Scar is now offically coolCool isn't proper justice for that.



That move was entirely surprising and frickin amazing.

In my opinion, this manga just keeps getting better and better.

o that was a nice last pg XD

go Scar XD

Scar is now offically cool

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

                        Why is a month so long? ◔ ◡ ◔ Oh anyway .

Still sad for Roy ( ﾟ,_ゝﾟ)

Oh Ed & co said it doesn't make sense Roy lost his sight ◕ ◡ ◕

And Ed's starting to speculate about stuff （￣ー￣）

I lol'd. Father has some strange abilities ٩(̾●̮̮̃̾•̃̾)۶

Scar vs. Bradley is just splendid, effin' awesome battle, especially with Scar's new bonus ⊂( ﾟヮﾟ)⊃

Hoping for more of that awesome fight in the next chapter ヽ(´Д｀ヽ) ..which will be due in.. another month （・３・ア

Something just occurred to me. The basic process of alchemy is [knowledge > destruction > reconstruction]. In the scene where we saw him use his recreation arm he never used his right to first destroy.



Does his left arm destroy and recreates straight away? What's the point of his right arm then? Did Arakawa finally screw up?

I'm guessing 'Father' can stop Western Alchemy being used now that he has his fifth sacrifice.



yeah, I was thinking about it - if he does, Ed, Al & c. o. will be kinda useless... I wonder if Hohenheim can do something being inside the Father



anyway - another month! :<

Al still should have the philosopher stone so he shouldn't be useless.

Whoa o.o Caught me off-guard...The moment Scar transmuted the spikes, I though 'Cool!' and then it hit me and I freezed. 'Wait, what.'

My face looked a lot like Bradley's: O___o (Except his was like O__T <--blood xP)



And something's happening to Selim. Did you see his uneasiness? Seems like he can't use his powers, but why?



...Nooooooo, another month D:

awesome chapter

cant believe roy's blind now though i  guessed something like that would happen

my other guesses were loss of hearing and not being able to speak

cant wait for the anime to catch up!!

I've been loving this arc/ending.  I hope when they animate it it's just as intense.  THere will be heck to pay if they mess with it and leave things out.

The power to reconstruct, you go Scar! Still depressed about Mustang's condition :(



5/5

I interpreted it in this way: Scar's right arm destroys, no problem there. But I'm guessing maybe his left arm can "recreate" without having to first destroy (in fact, *without being able to destroy*), essentially meaning either A) it works more like manipulation rather than destruction THEN recreation, or B) it can create something from nothing, like a philosopher's stone.



The way I see it even if I'm wrong with what I said above, is that each arm can perform its own function WITHOUT the need to be a part of the alchemy process as a whole. Destruction just means destroying, and recreation just means recreating, but without having to first destroy, bypassing the need for materials, or just using whatever is around but "transforming it" without "breaking it down" before doing so.



The argument can be made such that the author didn't screw up at all. Easily. We'll see how she explains it herself eventually though.

That giant shruiken was jokes...never expected Scar to gain reconstruction but maybe he'll finally kill King Bradly next time
