Riches to Rage: The Story of Colonel Volgin

- Volgin is one of the most memorable parts of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. From his electrokinesis to the unrelenting cruelty he displays throughout the story. Then his return to the series again in Phantom Pain was a decision to reinforce his role in Snake Eater even more.

I find it pretty interesting that the only reason Venom was spared from Volgin's wrath was because he didn't have those blue eyes he hated so much
If only Skull Face took notes of this. Then we wouldn't have that awkward Jeep ride where he laid out his grand plans to the wrong guy.
And Volgin might’ve grabbed his balls in one of the fights a little realizing it wasn’t snake
@mniakan754 well Venom would be suffering from a bad case of burning balls
@aleisinwndrlen7113 yeah he also probably should've noticed Big Boss isn't that quiet
@@enenra6417 is that at least better than blue balls?
I know everyone says Volgin knew Venom wasn't who he was because of the eyes. I say we know Volgin has a much more effective way of finding out how much of a handful someone is.
The man knows his crotches, but considering how he became a Fire-Monster-Man... thing. God, that just made me imagine during the encounters with the Man on Fire what if he had an instant kill move where charges at you, and if he grabs you, he grabs Venom’s crotch
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@remainderofsturgeonslaw7156Great balls of fire

I can't unhear 100 BILLION DOLLARS every time I see Volgin now. Thanks, George Salonikh.
100 BILLION DOLLARS DIVIDED UP AND HIDDEN ALL OVER THE WOORLD
Too true
DIVIDED UP AND HIDDEN ALL OVER THE WORLD!!
And his goofy ass laugh as well
I like how Volgin is just plain evil and all around a monster. That adds contrast to many of the other antagonists and also makes very satisfying for his 2 downfalls.
and after all that, he falls to Big Boss's double, in his last moments, learning that he had been majorly douped
I like how MGS3 has a villain that you’re not entirely sure you want to fight with The Boss, and also has Volgin who’s just a sadistic lunatic you can’t wait to finish off.
Cant wait to see Volgin grab Snakes balls in 4k
It’s ironic that his name is derived from the Volga River; since especially during his Man on Fire phase he is a lot more susceptible to water.
Even the Russian stationary machine guns in MGSV are designated
VOL-GA 12 or something like that
I just watched the new trailer for MGS delta and I regret to inform everyone that Snake still doesn’t have his goddamn lunchebles
Snake, those aren't going to be invented for another 30 years.
@@aleisinwndrlen7113 so… I’m fighting a mech, a guy who fires lightning out of his ass, a literal ghost, a snipers whoes over 100 years old but lunchables, that’s where draw the line for realism
automatically terrible, 0/10
Bitchin
He was hunting for his munchies in the trailer
Honestly I have thought that primary inspiration for Volgin was Bison from STREET FIGHTER
In both cases they are "supervillain" dictator type antagonist, that has massive military power, but also skilled in supernatural psychic power.
Especially considering that his father 01:07 looks nearly identical to Bison
Can't unsee it now lol
Pretty sure his jp va voiced bison so I think it's intentional
Kind of weird Metal Gear never did much with the whole superpowers angle. Between Volgin's Electricity manipulation, the Sorrow's Telepathy and Psycho Mantis's telekinesis you'd figure we'd get more soldiers with insane powers rather than just fancy tech.
due to metal gears messed up timeline due to Kojima early on not planning a massive world. Only after MGS2 did he try something with it.
Well, you could also include Vulcan Raven into that mix since he had shamanic powers, and then their's Fortune who was able to stop Revolver Ocelot's missile attack, so i guess there were a few characters with supernatural powers.
THANK YOU for mentioning that volgin genuinely cares about raikov! it’s one of his few redeeming / humanising character traits and people overlook it so much when it really adds a more realistic aspect to his character - that even people who seem irredeemably evil are still human. those two genuinely care about each other (raikov is pissed at snake in portable ops for killing volgin) and it’s their only positive traits lmao
Kuwabara, Kuwabara
Apparently the Colonel loves Yu Yu Hakusho.
There was a guy who theorized that it might be because Volgin hailed from a region of eastern Russia that may have some Japanese influence on their folklore, considering their proximity.
He was indeed best boy
@@aleisinwndrlen7113Vladivostok?
Didn't it keep him from getting stroke by lightning
Wasn't expecting a Meti vid, but like always, it's a pleasant surprise and just about made my day. The fact that it was another Metal Gear vid, and was about Volgin? Just perfect.
_There was a certain man_
_From Russia long ago,_
_He was big and strong_
_With his eyes a flaming glow._
The fact that Naked was considered a hero for ‘killing’ Volgin, despite being American shows how much of a monster he truely was.
Perfect timing just as the remake trailer dropped.
YOU'RE WASTING YOUR AMMO
DIDN'T FEEL A THING!
IS THAT ALL YOU CAN MANAGE?
It’s always a good day when there’s a new metal gear meti video
He is literally built different
i could hear your glee with all the alliteration in the beginning, lol. v good video!
I guess you can say the things that Volgin fears more than Kaminari striking him.
Shemage and Froppy!
🍄 🐸
Ironically, Volgin is stronger than Kaminari, since Volgin has 10 million volts in his body while Kaminari could only go to 2 million before going dumb and useless
Respect for the Scott Steiner reference 💪🏻
Phantom Pain Volgin looks younger than MGS3 Volgin despite being like a couple of decades apart in the timeline
i love these videos about mgs can you make one about revolver ocelot? i would love to see your thoughts and breakdown of him
Good video, keep up the great work Meti!
you can actually see that Volgin as the Man On Fire is still wearing the same soviet coat when he's first shown in the hospital. He loses it when the helicopter fires a missile at him, unfortunately, so it's not around for long.
Volgin always was and always will be, a homie 👌
I legit wonder if Kojima also took inspiration from Ivan Drago. I mean, a big, burly, scary looking russian dude with bright blonde hair?
William Voligin: I always come back
"Kuwabara, Kuwabara....!" - me, after I stumble, before talking to a woman.
Love your content!❤❤❤
We making it out of the thunderous rains of Russia with this one 🔥 ⚡️ ‼️‼️⁉️🗣🗣🔥🔥
shit so good, i came back twice
when the only redeeming factor of the villain is that he's gay and in a loving relationship.
boys im so pumped for this remake
My favorite elemental
I am wondering if Volgin really had feelings for Raikov or if he was just displaying his power by abusing Raikovs body
I think that he had genuine feelings because of how angry he was when Snake hurt Raikov
unlikely, especially when you consider the difference between how he treats tatyana / eva and raikov.
tatyana is covered in scars, but raikov isn’t; he commands tatyana, but he waits for raikov; he doesn’t care for tatyana’s wellbeing (literally not caring that ocelot wanted to try and kill her, saying “do as you like”), but he’s violently defensive of raikov ("i will make him pay for hurting ivan”, “you will pay for what you did to ivan” / “i will avenge ivan”)
plus, the whole interaction if you wear the raikov mask during his boss battle!

23:39 what a wild headcanon
Is the Volgin crotch thing the weirdest thing Kojima has ever done or nah because with this man I honestly can't say for certain 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
please do Amuro Ray and Char Aznable/Full Frontal
Did you ever do a episode on fatman from mgs 2 or is the mandella effect happening to me ?
Make a video of Skull Face. "Major... IM BURNING UUUUUUUP!"
Yay more MGS!
Yoo can you do Black Lagoon characters next
So by using chaff grenade he won't be able to focus his attack on Snake?
LOL @ the Scott Steiner reference
Can you make a maki zenin analysis?
Wow I did not know that was Vulgin
"Holy sh!t! I have hands"
--Palpatine
Wait a minute 911 was bad
I never realized chaff affect him
Will you re-upload the Fatman video?
Maybe volgin has ties to nikola tesla experiments probably like in the red alert games. Soviets in video games usually have electrical and psychic weapons since Mantis is from russia and a psychic just like yuri from red alert 2
Who wins?
Senator Armstrong or Colonel Volgin?
Assuming MGS3 Volgin, Armstrong, since electricity (likely) powers his nanomachine. MGSV Volgin, Not certain.
Edit: MGS3 volgin wins, he can sap the energy out of the nanomachines.
@@Enderborn-qc2vwthat, or Volgin could possibly overload the nanomachines. We never saw how they could handle pure electricity/lightning, so Volgin at full power could possibly mess with them. That, or he could target the mechanical heart that controls them
Can make the video about Nier series
He give me major bison
0:09 DEN O MENTIONED
Far too many ads in this video
Happy Pride
Vulgin is one of my favorite characters, hes gay but doesnt let that be who he is. Hes more than that hes power!
You say this like being gay is a weakness 😭 lmao
I thought he was Bi since he was also sleeping around with Tatayana(Eva)
He’s bi actually
@enenra6417 I will say I never got that impression maybe it's confirmed in a codec but from my perspective he's gay and tortured Eva for his sick pleasure since hurting her would motivate sokolov. Secondly I more got the impression that Eva was actually messing around with boss since when you drag her through the forest their are voice lines that are a Lil sus.
@blindjustice5695 nah Eva wasn't messing around with the boss it seems that the boss saw her more as a kindred spirit due to their similar backgrounds. And after the torture scene Volgin tells Eva to meet him in his room even after he just 'killed' Sokolov. Also Sokolov says that Tatyana was Volgin's lover
1:33 i knew volgin was a flaming homosexual😂
Yaaaah
Let's get this video to a lot of views in the first hour so that it gets love from youtube
Algorithm bless this video which i liked even before watching it because it's that good
Seriously, sometimes i end up pissed off because i can't like it again after watching it, fix that youtube
Lots of words lots of engagement, yadda yadda
Please cover jotaro kujo.
His actually wears a mask ? What about the horns
Do the mask girl next
I call him Fury Volgin (fury from rage)
Instead of man on fire
Basicly bryan fury
Volgin isn't a cyborg, plus I believe he could have been beaten easily if he fight the Mishimas
Ahhh yes, the ultimate Metal gear villain: Vladimir Putin
meti video!!
Volgin's partner just looks like Raiden to me
Raikov was meant to be inside meta joke for the hate Raiden got during MGS2
@@jaredgarcia8638 honestly, if I played the games when they orignally released and had no internet connection, i would be so confused
akatsuki blitzkampf
Bisexuals stand up
Just another sadistic rich kid flexing power he didn't earn for his own ego and enjoyment.
The man loved blonde boys..
Nepotism
