Also, to add in what Wikia contributor   42.98.58.21 said:

The scene starts with Big Boss as how he appeared during MGS3, albeit in his Sneaking Suit, signifying the beginning of the legend. We then go into his appearance of PW, his rise to independence, his own army. Followed by his appearance in GZ, the fall of his army, the birth of revenge. We then see his appearance in TPP, the blood signifying his lust for revenge as flames start to consume him, burning him into a skinless figure, a demon, the results of his lust for revenge. Finally the burned figure, the ultimate result of what his quest for revenge brought him, defeat and near death.
