I cried.

The ending wasn't totally what I expected (or, in some aspects, what I really wanted) but it was beautiful regardless. I cried because it's the end - no more waiting for chapters, no more fun theories (that we'll be able to canonly confirm or trash, at least), and no more goofy interactions between the characters I've grown to love (outside of fanfiction).



I've followed this series since 2001... It's hard to see it go, but at the same time, I couldn't have asked for a better story to follow, and that makes me happy.

Juts read the spanish scanlations of the chapter. Liked it but...


And I'm confused about something. There's this
The episode will match the final chapter of the manga, which will be published in the July issue of Square Enix's Monthly Shonen Gangan magazine on Friday

Is there going to be a chapter 109?

Magazines (like cars) usually date their releases a period forward. So the July issue would come out during June, which it has.

I saw a pic of it and I knew I need to spoil it! It's tempting!!

Okay, it shock me when EdWin got married(it's kinda frustrating at first since I'm not a fan of it) but it took me a while to relax and accept what Arakawa planned... in conclusion... I'm happy with the results. And they all lived happily ever after ='D

Now I can wait for the English scanlations to come out!!

As all finale, this one made me flashed a tiny smile... if only... I knew about FMA sooner coz it's too short for me..

Yet another great story and a great creator.... YOU"RE THE BEST ARAKAWA-SAMA!!!

I have just finished one of the most amazing Manga I've read. It didn't disappoint me but it surprises me that all the characters are that happy.
Now I can't wait to see how they show it in the Anime series.

I know I might be the target of much hatred for posting this, but that ending wasn't as good as advertised - it was a tad underwhelming. It felt more like an epilogue, and less of a final chapter - 107 pretty much wrapped up the final struggle against Father. This chapter just tied up the loose ends and resolved the characters' respective sub-plots (most of what happened were what fans wanted to see) . Nonetheless, it was a great ride. This was one of the first manga I've read, and I've followed it for the past 4+ years. Certainly one of the best I've laid my eyes on. 9/10 overall.

so in the ned ed defeats father, gives up his ability to perform alchemy to get al back, their father hoenheim dies in front of the grave of his wive, marcoh gives a philosopher stone to give mustang his eyesight back, grumman takes over as furher, and everyone else lives happily ever after as ed and al split up to find out more about alchemy. the end. also ed and winry have the weirdest proposal ever, lol "85%"

So that's it. The end. Oh man, what a ride! I loved the ending; it tied up so nicely. I kinda like that Ed lost his alchemy -- it made sense, anyway. I like how they want to change the equivalent exchange too. :) I only wish there had been more on Roy and Riza; I felt like they were short changed a bit in the end, but maybe that's just because they're my favorite so I'm biased. It makes sense for Ed, Al, and Winry to be the spotlight in the last few pages.

Oh man. I'm sad to see it go, but I loved the ending. One of the best series ever.

Pretty much agree with your sentiment. While this epilogue chapter was nice, it did feel a bit generic of an ending. Of course, I'm always one for happy endings, and this one definitely fit that bill, but I was hoping for a bit more surprises at the end than what we were presented with. I'm a little disappointed with how little there covering some of the other major characters (i.e., Roy, Riza, Izumi, etc.) but I guess it was okay. Again, everything seemed to turn out perfectly in the end, but after all of the shit the Elric brothers went through, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

9/10 final.

It's nice to see a long-running series have a solid conclusion like this. No questions left to answer. No huge plot holes left unfilled. It's over, it's done, it was great, it fulfilled all its promises. Nice and conclusive, just the way an ending should be.

I loved how Scar said "Why won't you Amestrians let me die?"
Kinda sucks how Ed can't use alchemy anymore.

I agree with Avarice and vindemon64. It did seem generic , anticlimactic and just tied up the loose ends. But the experience was really great. The ups and downs of the story really made this one of the best manga out there. A happy ending is what this manga needed.

Best part for me is when Ed was talking to Winry about equivalent exchange. That really hit me and it was pretty sweet. Ed is a giant now, look at the height difference when he hugged her xD.

But I'm getting confused with the details of this ending though. How did Ed punch a hole in Father's chest with just his fist? Was Father just absorbed by the Truth? How did Hohenheim die, did his stone run out? If Ed can return from beyond the white space or whatever it's called, why did Mustang say he couldn't do it? And where did the back door come from? Just clear this up for me and this will get a 10/10 for me.

^This sort of summarises what I want to say and perhaps only adding the fact that Edward loses his alchemy skill sucks but the fact that Roy gets his eyes back is superb~
I thought that Roy will be the fuhrer and marry Riza though lol xD

I'll try to answer your questions
belatkuro said:

But I'm getting confused with the details of this ending though.
How did Ed punch a hole in Father's chest with just his fist?
Was Father just absorbed by the Truth?
How did Hohenheim die, did his stone run out?
If Ed can return from beyond the white space or whatever it's called, why did Mustang say he couldn't do it?
And where did the back door come from?


1. Ed can punch a hole in Father's chest because his body has been pushed to the limit by the God that resides within him. With Greed rebelling against him, turning his legs in to charcoal, this takes up even more of whatever that is left of his Philosopher's Stone. This all took a toll on body, making it extremely fragile. Some suspension of belief is required here.

2. Father was sent back into the Gates of Truth. The Truth guy said that he will be in despair for eternity. Other than that, there is no further elaboration.

3. Hohenheim died because his stone ran out. He already offered it to Ed in order to get Alphonse back saying that it has power for one last human transmutation. Suffice to say that the Stone has nearly been depleted. Taking into consideration the time it took him to travel from Central back to Resembool, the Stone most likely would have been depleted shortly after he visits Trisha's grave.

4. Ed and Al's doors are connected together since they were both sucked into the Truth at the same time. It was stated in the earlier chapters that during the first trip to the Truth, they got a "bit" of each swapped between them, hence Ed being short. Ed can afford to sacrifice his Gate Of Truth for Al because as both of their Gates are connected, he can just exit from the Truth using Al's Gate. Mustang couldn't do that since if he sacrificed his gate for his eyes, he would be stuck in limbo forever without an exit.
