If it's Chico, his fluent English accent is incompatible with being in a coma for 9 years, you can't simply learn to speak like that while being in a coma. If he wasn't in a coma, then why is he in the hospital? did he just happen to get wounded in time for BB's return? I find that hard to believe.

Personally I hope it's not Chico, I don't wanna see any Peace Walker characters again, they were all dull and easily forgettable, except Huey and Miller as they are important in the main canon.

The idea of Ishmael being in BB's mind is not farfetched and I can live with that, but I would prefer if it were a totally new character.

It could be possible Chico wasn't in a coma, and that he maybe used the bandages as a way to deny responsibility or guilt with what happened 9 years ago.
