And I was wondering if we had, anywhere in the vast ocean that is MGS' lore, something saying that Big Boss misses an arm. I'm no expert on the MGS series so these are just boeotian questions. Big Boss was burnt alive and you take issue with the absence of a few scars? Really the only places we've seen Big Boss outside of the prequels is MG1, MG2 and MGS4. While it never looked like he had a prosthetic arm in the original games, they were using fairly low detail sprites and have already been retconned like crazy. In four he was rebuilt using the bodies of his sons, explaining the lack of scars, and where he would get a new arm. Hell, he could have used a prosthetic arm in 4 and we'd never know, the only skin we saw on him was his head and neck, everything else was covered.
