Fullmetal Alchemist

[Emperor Time]

I wonder who Al will end up with?

[Sasori-puppet#270]

i love fma, but the anime cuts off. it was made only around volume.10 - 20 maybe, and it's a great deal shorter, but it's also very different. so after the lab 5 ordeal (i think that's where they begin to differ) the events in the manga and the events in the anime are completely different.

but if you do watch the anime, make sure to watch the movie too. i think the ending of the anime absolutly sucks, and the movie is a follow-up to the series, so it provides an alternate ending :)

[Emperor Time]

Which is why the manga is better than the anime.

[adam5aby]

i thought the ending of the anime was pretty good.

the last 2 episodes were a bit rushed but the idea that ed would save his brother, even if they were in 2 different worlds, was pretty damn awesome


and im surprised no one posted these links yet:

oh crap, gluttony is back...what the hell was AL doing without hohenheim.


and what the hell is the FMA crew going to do until the "promised day"? seems like it's months away.

[KonohaWind]

Dang! In that last chapter, I just noticed how much taller Ed is than Winry. Wow.

http://www.onemanga.com/Full_Metal_Alchemist/84/16/

http://www.onemanga.com/Full_Metal_Alchemist/84/17/

What a relief that he's not a dwarf!:awesome

And lol, he called her woman. Ed is now officially her pimp. But that look was pretty shippish.:jk

[Soul Vibe]

84 has been out for a while :oh

i loved the EdxWinry moment :dance

[KonohaWind]

84 has been out for a while :oh

i loved the EdxWinry moment :dance

I just got into the manga not to long ago and just read 84 yesterday.

Lol, those are supposed to be moments when they were just glaring at each other?

My mom and dad used to do that all the time and it was nothing special.

My mom is all like, "Where do you think you're going?!"

My dad was then like, "Woman please!"

Awwww....good times before he got his ass kicked by my mom.:awesome

I wonder how old Rose is.

[Soul Vibe]

well, if anything it just proves how much these two characters have matured since the beginning of the manga. Ed's now taller than Winry, a dependable man on which Winry can always count on. Winry is a woman in her own right as well now, no longer the girl she used to be, with a career and the mentality to keep a level head in situations that would otherwise call for immaturity (such as the Scar confrontation).

i really hope these two dont get fucked over like they did in the movie :scry

[Emperor Time]

I wonder if Al and Mei will fall in love in a couple of years?

[KonohaWind]

:nuts

I know im immature.:D:

[Emperor Time]

I'm way more immature at times.

[KonohaWind]

I'm way more immature at times.

^:hehee

Seriously, does anyone know how old Rose is?

[Emperor Time]

I have no idea about Rose's age?

[Tomoya]

She would probably be around Ed/Al's age, but as to the exact number...

[OmegaTrooper]

i'm pretty sure she's a few years older than ed, but really not that much. probably no more than 3 or 4.

[Hidd3N_NiN]

I just read the latest chapter. Wow, I never really noticed this until now but Ed is now taller than Winry. I think he was shorter than her when the manga started.

And Gluttony's back. :amazed

[adam5aby]

something that always confused me about the manga is that everyone always splits up and always gets into trouble

haven't they figured out that sticking together is going to keep them alive longer?


in the anime, ed and al never split up...

[Emperor Time]

Well I think Rose age is 17 or 18. Also I am pretty sure that both Ed and Al will have a happy ending.

[James]

Almost that time of the month again. :argh

Hoping for an early-ish raw this time. We should be gearing into the final arc soon now so I expect things will be hotting up.

[Emperor Time]

How can it be the final arc if all the villians except Lust are still alive?

[James]

How can it be the final arc if all the villians except Lust are still alive?

Think about things realistically, everything is gearing up to a "promised day" that signals that it's where the story is going to meet its climax, or soon after. Manga doesn't last forever and originally I believe Arakawa had thought she'd have the story wrapped up in about 80 odd chapters but it seems she's gone a bit over that. Well I can't remember the exact quote but I recall something similar from an old interview.

She definitely mentioned though that when she was getting towards the end she'd start progressing quite briskly towards it focused on wrapping everything up. Sure all the homonculus other than Lust are technically "alive" but that doesn't mean they all still have huge amounts to do and some of their deaths might be over more quickly than we'd really expect.

It'll definitely be done within the 100 chapter mark I think, or if not then slightly over at most.

[Blaze of Glory]

Here's a summary of Chapter 85

Chapter 85: "Empty Box"

Warning this contains spoilers btw people :pek

(This summary still contains typos and other errors... I will come back later for corrections. ^^)

Caption: Is everyone ready and prepared to open the battle? Remember... after destruction, comes reconstruction...

Central. The Armstrong mansion.

Olivier is inside, and looks around the interior that had been destroyed by the fight between the her and her brother.
Neighbors watch the estate being repaired and whisper to each other... I hear the parent and their daughter Olivier were not getting along well... I hear no one is living in the house now... She might have gotten the estate by force, but the mansion is like an empty box now...

As Olivier watches the repairs getting done, Mustang drops by.
They look around the mansion.
Mustang: "The place is enormous. We can house a whole army company, or even a whole battalion in this place."
Olivier tells Mustang that if anything happens to her, she will pass on the place to Mustang.

Later, to congratulate her becoming the head of Armstrong family, a bouquet of Hyacinth flowers from Mustang to Olivier arrives.
The card on the bouquet reads: Selim Bradley is a Homunculus.
Hyacinth flowers symbolize "Gentle loveliness"
On contrary... Olivier throws the bouquet into a bonfire, along with the card with the secret message.


East. Military exercise ground for the Northern and Eastern armies joint training exercise.

Bradley is observing the exercise. It has been going smoothly. Too smoothly. Bradley wonders what Grumman is up to, what he is planning...
Meantime, Grumman is playing his usual aloof character: "Maybe we will just blast off whole observation stand where Bradley is, in the midst of the confusion of the exercise battle. Gahaha."
Miles, who is accompanying Grumman, receives a message that Al is missing.

Bradley receives the message also.
He is visited by General Hakuro, who tells Bradley that the joint Military exercise is a decoy. While Bradley is away, there will be an uprising in Central by remaining Ishval terrorist members. However, that is a decoy as well, and their true goal is that in the midst of confusion of the upheaval, Mustang and the company, in cooperation with the Ishvalans, is planning to take over the Central Headquarters.

Bradley checks out the validity of information brought in by General Hakuro. The information seems to be valid, and also there seems to be no move from Grumman, hence Bradley decides to leave and head back to Central.


The military train on the way to Central.

The herd of sheep crosses the railroad track. The train is forced to make a stop.
But, this is also part of plan by Grumman and Mustang.
While the train is in stationary, someone separates the engine car from the rest, and the explosions destroy piers of the bridge where the passenger car with Bradley and his subordinates is parked. The passenger car with Bradley and his subordinates falls into the river.

Someone is observing this scene nearby. He is the one who pushed the switch for the explosions. He reports this to another man. Others also join in. They are soldiers who fought under Mustang during the Ishval war. They head for Central.


East. Military exercise ground for the Northern and Eastern armies joint training exercise.
General Hakuro, who stayed behind while Bradley headed for Central, received a message that the Führer is missing. It seems that the information provided by Hakuro to Bradley was planted by Grumman to send Bradley to the trap.

Grumman also officially receives the message that Bradley is missing. Grumman dissembles: "Must be the work of the Ishval terrorist. How scary!"


Central. At the hide-away house.
Lieutenant Hawkeye is making the preparations for the battle.
Along side her, there is also Breda and Fuery who deserted their headquarters to join this battle in Centarl.

The Führer Bradley is missing. Selim has gone to the East with Bradley also.
Time to make the move.....


Central Headquarters. Führer's war room.

After receiving the message that the Führer is missing, the top brasses gather and discuss what to do. Olivier observes this calmly, and as she decides on the timing to make her move...
Behind her, Father appears, accompanied by Sloth.
He put his hand on Olivier's shoulder who is standing terrified. and tells: "Calm down. I'm here in the Central."


Central. Inside Kanama slum.

Ed and the gang meet up with Hohenheim.
First thing first, Ed punches Hohenheim. With his right arm.
Hohenheim sees Greed's tattoo. They decide to share all the information with each other.
Hohenheim reveals about him also.

After hearing everything, Ed is in astonishment.
Hohenheim asks Ed: "I'm the Philosopher's Stone you have been seeking for. Will you use me? "
Ed answers: "That Stone is the product of taking many lives who are all strangers to me. We lost parts of our own bodies because of our own mistakes. We have no rights to use that stone."
Hohemheim: "I'm glad I have a son who can say that."

Though not completely accepting him yet, Ed decides to join and fight alongside Hohenheim.

Ed passes to Hohenheim a message from Pinako about Trish's last words to Hohenheim: "Sorry, I could not keep my promise. I'm going ahead."
Hearing that, Hohenheim weeps: "We couldn't age and die together, but you trust me that I will follow you later. I will see you soon, Trisha!"

Before going into the battle they eat and Ed changes to his Red coat. Ed: "this is going to to be the last battle with them."

Ed tells the Chimeras who had followed Ed that they do not have to go along with Ed any farther. They answer that they do not have any other places to go, and if they couldn't get their previous bodies back that's all right, but their "wild instinct" tells them that they will probably see the better results if they stay."

Greed is hearing this, and smiles to self, mattering: "I'm not telling them..."

Then, suddenly, Al appears in front of Ed.
Greed senses something is wrong. Ed also notices that the sound Al's armor makes is different.
Ed asks Al if anything is wrong. Greed runs out to Ed and tells him: "Get away from him! He is... he is..."

Right after that, Ed is attacked by the shadows that appeared from the ground, and Ed barely escapes the attack.

Al speaks: "You're over here with them, Greed?" And, I hear you were overtaken by human inside? Your soul is such a weakling.."
Everywhere inside Al's armor is Pride's black body!!"

Caption: Al has been tainted by the evil!!!



(End of chapter 85)

[spaZ]

Than spoiler tag it....

[Taxman]

yes spoiler tags were made for a reason

*spoiler tags*

[Blaze of Glory]

My bad you guys :P


Was so tired I forgot :sweatdrop

[darthpsykoz]

iam kinda confused by the manga,
does ed now know the other alchemy? or else battling the original homuculus seems pointless

[Hidd3N_NiN]

Well, we can safely conclude this is the final arc now with the chp 85 spoilers. Everything is moving into place now it seems

[adam5aby]

this is un-related to FMA, but I was wondering if any of you guys knew if there's a Berserk Pimping thread on the forums?

Also, if there's a separate site where I can DL high-quality manga scanlations of Berserk?

My friend told me it's one of the few series that rivals FMA.

[Dracule Mihawk]

Waiting one month for one chapter of FMA is annoying. It should end on the promised day, if it stretches on after that I'll be pissed.

[Tomoya]

It's been going on for a while, yeah. Hopefully it will end soon, and we can move on to other things.

[Sasori-puppet#270]

i agree with dracule, even if it ends at chapter 100, that's still a year. that means it'll end around october 2009. don't get me wrong, i like FMA and it's one of my favourite manga, but still, it's a bit of a drag waiting a month. by the time the month's up, i forget what's going on and i get confused. i'm just hoping for a good fullfilling ending that answers everything.

and an actual ending at that. please not like the anime's ending. those kind of endings drive me crazy.

[James]

Man need a trans soon the raw for this chapter is fucking awesome.

The panel with Hohenheim crying over Trisha's last words is one of the most beautiful in the manga to me, a very powerful moment since it's been built up ever since the beginning. The ending seriously rules too, Al completely filled with Pride is an awesome idea and it's gonna be an interesting fight if they seriously battle.

Oh and the page with Sloth and Father behind Olivia is badass too.

[Geg]

Man this chapter was awesome. There were so many "wow" pages lol

[Shibo]

Interesting chapter, some funny parts as well :3

omg im so excited, I want the new chapter X3

[Blind Itachi]

These are the times when I make good use of my :argh face...

[Roy Mustang]

Had a satisfying amount of mustang

[Cipher]

Poor Al. Everything seems to happen to him. :(

Epic chapter. Can't wait for the next one, it's gonna be awesome. :del

[omg laser pew pew!]

What's Sloth doing in Central? Isn't he meant to be tearing Briggs to shreds? Also I almost shed a tear for Hohenheim.

[The World]

Lol damn The Father(of homonculi that is) was creepy and Edward i loled when his father was crying. :hehee

Pride looked so badass infecting Al. :ohpek

[Tomoya]

Yeah, I have no idea what Sloth is doing in Central. That confused me...

[Dracule Mihawk]

The part with Hohenheim was sad. Well, it seems he foreshadowed his own death in this chapter.

[Shade]

Hohenheim is as good as dead now but I still feel for him.

[darthpsykoz]

is al even alive? i mean one little scratch from pride on the seal and his soul will be flying to the gate rite?
and why not use the souls in hoenheim? i mean they're freaking dead and waiting to be used...

[KonohaWind]

One question. Is promised day the day when everyone is supposed to die. Do Ed and Al even know when the freaking day is?:wha

[Incubus]

New chapter? :iria

Must read. :high

[Hidd3N_NiN]

Woo, awesome chapter. Somehow I have a feeling quite a number of characters are going to die by the end of the Promised Day.

[omg laser pew pew!]

Lol damn The Father(of homonculi that is) was creepy and Edward i loled when his father was crying. :hehee

Pride looked so badass infecting Al. :ohpek

Yeah, Pride totally accentuated the already somewhat menacing features to devilish levels

lol It's been out for awhile



well then, why didn't you post it if you knew?

this is where i go to learn if its out or not.

[Mider T]

Maybe if you, I dunno, at least read the posts if not check manga distributing websites first you would know.

http://d.hatena.ne.jp/moonphase/20080707

[Inuhanyou]

Yea, moonphase confirmed it a few hours ago, i had the rumor of a new "season" of the anime a few days ago, but it was shot down..i guess it wasn't so wrong after all! But then again, darker than black season 2 is still on..

[Mider T]

It's funny Moonphase has their shit leaked to excited fans only to tell them it was false because they wanted to keep their reputation of safeseal.....many people were disappointed. Later they confirm it.

It's basically like

".....donttellanyoneaboutfma"
"Huh?!? FMA! SUGOI!"
"Yeah what that guy said about the brand new FMA anime.....that was a lie"
":amazed....:oh......:("
"

Few weeks later

"Yeah everything that guy said was true, we were just lying"
":notrust"

[Hidd3N_NiN]

Can't understand any of the text but does it say whether its following the manga storyline or does it still follow its anime storyline?

[Inuhanyou]

this is manga material, completely new anime,based on the manga similar to the hellsing ova's without the ova part

[Mider T]

For god's sake, read this page at least

[Hidd3N_NiN]

Lol, oops. Haha, I scrolled all the way down and went up and only looked up the link. Thanks for the clarification.

[Blaze of Glory]

If they do do another FMA anime

It should be a combination of the anime and manga mixed together :awesome

That will be so much win that your brain will explode from it's epicness :zaru

[Cipher]

:high New FMA anime! :iria

[Lo$tris]

OMG! So it's true XD I wonder how many episodes it will be, or if they gonna do it from the very start or from the point where the anime broke off the manga... :/
Either way I can't wait!

[omg laser pew pew!]

Why would they want to ruin the manga?

[Blaze of Glory]

^

How would that ruin the manga?

I'm saying take pieces of the manga and mix it with the anime plot from before

like

Dante being the main villain still

but we see "Father" from the manga and plays some important role

parts of the Shadowy Pride the homunculi

Ling Yao should make his appearance right after the Greed fight too :high

Ran Fan and them

Also Armstrong's sister included :high

[omg laser pew pew!]

You want Dante as the main villain over Father?

wut

[MuNaZ]

You want Dante as the main villain over Father?

wut

agreed... WUT? :argh

Didn't they already do that before? LOL

[adam5aby]

great to see that hohenheim has emotions.

Also nice assasination attempt on the fuhrer. I wonder who planned that out.

How did the fuhrer's camp find out about the training exercise and the ishvalian attack and now that those were diversions?


Lastly, for this supposed new FMA anime: what company is going to be producing/animating it? Same directors and artists? When is it slated to come out? That page that was linked to were all question marks for my computer

[Mider T]

Relax they haven't even officially announced it yet (they will in December) but it doesn't really matter anyhow. You'll watch it out of curiosity.

[Hellion]

I loved how Al is being used by Salem, it was a nice twist.

[Sasori-puppet#270]

I loved how Al is being used by Salem, it was a nice twist.

yeah, the chapter wouldn't have been anything special without it.
but what i'd like to know now
is to what extent can salem control al?
i mean is it just the body, or body and mind?

and it would be absolutly freakin crazy if salem erased al's seal :apathy

[El Torero]

Guys, FMA is in the list of finalists for manga of the month for...5th consecutive time! Come on, too many times failing hard in the last moment :facepalm

[Zelos Hokage]

I just finished the anime, now i need to read the manga.

[Cipher]

EVERYBODY VOTE FOR FMA FOR MOTM! :argh

[Taxman]

Sometime around August 10th

[_Claire_]

yeah, the chapter wouldn't have been anything special without it.
but what i'd like to know now
is to what extent can salem control al?
i mean is it just the body, or body and mind?

and it would be absolutly freakin crazy if salem erased al's seal :apathy

I don't think Salim/Pride erased the seal, but the thing is Pride is an entity and Al really is only a soul. So, yeah, I think Salim/Pride took over completely, but there must be an inner escape just like with Ling and Greed. If Al's soul is strong enough, he can break through Pride's possession? Or perhaps Hoenhiem will have to step up and open the gate to get Al's body back, then break his soul free from Pride. Curiouser and curiouser...:huh

[omg laser pew pew!]

It had both Greed and Oliver Miller Armstrong

If that didn't make you orgasm then I don't know what will

Newest chapters out

http://www.onemanga.com/Full_Metal_Alchemist/86/01/

[Kage no Yume]

Newest chapter is full of WIN.

Especially the ending. That was just...it was the perfect way to end the chapter.

[Moridin]

it was epic stuff indeed, loved the way it all panned out and eds way of dealing with pride.

[Danse]

OMG SO EPIC

im so loving whats going on in the manga atm

[Hope]

Loved this chapter. I like what's happening with it atm. :LOS

[Gaelek_13]

The real bit of awesomeness for me had to be:

Ran-Fan returning to pwn Gluttony :P

[Danse]

The real bit of awesomeness for me had to be:

i squealed at that part :high

does anyone have a dl'able version of the new chapter.

i like reading them via cDisplay

[Hidd3N_NiN]

Great Chapter.

Nice to see Ran Fan again. Can someone refresh my memory? Ran Fan went to find Winry to get Automail long ago right?

[Blaze of Glory]

^

Correct

[Moon]

Manga pride is so freaking awesome :gar

[Gentleman]

Great Chapter.

Nice to see Ran Fan again. Can someone refresh my memory? Ran Fan went to find Winry to get Automail long ago right?

I thought the old guy told Ed that they weren't going to see Winry and that they couldn't accept that, so they were going to go find someone else. I could be wrong though.

[Curry]

I can't wait for the next chapter. :-(

:ruri

[Mider T]

When do the spoilers come out?

[Mattaru]

Manga pride is so freaking awesome :gar

:wtf I know

The first time he went to bust down Greed was epic.
I finally see why people advocate the manga over the anime.
It's vastly superior, as much as I enjoyed the anime :LOS


:LOS :LOS :LOS ~ Looking forward to the next chapter. I'm not familiar with FMA releases, it's monthly I presume?

[Aeon]

^Yup, next chapter should be out around the 12th-15th of the month.

[katon_sage]

what do you think the next plot twist will be? even tho the homunculi were based off of 7 deadly sins i think it would be cool to see an 8th homunculi that is like...ummm... the best analogy i can think of is satan on steroids and high on PCP

[Mider T]

^No, that'd ruin the story.

[Springlake]

what do you think the next plot twist will be? even tho the homunculi were based off of 7 deadly sins i think it would be cool to see an 8th homunculi that is like...ummm... the best analogy i can think of is satan on steroids and high on PCP
^No, that'd ruin the story.
Now 7 anti-hominculi based on the virtues? Sure as hell would ruin the story as well but still :awesome

[Ephemere]

hey what d'you people think about FMA?

I haven't seen the anime but the manga's good, almost rivals Naruto

Yeah, if it didnt curbstomp Naruto with characters Im almost quite sure that you could call them rivals. Hahaha, Im joking, but I do think the series is better

[Mider T]

Yeah, if it didnt curbstomp Naruto with characters Im almost quite sure that you could call them rivals. Hahaha, Im joking, but I do think the series is better

What you just quoted was a post from 4 years ago by a guy who was 12 years old then.

[adam5aby]

what was up with that general/commander who has in on the fuhrer's train explosion.

he seemed to have his own goals when thinking about how to overtake the homunculi.

is he a bad guy? or a bad guy with good guy tendencies? I suppose this is the real draw of FMA. never black and white, just shades of gray.



also what's with ling and greed switching whenever they want. I thought that ling's persona was long gone. can someone explain how he made a comeback?



lastly, any further developments on the proposed new FMA anime series?

[Schwarzwald]

ah good this thread's active again

Manga pride flat out doesn't give a shit and that's what makes him so badass, his face last chapter is just absolutely epic the whole way.

Lion King's screwed though unless you can get Gluttony to be stupid again and swallow Pride which I'm predicting is going to be the strategy this chapter.

But I don't think Hoeinheim's going to get involved just yet so I think the players are all here, now just to see how they will be used.


@adam, I heard something about the new FMA coming out after the new year shortly, but that may of just been when they were going to officially announce it so I might and probably am wrong

[Mider T]

^It's the new anime, based entirely off of the manga.

[TopClass HAt]

Well after hearing for so long the manga was better I finally read it, and I agree with the y'all 100%. Manged to read from the beginning to current in a couple of days and I'm loving it. So do we know for sure that the new anime is going to be a new manga adaptation , or is it going to be a sequel to the original anime?

[Freija]

I actually loved the anime >_>

And there's a new anime coming up ?

[Taxman]

yeah there's a new anime coming out...we'll be getting more details by the end of the year...hopefully it'll actually follow the manga this time.

[Freija]

Fucking ace.... is it OVA ?

[TopClass HAt]

The anime was great at it's by far it's one of my favorite of all time. The thing is with the manga their is just something about the story that I find much more appealing. So the end if this year we get some info, meh why do we have to wait so long :cry?

[Freija]

Japanese people hate the audience ?

[Nagasumi]

The raw for chapter 87 is out.

http://www.mediafire.com/?yyhhwb55gte

[Nuzzie]

and a great chapter it is

[Freija]

Great chap as usual...

[Geg]

Whoa

Well, Gluttony's dead. For good this time by the looks of it. I was actually kind of expecting him to die this time around, most likely by Ling and Lanfan, but I wasn't expecting him to go out like that :uwah

[Freija]

He went like a bitch

[Muk]

great chap

FMA delivers


awe gluttony

he was like the funny guy in the group

but wow nice fight scene though

[Freija]

Didn't enjoy the fight that much really.

[El Torero]

I find there is a lack of deaths of good characters in the manga. Only Hughes. I hope one or two more surprising deaths of 2-3 good persons :LOS

lol Pride ate Gluttony

[Freija]

Yeah, personally I've never liked protagonist deaths in mangas, but this one actually needs more.

[Aeon]

Well I certainly didn't think Gluttony would go out like that. :lmao

[Freija]

^no one did XD

[Mider T]

Gluttony's death is slightly ironic.

[Freija]

I didn't really think so :arg

[Mider T]

Scan up @ mangafox

[Moridin]

great chapter, loving ran fan haha

the selim/ed interaction was nice and their skirmish was good.

best part for me was seeing Roy and co re-united though

[Aeon]

It actually is very ironic.

[Felix]

Loved this chapter
Like the usual

And yeah, confirmed (Again) of a new TV adaptation

[Wuzzman]

Epic metal alchemist. Wow...just uber.

Is it just me or was the wait seem longer?

Also B.I. I asked you for your specialty avatar, banana style

[Cipher]

I almost feel sorry for Gluttony, coming back to life just to get killed again... :(

[bravin_time]

Man, this chapter had so many "F**K YEAH :yell" moments that I almost fainted


Let's see, there was the Ran-Fan pwnage, carbon automail, double-sin homonculus, 'Mustang crew unite!', and Hoenheim bout to lay the smack down .............. I eagerly anticipate the next chapter :quite

[TopClass HAt]

Wow this chapter was great! Next chapter is gonna be freaking sweet Hoenheim vs Pride.

[Nizuma Eiji]

But another month, is a helluva wait. October, can't get here soon enough. At least it's 40+ pages everytime.

[Mider T]

^Glad it is. Would suck if a monthly manga wasn't.

[Mattaru]

When is Ed going to achieve Bankai :(

Epic Chapter. Hohenheim's appearance was awesome too, especially after Donkey Kong's "There's a presence here that overshadows all of them..."
Love it. ~~ I miss Lust and Gluttony already though.

[laly]

Madam Christmas is Roy's momma :omg

[Mider T]

Step mother

[Moon]

What's the trans of this page?

http://img42.onemanga.com/mangas/00000010/000078042/46-47.jpg

Big fan of the anime :amuse

[Mider T]

It's an announcement for the upcoming anime series

[Moon]

That all it says? Aww.

[Freija]

All ? It's awesome, new animé.

[Kereo]

Awsome chapter indeed and WHEEE, new anime :D

But eh, did that armstrong lady decide to side with the homonculus or what? And yeah, ran fan looked awsome.

[Freija]

Probably it's a trap.

[uchiha-alia]

i dont think general armstrong will have sided with the homunculus, its all an act.

LAST CHAP WAS AWESOME :argh

[Freija]

Yeah, Armstrongs don't side with fags!

[namikaze uzumaki]

i loved this anime and the movie perfect

[BlueDemon]

Last chapter was cool.
Hope Hohenheim kicks some ass ^^

Can´t wait for the next chapter :D

[Freija]

Me neither, these last chaps are super epic.

[hussamb]

the manga will end next chapter???

[Freija]

Hope not :argh

[Mider T]

It can't, there's absolutely no way they could pull that off and tie up the loose ends.

[KonohaWind]

Epic chapter is epic.

I came.:del

[Freija]

I disagree.

[Tenacious Lee]

it doesnt get as much hype as it deserves, i havent decided myself but i might like it more then naruto. FMA has everything i like in manga, and ties it together really well. i love all the characters too. is it true that there making a new anime?

[Freija]

Anyone who likes Naruto over FMA is under the <no comment> in my vocabulary.

[ChopChop]

Anyone who likes Naruto over FMA(..)
Probably don't know about FMA existence. :nod

[Freija]

I was thinking more along the lines of flames thus <no comment> as I can't really flame people ^.¨


Back on topic, so if a Homunculus eats another he gains their attributes ?

[Zaru]

Back on topic, so if a Homunculus eats another he gains their attributes ?

More importantly, what happens to the power of the eaten homunculus? Can he still be recreated or is he in limbo until the eater dies as well? :headscrat

[Freija]

I'd guess on limbo as his essence is swallowed.

[Zaru]

Lol it makes more sense, although one could create an ultimate sin homunculus by having one eat all others :hmm?

[Freija]

Well, I doubt he could kill every homunculus.

[@lk3mizt]

i think he could. :oh

Pride is scareh!! :iik

and lol, Andy! :lmao

Sin homunculus would be sight to behold.

[Freija]

Sin is definitely not the strongest humunculus we've seen.

[Yoshi-Paperfold]

I don't think gluttony is in limbo and don't think he is technically dead. (I think as long as father exist, so do every homunculus. Including lust.) If I recall, a few chapters ago, there were multiple, miniature copies of gluttony coming out of father's chest. So father can easily recreate gluttony, but for gluttony (or any other homunculus) to have individuality/independence it must contain a philosopher stone. So yeah, gluttony is still alive...just not independent.

Then again, father had taken gluttony's stone, so if the stone is destroyed does that mean the homunculus can never be recreated? If so, does this mean father loses a piece of himself?

Oh, and I think pride didn't actually gain gluttony's attributes because he ate gluttony;I think he gain gluttony's attributes because he ate the philosopher stone that was inside gluttony.

Greed was killed but his Philosophers Stone was just melted down, drank by Father and then fed in to Ling to create Greedling (the second Greed basically).

Lust was killed and her Philosphers Stone shattered and later Envy stated that the Military had "killed" Lust implying it was a definite death. We've not seen a trace of her since.

Gluttony was defeated and ran out of regen, Father took his Philosophers Stone and later we see the same Gluttony with the same memories as the original back in a new body.

It's pretty much a guarantee that shattering the Philosophers Stone within them means that a Homunculi dies and can never come back. Gluttony and Greed did because their stone was intact, but a completely new Lust would need to be made with a new Philosophers Stone.

[@lk3mizt]

Sin is definitely not the strongest humunculus we've seen.

Sin?

who is Sin? :sag

[Freija]

Oh crap, multitasking bit me in the ass there :argh

Meant pride

[@lk3mizt]

lulz :lmao :lmao

[Freija]

Leave me be, I've got homeworks.

[Hell On Earth]

I need to start reading this again.

[Freija]

Indeed you do.

[uchiha-alia]

Sin is like all of the Homunculus fused together :argh (since each is named after a human 'sin')

As for Pride (:awesome) well hes been underwhelming (his handicaps are way too obvious) until now especially since he was stated to be the original homunculus and, it seemed- the strongest. Well now he is gluttonously prideful (lol) he is gonna be one tough customer.

I need to start reading this again
Quite a clever decision :quite

[Freija]

Lol, he's going to eat everything :lmao

[Tenacious Lee]

well yea pride has been underwhelming, hes at a big disadvantage. just by shutting the lights out in the city hes left completely powerless, you cant do that during the day. him + gluttony will be pretty tough though

[AbnormallyNormal]

van hohenheim would easily own pridetonny

but i think just the combined force of everyone else there can beat him anyway. it will be cool to see how sloth dies, he is like "the thing" from fantastic four

[Schwarzwald]

Well we're gonna get the Raw this weekend probably, so might as well bump this

I'm calling Pride to start eating some villagers, I don't even think he's good enough to ignore the hunger forever.

Or we'll see Gluttonous Pride just spread out and open the gate under everyone

[Nagasumi]

Here's the raw:

thsi chapter ie pretty good. cant wait for scan come out.

[James]

Thanks for the raw link!

[Geg]

[James]

May as well use www.onemanga.com

Good chapter again. Finally got that fight out the way for now. Not a lot of progression other than that really though.

[uchiha-alia]

fuck yeah GAR hohenheim. DONT YOU DARE MOCK MY SON :gar good chapter, cant wait for the next one, whats kimbley up to :pek

[Lo$tris]

Crimson Alchemist is back! :occa

Trapping Al with Pride is ought to lead to some troubles, Al is just so kind hence foolish.

[Arcanis]

Oh shi- Hohenheim is a beast. But Pride is just gonna brainwash Al or something to get out, he's too kind and gullible.

Also fuck yeah Crimson Alchemist.

[Mattaru]

I hope Pride doesn't turn emo and start warming up to Al :argh

[Felix]

Hohenheim is a beast
That guy is Deus Ex machina. He won't make it to the final battle I bet

[Sannom]

Trapping Al with Pride is ought to lead to some troubles, Al is just so kind hence foolish.

Anime!Al is kind AND foolish. Manga!Al isn't : he is strong, intelligent, independant. He won't be fooled by Pride.

Heck, even May, who is the most kind and naive character of the cast isn't "that" foolish. She won't make completely stupid decisions, be sure of that...

I wish I could agree, I just have this uneasy feeling about their entrapment...but I should give Al some credits, after all if it hadn't been for his plan, many would have died :zaru

[Balalaika]

This was one of my favorite chapters, and that's saying a lot. There have been so many.

[Mider T]

I love it how they try and give every Homunculi human emotions from time to time.

[Mat®icha]

this is riidiculous, i think they easlly could kill pride. just let "toots" inside, she can sense ki. the way inside is easy too, just create a little room adjacent to dome, get her inside, then open little door into dome and close it after she's in.
and another thing i'm pissed about is that mangaka kept greed in human form all this time, i think greed should have transformed into his true form and battle gluttony and pride. it's just it was totally stupid.

[Moon]

Was expecting a much more aggresive berserk Glouttonus Pride but oh well Hohenheim was awesome, looks like he transmutes without having to do anything. and I agree I dont see him surviving the manga, he'll either weaken "father" or die and give motivation to Ed and Al.

[Aeon]

Way to go Al. I wonder how long they'll be trapped in there.

[AbnormallyNormal]

kimblee kicks ass, scar showing up was sweet too

i just hope that dumb asian chick doesnt reunite the tiny envy with father

looks like greed is headed to yet another death

[~Avant~]

I actually really want to see Greed and Kimblee go at it, before its all said and done. Since they're my favorite characters.

And I was sorta hoping for more out of Hoenheim

[Mat®icha]

i just hope that dumb asian chick doesnt reunite the tiny envy with father


that really would be stupid. it's not gonna make sence if lil stupid punk gives envy to father in a golden plate. she saw envy's power.

anyway, i just wait.

[Geg]

Chapter 89 LQ Raw: http://www.sendspace.com/file/kw83xf

[Mider T]

Thanks Geg.

[Aeon]

Chapter is up.

Havoc and Ross appear. :gar

[Mider T]

Epic chapter end. Mustang went up a level in badass.

[Blaze of Glory]

^

And here I thought Ling was kickass :lmao

Mustang is so goddamn awesome :wtf

Also Briggs soldiers return and to rape the shit out of Central military HQ :awesome

[WolfeyesVIII]

Scanlation's out on mangatraders.

[Mider T]

After onemanga:lmao

[Giorno Giovanna]

Epic chapter. I love how Alex's sister was like, "bitch, please." to the people of Central and then called her men to teabag all of it.:awesome

Mustang just beasted on everyone and it seems like things are really hitting the fan.

[Felix]

The Military side of FMA is so much fun
It's great to read this from time to time instead of "I DO BIG SPELLZ AND SO DO YOU"

[Drew8898]

So... they want us to think that Al will be out for the rest of the series.

Anyone want to take a guess as to how he and Salem will be teleported to central? You know it's going to happen.

[Moon]

Well it looked like Ed was gonna do something so I guess we just wait and see. I think this will be Pride's last fight he'll either die here or be used by the other homunculi. Military chapters are always interesting, always some twist occurring when Mustang's involved

[Muk]

epic chapter

wohooooooo

so worth it!!!

[laly]

I have a question. What happened to the philosopher's stone that Darius picked up from the ground after Ed and Kimblee's fight? I can't remember. Did he give it to Ed or does he still have it?

[Blind Itachi]

Kickass chapter is kickass :LOS...

[Kereo]

Sill question but

The guy in the wheelchair, was he the former subordinate or is he a relative or something? Cause I don't remember Havoc ending up in a wheelchair.

[Geg]

He was paralyzed during the fight with Lust. This is the first time we've seen him in a wheelchair though, since all his other appearances since then have been in a hospital bed.

[Lilykt7]

I loved this chapter, especially the witty banter. It seemed extra wittier this month.
"I came here to find a good man and all central's got are cowards!"
"The owner's treating me."

I love this manga...

[Mat®icha]

pretty soilid chapter, lots of development. still no news of president, i dont expect him die so easily. flameboy put on really nice action there, not killing anyone.

[Cipher]

"Epic" is the only proper term to use here. I got thrills up my leg.:high

[Tendou Souji]

I was surprised at the end of the chapter. You think him being paralyzed would keep him out of action.

It was nice to see some ownage from Mustang this chapter though.

[Kage no Yume]

This chapter was just too badass...

Seriously, Mustang and 4 subordinates injuring 90+ guys with 0 deaths before reinforcements finally arrived? You gotta admire such skill and finesse. Addition of Ross and Havoc made this chapter one of the best.

[Curry]

The last chapter was just too much win :ruri

OMG ROY IS BACK :ruri When he's in the manga, it always gets so dynamic :ruri

[Kereo]

He was paralyzed during the fight with Lust. This is the first time we've seen him in a wheelchair though, since all his other appearances since then have been in a hospital bed.

Ah yes, I remember, thanks!

[Mider T]

Predictions for the next chapter people?:hiro

[Mattaru]

Excellent chapter. Beats anything else I read this month.
Love the return of Roy, and for some reason I'm becoming really attatched to the Chimeras, especially Donkey Kong.

[Hidd3N_NiN]

Great chapter. Mustang is badass.

[laly]

Excellent chapter. Beats anything else I read this month.
Love the return of Roy, and for some reason I'm becoming really attatched to the Chimeras, especially Donkey Kong.

Yeah, me too. Their little fight about who was trying to kill who was funny.

I just love how Arakawa doesn't seem to discard any character she creates, not even Hawkeye's friend, Rebecca, or Denny Brosh, who I thought we'd never see again (and we even got to see his family, lol).

[Sannom]

Yeah, me too. Their little fight about who was trying to kill who was funny.

Yeah, and the fact they all agreed to kill Edward instead was even funnier :laugh

Do you think that they could sue him for racism, given how he calls them??? Especially "Donkey Kong" and "Porky"?

[laly]

^^ That probably wouldn't be very smart seeing as they are all on the run :P

[blazingshadow]

just finished reading everything up to now in 4 days. this isn't a good manga to stop reading halfway through. every chapter had me wanting to read more. i just wish that lust came back from the dead and started to get along with havoc :(

[Zaru]

The last chapter was amazing in terms of what was shown. Now I can't wait for the next one as usual :apathy

Though the real shit will happen when Bradley returns.

[auralawliet]

Yeah more than any of the big returns that have been happening recently I am hyped for when Bradley turns up again. It doesn't matter that he's only been gone a little while. He is a sickhead above all sickheads. He really earns the name Wrath.

[Deathbringerpt]

Good to see Maria and Havoc again, especially because he´s not even less awesome despite his handicap.

Things are going too well for them though, the shit is going to hit the fan soon enough.
