[Manga] Chapter 31 : The Serpent that is Swallowing Its Tail
Well I'm pretty sure some people have already read it, courtesy of me having uploaded it on Sunday. But it is already out.
Chapter 31, the post-conclusion of the Greed arc. Read what happened to Greed. The title of the chapter is the description of Uroborus, so naturally the emphasis of this chapter would be on the Homunculi who bear the Uroborus tattoos. Interested? Go to the following link to find out... http://www.anime-source.com/banzai/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=680 Last edited by Yebyosh; 2004-07-17 at 01:36. Reason: Updated link |

Questions,(This may be irrelavent to this threafd sa my questions are to do with previous chapters)
1.Greed-Can he feel the pain when he is attacked by people in his normal form? 2.Wrath mentioned how he got to 'this' position(President/king)when he was 'killing' Greed,so does his position and power have anything to do with his Sharingan?(haha) 3.Did wrath adopt his son? 4.Why does Greed say that Envy was a 'inferior' creation?(Was i because he really was?Or did he(Greed) want to piss him off?) 5.Wrath-A)Why can Wrath age? B)Is Wrath really a Homoculus?(Just a speculation on my part,becuase Greed did seem pretty shocked when he saw an old Wrath) Last edited by Inuzuka; 2004-07-02 at 23:39. |

1.Greed-Can he feel the pain when he is attacked by people in his normal form?
Either homunculi don't feel pain, or just don't bother about it, it seems. Definately none of them have ever flinched in the anime (except when Greed dies, maybe), and to the best of my knowledge, the manga. 2.Wrath mentioned how he got to 'this' position(President/king)when he was 'killing' Greed,so does his position and power have anything to do with his Sharingan?(haha) From what I understood, the eye is how he managed to survive so well in the battle field (and earn a reputation for himself?). 3.Did wrath adopt his son? Hmm, not sure if Manga Wrath was always a homunculus, or if the family came from when he was human.. He says he's 60, but we don't know if that includes the time before he turned. 4.Why does Greed say that Envy was a 'inferior' creation?(Was i because he really was?Or did he(Greed) want to piss him off?) I don't think we know. Envy was created before him (or at least made a sin), so maybe Father's refining his work.. 5.Wrath-A)Why can Wrath age? See above- maybe Father's refining his work, making better sins; maybe he deliberately made him that way so he could fill his roll running the military (non-aging Furher would look kinda suspiscious ) B)Is Wrath really a Homoculus?(Just a speculation on my part,becuase Greed did seem pretty shocked when he saw an old Wrath) All signs point to yes. |

Greed: "I'm going to have a look at the gates first, brothers and sister!" Yebyosh, what's the literal translation of the original text? Is it at all possible Greed's referring to the sins' master plan in some way (involving the gate), or is he just alluring that he's going to pass through it again when he dies? (Since none of them will have seen it since they were created). Sloth.. underground with bloody knuckles and chains... do we think he's pulling something, or tunneling somewhere? ..and sod the spoiler tags, if you've read this far into the topic, you should have read manga 31 by now. :P |

I interepreted it as (literally ) "What kind of gate/problem, Go first, see I'll do, siblings!!" and refined it to what you had quoted. (Of course those with better proficiency in Japanese are free to correct me for any mistakes). So with reference to the previous panel where he's comparing the liquid's temperature as lukewarm compared to Hellfire, it is decided that what he was saying here was referring to Hell itself. In other words, it is a parting speech to his Homunculi siblings that he'll greet them in Hell when they are the next to go, i.e. Gates of Hell (not the Gate that Ed saw when he encounters the Truth).

Maybe the manga/anime masterplan is different... the anime sins don't seem too interested in keeping the Elrics alive, other than pushing them towards the philosophers stone. |

I think what Yebyosh said about Envy being the first would make sense - not only for the 'forgotten original form' reason - but also, remember when Greed called Envy inferior? This may be because Father was still experimenting and didn't perfect the art until, say, Gluttony or Greed.
