I ' m more likef 1 <| sep |> The Hobbit was him taking over a project that was already a giant mess , it ' s not really fair to put that one on him . <| sep |> Was about to ask this q too , but bolt wing attacks seem faster to apply the debuff compare to yuki , I wanna know too is yuki better due to stats or boltwing due to the aoe atk debuff , I ' m running wood plus water Arthur along with l nike <| sep |> I like to think that Venom is confused of everything that ' s happening . He suddenly wakes up in a coma and is being told that he ' s the Big Boss . Some shady special forces , a flaming dude and a flying kid are chasing him , there ' s a flaming whale in the sky , a guy with his voice guides him etc . Shit ' s fucked up and is bound to make him question the reality he woke up into . Sure he ' s hypnotized , but that won ' t suddenly make him as experienced as Big Boss , or have memories of BB ' s his past missions . He ' s a guy who ' s simply given BB ' s name , is called Snake or Boss , is made to decide everything that goes on at MB , and is sent on all sorts of super dangerous missions constantly . Imagine going from a field medic to that in just what seems like a blink of an eye . The moment he says I ' m already a demon sounds like he ' s already realizing what ' s going on and just decides to run with it because otherwise Mother Base would collapse with the lack of proper leader figure . It ' s hard to explain it . He ' s not exactly a demon from hell , but a man who runs an army that does any sort of dirty job for money . He ' s the concept of war without a cause . So basically he ' s confused , lost and just winging it whenever something serious happens at MB . On missions he just focuses on the task at hand and isn ' t the type who yaps with his buddies through Codec for hours just for the hell of it , like the real Big Boss did . And with the whole Paz situation , that stuff is just a big dreamhallucination . Laws of reality or realistic responses to the situation don ' t apply . In dreams we are nothing but spectators , so him just standing there and looking at Paz digging her guts out is very realistic in terms of dream logic .
