| Okay so the ending was a bit you know the norm but despite that this was full metal alchemist when i look at the ending i look at the whole story. it was amazing, i almost choked up a bit. It was just great, everyone goin their separate ways and doing what they wanna do. |
 |
| Omg. I liked the ending. The only think it was missing was a MustangxHawkeye confession, which does make me a bit (very) angry, but still, he got his vision back, so it's not all bad. What I loved most was the unbelievably awkward confesion from Ed and Winry. End of a very good series, that I had over a years of great reading out of. Congratulations Arakawa. I'm eagerly anticipating the next work. |
| I HAVE NO REASON TO LIVE! FMA IS OVER (Oh wait, I still need to find out how One Piece ends :P) But seriously, a generic, normal, loose-end tying ending.....JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT. No deus ex villain, no last minute destruction of everything the heroes worked for, just an ending. And that's what we needed. An ending to tie everything up and make everything good at the end (well, I'm not too keen on Pride being alive but whatever. I'm sure they can just get Roy to toast his ass if he goes evil again). I was sad when Hoho-papa died but I think him seeing Trisha again was more important in the long run. So EdXWin confirmed (AlXMei confirmed too? Awesome) Ling emperor of the world okay Xing then the world :P and Royai....well, that'll get somewhere someday. All in all, a fantastic ending to a masterpiece of a manga. 10/10 Lady Arakawa. I salute you and your storytelling abilities and look forward to your next work. Just take a little time to rest will you? Last thing: GREED DIED! NOOOOOOOOOO! |

Tetradact said: 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? That is an excellent answer. You are not Arakawa sensei in disguise, aren't you? xD 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. That explanation is well done. You are not Arakawa sensei in disguise, aren't you? xD |

| Nice Happy end... Damn. I can not believe this is the end... Scar help restore Ishbal... Winry x Ed ^^ Al x May ^^ Lin as emperor... But I had hoped that he would rule with Greed. |

| Manly tears were shed..... Thank you Arakawa-sensei, for giving us an amazing story with incredible characters. This will go down as one of the greatest, most original shounen ever. Thank You for making me believe that it is still possible to make great stories. I will miss FMA very much, the end was great, the epilogue could've been better but for me I enjoyed the journey as much as I did the destination. To all Mangaka: Get a pen and paper and write some notes down, THIS IS HOW MANGA SHOULD BE DONE!!! |
| In any other series, I would've found the "cliche epilogue" style of this chapter incredibly infuriating. But... with FMA being what it is, and just how much all the characters had to suffer, I couldn't be any happier that everyone got a good ending. These characters really deserve some peace out of any other cast I've seen. Not to mention, a lot of the endings she thought up for the characters were really creative. (Like Yoki's circus, pffft.) Though, agreeing with some of you guys... more Roy and Riza would've been nice. ;___; akdsfjkafds I MEAN REALLYYY, don't they deserve more of a conclusion than that?! Wasn't expecting anything like a make-out session, but at least a significant nod to the couple would've been appreciated. But other than that, I think I'm satisfied with how everyone turned out. EdWin was to be expected, and though it's not my favorite pairing, the way Arakawa executed it was so freaking adorable and so true to their characters that I can't complain. And how AlMei was implied but not directly stated. For those two, I like how she kept that open-ended, since I don't mind whether they're romantic or not. (Awww, Mei turns out so pretty!!) Also, that interaction between Ed and his dad, where he finally acknowledges him as his father. That was one scene that REALLY got me, I can't even word it. kldajfkdsfadsf I'm going to be honest, it didn't draw out as many intense emotions from me as I thought it would! I wasn't bawling or anything. And I do think that all of those events seemed a little bit cramped, even within the span of ~100 pages. However, I do feel really satisfied and at peace with how that ended, and frankly, I can't imagine being as happy with the ending any other way. |

| In some ways I loved it, in others I thought it was a bit generic. Greed's ending was definitely perfect but I thought Father died a bit too easily (Who knows maybe it'll look better in the anime). My biggest gripe is with how Ed got Al back, that seemed like a big cop-out (and the "I don't need alchemy, I've got friends bla bla" was typical shounen bull) but I though the exchange between Hohenheim and Ed as father and son was great. Hohenheim's death was done perfectly, it was so sad. I was a bit disappointed Ed and Winry didn't kiss but I guess this is a shounen adventure and not a romance manga. Overall, I thought it was good but not awesome. |
 |
| A beautiful end for a beautiful manga. |
 |
| i am so happy with how it turned out! i think the ending was very nicely done, but i was so sad! Oh how I cried. Al is so handsome as well! ;D But I can't believe it's actually over! I miss it already! |
| ;D |
vindemon64 said: 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. It was great, but I also missed these characters a bit. So I agree with it, too: mooglebot said: Omg. I liked the ending. The only think it was missing was a MustangxHawkeye confession, which does make me a bit (very) angry, but still, he got his vision back, so it's not all bad. Except I'm not (very) angry because of it... It's something that's left for the fans' imagination...whether Mustang and Riza are togehter or not. I want to belive they are. XD ^^ But still I wanted to see them a bit more...T_T What I loved most was the unbelievably awkward confesion from Ed and Winry. Yeah, seeing them was so sweet! And I'm happy that Al decided to go to Xing to study with Mei. ^^I thought Hohemheim'll die while "rescuing" Al's body, but I liked this idea more! Other good point is that Grumman is the Fuhrer and not Mustang. :) (Even if Mustang is my favourite character, I think it's better so.) Overall I think it was a great ending and story. I already miss it... |

| Don't belive in yourself! Belive in me who belives in you! (TTGL) XD ...LOVE and PEACE!! ^_^ |
| WOW...I Totally dislike animation adaptations (Don't hate i still watch :) of comics But in this case the animated version might actually be better. The Way Father Died was IMO way to easy,after a sum 10 chapters of pwnage. Little Selim reborn was cute i must say >.< All in all this is the typical ending i knew would happen. Waiting for her next work! |
 |
| FMA is finally over too...good ending |
| Decent ending. A little too happy. One of the first manga I've ever read finished... Feels weird man. |

| Awesome ending |
| I'm surprised that it ACTUALLY ended, it just seems like a big time shounen like FMA would go on forever. This is only the 12th manga that I have finished.....out of 50!! Even though I'm sad about FMA ending, I'm happy the way it was done, no BS, no ridiculous last minute hax, just very good story telling. |

smurfdude said: Feels weird man. Yeah, but the generally happy ending feels good, man. *cough* Ok, ignore my last posts. I mainly had a "oooh look at the pictures" thing. Now that I've read the full chapter, cleaned and translated... ... I'm not crying, but DAMN do I feel like it! T_____T The only bad is that Izumi, Roy and Riza needed more screentimepagetime. I mean, such important characters and only 2-3 pages in the final chapter...? Arakawa, you BETTER make a gaiden/omake/whatever. Or else I'll eat burgers to take my revenge. (...get it? she's a cow... burgers are made out of meat... said meat belongs to cows...) Still, this is a perfect end for a perfect series. Hiromu Arakawa-san, I love you. Bye-bye, FMA... I only learned about you 7 months, started to like you 5,5 months ago and started reading the manga 4 months ago, but I will miss you. *waves tissue* ~ <3 |
| FMA's end was awesome...I also liked the edwin part epic manga is epic! |
| I can't believe i'm saying this . I seriously can't believe it . But the edxwin scene at the station was one of the most adorable things i've ever seen/read/heard/witnessed :) and this is coming from someone who hates romance in anime :) i'm glad they didn't kiss though :) |
| This was a decent ending. I was fairly satisfied with what I was given. Although it's not 100%, it's not left open either. I makes you wonder what the future's going to hold for everyone, but you're pretty sure everything will work out in the end. |
| I reject your reality, and substitute my own. |
| Great ending of great manga. I will remeber FMA for very long. |
| @kagepaul ^seriously . . We never know what that woman is upto :) a fantastic mind :) |
| The happy ending doesn't bother me at all, seeing as they've pretty much been through hell. That said, it was an amazing ride, I will miss you FMA. |

| NOOO IT ENDED! :'( |
cnaw said: @kagepaul ^seriously . . We never know what that woman is upto :) a fantastic mind :) Maybe an FMA spinoff??? like a story about Xing? |
| FUCK YEA EPIC END. Just needed to get that out of my system. Now I'm gonna wait/wish for Adventures of Alphonse Elric, because cmon, we have seen enough of Ed for a while... |
| Dem clubcards are big.. http://ilyasviel.mybrute.com |
| Great Story. One of the best I've ever read. Amazing. |
| DX I'll miss you, FMA... Thank you for so many great years... T^T |
| Great Ending. 10/10 NOthing else can be said. We can only appreciate the perfect ending to this perfect manga. |
 |
| K, so I gave in and read FMA, and if the Anime ends like that, FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU It didn't even have a drill and it was perfect. |
| Epic. Thank you, Hiromu Arakawa. |
     |
| A bit generic? Maybe, but after all the things these two brothers and everybody else had to go through, I would actually be dissapointed it things hadn't ended like they did in the end. Beautiful ending in every sense, and special mention to Hohenheim's last words. The only bad part is the empty feeling it left knowing that such a great work has finally come to an end. Fullmetal Alchemist, you will be missed. |
 |
| Best manga ever made. Or at least until Arakawa-sensei creates another... :P |
kleeny said: NOOO IT ENDED! :'( ^This. Some things still a bit sketchy but I guess it's hard to pull so many characters end life in one chapter. |
| I can't belive it's all over!!!:o The ending was bitter-sweet; lovevly ending, yet I didn't want it to end.:P The author is one tallented lady, she did state she'd do more work, yet she has set the bar really high for her next series. Still, I look forward to it.;) I'd actually like to see more into Izumi's story, aswell as Hoenheims 400 year adventures. |
 |
| The end was truly amazing. The only thing that could have made it better was more Armstrong and Mustang + Riza. I am sad to see such a great series come to an end. But at least Arakawa ended it on such a high note. It'll be hard to fill FMA's shoes. |
 |
| This was a great journey, a really exciting one). |
 |
| This was a perfect ending for an amazing manga, but I can't believe this is "The End", you know? I felt like I wanted to cried at some parts (especially when Hohemhiem wanted to sacrifice himself to bring back Al) and I'm happy that EdxWinry got to happen in the very end and when it shows that they had kids and also when Roy had a chance to get his eyes back. Thank you,Arakawa-san, for this very good story and this wonderful ending :3 . |
