History WMG / MetalGearRisingRevengeance

* Since Bladewolf has parallels to both [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Sniper Wolf]] and [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4 Crying Wolf]] in naming schema, a better idea would be to base them off of the Foxhound Animal Archetypes. So the members of ''"Wolfhound"'' might be more along the lines of '''[[AwesomenessByAnalysis Scythemantis]]''', an prototype with a built-in predictive computer, '''[[TheMusketeer Axeraven]]''', an AI with a wide variety of weapons on its person and schizophrenic attack pattern, '''[[MegaManning Lanceoctopus]]''', a tentacled prototype that specializes in assimilating technology, and '''[[StealthExpert Knifesnake]]''', a smaller prototype that specializes in sabotage.

Think about it. That cat can ''flawlessly'' dodge anything and everything Raiden throws at it. No other character in the game can do this. Not even Jetstream Sam. Not even ''Monsoon''. Only the Ninja Cat. It must have the most advanced cybernetic enhancements known to man. And according to [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking the logic of the Metal Gear series]] as the most powerful cyborg in the game the Ninja Cat must be the true power behind the forces of evil. A most formidable foe indeed...

So, perhaps he had another motivation for involving himself in something as potentially risky as the the Sears Program: The VR training the Sears Program children undergo was based on the experience of Raiden and other child soldiers in the Small Boy Unit, and in his fight with Raiden, Armstrong expresses admiration for him and how he "took back his life", and even calls him a "kindred spirit". What if the real purpose of the Sears Program was to essentially recreate Raiden by subjecting people to the same experiences as him, ([[{{Irony}} Much like how the Patriots tried to make Raiden into a recreation of Snake.]]) creating thousands of [[{{Ubermensch}} Ubermenschen]] willing to fight for their ideals in Armstrong's "utopia"?

[[WMG: [[spoiler:Armstrong]] hardens due to blood flow.]]
When the nanomachines go into effect, the areas around the blackened areas are blood red, which could support the theory that his skin turning black is from nanomachines which are in his blood and extremely pressurized & densely packed instead of spaced apart, and they are a natural red when they aren't in use. Actually, now that I think of it, if this theory is true, [[spoiler:Armstrong]] is technically a walking erection.

Needless to say, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realizing he's turned an otherwise innocent creature]] [[NotSoDifferent into himself]], this is what motivates Raiden to ask himself why he's seeking revenge, [[CycleOfRevenge if all he's done is give cause for more.]]

The DLC story featuring Sam seems to imply that he, like Raiden, is fighting on the behalf of justice. [[spoiler: Sam seemed to be going to World Marshal to not ask for a job, but to take it down. Monsoon and Armstrong were to be aware of this, so they taunted him. After Armstrong cut off his arm and gave him the job, Sam decided to roll with it and influence Raiden into doing what Sam couldn't. By breaking Raiden mind, made Raiden stronger. Then Raiden could defeat Sam, which is Sam's way of ensuring that Raiden was strong enough to take on Armstrong. Finally, as a Thanatos Gambit, Sam would give Raiden his sword once he died because the Murasama blade was already proved to be able to harm Armstrong. After that, Raiden would do what Sam was doing at the beginning; Raiden began his own personal war on the rest of World Marshal]]. NotSoDifferent huh?

No official expansion for the acronym has been given, but it makes sense. The three different stun messages are for different types of combatants, too: "STUN" is reserved for squishy humans like Sam, "AI ERROR" is used for UGs with no biological parts at all, and "BMI ERROR" is for cyborgs with cybernetic implants backing up cellular neurons – so when a cyborg gets slugged really hard, both their organic and mechanical processing units must recalibrate. Hence a biomechanical interface error, or BMI error.

[[WMG: Sam is really the MGS universe's [[FateStayNight EMIYA]].]]
