I guess you've got a point there. Well, at least Iga's retcons were better than Kojima's retcons, and not just to Metal Gear, either. And heck, Iga's treatment of female characters was still a lot better than Kojima's treatment of female characters, especially by the time of 4, what, with the whole Beauty and the Beast Unit thing, Cecile's characterization and the whole May 1968 thing she mentioned in Peace Walker (I'll put it this way: the Bimbettes from Disney's Beauty and the Beast came closer to being actual classy and intelligent women by comparison), especially when she falsely implied that the vast majority, if not all of the females in France basically turned out like, if I must be blunt, whores as a result of that event. And don't get me started with MGSV either, especially with its appalling treatment of Paz and Quiet (and the latter's even worse as Kojima wasn't even willing to own up to how he sexualized her, and gave her probably the most BS excuse to be scantily clad. Breathing through her skin via parasite therapy? Really? Especially when Code Talker, The End, and possibly even Skull Face had the same parasite therapy and had no actual problems with wearing clothes?). What's even worse is that Kojima claims feminist views (such as declaring that the 21st century will be the age where "women rescue men") and yet treated women even more like trash in Metal Gear than Iga ever did to the women in Castlevania. At least Iga was honest about his views about women, so I can at least respect that about him even if I don't agree with him.

Besides, he didn't necessarily have a problem with Sypha Belnades.
