RWAAARRR!!!!!!!!

Collect the raw here! ^^

Chapter 82 RAW

WAH~ 44 pages!

OMG THANK U SO MUCH Cherry Blossom Alchemist (goes to read)

Thanks so much, Cherry Blossom Alchemist!!

*downloads and reads*

Tagging my spoilers for now.
Wow. That was a neat chapter. xD Breadmouth!Ed made me laugh. xD

The part with Greed and Ling was very emotional, and the fight with Wrath was nice and action-packed. And the 'car chase' scene was awesome.

Ed didn't get to drive. D':

And WOW. Ed looked exactly like Kimblee on page nine! O.o FTW!

I can't wait for the translation. ^^

Raw looks interesting. Can't wait for the translation.

Woo, a RAW! Thanks, Cherry Blossom Alchemist!
I hope we can get a better quality one for when people start scanlating, but right now I'm just really happy to have something.

My comments (based on what I see, since I can't read it ):

-Breadmouth!Ed XDD His face when they're doing the whole hostage stunt is classic, too.

-It's that same couple whose car Riza hijacked! :lmao: We saw them in Rush Valley, too. It's too bad Ed wasn't the one driving.

-The frame on page 9 of Ed sitting in the back looking all evil genius-y is probably the best evil!Ed shot we've seen thus far.

-Poor Greed was defeated by a teacup.

-The real Ling is back!!!!! I was worried he wouldn't quite be himself, but that face he's making in the panel is classic Ling. I'M SO HAPPY! *fangirl*



Edit: I just realized that there are 42 pages!!!!!! =0

Wow FMA Chapter 82 and new Doctor Who on Youtube-I'm in heaven!

Thank you!

Ed most likely won't be celebrating his B-Day. it'll probably be before he reunites with Al and Al will think something like, "I wonder where Ed is? It's his birthday already and I don't even know where he is" or something along those lines.

August was the last time we've seen Roy, so it's been eight months. We're going on our ninth *cries*

thanks for the RAW and the summary and the chapter picture Edamane, Tombow, and Cherry Blossom Alchemist!

Thanks for bringing the raw over here, cherry blossom alchemist!

rofl- Al pulling the RTC out of his loincloth, classic XD

I lightened up the pages a bit and uploaded them to photobucket.

I think it's likely that Ed will remember his birthday after the fact.

This chapter is too awesome for words *___*

Is it just me or did this chapter finally got back the "hagaren-feel"?
Not only the drawing style... (for previous chapters I always felt the drawings were rather "juushin enbu-ish", while I don't feel it for this chapter)... but omg, the CRACK.
The awesome crack.
Awesome kidnapping. Awesome doctors. Awesome couple (that has appeared for numerous times). Ed's awesome (?) tastes. Hoho-papa and Al's awesome conversation. Al's awesome loincloth that's like Doraemon's pocket XDDDD
Poor Mr. Chimera ;-; and totally, WELCOME BACK GREED. WE MISS YOU. Welcome back, Lin, as well. It's sooo-Lin, to poke Ed right away for food XD I totally love the fight between Wrath and Greed *_* Haven't felt this hot-blooded in a while... I think this fight is even more awesome than Envy x Dr. Marcoh (well this fight is awesome too! Of course).

and of course... CONGRATS TO FMA FOR GETTING 42 PAGES THIS CHAPTER!

PS. Roy, where the hell are you?

I think Pride will probably get to the hideout where Ed and Lin are... man, the part where Ed was like "AL IS GONNA BE HERE, TOTALLY!" and then Al isn't here... argh, this sure breaks the heart of elricest fangirls XD

I am loving this chapter, totally. =w= *grabs a McD's burger*

THANK YOU FOR THE RAWs!!! Thanks Tombow for the translation!!!! 40+ PAGES! HOLY COW! XD

QFT'd!
As usually, relying on aa's words for me humble opinion.... U

[fanboy]
LINGLINGLINGLINGLINGLINGLINGLINGLINGLINGLINGLING!!!!!!!!!11onehundredandeleven
[/fanboy]

*ehem*

Eeh... got nothing to add for the moment, you just said it all, darnit. XD
Oh yes, one thing: Totally lol'd at the first failure of the Elric Telepathy after quite some time. XD
I think we all expected (except for those of you impacients, who spoiled yourselves such an awesome chapter beforehand) him going to Reole after so many cases of brotherly synchronized thinking lately, but then... FAIL! T'was a good one. XD

Aaand let me pay my respects and give my goodbyes to Bido. ( u_u)n
He did play his expected role (I knew he would be important TuT ) and "brought back" his old master (and Ling with him XD ), but he had to pay it with his life too.
Why did all the Devil's Nest chimeras have to die?

Well, there goes one for the Volume 20 (21? lost the count) spine.

Some more curious thoughts...
- Ed's taste keeps getting worse and worse.
- Poor "anonymous rich couple", losing yet another car... XD
- Oh, and that was yet another fast trip too, back to Central in a few pages worth.

PS: Oh, yes, and... what's with Ed cosplaying as Winry in the cover? XDDD

EDIT: Several retouches for better readableness!

I DID NOT SEE IT. *puts it on ignore*

*fangirls w/ you* LIN LIN LIN LIN LIN LIN LIN LIN LIN */fangirls*

And yeah totally, I am glad I didn't bother with reading the FMA spoilers this time except for looking at the cover anbd refreshing my P2P program and mangahelper for the complete raws *_* and that's cuz I have recently been addicted to Nabari no Ou so I didn't bother to spoil fma for myself lol This is totally one of those chaps that would've ruined the fun by spoiling one-self before hand. <3

My nose went a little sour at Greed's flashback scene ;_;
and got so creeped out when the "camera" was focusing on Pride @_____@;; the creepiest _fakeshota in manga history...

Oh, another thing... Ed appeared to have grown taller in the previous chapters, right? Is it just me, or did he looked tinier in this chapter...? *gets automail-ed for saying tiny* I am totally not complaining. Tinier Ed looks a lot more natural to me than the taller/bulkier looking Ed.

Whoaa, thank you Cherry Blossom Alchemist and Tombow, that's really great to finally have the raw and to be able to read what's going on...

I can't believe Ed thinks that the new car is "cool", he really doesn't have any artistic sense, hurgh...
But seeing him again in action is great. He seems to love his bread, and his face while he was a "hostage" was priceless....Hoo, and it seems that he will stay a while like he is : hair not brained, with no red coat...I can't complain ^^.

Lin is back !!! But poor Bido....and the fight between greed and wrath was awesome, go go go greed/lin !!!

And the elric connection didn't work...lol. Or Eward wasn't really thinking of Al but of Lin, and that will be strange..lol. But it's great to see them together, I can't wait for the next chapter !!!

Ho, and concerning the birthday thing, personally, I thought that Ed was already 16. I mean, it's been a while since winry told him that he was going to be sixteen...but I can be wrong, I won't deny that it could be great to have Ed remembering his birthday during a big fight, or better, if it's Hohenheim who thinks about it when they meet again....I can totally imagine the scene ^^.

I'm going to call this the 'dirty looks' chapter, Ed, Hoho and Greed (he count) all give that whole 'filthy look' feel. Though as AA put it, it gives it that classic Hagaren feel.

Heeee, no complaints from me this time round; even I thought that this was an awesome chapter! ^^

I actually almost cried after Bido was murdered ;_; and the memories of all the Devil's Nest chimera's got to me too...it may of only been in memories, but it was great to see those guys again...until we see that infamous 'river of blood' that Bradley/ Wrath created back in the Devil's Nest massacre chapter. >.<`

It's good to see Ling back to normal ( well for the moment) too...that last page with him doing that nervous smile of his is just adorable.

Thanks for the raw!!! ^^

For my translation of chapter 82, please go to this page. ^^

Lots of action scenes in this chapter!!
The scene with Bido is so sad!! When he died he had tears in his eyes!! Poor thing!!

Ed is back to being good old Ed, including his sensitivity to "S" word. XDD
But, I will probably never buy a car designed by him!!
Post more of my thoughts later, but overall very satisying chapter!!


HisshouBuraiKen, thanks for your translation! I like having your company, but as I edited my translation that was posted right above your post before I moved it, I almost hit the edit button on your translation. XD So, I moved mine away before I absent-mindedly do anything to your translation by accident. XD

Someone asked me why I use "Lin" instead of "Ling." My answer is because that's what's written in the character intro page at the start of every Japanese tankobon. It's been retconned. I don't care about the bracelet in chapter 35

I hope Al managed to find Winry and the others...
So we need to join up with Al.

Lion: Weren't you two staying at Briggs while you were up there?
Ed: Central's taken control of the fort, we can't go anywhere near it.

Where would Al go in this situation?
Think...
Think...

Hohenheim: ...And that's about it.

Page 10:
Hohenheim: Hello?
Al: Ack!

Hohenheim: Did you...understand everything?
Al: Ummm...
So you were a slave who became a Philosopher's Stone?

Hohehneim: Well...Yes.
Al: Ah...okay...

Hohehneim: ...you don't believe me.
Al: You leave us, I don't see you for over 10 years, and your story is so out there it's ridiculous. I'd have to be crazy to believe you.

Page 11:
Hohehnehim: ...I know...
SFX: Sigh...

Al: Oh well...

I guess that makes me crazy.
SFX: Sigh

As they say, "Nothing is impossible."

Hohenheim: You really process things quickly.
Al: Actually, if I had pants, I would've peed them by now.

Maybe...
Maybe I believe you because the story of my own body would sound just as wild.

So...
what does not being able to die feel like to you?

Hohenheim: What does it FEEL like? Uhh...I mean, this body comes in handy for a lot of things, but...

I can't take seeing my loved ones die any more.

Page 12:
Al: I...
I'm tired of being alone all night, every night.

I know what you're talking about, too.
Grandma Pinako had a picture of us all.
It was taken when I was just a baby, but you still look the same.

She said, "Hohenheim and I were drinking buddies back in the day."
And when someone her age says, "Back in the day," they don't mean 10 or 20 years.
Hohenheim: No...I guess not.

Pinako and I knew each other from...it must be 50, 60 years ago by now. She introduced me to Trisha...
Al: ...and you two got married?

Hohenheim: Oh, boy. I took one look at her and totally swooned.
Al: ..."Swooned?"
Small text: How can he say this stuff with such a straight face?

Hohenheim: ...Trisha died before me, too...

Page 13:
Al: Uhh...sssso...
If you're a Philosopher's Stone, that means your body isn't like a normal one, right?
Does that mean we're...ummm...I mean, are-

"Does that mean we're not human," is that what you want to ask?
Al: ...Yes.

Hohenheim: You're fine.
I've essentially been broken down and rebuilt as an entity merged with all the souls used to make the Stone...but the core, the part that's still ME, is human.

But the man...the THING you met in Central...

It's only wearing a shell that resembles me.

Al: Him...oh yeah!

Page 14:
Al: He's trying to do to this country what he did to Xerxes, right?
We've got to stop him!
Small text: PLEASE don't pull stuff out of your crotch...

Hohenheim: Wow, nice work. You've discovered a lot.
This is the inverted transumtation circle, correct?

Al: The first thing we have to do is destroy that tunnel. That's why-
Hohenheim: Don't even think about it. There's an extremely powerful Homunculus, "Pride," lying in wait down there.

Al: But-
If we don't do something SOON, they'll finish the circle!

Hohehneim: Actually, it may already be complete.
Al: Then why are you acting so calm?!

Hohenheim: "The Day" hasn't come yet.

Al: Eh-
So we should-
Hohenheim: Alphonse.

Page 15:
Hohenheim: Don't be so focused on what's at your feet. Look up.
There are things to be seen above you, too.

Al: Look up?

The sky?
The Sun God, Let?

He's waiting for "The Day" to come.

... This chapter was AWESOME! Thank you, Arakawa, for giving us 42 pages of utter WIN!


You're absolutely right, I think Ed looked tinier than he has in a log time (or maybe he just looks tiny in comparison to the huge men). But, aw, he looked cuter than he has in a long time, too. I want Ed to be taller than Winry, but I missed seeing the "chibi" Ed that we've all become used to.

And oh, the CRACK in this chapter was amazing. Arakawa hasn't been including many funny moments recently, so it's great that she added some humor and brought back the old "FMA feel." I love Arakawa's sense of humor.

Poor Bido and Greed. I'm glad Ling returned back to normal, I never liked Greed!Ling much. I much prefer the original Ling with his ridiculous grin and antics.

Selim looks creepy... you'd think his mother would notice the weird look in his eyes, but I guess not. She's too blinded by her love, or maybe she's too oblivious to notice... or there could be something more going on. (But probably not).

Thank you Cheery Blossom Alchemist, Causmicfire, Tombow and HisshouBuraiKen!

Poor Ed is always hanging around with giant people who make him look like a dwarf!

Thanks for the translations!

I just figured out that if you use [Ctrl]+G on CDisplay (the manga-viewing program that I'm guessing a lot of us use to see the .zip files), the raw doesn't look so light.

[Ctrl]+G turns gamma correction on/off. If you turn off gamma correction, you can kind of see the back of the scanned pages, but at least it's not so dang light!

Thank you Tombow and HisshouBuraiKen for your translations. I always read them both to try to get a better sense of what the manga is saying.

I love the hostage-taking, Ed's style, and Lin/Ling's return! YAY FMA!

lol, great chapter.
The return of Ling! God, I love that guy.

I really enjoyed the whole Ling x Wrath interaction. It was cooooool.

And thanks to everyone that made it possible for us to read this.. It was really a great chapter. :0

Thanks for the translations Tombow and HisshouBuraiKen!

This chapter was awesome!

Greed inner turmoil was done wonderfully. I like that it brought back the themes of kinship, full force. I Wonder how hard it will be for Ling to keep control of his body.

Such a great chapter, Edo is back and it's oh so gooooood, we get some of our LING back, yayz! (Although Pride looks pissed, which makes me worried for our friend the garbage disposal), Papa Hoho loves Alphonse (and Al seemed so much older too), all is almost good in the world.

That's one of my favorite things about FMA, is how Arakawa ages the three "child" characters, i.e. Ed, Al and Winry. I finally bought my own copies of the books and have been re-reading them, and I'm amazed at how young they look, and how mature they've become - even Al, and it's hard to show maturity in a suit of armor. But I really feel like the three of them have grown a considerable amount since the beginning of the series, and I absolutely love it.

Now let's see, in the most recent chapters, we've caught up with Edo, Al, Papa Hoho, Ling, Envy, Mei Chan, Marcoh, Scar, Winry, Major General Armstrong, King Bradley, Father, even Rose......now who are we missing.......oh yeah, ROY AND RIZA.

I'm going through serious withdrawal here.

*crosses fingers in hopes that at least ONE of them appears in the next chapter*

There's a scan up by michellethemit from MangaHelpers -

http://rs311.rapidshare.com/files/10758136...hellethemit.rar

The chapter is out!

Holy F**K! That was THE BEST chapter I have EVER read! With the dad and the Ed and the Greed-sama (GREED-SAMA!)and the splortch and finally, FINALLY, the reeruption of Greed's memories and the attacking wrath and, and and!

*childish glee*

I was seriously bouncing up and down in my chair as I read this!

Question: I may have mentioned this earlier, but I have to ask again - if Mrs. Bradley is watching this battle as they call each other "greed" and "Wrath" and the shield is shown on Greed, doesn't this mean she knows about the homonculi? If she does, then why would she have called Selim her "pride and joy" in chapter 70? No one could make a slip like that unless it was on purpose. Could they have wanted Hawkeye to find out about Selim... well, that's all part of my drawn out plan that I've already explained in the RoyAi thread ages ago..."I'm sure you guys have heard this theory before, but in case you haven't, i think its possible that this whole stalking thing is part of Bradley (Sr)'s plan to get Roy to open the door. Bradely was the one who saw Roy and Riza during their biggest "moment" (chapter 39, i think it was) he was right outside the door watching, and he decided not to kill Roy, telling his father and brothers that Roy "has a soft heart and that's his greatest stregnth and greatest weakness" and that he thought he could open the door for them. Then he moves Riza to work under him and has his son stalking her. I'm thinking that this is all part of some big plan to get Roy to open the door, which is bad news for both of them..."

Sorry for the rambling. I don't just say this because I'm a RoyAi fan, i swear...

That is suspectible, but she didn't know who Lin was. I don't think that she knows about the homunculi.

@RoyxRizaFan- She may and she may not. I assume the fight went really fast. So she might heard them call greed and wrath, and seen Greed's shield. But, if this is the first time she had seen this it may take her a while to process the information. Or maybe she may not understand it at all. .... Although, if she knows all about Homunculi, that wouldn't surprise me, neither. ^^

My question is, did she notice Pride's hands coming out of Selim? She was right next to Selim, and I would think she would have noticed these things coming out underneath her child's feet.




BTW, a few words about Mrs. Bradley's "supposed" quote about "my pride and Joy." I said this thousand times ever since some translation came out for that chapter, and I say this again. XD Although some of you might have read a version of English translation/scanlation of that chapter in which Mrs. Bradley described Selim as "my pride and joy," in Japanese raw the word she used there is NOT THE SAME WORD being used for Pride, the homunculus. The word Mrs. Bradley used there in the raw is a DIFFERENT WORD and she said something along the line of "he is my esteemed (i.e. proud, as Mrs' Bradley is also holding favorable opinion of her son and holding him in high esteem and feeling good about him... ^^) son." Then, in some English translation of that chapter, this part was "happen to be" translated as Mrs. Bradley saying "He is my pride and joy."
Don't get me wrong... I think it sounds very nice and poetic . ^^ But it's not direct from the raw.
Let me repeat: Mrs. Bradley's supposed words, he is my pride and joy." is a poetic translation made up by some translator. And, although the meaning itself of that quote is not far from what she says in the raw, and it's a nice poetic translation, but being put this way, this has been misleading some scanlation readers as if this is another hint placed by Arakawa-sensei. It is not.
It may still be true that Mrs. Bradley knows that Selim is Pride, but my point is, IMO this does not stand as much of a proof or sign that Mrs. Bradley knows that Selim is Pride, as some readers of English scanlations may think, as these are not the words from the raw.

Yeah, I think she must believe Lin is some kinf of maniac who wanted to kill her husband for some reason. He is the President after all, people could try to kill him. And perharps that she will have some questions after this, for the moment she is quite shocked and is really worried about her husband and her son.

In fact, I think that the reason why Bradley could use Riza against Roy is because he "knows" of what he is feeling : love toward a woman. I think Bradley is apt to understand the humans best because of his own human feelings.

Tombow havent u read the chapter yet

@The Frozen Alchemist - Ummm, yeah.. I had to read it, as I translated it. XD
Although, if you mean reading the scanlated chapter, no I haven't read it yet.
And, btw, if you're referring to currently available scanlation, then the translation of that scanlation is not by me. Scanlation from a team on our board will be coming out later. ^^
Actually, this reminds me that I have to go back and edit my translation where it didn't make much sense because I was way too sleepy when I was typing it. XDD

I saw your translation but i didnt hav time to read it

Yay! Ling is back!! ^__^

And thank you Tombow for the translation! =]

There is a fight going on in her living room why would she care about her sons feet?

^ Why would she care?? Because that's her son, and some weired creepy hands are coming out of her son, that's why. But yes, it is very possible that she didn't see them.

More question... the one who showed up at the house was Ling.
I wonder what happened to Greed.

Thanks for the translation!


This chap is really cool! Ling is back! YAY!

Am I just missing something or that "that day" hasn't been revealed yet? Oh well, I think I need to review the previous chapters now.

And I'm currently suffering from the lack-of-Royai disease... It's destroying everything inside me.

Thanks to all who've brought the Raw, translations, scanlations, etc!

My thoughts:

Aha! Ed is short again! I loved the escape scene! Those doctors were prime! My kids would love Ed's "Monster Truck!"

One thing I noticed was Al saying "And you two were married" to Hohoheim When Ed and AL met up with Father Ed said his parents were never married so why would Al say that? I know just a minor detail, I just thought I'd point it out.

Also, in regards to Mrs. Bradley knowing about Salem/Pride take a look at Mrs. Bradley's eyes in this picture:

I might just be the way she is standing that they didn't put much detail in her eyes, but to me she looks possessed.

Finally, Ed is very articulate when speaking with a loaf of bread in his mouth--I wonder if he'll share his food with Ling!

Hello all, I'm new here. As my log-in name aptly shows, I'm not the most creative person alive... but anyways, here's my first post:



I feel fairly confident that she would care if she noticed the hands coming out of him, but the point is, if a curious stranger that your husband apparently knows breaks into your house and starts attacking your husband, your child's foot isn't something you'll be paying too much attention to... As for Mrs. Bradley (do either of the Bradleys, as in King Bradley and Mrs. Bradley, have a first name yet?) being possessed, I'd say it was just the angle that she was portrayed at, nothing to read too deeply into.

Oh, and thanks to everyone involved in the scanlation process.

What an amazzinnnngggg chapter. For some reason i only got the first half of the spoiler summary, so I was surprised to see Greed.

That was an amazing fight and an incredible sequence of events, I was so very happy to see that Devil's Nest played apart. I was very upset to see those guys gone in volume 7.

Ling was not my favorite character in the beginning but him taking over greed was sooo welllllll done.

Only question about that is, Does Ling have the abilities of the philosopher's stone still, or does he have to be possessed by Greed to be able to have multiple lives and the ultimate shield?

Ling with those abilities would be sweeeettttt.

other questions

What is up with the Leto (sun god)? What part could he possibly play? are they talking about truth?

Wait, did hohenheim know about the reverse circle? I thought he made it?

Why is ed short again ?

and most of all, WHAT WAS THAT PHILOSOPHER'S STONE (picked up at the mines where ed almost died) USED FOR?! OR WAS IT USED AT ALL? WHAT IS IT'S PURPOSE?

curious things i liked
-relationship between ed and his new animal friends
-Ed's pimped out car
-the guards reaction to ed becoming a hostage
-Hohenheim's comment about Al taking stuff out of his croch
-Ling and Ed back together! Yess!

OH and on One Manga, i really loved the translation HisshouBuraiKen loveeedd when ed asked why his car wasn't badass that was the most ed thing to say in my opinion.

that was long, sorry, but that is pretty much my full opinion, so there wont be much more.

I noticed that, too! I'm wondering if it's the translations or if they married unofficially (i.e. not civil marriage so Amestris wouldn't know).



King is Bradley's first name. His title and name are Fuhrer/President (depending on the translation) King Bradley. Mrs. Bradley has no name so far... I think.



I want to know this, too! Why haven't they told Ed?

Good points, Tombow. I know my theory was a little bit silly, but I wanted to put it out there to see what people thought. I wasn't part of this forum when chapter 70 came out, so i didn't know she didn't say "pride and joy". It makes more sense that she didn't.

Is Greed still inside of Ling? Isn't Greed just sitting back like Ling was before the end of this chapter, waiting for a chance to take over again?

I've been wondering about that PS, too. What happened to it?



That was my favorite line this chapter LOL

@Tombow
Greed was forced back due to Lin's starvation and loss of conciousness, and Lin regained control of his body at that point.

I finally read the chapter after finishing chemistry homework!

I am so gushingly happy about a lot of things, but the whole awkward conversation between Al and Hohenheim made me really happy, as well as Ed's incorrect assumption that Al would be at the safehouse. Those moments made me laugh harder than I've ever laughed reading the manga. (Although that may have had something to do with the chemistry...)

With Greed still inside him, I'm pretty sure Ling has trully accomplished immortal life. I love it when a plan coes together.

if Ling has been sitting back all along watching Greed, couldn't he tell Ed some behind the scene scoops about the homonculi's plan?

Does an immortal needs to eat???

Ling was a human with a philosopher's stone put into him. He is not a "complete" homunculus. By that I mean he was not created from materials around a philosopher's stone. So, yes Ling still needs to eat.
