Fullmetal Alchemist Chapter 102 Discussion

It's such a comfort to know all of you people freaked out and spazzed and fear blindness like I do, jeez. Reading the chapter discussions sometimes helps make the shock go away. T_T;;;



Roy has totally grown to be one of my favorite characters; he's such a badass. And now he doesn't have the eyes to see his dream realized when he becomes the Fuhrer and changes things for the better... I seriously had to stop mid chapter and gape for a good few minutes.



I figured he wasn't going to lose any limbs because there was so much emphasis on that, plus it didn't feel fitting since Ed and Al have done that already... and then I thought about what they could take away from him, and my gut just told me his eyesight which freaked me out to the point I hoped it wouldn't come true so I was even more flabbergasted when it actually was.



Blindness is scary. Poor Roy. And I spent so much time freaking out over that, that I felt somewhat emotionally numb when Al actually came face to face with his body. I was so frustrated that he left it, but I understand his reasoning... Al, you amazing boy, you...!!



This manga still has so much potential for only a few chapters left to go and I'm freaking out and loving it so hard throughout the entire thing...!!

This chapter made me immensely sad :(

I wish Al would've gotten his body back... he needs a brain >_>

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?)



Entering the gate means the alchemists can use their own bodies as transmutation circles, since they've seen "the truth". So theoretically, the only difference if Roy were to use his fire alchemy, is he'd have the ability to clap his hands together to make a circle, instead of requiring one be drawn on his gloves. He'd still need a source of spark though probably.



My guess is that the transmutation circle on Hawkeye's back is gonna help Roy actively participate in the fight again though.

DOT DOT FUCKING DOT



Roy D: Hang in there...You think he'll be able to fight despite that? I want him to become fuhrer, God damn it D: I literally WTF'd when he said it's pitch black...I wanna Geass him with 'Live!'



Scar vs Wrath, wtf, I wanted Ling to finish the job...but yeah, two nameless guys against one another is good enough.

And Alphonse...I want to hug him D: He's just the biggest Woobie in the world. I almost cried when he left the body there and went back...although doing that will just give Father what he had wanted...

Can't wait for 103.

DAMN IT ROY

Roy Mustang losing his eyesight.... AHHHH!!!! T.T

I feel so bad for him - my favorite character!



The chapter itself was another epic one :) I can't wait another whole month for the next one - the need to know what happens with the five sacrifices is too great! ><

Not the Flame Alchemist :'(





Roy and Alphonse really made me cry in this chapter



Scar v/s Wrath was great



Nothing short of an epic chapter by a true genius

Depressing but excellent chapter.

Poor Roy... just damn.

And Al was so close to his real body.*sigh*
