* CorruptedCharacterCopy: The Core is this to [[VideoGame/MetalGear Outer Heaven]]. Both are large soldier nations that participate in global conflicts, but where they differ greatly is the underlying reason behind their creation and how their ranks are populated. Big Boss conceived Outer Heaven as a way to give a home to soldiers who had been abandoned by their governments, ensuring they always had a battlefield to be on, with its membership primarily consisting of adult soldiers who had either become disillusioned with their own superiors or were swayed by Big Boss's natural charisma. Whatever children made up their ranks were those Big Boss personally rescued from various warzones, and he openly opposed artificially creating an army of ChildSoldiers. On the flipside, The Core's main armies consist ''entirely'' of children born and raised in The Core's underground bunkers, taught only how to fight and to follow Eugene's orders above all else. Rather than be a place intended to give soldiers purpose, The Core is just a cultivation ground for mindlessly obedient drones made to bring about one megalomaniacs vision of world domination. [[spoiler:That is to say nothing of The Core replenishing its ranks by kidnapping civilian women and turning them into [[BreedingSlave Breeding Slaves]].]]

The overall narrative does on to condemn the authorities advocating for and inciting war under the excuse of bringing peace and security while demonstrating just how damaging the threat of war is to civilian society, only serving to create a world where everyone falls in line under megalomaniacs out of fear.

The only characters shown exhibiting absolute loyalty towards their leaders wind up committing a ton of atrocities in their name under the belief that they're ushering in a better world. In reality, their loyalty is nothing more than BlindObedience, and the ones they follow see them as nothing more than replaceable drones. Those on the heroes' side all actually bothered to question their actions and decided that their morals weren't worth compromising regardless of what the majority around them advocated for.
