Late theory, but this vol is gonna pull a Berserk reference on us, which I do not want. I did, I'm not kidding, encounter a email and researched on a guy named Gõtz von Berlichingen, aka Götz of the Iron Hand, which is also based on a famous as a euphemism for a vulgar expression "Er kann mich am Arsch lecken", which in transtion: "He can lick my ass". The things that I found notes was:

1) Based on a Eastern Europian history and characher like almost most of the characters' in this series that is based on europian names and/or history (ie reinhard, petelguese, etc). 2) He lost his right arm from a cannon during the siege and replaced with an iron prostetic. 3) Continued to be a knight and a mercenary for over 40 years after getting the iron hand. 4) After a merchant-punching life suitable for an elder scrolls MC, he was outlawed by the roman empire, friends of his used a high diplomacy roll and a bribe to get him out, and he almost get kidnapped by the bishop. 5) After outlaw of the holy roman empire, 2 eletric boogaloo was placed under house arrest in a castle he had purchased with all his quest rewards to spend the next 20 years drunk.

This was all preempted and mostly gonna be part of the future arc, and I really hope that it doesn't happen to Ricardo because it'll be a waste of a character and that's killing him and me off. So I really hope someone tell Tappei to "not" lose a limb and make a gigantic change to the LN version.
