Fullmetal Alchemist Chapter 102 Discussion

What I was really confused about was how Al's soul was talking to his body.  Is his soul split and part of it's still in the body?  Is Truth hanging out in Al's body for these times?  Is there something else entirely inhabiting Al's body while the soul is away?  How the heck did that scene work?



This is second or third-hand information that I can't verify offhand, so take it with a huge grain of salt, but I did read somwhere that Arakawa confirmed when the Al body at the gate talks, it's not actually Al but rather Truth talking in Al's body.  



I'll find a reference if I can.  



As for Al Body's cryptic last comments I took it as a sign that going back like Al did would give Father exactly what he wants- all five sacrifices.

you know....thats a nice catch lol

this chapter is just another sad realization that FMA probably wont end with a 1000% happy ending ><

AAAAAAL <3

That was awesome of him. Really. To give up something he's wanted for so long...



And man, Roy losing his eyesight was just brutal. Very unexpected. I thought he'd lose something like an arm.



Great chapter, as always. Arakawa is brilliant.

Yeah, pretty epic and sad chapter. But Roy...Roy's not one to give up I don't think. So I want to know what he's going to do next.



And Al, he's pretty brave, but it shows just how much he cares for those people.



Can't wait to know what happens next.



(err, can Roy use alchemy without gloves now?)

When Roy was brought to the gate for some reason I just knew he was going to lose his eyesight...and it actually happened ;__; Poor Roy, that's a big loss.

I figured one eye, not both.

Btw, is it just me, or is there a striking resemblance between the Truth and the original Humunculus? O.o (as in the guy who was called Father)

Until he took in Hohenheim into his body, 'cause then he got fat x)

And sorry I couldn't find pictures to compare the two : p (yeah I was too lazy to take a good look)
