18 Things Only Metal Gear Solid Fans Will Understand

15. Ocelot's Sure Do Love Their Snakes

Revolver Ocelot has a long history with the Snake bloodline, dating all the way back to his run-in with good old Naked Snake, and he's found himself enamoured with the Boss ever since. The crush is never explicitly stated or confirmed, but in the MGS4 fight between Solid Snake and Ocelot, if you don't struggle with the CQC while "Snake Eater" is playing, Ocelot will kiss Snake on the cheek. This is a relationship that serves as a mentor-student kind of setup, with Ocelot implying his romantic feelings. During Phantom Pain, Ocelot states his "understanding" of Quiet's admiration of Big Boss, in a way that hints at more than strictly professional feelings. It's mainly with Solid Snake that the relationship is more antagonistic, although with MGS4, it ends in a closer sense of mutual respect, akin to Ocelot and BB. A double agent, as well as a massive backstabber, Ocelot is a hard man to like in-world. However, it's probably because there were only two things in life that he enjoyed: swinging a revolver around like he's in a circus, and a specific Snake that we also know and love.
