cipher zero elevated Big Boss the hero who saved the world to the status of an idol the truth behind Big Boss became riddled with exaggeration misrepresentation and outright lies zero disseminated these stories among the masses and gathered the rich and Powerful To His Banner every era needs its symbols to control the people whether it be the stars and stripes or the hammer and sickle it would be the same story all again in Zanzibar but worse the exploitation within Zanzibar and the African people was beyond comprehensible using scientists to to do Force research and child soldiers as such trying to escape the very Zanzibar facility despite big boss's efforts middle gear D was destroyed and his most trusted Lieutenant gray fox was also defeated in hand-to hand combat by Solid Snake big boss would confront snake in an underground base appealing to the warrior within snake that craved the world a Perpetual Warfare that he was trying to create having spent his entire life on the battlefield Big Boss could not conceive of a world without War [Music] [Music] e big boss's descent into madness and delusions of becoming a corrupt government figure stem from that complex interplay of his personal trauma his disillusionment with authority and the first for power throughout his journey he experienced profound loss and betrayal which fractured his sense of morality and he sold the seeds of resentments towards established institutions big boss would begin to view himself as above the constraints of conventional morality believing that his vision of the World free from the outside control justifies any means necessary Solid Snake mirrors big boss's younger self embodying Noble intentions and a desire to make a difference like his father he possesses a strong sense of Duty and willingness to sacrifice for the greater good however Sol snake confronts the harsh realities of Wars a moral ambiguity of his missions but unlike his father he wouldn't be the risk of succumbing to The Temptations that ens snared his father and with the death of the boss big boss's mentor a mother figure deeply impacts both big boss and Solid Snake her final speech echoing big boss's own rhetoric serves as a poignant reminder of the clinical nature of the conflict and perpetuation of the same ideals across Generations it really does underscore the tragic irony of big boss's transformation from a soldier fighting for freedom to a figure of Oppression and serves as a warning to Solid Snake are the dangers of losing sight of not only just trying to change the world but to leave it as it is sad big boss would never truly understand the boss's will only up until the end of metal gear solid four where big boss would realize his sins and come to an understanding of his own inner demons that plagued him and finally truly know what the boss's will really meant take this keep it [Music] safe it's our only [Music] hope a patriot why are you giving me this Jack or should I say snake you're a wonderful man kill me kill me now do [Music] it there's only room for one boss and one snake if you'd been in my place back then maybe you wouldn't have made the same mistakes that I did ever since the day I killed the boss with my own hands I was already [Music] dead [Music] boss you were right it's not about changing the world it's about doing our best to leave the world away it is while Big Boss may have strayed from the path of righteousness his ideals continue to inspire his son Solid Snake and even liquid snake as well as characters like solidus snake and others throughout the Metal Gear Solid series Solid Snake in particular carried on his father's Quest driven by a sense of dudy and desire to honor his legacy with each mission that he confronted the oppressive forces of the Patriots and would fight to dismantle their control over Society his struggles mirror those of his father underscoring the cynical nature of their shared Mission and the uring impact of big boss's Legacy similarly to solid a snake the clone of big boss would seek his own continuation of his father's work Jack it's not power I want what I wanted to take back from the Patriots are things like Freedom civil rights opportunities the founding principles of this country everything that's about to be wiped out by their digital censorship it be it though more extreme means his rebellions against the Patriots represent a direct challenge to their Authority and a continuation of big boss's vision of a world free from outside control as the series unfolds other characters such as Aon Brien and even some of the AI constructs of the Patriots themselves become allies in the fight against tyranny and oppression each in their own way contribute to the ongoing struggle to fulfill big boss's vision of a world where individuals are free to determine their own Destinies in this way while Big Boss may have fallen from Grace his goals live on through their actions of those who seek to finish what he started their Collective efforts serve as a testament to the enduring power of His
