I am just gonna say it. I think Ishamel is Chico after 9 years. It makes sense as Chico was on the plane as well when it crashed, causing all the burn marks. Also, Chico could be still very guilty of being one of the main factors behind the fall of Mother Base and Snake's coma, explaining why he is so sensitive about getting the mask removed. It makes sense in terms of that Chico is ashamed and guilty of all the stuff he did to Big Boss, and he wants to redeem himself. It's possible, but for the voice actor used to be Kiefer Sutherland, thereby eliminating the accent that Chico has in Peace Walker and Ground Zeroes, is strange. Also, since the voice of Kiefer was chosen for Snake as it fits the age of Snake, then wouldn't Ishmael be a lot older? Chico would only be about 22 around the time of The Phantom Pain.
