But where is there any evidence in future games that Chico was a crucial character that needed to survive in order to prevent any of that from happening? At the present moment, we don't even know if Big Boss meets back up with the FSLN and Amanda, if they work together or not. For all we know, the FSLN could just head on back to Nicaragua and never be heard from again.

Do you see where this is going though? To derailment, that's where. It's doubtful Boss would kill Chico, seeing as he tried to save Paz. He could have easily chucked her out the helicopter upon discovering she had a bomb. Boss understands that many people are being manipulated by The Patriots. He also understands the dual nature of humanity, which he learned from The Boss's betrayal. Perhaps that changes, but so far in the trailers he's been unscrupulous about alliances. Teaming up with former enemies Ocelot and Skull Face, and recruiting enemy soldiers.

Chico could survive beyond Phantom Pain if A) Kojima leaves room open for another game between PP and MG1. Or B) Turns out to be Solidus, Decoy Octopus, or some obscure character like General Augustine Eguabon from Ghost Babel. Character arcs are subject to change depending on whether the next Metal Gear is a remake or something new.

I wasn't saying for sure he would kill Chico, it was just a notion we were entertaining perhaps. Don't forget that Big Boss will be different to how we've seen him before, he's going to be more unhinged and unpredictable. He will be a 'demon', quite literally by the way his character has been designed to look as well as behave.

We're all dying to see how it'll be.
