I feel I need to repost OP's picture to get my feelings right.


WINRY!!! </3


I hate to say it but if they cop out and bring everyone back like in Naruto, I'm not gonna like it. I mean, I'm fucking crushed right now but I'll just be more mad if it's a "Haha just messing with you guys, here you go" thing.

OH. My. Fucking. God. Seriously. WTF. Next. Chapter. Now!

I'd die laughing if the mangaka decided to just let everyone die just, you know, to mess with the readers:D.
But this twist will backfire on him either way. If everyone revives 80% of the readers will go "cliche!". If everyone stays dead 80% of the readers will start crying for their personal favourites. I wonder if he will find some way to avoid this or just go with the mass-resurrection version.

And it's ironic how some ppls opinion can turn from omg to "what's this shit" the moment a god-element surfaces in some form.

In a universe where multiple cultural groups have talked about different gods (Ishval, Lior to an extent) I doubt this "god" is a God in the religious sense. It's more likely just a nameless extreme source of energy and Father refers to it as God.

I'm building a time machine to take me into next month to read the chapter, anyone else want in?

I had another thought. How in the world are they going to animate that holy pile of epic crap?! I mean, damn! We're all lucky because we read the manga and know what's happening, but what about the thousands of people who have no idea what's in store for them? That's gonna be a nasty shock.

Seriously though. I would hate for this chapter to be considered too..."dark" or something and not be animated in FMA:B. Or something. Just a wild thought. I'm probably wrong, it just crossed my mind.

^Yep summed up my reaction perfectly.
@Mephz
He didn't challenge God, he TOOK OVER God(or Truth if you will). And it worked. Advent(Father just isn't badass enough) has pretty much won. Now the question is where do we go from here. In a straight up fight all of them would lose so Hohenheim must have some ace up his sleeve but Hohenheim didn't sound too enthused. Maybe Arakawa might pull a Voldemort but I'm now rooting for a somewhat darker ending, not everyone dead but the sacrifices not getting their body parts back.

****! What happened? For the first half of the chapter it was normal FMA fighting and when Greed appeared I thought they were going to win. But... And then after big "WTF is happening?!" it comes to this picture http://www.onemanga.com/Full_Metal_Alchemist/104/40-41/ and that, in my opinion, is creepy!

And didn't they say that they have a "backup-plan" if they can't stop Father in time? I could read the series latest chapters over and check it but I'm too lazy to do it. Guess the "backup-plan" is the other circle by rentanjutsu and hopefully they are doing it in the next chapter. Can't wait for the next chapter :]

No kidding.
As for me, this chapter somehow reminded me of Soul Eater's crazy "OMFG WHAT JUST HAPPENED" moments. Like everyone else said, this chapter is epic. I really hope we get a good (happy, if possible) ending, but I hope Arakawa doesn't rely on a generic way to bring everyone back to life. If she does. But she's Arakawa, so I'm sure next chapter will be awesome.

Let's see how Arakawa can pull this one off. It's a really dangerous move to make since mass resurrection, if done wrongly, can be quite disappointing....

On the other hand, everyone remaining dead would be....not very satisfying as well.

Let see how talented the author is now....The time of judgment has come.

Am I the only one who's somewhat hoping for a tragic ending? Something like everyone stays dead, kill off a few of the other main characters. Maybe Father gets defeated, but then Hoenheim is the only one left in a disaster of a world?

Interestingly enough, i had been watching this discussion to see what others were speculating about this chapter, wishing i had an account so i could join in, until i remembered that i have had a membership to this site for a while... odd. XD

Anyways, chapter 104 was simply shocking! The author really has put a lot at stake with this newest chapter. I mean, killing off the ENTIRE country? I refuse to believe they'll stay dead though... i think she knows that many would lose their interest in the series if that were to happen. I think that something will happen where their souls will be returned to their bodies (hopefully...), and who knows, maybe in the process Al will finally get his body back?

The series seems like its going to end soon, but considering there is still Father and 3 humunculi left to deal with, i don't believe it'll be ending in 5 chapters like some guess. I don't want the series to end.... T^T

No, you're not alone. That would be totally epic.
Except that I'd put Greedling there instead of Hohenheim, something like - he wanted the whole world to himself, now he got it xP (very Truth-kun-like, wouldn't that be? xD)
Okay, I admit, I just don't want him to die D: Then again, that would be so much worse than death.

...I just hope Arakawa doesn't pull a Kishimoto (Naruto Pein arc, I'll spoiler-tag this, just to be safe xP) and
for no reason other than an obligatory happy ending D:

Ohmygod! What the frick was up with that chapter?! >.> She wouldn't actually kill them, would she? That would make her crazy...Al still has to get his body back, Roy still has to be un-blinded, and Havoc has to be un-paralyzed and every-friggen-one else has to be un-dead!

That's what I keep telling myself. I have no idea how to get out of a situation like this, but I have faith in Arakawa's ability to consistently wow me every month with her brilliance.

I can't see how she could possible fail as hard a Kishi did, though. In that case it was jsut like

Whereas, in this case, if they do find a way to "bring people back" it will be something more along the lines of reattaching their souls (which are presumably in Father atm) to their bodies. Which will be no simple task, to be sure, but I can't see our heroes letting that stop them.
