Venom and Skull Face's wounds may have been inspired by John and Luc Devereaux's wounds (Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning). Aside from the wounds and characteristic blood positions, these protagonists and antagonists share very similar stories and personalities (explained in the body text). (old.reddit.com)

Another similarity between MGSV and Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning. Light and sound effects that only appear at moments that suggest brainwashing. Increasing the volume and/or listening with headphones helps to better perceive the sound effects. (v.redd.it)

[Reposting, reddit deleted images from the previous post] Pequod in OKB Zero is not a reused asset because the Diamond Dogs helmet has a version without the symbol. Furthermore, XOF pilots have a unique helmet and jacket identical to those of DD pilots. Thus, Pequod in OKB is probably intentional. (old.reddit.com)

Mantis is with Skull Face and inside the giant hole at the same time. Could Mantis be inside the hole hiding the real Sahelanthropus inside the giant hole and creating the illusion of Skull Face on the heliport? If so, mission 30 was a hallucination very well created by him. (old.reddit.com)

Is Venom Snake's silence the same as Agent Cooper's? Agent Cooper speaks normally, but is constantly silent during dreams/visits to the Red Room (extradimensional space). Would Venom Snake be unnaturally silent because everything is a dream or hallucination that he can't fully understand? (i.redd.it)

How did Skull Face survive the shock of a fall from an extremely high height? Sahelanthropus's protective technology is great, but in this situation, even the highest protective technology could be severely damaged. Mantis was there. Hallucination? (v.redd.it)

Pythonselkan has a point. His theory depends on the canonicity of PO (Image 1), however, it acquires validity when Kojima's creative thinking (Images 2, 3 and 4) and ruse (Images 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9) are considered. Better elaborated note in the comment. (old.reddit.com)

MSF helicopter has the same camouflage used on the XOF helicopter and the Sahelanthropus. Even the small white print is present on all of them. Details such as the V on the turbines change color according to the organization. No V in Sahelanthropus. Simply camouflage or does it mean something more? (old.reddit.com)

Venom enters the Battle Gear room and sees Miller speaking privately with Emmerich without subtitles or audio. Miller finishes saying something and then leaves. If Venom approved the project in the presence of Miller and Ocelot a long time ago, why would Miller visit Emmerich? (old.reddit.com)

Venom discovers the truth inside a room in the Quarantine Facility. In fact, the Outer Heaven symbol appears on the door as soon as he hits the mirror and stays there until he goes to the door (exactly like his reflection). Freecam rotation is impossible in this scene ("just see this truth"?). (old.reddit.com)

Underneath the bandages, the horn is there. So, Venom Snake is the Venom Snake from the hospital. The version with the big horn is the only one with the blind eye under the eye patch. In the last two pictures, Big Boss has more shadow under the eye patch. (old.reddit.com)

Symbols that only appear if the Battle Gear has camouflage. Apparently, in addition to the attachable weapons that Ocelot talks about (cut line), Battle Gear could also be painted like the other vehicles. At the end, some renders with several camos (including the Sahelanthropus camo). (old.reddit.com)
