Line 56:
* [[But Not Too Black]]: Invoked with Fortune, averted with Stillman. Might have something to do with the real-life people they were based on.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Raiden (and, by extension, you) is this by the end of the game.
* [[Child Soldiers]]: {{spoiler|Raiden in his youth}}
* [[City of Weirdos]]: The crowd that gathers at the end of the game seem awfully calm despite {{spoiler|a huge mobile fortress crashed into Federal Hall as well as the body of the former President of the United States wearing an exoskeleton suit with metal tentacles and a selection of swords lying nearby.}}
* [[Clark Kenting]]: Pliskin isn't fooling anyone. Supposedly, Kojima deliberately gave him the most transparently obvious [[Paper-Thin Disguise]] he could think of, just to see how many people were fooled anyway.
Line 173 ⟶ 174:
** Probably not intentional, but one of the (false) SEAL mottos he utters is "Semper Fi" which is actually one of the mottos of the United States Marine Corps. In the NES version of ''[[Metal Gear]]'s'' English manual, Solid Snake was stated to have been a former United States Marine who participated in the Invasion of Grenada.
* [[No Body Left Behind]]: Averted, except in the case where a dead soldier gets replaced by another patrolling soldier. This game was one of the first to have major repercussions for being untidy with the corpses of your enemies, forcing you to hide them in lockers or toss them into the sea, lest they be discovered by another soldier and replaced.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast/Notorious Killers|Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: {{spoiler|[[Jack the Ripper]], Raiden's name when he was a [[Child Soldiers|Child Soldier]]}}
* [[No Fourth Wall]]: There cannot even be said to be a third wall. The second and first are barely holding up as is.
