I may have solved one of MGSV's biggest mysteries!
Metal Gear Solid V is intentionally written in a vague, confusing manner. It never truly confirms anything directly- this is one of the big themes of the game, after all. But there are hints, subtle clues here and there that imply various truths. After a long time, I thought I would share this little theory since it's close enough to confirming something that I could ever get with the game.
When did Kaz figure out the truth about Big Boss?
Who was behind the radiation leak that led to so many Diamond Dogs being executed by Venom Snake?
Here we go!
In the flashback opening of the Truth chapter, Kaz is present when the doctor points out the MSF Medic (Venom) took some shrapnel to the head. This means he knew who Venom was as soon as he was rescued. In the truth tapes, Ocelot talks to Big Boss about the entire plan and says he "has to forget him now" meaning Ocelot will soon undergo hypnosis to forget the truth. Ocelot still knew who was who after helping the true Big Boss escape on motorcycle, because he returned to rescue Venom on horseback.
So, that means the truth tape where Ocelot and Kaz talk about the plan could only take place immediately after the mission where Venom rescues Kaz, because after that point he is no longer acting, Ocelot really believes Venom is the real Big Boss. This is further evidenced by the fact that if you tranquilize him during the mission where he teaches you how to Fulton, Ocelot mumbles in frustration "Two plus two equals five... two plus two equals five..."
There is however, a little flaw here. We don't know for certain if Kaz lost his eyesight before he was rescued. He does say "No, it's just a little bright is all..." when Venom asks if "they did something to his eyes" implying he can still see at that point. Another detail about Kaz's eyesight is that after rescuing Huey, when Ocelot is torturing him, Kaz holds Huey's glasses, staring at them for some reason. He then approaches Huey and claims he "was the only one who didn't lose anything" - referring to MSF, his own limbs, Venom's arm, etc. But this is also a possible and subtle hint that he was losing or lost his eyesight by that point - the reason he was inspecting Huey's glasses.
The other mystery is... who was responsible for the radiation leak that caused the parasite mutation that killed everyone in the Quarantine platform during Shining Lights, Even in Death?
We know Kaz resents Huey, possibly because he believes Huey was behind the XOF attack 9 years prior, but also because he believes Huey didn't lose anything important. We know Kaz hates Quiet because she is working for "Cipher" and we know that Kaz hates the real Big Boss at this point based on the timeline of events sorted out at the start of this post.
There are only two people who hate Big Boss present at mother base when the parasite mutation occurred, and only one of them would have known that radiation causes mutations because of the cassette tape conversation between Code Talker and Skull Face you acquired.
Eli and Kaz both hate Big Boss - Kaz hates the real one, Eli hates the "fake" one. (Though Eli doesn't know that.)
Eli had also been the only character who is confirmed to have sabotaged equipment before - he did it to kill one of the other child soldiers at mother base.
Eli and Kaz have always been two thematically connected characters, because Liquid was impersonating him in MGS1.
After the mission "Sahalenthropus" when Venom hallucinates Skull Face walking in front of him, he also looks back and sees Skull Face behind his right shoulder, tipping his hat. As soon as Venom walks away we see Kaz standing where Skull Face was. This game was subtly implying Kaz was also becoming like Skull Face here.
So what I believe happened was this:
Kaz told Eli about the radiation that causes the parasite to mutate. He knew Eli wanted revenge on Big Boss (Venom) and used his anger to control him - the same thing Zero and Big Boss did to Venom.
Eli sabotages the equipment that was inspected by Huey. Huey gets
I don't understand. Its complete. Over. But it's still there. That Phantom Pain

In favor of Peace Walker...
With the upcoming Vol 2 of the master collection, it seems the most anticipated game is MGS 4, which is understandable.
There seems to be less enthusiasm for Peace Walker. PW is a magnificent game when you consider it was made specifically for a handheld. It's not meant to be played on a large tv, (which is fine btw most of us know it from the hd collection) there is no wrong way to play it but there is something special about playing a quick mission on the bus or waiting in a cinema etc. It's arguably one of the greatest games designed specifically for a handheld.
Next year sony will finally release a new handheld, Peace Walker will be the first game I play on it. If you have a steam deck, you're going to have a great September this year.

Going lethal for certain boss fights and still get big boss?
I just wanted to know if this checks out I've heard from several people you can go lethal for ocelot, Volgin (fist fight) and the boss and it won't count as kills towards your big boss run. Ive checked my records and it seems to check out (as I didnt have enough mk2 ammo for the ocelot fight).

Metal Gear Solid 1 ending speech between Revolver Ocelot and Solidus Snake confused me. Was Solidus Snake meant to be main villain of Metal Gear Solid series instead of the Patriots?

blamed for it, and is exiled. Quiet sees that she can no longer remain at Mother base because not even silence guarantees the parasite won't kill everyone due to mutation. Quiet leaves. Kaz is the only one who gets what he wants because of the mutation.
Furthermore, there are a few thematic hints during Shining Lights, Even in Death. Listen to the sound of the staff humming the Peace Walker theme before you kill them in that mission. They sound like flies.
Flies. (This is even clearer in the expanded soundtrack)
Who do we know that has a thematic connection to flies?
Eli, with his Kingdom of Flies.
So, what do you think?

Does anyone else feel that despite the improved gameplay and increased artistic daringness, none of the MGS sequels have compared to the original’s more grounded and serious feel and emotional story and cast?
I’ve played the first three MGS games, Peace Walker, Ground Zeroes, and bits of Phantom Pain. Recently beat the original 1987 game and playing through MG2 now.
Even though they’re all good games in their own right, only MGS1 has really resonated with me. No other sequel lived up to it for me due to their increased silliness and the atmosphere, story, and cast of MGS1 are second to none.
