... must not look at the spoilers ... must not look at the spoilers ... must not look at the spoilers ... must not look at the spoilers ... >_< *mutter*

GAH! I'll wait patiently () for the translations .....

What does Ed's sacrifice have to do with losing his mother? It's the only one I didn't understand.

What are you talking about? There is no unit in WC3 called a wraith. The scouting unit for undead is a shade.

I think he lost his leg so he couldn't be the support for his family, not being able to stand up for them and (maybe) he lost his arm as the result that he couldn't help his brother when he need him.

He sacrificed his arm to get Al's soul back, remember? It wasn't a part of his toll. It says that he lost his leg so he 'can't stand alone', so I guess it has something to do with his pride and desire to support his loved ones.

He probably got it confused with StarCraft Wraith, which also has a cloaking ability and is invisible much like the Shade in Warcraft III.

That's the way to go. Too bad you probably looked.

But I did wait patiently and just got done reading the chapter without being spoiled. And boy it was worth it,

Spoiler for 103:

cause the impact for the Scar twist just wouldn't have been the same.

I like the symbolism in this development, since only after changing his ways and learning how to break off the chain of hatred has Scar learned how to create instead of just destroying.

But he isn't really able to transmute everything he wants into anything just by his thoughts, he had his hand on the ground when he transmuted it. Also I really don't think he can go against the law of equivalent exchange either. Still, he seemingly doesn't need to clap his hands so it's still an impressive form of alchemy.

Anyways, though the Scar twist was very interesting, my favorite part of the chapter was still Wrath's speech. The big panel with him saying it's comforting to fight for no one was truly epic.

And lol at May. She's got guts but she's in way over her head.

Also, what exactly was the point of showing those Ishvalans? What were they doing? Didn't really get that.

[GaimeGuy]

Spoiler for Ch 103:

It appearas to me like Scar basically has all the abilities of Ed, Al, Izumi, and anyone else who has seen the truth, now that he has the powerso f both destruction and reconstruction.

We've seen Ed and Al both mimic scar's destructive alchemy a handful of times, and Izumi, Al, and Ed seem to always be reconstructing the earth and its materials into shapes, objects, and formations as they desire, making bridges, pillars, spikes, and weapons as they please.

Scar's new alchemy seems to be almost exactly the same, and I now can't help but think that seeing the truth bestows upon an alchemist the power of destruction and reconstruction in its most elemental form, without the need for an alchemic array.

Scar has that same power now, just with two separate arrays.


Also, King motherfucking Bradley *bow* *bow* *bow*.

[Haladflire65]

Great chapter.

Spoiler for Chap 103:

As Endless Twilight said, I didn't get the part with the Ishvalans.. And also, as ET said, I loved Scar's twist and that brutal fight between him and Wrath. It's pretty epic. I'm excited to see what else Scar'll be able to do with that other arm of his.

Poor Roy. He's just getting bumped around now. It looks like Izumi appointed herself as his caregiver to make sure he isn't blown up while the others fight...



And I wonder what's gonna happen to Mei. Did I see Hoho correctly? He came out for a minute but went back inside?

Spoiler:

Yeah, nice of Izumi to do that. Though it should be Riza's job. Speaking of which, what was it with that darkness that prevented her and the chimeras from descending into Father's room? If that was there, how did May get down?

And yeah that was indeed Hohenheim. And nope he didn't go back inside, he was still there when Father wtfpwned May.

[Nosauz]

after watching the pretty sub standard dtbs2... i have no faith in bones. As long as the envy fight gets properly animated, and probably the greed/greed fight, then i'm all good. still... mustangs.. yo i heard you liked drama, so I drama'd your drama during prior to the gate scene was a bit trivial. The whole point was that it was going to force mustang to choose and in the end he didn't have to.

Spoiler for 103:

I'm not sure why Riza's not heading down there. My best guess is that it's because of her injury, and because the chimera doesn't really feel like randomly jumping into cloudly blackness... I'm expecting her to get there soon. It's not like Arakawa-sensei to leave them sitting there while big things are going on. I really want her there, and I'd also like to see her reaction when she's reuinted with Roy.

Spoiler for Ch 103:

That darkness was Father/Homunculus, I think.. basically, he still has that shadowy form from the flask, but he also has a "core" which is the eyes body thing we see..

Spoiler for 103:

Oooohhhh, I get it now. So that means that they can't just penetrate it? Darn.

Also, I about your previous post, I kinda agree about Mustang's drama but then again, the Homunculi used it as their last resort. They didn't want to force him - now look what's happening to Pride. It was supposed to be risky for them.

And as for the Envy fight, I'm keeping my hopes up because of the insane job BONES did with the Lust fight. It's the same fire they're animating, only with more anger and drama - how badly could it go?

[Vicious108]

Ah yes, that makes sense, GaimeGuy.

Spoiler for 103:

Uh, May totally penetrated it in the previous chapter, so I'm pretty sure they can if they have the guts to. Which May apparently did.

Spoiler for 103:

Oh. Right. I so totally forgot about that part.
Riza, get down there then! Then Izumi could kick some ass too! I'm really tired of her listening to Wrath gloating and just looking worriedly downwards.

[Tsuyoshi]

Spoiler for 103:

Superb. Absolutely Superb. Scar can now use the power of reconstruction. I've always wanted to see what Scar's brother's alchemy would be like when used. I always thought that it was the closest thing there was to opening the gate without actually opening it. So far, judging from what Scar just did, it does seem to be the case. Scar didn't even have to clab his hands to do that. I can't wait for the next chapter! Scar is Awesome!

Spoiler for chap 103:

Uh, no, nobody was supposed to be able to penetrate it the normal way. I don't know how May did it, but Father was surprised when he saw her get there:

Haven't read the whole chapter yet, but it looks like a very awesome one!

I should have made the statement but I thought it was pretty obvious ^-^ sorry if I confused someone!
