He has retconned and altered the story of Merchant Path before, so it isn't new. Idk if he had retconed KGMC and KG&CE from SS to Tanpenshuu because there were some parts left out or left unexplained.

I do love Ricardo, the real Ricardo Welkin. Not the Al wannabe with a freakish and inhumane prosthetic that shouldn't exist. Is there any purpose to introduce a 2nd armless character, who has the same personality as Al, at this late of the game? Could've introduced him in the very beginning, I wouldn't mind it. Just like with the Elric Brothers or Guts.

It does actually. Because you'll never know that his arm will play a key role in the story. Maybe Pandora clone Ricardo and revive the wolfin species? Or maybe Julius and/or Subaru takes the arm away from Roy from the tower or from Lewis and give it back to him. Because remember, Lewis said that her brothers gives her stuff. Theres so many things that Tappei could do with Ricardo, but he treats him like trash and didnt give him a backstory and its like a wasted potential. So yes, my friend and BF, who literally has cancer, has to do with it. And Tappei has to take the wish wether he likes it or not and revive my uncle/father. If he doesnt, it could hurt the reputation and the identity of the series.
