Big Boss vs. Darth Vader, as a Season Premiere, because something something Vader.

Both are:

Tragic Heroes in the literary sense, and some of the best modern examples of the type

Technologically augmented with prosthetics and specialized equipment both for work and to live (Nanomachines + Robot Hand vs. Darth Vader's suit and other protheses)

Directly aided in large-scale war out of a misinterpretation of an older mentor's? prophecy (Boss's Legacy vs. Anakin the Chosen One)

Began as a well intentioned hero, with training since childhood, only to gradually become a demon from their own faults and actions. (Naked Snake -> Big Boss vs. Anakin Skywalker -> Vader)

Unknowingly created a future villain with a similar image and a motivation involving an obssession with them, as well as an evil organization by their actions (Kylo Ren and the First Order vs. Liquid/Solidus and the Patriots)

Realizes their faults and repents at the literal moment of their death, encountering their respective sons as a heaving, mangled and broken old man (MGS4 Solid Snake vs. Episode VI Luke)

Killed by their own son.

Repaired by a villanious organization, and turned against by their own friends.

May or may not have killed kids at some point during their descent into villainy.
