If I got everything above correctly, the theory is trying to say Gray Fox = Ishmael = Big Boss' look-alike. I have been saying that the door for Ishmael = BB is still open, but I felt the part on Gray Fox = Ishmael is not likely if not impossible. Hence I have been pointing back to the question on Ishmael's identity a few times.

Here are my feelings (yup, feelings only) over the few videos and arguments involved: I think some of the "evidences" to say GF is BB is too weak, such as the hair style and eye patch. We can have any kind of hair style as long as our hair is long enough and regardless of the environment we are in. As for hair colour, some rooms for debate is left open, but - read on about Ishmael in later paragraphs.

Despite the claim that futuristic equipments are found even in the MGSGZ segment, I'd say that piece of equipment is of a considerable size (at least it's like a walkman or something). To squeeze the solid-eye into a thin eye-patch is perhaps too much in 1984 and simply picking out the truck and binoculars thing doesnt make the eye patch = binoculars speculation stronger. Then they proceed to debate on the GF's and BB's faces and in different era along with the "horn" - well this is somewhat I am still confused and have no opinion on, besides, since they are debating on work-in-progress stuffs, it makes life even worse.

Pulling a few weak or doubtful evidences together doesnt make an arguement strong. The only evidence I consider strong enough, is the voice actor(s). Kiefer does sound like he is voicing Ishmael and this is why I said the door for Ishmael = BB is still open and we need to figure out Ishmael's identity should this be the case. So far I felt that we (including Yong and that other video maker) paid too little attention on Ishmael (and hey he's what really matters in this theory!). Let's not forget Ishmael can in theory be anyone and by extension he can have slightly different eye and hair colour.

Ah yes - on the Vapour Snake, again, I appreciate him putting all the Vs together but we need to fix the age of this Vapour Snake, especially if we are trying to link him to Big Boss.

I felt I missed out a lot of things but let's stop here on what I felt more obvious first.
