I have my two cents to say to that, I'll tell why head transplantation could indeed be a thing in MGSV, but first, let's make one thing very clear: I'm 100% against the Gray Fox theory, it's ridiculous, idiotic, deluded, etc. I could go on and on. -Theory follows.- Too far reached IMO, the main reason why I don't think Big Boss is subject to the head transplant is.....if they did transplant the head, then why not the arm? A head transplantation is far more advanced then an arm transplantation. So if they can transplant a head, why not the arm as well? Are they going to tell me that there was no suitable arm? That's bullcrap cause I'm pretty damn sure there's plenty of arms available throughout 9 years of coma. And again, Big Boss lacks the obvious markings of where the seam between head and body would be.

And honeslty, it fits the Skulls a lot more, even in their name, it refers to the head, they are bio-mechanical beings, cyborgs, their head is the clearest thing we see of their actual body, the whole head transplantation fits more there then anywhere else. That's a good point. But then again I still see it as a possibility, couldn't they have transplanted an actual arm for Snake during the coma in the first place instead of a biomechanical arm? And while I do agree that it certainly could fit the "Skulls" better, there was a tweet that these "Skulls" are controlled by someone familiar, and the first one to come to mind is Skullface, so their name could simply refer to Skullface. Skullface has his own army of biomechanical soldiers called the Skulls. Anyway, can't know til' we play the game. I see the head transplantation theory as a possibility, because like I said, it would explain quite a few things, but then again it can all be explained simply by how psychologically damaged Big Boss, and I think it works just as well. But a Gray Fox body double framing Big Boss? No.

About the arm bit....well no, because when we first see Big Boss, he has one of those fake claw arms applied in Hospitals when one looses an arm...so they clearly did not bother to transplant his arm. And in all honesty, and I know this may well be just me pulling stuff out of my ass, but the hospital just does not seem equiped for such, let alone a remote hospital in Cyrus.

But yes, we can agree on one thing, the body double is idiotic.

@Paranoid Donkey

I fully agree that, if this theory happened to be real (big if) it would certainly ruin the game for me because it is just so idiotic...not to mention, Kojima asured us that we would be playing as Big Boss and not someone else.
