Where is the real Big Boss in MGS5?
The real Big Boss is not the protagonist of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, but rather Ishmael, who is revealed to be the true Big Boss in the secret ending, and the player actually controls Venom Snake, also known as Punished Snake, who is a decoy or proxy of the real Big Boss. The real Big Boss is elsewhere, building Zanzibar Land, a specular reflection of Outer Heaven, while Venom Snake takes his place, unaware of his true identity and purpose.
