Tsk, picky picky! I think I referred to them as ninja because assassins' doing escort job just didn't seem right. ^_^;;

I didn't respond to this earlier in this thread because the whole sequence wasn't very clearly translated in the Chinese scanslation, but I've always felt they came up with the same answer, just that they took turns saying the two portions of it. Well now anime episode 28 pretty much shows that Al and Ed did exactly that, but instead of answering "man" in the second portion like he was supposed to, Ed said "me" instead--thus the surprised look on Izumi's face. So yah, I still stand by my belief that "seeing the Truth" basically means one needs to venture to that empty, blank realm and converse with that being.
