New myth article that even you may need to read

[Ravi Singh]

Sometimes when I post a myth article people tell me that I wasted my time typing up a page or whatever pointing out the obvious. In this case, I think even those people may learn something new.

Thanks to Marc from Junker HQ for his translation assistance again.

To be honest I figured the whole coma thing was reconnected and they came up with something else. In Snake Eater Para-Medic made it very clear to Snake he should preserve his DNA. Who is to say that during one of his military physicals a blood sample was taken and put away for a rainy day? Or it could have been similar to Solid Snake where he received Fox Die immediately before the mission.

Here is a crazy theory.
After the virtuous mission Zero had realized Snake had been exposed to radiation yet AGAIN and realized how much of an asset his DNA was. So while he was recovering at the hospital for a week a DNA sample was snuck. Probably went something like this

Zero: Snake how goes the recovery?
Snake: Not too bad but the pain of the Boss's betrayal... *cry's into palms*
Zero: *takes hair snippet* Well cheer up you have a world to save! *dashes off, trips with excitement, stores that shit for research*

I'm pretty certain that in the MGS3 Extreme Box it was mentioned that Big Boss was rendered sterile by the first blast at Tselinoyarsk. You might want to have Marc check the Virtuous Mission commentary to double-check, though.

Wouldn't Big Boss have also been exposed to radiation a third time when The Boss fired the remaining Davey Crockett missile and blew up Groznyj Grad before the end?

Yeah, the future project leads for Kojima Productions.

Future titles will be in their names.

Sorry Ravi, but this Myth article is kinds BS man. You use the original Japanese script as your only solid footing, but deny the English script for both MGS1 AND MGS TTS, even though they are Kojima approved scripts.

I believe that by the time they got around to localizing the first MGS the accepted idea by Kojima, was that Big Boss had been (even if only for a short time) in a coma while his DNA was extracted without his knowledge.

As for the injury leaving him sterile, well....he hinted at Bikini Atoll in MGS3 and outright balls out (pun intended) admitted it in Portable Ops. Now of course you could argue whether Ops was canon, but I am going to go with it being canon...in spite of being the weakest title.

Honestly being exposed to one nuclear bomb is more than enough to sterilize a guy...so those trying to figure out what other "injury" they could mean need search no more

The best supporting evidence of him...in fact...being in a coma of some type is that in Peace Walker he has no knowledge about the LET project. Being sterile does not make you stupid. So somehow or another his DNA was taken without him knowing. Of course you don't need to be in a coma for someone to take a sample of your DNA, but as two versions of the Metal Gear Solid script have stated this to be so, and it does not conflict with anything else in the canon, why would anyone assume it to be a Myth? You really must be bored if you want to "dis-prove" things that don't even really need disproving.

Really this isn't a Myth article...it is conjecture. There is a difference between Fact, and what you hypothesize to be possibly fact....bases on a single line spoken in a single game...that doesn't really conflict with anything else directly.
