| OMFG!!!11!1!1one1!11!1!!!!! ROY!!1!!!!!!!!1111!!11!!! ArnoldK said: AriSky said: 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. It's mentioned before that in the FMA world, a human is made up of three components. The Body, Mind and the Soul. At the moment only the soul is not with Al's body. There is still a mind so I guess it can talk on it's own maybe. |
| Awesome chapter!!! Alphonse was kind of stupid to leave his body, but that will make things more interesting. If Al gets his body back and Ed gets his arm and leg, does that mean everyone else can get what they lost back? Could Roy get his eyes back? When Ed went through the gate again, the truth had his arm and leg if I remember correctly, so maybe the Truth is willing to forgive them. Can't wait for the next chapter!!! |

| Where i can read this one? Vevermind, i found it. Man, its very sad chapter. Pride's words were so true and cruel... I'm very sad because of Al and Roy. I hope Scar kill Wrath |

| This chapter made me immensely sad :( I wish Al would've gotten his body back... he needs a brain >_> |
 |
| Depressing but excellent chapter. Poor Roy... just damn. And Al was so close to his real body.*sigh* |
 |
| Wow, sucks to lose your eyesight. =[ |

| I'm kinda revealed... coz my ex-boyfiriend said that probably in this chap Roy'd die... (he even gave me a bunch of arguments to prove the piont). Now Roy's like a gun whithout a viewer... |
| Roy losing his eyesight. The battle of the nameless warriors. Alphonse rejecting the very source of his quest ... man what a chapter. |
 |
Monochrome said: 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. |
| I reject your reality, and substitute my own. |
| Mustang NO :( and Al didn't get his real body back...a shame but he had to choose. Masashi Kishimoto and Tite Kubo should take note on how to end a shonen manga. |
 |
| No!!!! Roy! Man it's gonna be a killer wait for the next chapter. |
| "Eat till you explode, Play till you drop, Whatever reason it is, just live live live!" |
| Well things are looking a bit down right now. This is a pretty big jam they've got into. |

| GOD I almost cried. Awesome chapter, Hiromumu! FMA will be the greatest series EVER~ I just love it *^* Alphose really touched me when he rejected his body. I love him <333 ;-; such a good little brother <333 Wrath is GODDAM cool ò-o but really, I wished Ling finished him. But Scar is also a good option. I liked his character development. Can I say that Salem/Pride is also REALLY badass??? Srsly, what a child. The best one. Mustang, oh, Mustang... I can already see Risa crying because of his blindness. Never saw that coming. Hiromumu getting us AGAIN. Ok, so, what I expect: - Ed and Al get their bodies back - Roy gets his vision back - awesome fight with Father - happy ending! But thinking about it... - Ed and Al don't get their bodies back. Or just Al, I feel sorry for him >: and Ed is sexy with his automail <33 - Roy stays blind and decides that Risa will be his eyes from now on, and he becomes Fuhrer [THAT WOULD BE SOOO ROMANTIC! *-*] - awesome fight with Father - lots of mysteries solved *-* - somewhat happy ending, I think Hiromumu wants to see her child all happy... Nobuhiro Watsuki's kind of thing. Or maybe not :/ but anyway I expect learning a really good and valuable last lesson from her. She's the best. - Yeah, I think Hoho-dad will sacrifice himself to protect their children. Maybe finishing with "Trisha, I'm going to where you are..." <3 - Ling with Ran Fan ruling Xing!! *___*~ - Ed marries me!! [oh wait that's not gonna happen ._.] |

sirwence said: Indeed one of the most depressing FMA chapters... this. plus I have THE BIGGEST phobia of blindness. ROYYYYYY D': |
| ~ empirexstate [turn, hellhound, turn!] |
| We keep getting one epic chapter after the next. Roy's blindness just about killed me... It will be interesting to see how the series ends, it has certainly a bumpy, but fantastic ride. |
     |
| Noooooooooooooooessss ROOOOYYYY!!!! My poor dear Mustang T___T *pat pat pat pat* Don't worry, Riza will take care of you even if you're blind *sob* |

| #64 Don't forget Oda. He is also pushing it to the max. I don't see the big deal for the after math, if they some how make it out of this, and Roy became the fhurer, he want's to take responsibility for the Massacre of Ishibal, so it will end up with him dead, blind or not. That's if he continue on his own path of Martyrdom |
 |
| I thought Roy won't have any defect after passing through the "Gate"...who knows he goes blind...poor Roy... Al was so considering when he reject to go back to his own body but I just don't like that he reject his to go back to his own body.... |
| I felt very sad for Al T_T I hope it all works out okay for him in the end, but it doesn't seem like that kinda manga, heh. I wonder how many more chapters there are to go? |

That's if he continue on his own path of Martyrdom Someone speculated that maybe after Roy becomes furher and restores democracy, his successor should have him and his team pardoned for their crimes in Ishbal. Interesting idea. I don know if it will come to pass, because it doesn't quite fit with the concept of "endure, but don't forgive" that the manga's been dealing with. |
 |
| Al's body is gross and creepy |
| There was so much WIN in this chapter it can't be quantified, so I won't even try. Great stuff this was. Looking forward to Pride getting his comeuppance though, little bastard. |
 This Fairy Tale Is Ending |
| 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! >< |
| I was in a real shock when I read that Roy went blind. i'm still fangirl depressed about it T_T . |
| Oh my God. This chapter... just... oh my God! First off, I thought it was kind of poetic that throughout the entire manga storyline, Ed and Al worry that Al's body might reject his soul after being apart from it for so long... however it was Al's soul that rejected his body in the end! So sad, though, he was SO close! And Mustang, one of my favorite characters! I can imagine Hawkeye's reaction. But seriously, we go from worrying that she's going to die to worrying that Roy's going to die! Damn, Arakawa-san sure knows how to keep us on our toes, doesn't she? Such an amazing manga-ka! Dear Month, Please go by quickly! Thank you. |
| Oh, the irony of Truth... Homunculus really went crazy when Alphonse came back. Like he was hungry. Mmmm. I wonder if Al will get another chance to get back his body? Overall, epic chapter. Can't wait for the ending! |
"A detoxified Akihabara would just be another electronic town!"  |
| Well that sucked:( Poor Roy |
| omgggg fma is at the climaxxx!!!!!!!toooo intenseeee!!!!!! but wowwww i didnt expect roy to become blind ahhhhhhh when the "father" was listing how everyone ironically lost so much because they tried human transmutation, roy was totally the worst off, edward al and izumi all did it for their own purposes yet roy was forced through it and now lost his sight..... feel so srry for him >.< |
 |
| 1. Why did Roy lose something when he wasn't even the one performing the transmutation? 2. Why would Al reject his body, even if it did mean not being able to fight for a time, when he knows damned right that being able to come back to get it would mean opening the gate again by causing something terrible to happen? (That's what his body meant when saying "Your return will bring nothing but despair and ruin"). 3. Is Roy going to rely on Riza to "be his eyes", and let rip that pun the manga so frequently makes reference to? (cause she's a sniper and watching his back, get it?) Hell, is she going to die or somehow sacrifice herself in a way which allows Roy to have her eyes transplanted into his head? Because that would be the ultimate irony, and pure genius. Will that transmutation circle on her back have anything to do with that process? 4. Wouldn't it be ironic that since Roy is aspiring to be the Fuhrer, if he were able to acquire the "all-seeing eye" from Bradley after his defeat? Because that would be made of win, and would obviously solve his eye problem... From the very person he was looking to replace. Unfortunately it would probably mean he would have to become a homunculus, but probably a human one that ages, like Bradley. I'd have no argument with that. It's not like he'd be much different. Besides, that already turned one main character into one, what's one more? 5. Maybe defeating Father would be the key to getting back what everybody's lost so far (although unlikely), allowing us to enjoy a happy ending? Who knows. Awesome chapter though. |
| HAHAHAHHA are people actually in here giving kudos for Roy losing his eyes?? What was he supposed to lose? a arm? a leg? his body? some organs? oh no maybe his hair, I bet NOBODY would have saw that coming lol |
| Too bad for Roy. Wonder if he can transmute with a circle. Most likely. Awesome when Al met his body then wanted to go back with his body armor. |
 |
| poor sexy roy |
 |
| Ok so we all know that father wants people who have seen the truth and gone through the gates for his sacrifice, the question is why and what will he achieve. Maybe he is some sort of outcast ( he is black and truth is white) and gathering 5 persons who have gone through the gates will be able to give him all the info he needs to open a doorway and dethrone or kill truth and become god or truth himself. What does everyone think of my theory or was it too obvious? |

| To be completely honest, I think it's too shallow. I'm expecting this to turn out somewhat deeper.. But I wouldn't know now would I? ^^; Good theory nevertheless : p |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
Oosran said: To be completely honest, I think it's too shallow. I'm expecting this to turn out somewhat deeper.. But I wouldn't know now would I? ^^; Good theory nevertheless : p What else could father want? Is there anything beyond the lust for power that he might want, is there something beyong wanting to become a god or truth himself. Could he be an old spirit of a human who wants to retrieve a dearly beloved person to himself and be the first to successfully do human transmuation. Or maybe retrieve somethng of himself that he lost to truth. So many ways this manga could go. |

| I think we all agree Hiromu Akawa is a fucking genius. Despite the depressing change of events, she never ever ever messed up one chapter in the whole goddamn series. You gotta praise the guy, all her villains got a fucking background. And all her characters are awesome. I've never seen this before. How can she think of so many things at once? (And thank god it's not the main-character-glory type of shounen, everyone gets their part with some sort of intelligent deep reason). And characters keep dying reasonably when you least expect it (that's awesome :) I like to be surprised and not see everyone surviving with a deus ex effect, getting out unscathed) Shit, this is just genius. I couldn't expect more of her. And mustang going blind, that was just powerful. Hands down. 5/5 |

| even though I'm not a big fan of Roy , i felt sorry for him...i got alittle teary when i read that chapter :( |

| Seriously, I was so sad when his eyesight was lost. At first I didn't think he took anything but then when he asked if the lights were out I was like </3 When he was stumbling around and tripped over that cord...god, that was so sad. T_T And Al giving up his body just to keep fighting? Like everyone else said, this has to be the most depressing chapter ever. "Who will be remembered forever as the one who took my life?" I don't like the guy but I will not deny it. That was extremely badass. |
| \ |
Well I thought that he was going to lose one eye, remember this... But God Damn, he actually lost his whole sight! :S I didn't like Al ditching his body though, I mean who really needs a strong body when you can wield alchemy? Very kind gesture but dumb at the same time. Father (Who is starting to look a lot la Venom) has all the pieces in place now, let's see what he will do next. |
MeLcHoR said: I mean who really needs a strong body when you can wield alchemy? Who needs alchemy when you're too weak to react on the enemy's attack in time anyway? I doubt he could even walk quickly, not to mention fight effectively xP |
