Full Metal Alchemist Chapter 76 Discussion

Great Chapter! I'll start a "Donate organs for ED"  thread!! XD



Hohenheim taught the Xing people about Alchemy...



I wonder where will they all go after the fight with Kimbley..., cos people from central came to Briggs

THIS IS AN MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER.

                ----------------------------------------

                lol what? Nobody keeps up with this manga, that can't be true =P



Anyway, Ed and Al are in a tough spot. I knew their plan against Kimblee would fail, but I thought that it would have stood more of a chance then that...not Kimblee just "knowing"  or "senseing" murderous intent. @_@



I hope the manga goes back to Hohenheim soon, I'm more interested in learning about him right now.

...Yeah, that's me on less than a noteworthy amount of sleep.  I meant volume 20...  ^^;

It might just be me, but it feels like the manga is coming closer and closer to its end, and this chapter was just more reassurance to me about that theory.  A lot of questions have been answered in the recent chapters, and the brothers seem to be entering a phase where time is of the essence for Alphonse/their connection.  I wouldn't be surprised if volume 18 ended the series.



Anyway, this chapter was wonderful--though it jumped moods far too often.  It's like the chapter has multiple personality disorder and hasn't taken its medication.  Too many different things done far too quickly.  But still full of valuable information and clues.

Well. His wounds may be not that bad (after all he survived loosing an arm and a leg), but he's lying around in a hole without being able to move and the temperature is below 0. I think he's still alive, but it's only a matter of time when he'll die if nobody rescues him. And who will rescue him? Unless there's one of the Humunculi around I don't see a person who could do it.

The manga is definitely getting better now that more questions are being answered. What I find intersting is that Hoenheim taught the Xing people about alchemy but furthermore, Hoenheim's own past. Gah~ Everything that Edward and Alphonse want leads them right back to their dad. They wanted the Philosophers Stone and their dad is the stone. They want to know all about the Xing alchemy - and their dad taught Xing alchemy. Bleh - they're dad is so intriguing.



Anywho - I'm pretty curious to how Ed's going to get out of his current situation.

Tough call, but if the chimeras weren't too badly injured and are able to get out of the rubble, they may help Ed (since Kimblee betrayed them).



So, now I wonder, just when did that jerk get a second stone?? >_< Someone needs to just chop off both his hands. I feel sorry for Ed, with his ideals being torn apart by everyone around him at this point.



*is also looking forward to learning more about Hohenheim right now*

I'd have already started a chapter discussion if it didn't look like there wasn't much call for one.  This subforum is practically empty.



If Kimbley's played his cards right, Ed's wound shouldn't be fatal.  Envy would rip him to shreds if he killed their human sacrifice after all he's survived.  Unless this was part of that whole sacrificial deal, in which case Ed's pretty much screwed for the time being.

I would, as that would mean it had ended three chapters ago.

Well shit that looks painful.



Anyways is it that if Ed dies then Al will die too? Or is it just a coincidence that Al is destabilizing at the exact same moment? (although I guess they did hint to it while he was going through the snow storm.)

Oh damn Ed is in a big trouble!

So........... I thought Xing was based on China, but based on Mei's explanation, they're using japanese words..... Any thoughts?
