The scene in episode 18 when August had “shin splints” made me think there are two possible reasons: a) he had an old leg injury or b) he had a wooden leg. The first reason might be reconciled to the theory that August is Bae, since presumably, Bae could have been injured serving in the Ogre War. Yet, that doesn’t explain how Bae could be alive centuries later in SB. The second reason could be that August is actually Pinocchio and has some leftover wooden parts from his days as a puppet. Also, the idea that August says he never lies also resembles how Pinocchio said he never lied, but then did, as indicated by his growing nose. It was only when Pinocchio stopped telling lies that he became a “real boy” (which was hinted at in episode 16 when August said the stories were as real as him).
The idea that August could be both Bae and Pinocchio is interesting, but also full of difficulties. How do we explain the discontinuity between the ages and the hair colors? Bae had brown hair and was 13 last we saw him. Pinocchio was a boy of 7 and had red hair. Those are hard to reconcile in my mind.
