Ish isn't Solidus Why not? If he literally grew up waiting for this man to wake up as he realizes that he looks just like him, his fixation on him would be tremendous. That's is not a counter argument. It's a substantiation.

I'm just saying, the hint is in the biblical name to the extent of being painfully obvious: Kojima is known for these symbologies. Some of the theories I read here are extremely convoluted even to his standards, when the connective thread between the two major story arcs has already been established well beforehand.

As for theories about him being perhaps Grey Fox, the context in which they meet again is in Africa, with Naomi in tow. Not in a hospital. So if we are seeing him again (and I suspect it will) it won't be some outlandish spin on the story. That story was already told by two characters in MGS1 and it is thoroughly consistent. What you heard is what you will get.

Two missing pieces here that are likely to be brought up are, coincidentally, Shadow Moses conspirators, and given the reveal of a younger Mantis and Liquid, I'm inclined to see the additional reveals as being around Octopus and Solidus, which were key parts of the conspiracy and pretty much senior officers in Foxhound Unit by the time that episode takes place.

Remember this game goes full circle for the fans. according to Kojima. Every plot that will be presented will greet fans with tie-ins with the original MSX games, but that's just the appetizer. It aims to throroughly explain why Shadow Moses had to happen, as that is the true milestone in this franchise that brought it to popularity.

All plots lead to MGS 1, I can put my bottom dollar on that.
