Makes sense, the pacing. I know originally Arakawa wanted the series to be no longer than 100 chapters. You can still tell the series is coming to an end but will be slightly over that target. It happens.
This disproves that theory floating around that Roy performed Human Transmutation (though I think that was based off of the original anime, so whatever). The transmutation only took those who had, least those we know about in the city at the time. Can't wait for next month!
Could it be Marco? I mean he knows how to destroy and create a philosophers stone so he ought to be a pretty potential sacrifice right? But he has not opened the gate so I don't know... probably not.
So what are they all going in to the "truth" now? Then they could get Al's body back! :D
adamantine said: Also, I wonnder why Roy wasn't taken since he is one of the sacrifices. Maybe just the people who've been to the gate are being taken right now?Yeah, you answered your own question, Mustang was always only a potential sacrifice.
