Spoilers: What happened to Chico?

[!RJ_Truth]

So I'm replaying GZ and going through many things I didn't do the first time around. I'm sitting here thinking... Wait, we rescued Chico in GZ. I'm not seeing anything about what happened to him after we rescue him and Paz and we all know what happened to Paz, but where is Chico? He's not in TPP at all, so what happened to him? Where did he go?

He's dead; one of the tapes in TPP explains and confirms that Chico did not survive the helicopter crash at the end of Ground Zeroes.

There is concept art from TPP that was leaked which suggests that Kojima had planned for chico to become a stand alone character, like the Ninja in MGS1.

He took on the form of a demonic rogue-like character that used a chain with a scicle on the end of it.

If you had actually listened to all the tapes, you would know by now that he is dead.

Which tapes? TPP tapes or GZ tapes? I still don't have all the GZ tapes.

I think there's a TPP tape regarding the child soldiers' re-education, where Kaz mentions something about "not letting Chico's death be in vain".

This is a discussion thread about The Phantom Pain so obviously we are talking about TPP, duh. Next time 100% the game or do a bit of research on the metal gear wiki yourself.

Not exactly. This is a discussion thread about what happened to Chico and apparently, what happened to Chico was at the end of Ground Zeroes even though it wasn't visually shown. There are tapes in GZ that I haven't unlocked yet and 2 sideops that I haven't unlocked yet, so questioning if it's tapes in GZ or TPP is a valid question considering that I'm talking about Chico, who isn't in TPP at all other than.... apparently tapes.

Now if you intended to say this is a discussion FORUM and did not intend to say "a discussion thread", then that's another story and with that..... nobody uses the GZ forum anyway and we talk about all games in the series in this forum anyway despite it being for TPP, so that even further makes said point invalid..... but I digress.

Why doesn't have to be so difficult to come up with what is a simple answer? Okay, so the tapes being referred to are in TPP..... I think, because people don't like straight answers apparently.

BOOM!!!. Though if you check the concept art book, there is a cut content with Chico in it

Yeah he was supposed to be alive but they scrapped that

[No_Quarter]

there were 3 men on the hospital table, Big Boss, Kaz and Venom.
No one else survived the explosion and crash, I mean, Paz had a bomb in her, in her....

I'll remind you of the song in GZ:
Here's to you, Nicola and Bart
Rest forever here in our hearts
The last and final moment is yours
That agony is your triumph

a background on the song - it's about about two people who were sentenced to death in 1920's because of their beliefs, because of their opinions. That wasn't the court case tho, they were accused of murder that they did not do, only because both men adhered to an anarchist movement that advocated relentless warfare against a violent and oppressive government.

They were sentenced in 1921, executed in the electric chair in 1927.

In MGSV GZ that song is obviously about Chico and Paz, lyrics are straightforward
Here's to you, Nicola and Bart
Rest forever here in our hearts
is line you say about the dead when you want to honor them
The last and final moment is yours
they've had a brief moment before all went to $#it
That agony is your triumph
we all remember how we found them, Chico was so overtortured that he was scared of Big Boss's voice, that was not thinking straight, Paz was delirious, mumbling bs, her mind went into stasis which is not so rare for people who go trough agony and torture.
They died for their cause...

For me song seals the deal

also line
That agony is your triumph
was borrowed from news article that was written by a journalist who spoke to both Nicola and Bart while they were in prison, waiting for execution

Chico died on the ending of GZ, there is actualy a tape aswell in TPP that tells this.


simple straight answer, easy.
