I mentioned before somewhere else that I feel Izumi Curtis is the most powerful alchemist (provided she is not coughing up blood). Someone (I think dreamless) then asks is it based on her fists & kicks. Of course the Father is excluded from this discussion...
Well... Spoiler for Izumi-san sugoi renkinjutsushi ne:

And no I do not think they can be classified as ninjas. Come on they look and behave more like the Chinese martial arts assassins in all those martial art movies. Quote:
Side Note: yangxi has released the Chinese scans of Vol 7 (Chp 26-29). So his latest works has ensured that the entire 33 chapters so far are available to Chinese readers. |

We now know that Al also can do it. However he admits that it is not as proficient or as good as Ed, though he believes he could become as good as Ed. This further makes me believe that he is slightly slower in catching on to the data obtained from the Truth than Ed. |

Here's my speculation on Wrath's powers. Basically it seems the Sins' powers are related to where their Uroboros tattoos are located. Gluttony - Tongue - Eats anything Envy - Skin of Left Thigh - Metamorph Lust - Skin of Chest - Extended Nails Greed - Skin of back of Hands - Diamond body shield Sloth - ?? Wrath - Eye - See below Now what would a tattoo on the eye symbolise? Likely that Wrath's power is based on foresight as well as the proverb "The eye is the window to one's soul". Likely Wrath can see all the possible actions that his enemy can take (or even the action that the enemy will take) and counter him faster than the enemy could react. Thus Wrath is almost invincible if the enemy is within his reach. Also it is likely that Wrath can intimidate his enemy by sight and prowess such that they are slightly affected in their fighting ability. |

I was thinking he's a different to the other Humonculus, working apart from the trio of Lust, Gluttony and Envy. The way he took down Greed was one of the best bits of the manga for me so far, just such a wicked display of power and ruthlessness that demonstrates his mission. However I do feel this was slightly undone when he then appears with the afore- mentioned trio, to complete the job. But it remains to be seen how he deals with them... Sonhex |

i'm getting the impression that from now on the anime will totally diverge from the manga. In other words, I think that there won't be any Arc with chinese assassins and whatnot. The anime is moving too fast and there are around 20 episodes left to it. It doesn't seem likely that they'll include that bit with the Chinese assassins. BTW, who thinks that the anime is far better than the manga? Comparing both versions, I'm liking the anime a bit more. Maybe because most of the manga focused on rush valley too much rather than continue with the plot. ( I'm just assuming that, cuz I can't read chinese but the whole rush valley scene was so boring, with the baby being born and everything. Sigh...kinda reminds me of Elisha-chan.) Yeah, and the anime has more action that what we've seen in the manga so far, IMHO.

Given what we have seen in the manga and anime, I think it is already safe to conclude that the story has already diverged at the point where the Innocent Child made his appearance.
Either that or some portions of the future manga storyline has been advanced forward in the anime. |
