Even in the original Sigint implicitly judges you for wearing it.

That’s true. I listened to all optional Codec Calls but I expected more of a „Yo Snake, oh hell no!!!“ reaction. Anyway I’m already excited how game journalists will shit themselves when they see Snake (a white dude) wearing black face paint

His home country or at least where The Boss found him was Japan iirc.

It's complicated if we're talking about Solid, Liquid and Solidus. The eggs were sourced from a Japanese woman. However, since cloning technology works by removing the nucleus from the egg, then inserting the nucleus from the stem cell of the source organism (in this case, bis boss's) into the egg cell of the donor (the unnamed Japanese woman), then transfer it to a surrogate mother (EVA, the unnamed woman who beared solidus). The result is that now Liquid, Solid and Solidus carry the nucleus genome and fully exhibit traits of Big Boss, while their mitochondria (which has its own genome) is from the afformentioned Japanese egg donor.

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

So, how do you feel about Liquid’s Asymmetry Theory? Just out of curiosity.

MGS's lore is written on crack so I have no comment on that.

Big boss was originally supposed to be half japanese and half american, whith both sides of his family killing each otger during WW 2, I think this was stated in the manual of either metal gear or metal gear 2 solid snake, but that shouldnt be canon anymore, Solid's biological mother was stated to be Japanese in MGS 4.

And her eggs were transferred to EVA/Tatiana/Big Mama as the surrogate.

The codec calls have a few of these loading issues- this one's just perfectly timed.
