ISHMAEL is nothing more then a imagination/hellucination of big boss.

most of all people say it is due to the PTSD big boss is suffering but i strongly contradict it.

i say it is due to that BLACK ROCK(quartz like texture) thing stuck in big boss's brain partially ,thats why he is hellucinating things around him.

Not just ISHMAEL but the child mentis ,fiery demonic volgin figure, gaint firey whale all are result of that rock inside his brain causing his fantasy imagination to mix up with the reality around him.

we will also going to fight those imagination throughout the game. in METAL GEAR SOLID V PHATOM PAIN XTENDED GAMEPLAY TRIAILER DIRECTOR'S CUT there is an introductory clip of these imagination Labeled "THOSE WHO DON'T EXIST"

Yes, im pretty sure the debris inside his head gonna have a role in the story somehow but those things your calling "halliucinations" are probably induced by Psycho Mantis as we all know he did have a thing with fire seeing as he used it to burn his village to the ground and kill everyone there and he also used it on Solid Snake in MGS1. As for the theories of Ishmael, anything goes at this point(well at least the sensible ones...) and i wouldnt scrub any out while some are obviously more likely than others
