Fan speculation or not: we're pretty close to the end and that's great, because I prefer an epic final conclusion over a few hundred filler chapers.
This chapter was pretty cool. I love Olvia, she kicks asses! She has to survive this whole thing. And so does Ed. I really am worried that he might die and it makes me feel sad, because he's such an incredible character with so much development. Plus: Winry's waiting for him, he can't just die and leave her all alone. >_<
Nevertheless his methods are... special. XD I'll never get tired seeing his unconventional way of solving problems. XD
I don't like that Al is being a hostage again. I mean: he's been rushing from being a hostage to being rescued to being a hostage again. You might get the feeling he can't even protect himself without his brother around, but that's not true. Al is strong too, but he's just too kind... v_v' Ed would've beaten the crap out of Selim after 2 minutes of banging on that helmet. XD And he might've noticed that he's not just playing but using a morse code.
