I think it's about time to throw both the body double theory, as well as my head transplant theory to the trash bin. In recent previews it is stated that Big Boss has 108 different objects lodged into his body, including a piece of shrapnel in his heart that is too dangerous to take out.

To me this is pretty undeniable piece of evidence against the body double theory as well as the head transplant theory. A body double wouldn't have that much shit in his body, only Big Boss would. And because the point of head transplantation is to give a new body for someone whose body was damaged beyond repair, 100+ objects lodged into Big Boss' body speak pretty strongly against the theory. Not to mention how risky it would be to perform such an operation when the subject already has so many things in his body that don't belong there.

It looks like things are going to be more simple than we thought, and that is just great! I've never believed the body double theory and no matter what "shocking reveals" PythonSelkan still comes up with, it won't change the fact that we're playing as the real Big Boss. Frank will make an appearance in the game for sure, but Venom Snake is Big Boss. End of story.
