I don't know if the manga is considered canon information, but I believe that we do know who properly bears the True Water, Lightning and Fire Runes. As for the Flame Champion, Sana clearly says he spends the rest of his short days with her in happiness. So, he didn't die of disease or wounds. The game makes it clear he dies of aging irregardless of the manga.
In the past I said the same thing that your saying, Red killey{and many others} shot me down saying that konami did not offcially say who the flame champion and bearer of the true fire rune is, I argued that the game points to hugo being the next flame champion and bearer of TF but they said that the game lets you decide which 1 bears the rune, therefore anyone could be the flame champion. After that I even said that the suikoden 3 manga has hugo as the flame champion and they all said that the manga is not offcial info, just 1 artist perspective
The entire reason I brought it up was because in suikosources info about the 27 true runes, it list the 3 elemental true runes as owned by any of the 3 and so I reported that as an error but everyone dissagreed with me and said its not official info
if you want, you can check out my thread in the section where we report possible problems in the site
I personally agree with you 100% and I think its preety obvious but people yelled at me for saying that too..... if you play suikoden 3 you can catch little hidden messages that chris is connected with water or you could just listen to the whole game urge the player to pick hugo as the flame champ....
