~ Chapter 87 Spoiler Summary! ~

From 2ch

QUOTE
第87話「地下道の誓い」

歓楽街の一角、マダム・クリスマスの営むバー。
そこでロイに手渡された調査書には、セリムが人間でない証拠が詰まっていた。
20年前、35年前、40年前、50年前と、どの写真にも変わらぬ姿で写るセリム。
住所の家もダミーなら、出身地とされる街で一家を知る者すらなし。
店の外で、ロイをつける密偵が情報をつかんだ。マダムの正体はロイの養母だと。
さっそく店に踏み込むがもぬけの殻。そして突然の爆発。
すでに地下に逃げたロイが、店ごと密偵を吹っ飛ばしたのだ。
マダムはしばらく隠遁生活に。女の子たちは先に異国へ逃がしてある。
ロイ「…いいかげん坊や扱いはやめてくれないかなぁ」

マダムと別れ、地下道の奥の一室に入ると、すでにリザたち3人+ハヤテが待っていた。
ブラッドレイ一家の動きは先3日分把握ずみ。加えて列車爆破の報も聞いている。
彼らが取ったのは、夫人の誘拐。
ところが。軍中央部。ロイたちの動きは彼らに気づかれ、読まれていた。
”父”「まったくもって人間というのは度し難い」

幾度となくランファンに斬り殺され、休む間もなくリンの攻撃を受け続けるグラトニー。
シン王家関係者に伝わる気脈を読む力が、ただ夜目が利くだけにとどまらない力となる。
エドのすぐそばにフーじいさんの姿が。
じいさんはリンとグラトニー、セリム、そしてそれらをはるかに上回る気配を見ていた。
最後のはホーエンハイムである。エドの父が人間でないと知り驚く。
エド「害は無いから放っといていい」「まず人造人間をどうにかしないと」
グラトニーはランファンに任せてある。各種特殊爆弾も取り揃えている。
スラムに明かりが戻り始めたのを見て、エドに援護を頼まれる。

光が戻ったのを見て、通りすがりの住民が持つランタンを割り光源を確保したセリム。
プライドの“影”でハインケルをしとめようとするが、エドの炭素硬化に防がれる。
アルを操ることにしたがそれこそエドの思う壺。閃光弾でアルの全方位を照らされ“影”を滅される。
2発目に遭い追うこともできず、仕方なくグラトニーと合流。
グラトニーを喰らいその能力を得る。“鼻”で嗅ぐ臭いの先には、ホーエンが…!

Chapter 87 Summary

"Pledge in the underground passageway"

In Central. Area with many bars and drinking holes. Madam Christmas's bar.

Madam Christmas hands over a thick file of report on Selim, full of evidences that Selim is not human.
There are pictures of Selim from 20 years ago, 35 years ago, 40 years ago, 50 years ago, all with the same appearance. Selim hasn't changed in years.
The addresses listed were fakes. The people in the town listed as his birth place has no memories of his family ever existing in town.

Meantime, outside Madam Christmas' bar, two agents from Central Military discuss the information they have collected.
Madam Christmas' true identity is... Roy Mustang's adoptive mother.

The two agents raid Madam Christmas' bar.
The bar is empty. Then, there is a sudden explosion.

Mustang has set off the bomb and blasted the bar.
Madam is forced to retire her business and go hiding.
The girls who were working at her place have already been all escorted to the safety abroad.
Madam still treats Mustang as if he is a young boy. Mustang pleads to her to stop treating him as a kid.

After saying good-bye to Madam, Mustang heads for the secret hideout place deep in the underground passageway.
There are Riza, Hayate, and the gang waiting for him.
They have already researched the schedule for Mrs. Bradley for the next 3 days, and had the report of the explosion of the train Bradley was on.
They decide to kidnap Mrs. Bradley.

Meantime, in the strategy room in the Central military HQ. The Bradley's brass officers, with Father, is planning the next move also.
They read the next move by the Mustang and the gang, and lead to the conclusion that they would probably kidnap Mrs. Bradley.
Father utters.. "Humans... such incorrigible fools..."

Meantime, near the slum town....
Gluttony is getting cut up by Ranfan and getting repeated attacks by Ling.
The ability to sense the "chi" of the Xing is is being a powerful weapon.
There is Mr. Fuu by Ed also.
He can sense Ling and Gluttony fighting, then Selim, and he senses that there is another one with extraordinarily strong "chi" nearby... Ed tells that is Hohenheim, his father, and tells Mr. Fuu that he is harmless for now and we should not harm him.
Ed asks Mr. Fuu to attack Homunculi first.

They decide to leave the attack of Gluttony to Ling and Ranfan.
Mr. Fuu shows Ed a variety of bombs he has brought.

The light is coming back in the slum town.
Ed asks Mr. Fuu to help him while Ed attacks Selim.

Selim also notices that the light is back in the slum.
He attacks passer-by residents and obtains the light from the lantern.
The shadowy hands of Pride attacks Heinckel and goes for kill, but stopped by Ed's counter attack.
Selim notices that Pride's shadow is not being able to cut into Ed's arm.
Ed shows off his carbon steel arm (the same stuff as Greed's body) he has received while in the Northern army.

Pride decides to go inside Al's armor and attacks Ed, but that was what Ed was hoping for.
The powerful light from "flash" bomb brought by Mr. Fuu illuminates every parts of Al, inside and out, literally eliminating all the shadow.
Pride runs off and eats Gluttony who had been weakened by attacks by Ling and RanFan, thus obtains Gluttony's powerful sense of smell.

His nose senses the presence of another familiar smell...
Following the smell he finds Hohenheim...

HUH??? ROY?? RIZA???? *anxiously awaits chapter*
Alchemical
Roy and Riza? Hell yes!

I used one of those faulty online translators. What I could make out was... strange. blink.gif
jacksparrow589
YESSSS! Roy and Riza! And Ling and RanFan kicking homunculi butt together again! Seriously, did someone replace today with Christmas and not tell me? Ohhh... I await the translation with much enthusiasm!

EDIT: Just put it into an online translator, which gave me a pretty understandable translation, expecially when compared to what Tombow said. This is going to be one exciting chapter!
Turdaewen
Madame Christmas... that threw me off guard! I mean, I thought Roy already had a family... I'm just too curious, now.

As always, Aizen, thank you so much for the summary! ^^

Christmas: You hit the nail on the head, Roy-boy.

Selim Bradley's no human.
SFX: Flap

SFX: Slip

Page 3:
Mustang: These photos are so OLD.

20 years ago...
35 years...

40...
This one's 50 years old!

He never looks more than 5 years older or younger than his current age.

Page 4:
Mustang: Always at the side of top government officials...Selim Bradley...
Or rather, the Homunculus.

Christmas: I checked out the town they claim is the Fuhrer's birthplace.
There's plenty of documentation stating he was born and grew up there,
but the oldest residents have no recollection of anyone named "Bradley."

The house at his address was an obvious red herring.
And he has no relatives, of course.

Mustang: Thanks for everything, Madame Christmas.
I can only imagine how much work this took.
Christmas: You're telling me。

Page 5:
Christmas: Although once I learned Selim wasn't even human I managed to get a second wind.

Why hasn't anyone found out?
They must put him through medical exams at school.
Mustang: He's the Fuhrer's son - they send him to a family doctor for that.

Christmas: Ah ha.
And then he fudges the results.
Mustang: Exactly.

Guy: Where is he?
Guy2: Still inside.

Page 6:
Guy3: All that bum ever does is flirt with girls.
Guy: He's not just trying to pick up a date.

Guy2: You checked her out?
Guy: Yeah. That "Madame Christmas?"

Her real name's "Chris Mustang."
She's Colonel Mustang's foster mother.

SFX: Snap

Mustang: Cut me some slack, I said I'd buy you a new one.
Christmas: Nah, I need to lay low for a while. No shopkeeping for me.

Mustang: And you got the girls somewhere safe?
Christmas: I put my best guard with 'em,
they must be out of the country by now.

Page 9:
Mustang: Thank you, Madame.
I promise I'll make this up to you.

Christmas: Just make it to the top.
I'm expecting good things from you, Roy-boy.

Mustang: ...I wish she'd stop acting like I was still a kid.

SFX: Cree

Page 10:
Breda: You're late, Colonel.
We were about ready to ditch you.

Mustang: At this point, I'm even happy to hear your insubordinate yapping!

You're sure you weren't followed?
Hawkeye: If we were, he would have let us know.

Mustang: Useful little guy, isn't he?
Fuery: Indeed.
He should be a ranked officer, if you ask me.

Page 10:
Mustang: Well, let's say he's a 2nd Lieutenant then!
Fuery: He outranks ME?!

Mustang: What's the news on the Bradleys?
Hawkeye: We know how they'll move for next three days.

The Fuhrer is out east supervising the training exercises, and Selim is with him.
Mustang: About that...

The Fuhrer's train plummeted into a ravine.
Breda: Whoa, nice!

Must've been Grumman.
Fuery: What a daring thing to do.

Mustang: The Fuhrer and Selim are missing...
this is either the chance of a lifetime
or a trap.

Page 12:
Breda: Even if it IS a trap, we've gotta go for it.
Fuery: Yeah.

Mustang: This is your last chance to back out.
Everyone: Enough already!

Hawkeye: Your orders, sir.

Page 13:
Mustang: The four of us all hold a one-way ticket to the battlefield.
There will be no going back if we fail.

And as such, I have ONE order, and you WILL obey it.
SFX: Stomp

Mustang: "Do not die!"
Is that clear?

Fuery: Aye aye, sir!

Page 14:
Dude: Mustang's former underlings have been making their move as stealthily as possible.

Dude2: Stealthily? I would wager they're gearing up for some kind of all-out effort.

Father: What will they do next?
You all should have a much better understanding of their thought process than me.
[HAHA, look at the wood-carving steam coming out of Father's ears! He's had it with these jokers!]

Armstrong: If I were Colonel Mustang preparing to make my last stand...

Page 15:
Armstrong: The first thing I'd go after is Mrs. Bradley.

Father: A hostage?
How pointless.

SFX: Slam slam

SFX: Drag drag

Breda: Nrrrgh...Why is a lunkhead like me doing this part?
SFX: Drag drag
Fuery: You look like you can handle the labor better.

SFX: Step

Page 16:
SFX: Slip

Hawkeye: I apologize for this had to happen at such a late hour, ma'am.
Mrs. B: Lieutenant Hawkeye?!
Why are you doing this?!

Mustang: You'll have to forgive our sudden intrusion.
Would you mind coming with us?

Taking a useless hostage to deliberately appear to be a traitor?

Father: You humans are hopeless beyond belief.

Lin: Gee,

SFX: THOCK

gluttony: How...
How come you guys know where I am even though it's dark?

Ranfan: Xing's ruler can manpulate the Dragon Waves to move Heaven and Earth themselves...
The royal family and their bodyguards can read the ebb and flow of "Ki" as if it were a visible object.

And we operate just as well in the dark!

Ed: UWAAAAAAAAA!

Old man Huu!
Huu: Been a while, boy.

Page 21:
Ed: How'd you find us?!
Huu: I was hiding out in Central picking up information...
when I sensed several huge sources of "Ki" and tracked them to this spot.

And now that I'm here, things are even crazier.
There's two massive Ki right near us.
Ed: That must be Greed and Gluttony.
SFX: Whap whap whap whap

Huu: Greed...
The scum who absorbed our Master...

There's one other Ki out in the forest, even greater than them...
Darius: One of our group is fighting a Homunculus named Pride.

Huu: ...And in the village is a presence far beyond ALL of them...
What...what could be...

Darius: Must be your dad, Ed.
Ed: Ah, HIM!

Huu: I-is your father not human?!
Ed: He's not a factor here, don't worry.
We need to take care of the Homunculii first.

Page 22:
Huu: Fear not.
Let Ran Fan handle Gluttony.
Ed: So she IS the one fighting him!
Small text: I can't see anything.

Ed: So she got automail, then?
Huu: Yes.
Ed: Man, she's something...
SFX: WHAM

Ed: Whoa, wait a sec!
She finished her rehab in SIX MONTHS?!
You can't just jump back into battle after only-

Ed: WATCH IT!
Yep, it's Ran Fan!
That chick's the only person I know who uses-

Hey, Huu! What other kinda bombs do you have?
Huu: Lots.
Tear gas, flashbangs, flares...

Ed: The power's coming back on in the slums...
SFX: Shine

Ed: Pride's shadows will be back soon.
People: (can't read)
Darius: Heinkel's in big trouble!

Page 24:
Ed: I'll take care of Lion King.
Gimme your hand, pops.
Huu: Mm?

Ed: I told you that Pride was out in the forest.
Take me to him.
Huu: Roger!

Darius: Stay alert, Ed!

What's your problem?

So he's the Xingese Prince whom Wrath spoke of...the one who can sense Homunculii.

Curse you, Greed...
taking advantage of your host's skills...

Gluttony.
How many times have you died?

Gluttony: A lot.
I lost count.

Contains no dates for the new anime. 9/30 is when they start taking pre-orders for the box set, and 1/28/2009 is when it releases. The yellow box with 4/4/2009 is too small and yellow/red for me to read, but it's something about some event.

Since HisshouBuraiKen is starting the translation, I will finish up the summary (it's on my post on page 1 of this thread) .. ^^

Holy hell, this chapter's full of fighting! Edward, Ran Fan, and Fo all know how to kick some [All hail lord Xenu]. xD

And Edward's 'bring it' panel was hilarious. xD

Thanks for the RAW, mirrors and translations Ropespinner, Bluwim, Tombow, and HisshouBuraiKen!!!
RavenHair
That was one awesome chapter. I kinda feel bad for Gluttony at the end lol. But one question that I'm confused about. Is Armstorng working for Father? At first I thought he was taking all of those guys hostage but she kind of gave away Roy's plan so what is going on with that?
HisshouBuraiKen
Yeah, after seeing the first page and knowing the pic of the jacket that's been floating around wasn't a shop, I couldn't resist XD

@Animeoldtimer - LOL
When there's a better quality scan of this chapter, I anticipate many hilarious things will be done with that shot of Sloth.

So, with Madame Christmas being outed as Chris Mustang, and them revealing her as his foster mom, that must mean Roy isn't a Mustang by birth...so technically he could be related to someone else in the cast! ohmy.gif
Sensenic
Thanks ropespinner and bluwim!

Another friggin' awesome chapter!!

Unexpected madame Christmas role! Wouldn't ever seen it coming!

And Ed once again showing off his genius, by using another enemy's technique to his favor. When I saw him stopping all of Pride's attacks I went nuts "OMG! He's using Greed's shield!!!", and indeed....

Pride got served...

But, but.... Gluttony... ;_;
You'll be missed. ( u_u)

(I'd love if he overcame Pride's soul and took control of the body, lololol. But giving how weak willed he was, this ain't happening. sad.gif )

Also we were convienently remembered that Mustang and his men are soldiers, and ready to kill ò_ó unlike so pacifist Ed.

God, this finale is being incredible...

HisshouBuraiKen Thanks for the translation!

Wow this was a good chapter. I only wish we could have seen Ling and Ranfan actually talk. I guess we'll have to wait till next month.

ThankyousososoSOOOOO MUCH! <------To all who translated.

I actually shrieked so loud that my brother says that's what caused our phone to die. This chapter is as awesome as the others, and I can't wait to actually see the chapter! *Goes off to look*
Anzu Mazaki
I want so much to see what happens when there is finally a full family reunion for Ed, Al, and Hohenheim. smile.gif And also what Armstrong and Mustang are up to with Bradley's wife. I actually think its kinda funny. BTW doesn't anyone else find it odd that NO ONE has ever questioned Selim's extreme longetivity? Or did Father somehow silence all those who knew?

Too bad he didn't get much screen time.
And poor Gluttony, having to "die" twice. @_@;

If Pride isn't the "final boss" (kinda obvious he isn't...), I wonder what Father can do... It's not like you can stop everything just by stopping Pride. @_@ Darn fake shouta .-.

Ranfun is simply too cool for words 8D

Where is Wrath, I wonder? I wonder if holding his wife in hostage would really help the situation? Although it's true that it's the only "human decision" Wrath has made on his own, but still... I wonder if he's really appear at where his wife is at and save her?

I also wonder how is Envy and Mei doing...

Ed is 16 for sure now XD since 6 months definitely passed by since Ranfun's disappearance...

*waiting for next chapter*

Don't count too much on Father. His apparition in this chapter seems to show that even if he is the man behind the curtain, he doesn't really understand everything that's going on, he has been way too much out of the action (and really, he didn't expect all of this... I think he is a bit lost by everything that's going on). In the end, Wrath is really the most impressive and dangerous of all the foes there is! Living among the humans, he understands them, knows them, doesn't underestimate them. He is less powerful than Pride, but his experience and knowledge of human nature is really the best!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! I'm so happy, and too excited, to type. I'll be back later. Maybe after the information and the images and the - smile.gif)))))))))))))))~~~
Sweetdeath04
True, marrying his wife was Bradley's only human decision. Thing's could get interesting when he turns up.

Poor, poor Gluttony! Still crying for Lust... so sweet!

Armstrong... I think, is in a sticky situation.

And yes, I too want to see what is happening with Mei and Envy! Should be good! This is shaping up to be an awesome finale!

True, marrying his wife was Bradley's only human decision. Thing's could get interesting when he turns up.


Yeah, think of it : the guy is an incarnation of "Wrath", yet we have never seen him really angry laugh.gif And even without that, he has always kicked butt. Now that his wife is in danger, he could get really angry, and that is a sight that I can't wait to see. I'm sure he will rebel against Father's authority for her.

With all the "good" higher up that start shooting in each other leg like that, I'm starting to believe that the group that will save the country will be Scar's posse of Ishbalan soldiers mellow.gif That would be unsuspected laugh.gif

I just thought of something, and it was probably mentioned in the manga ages ago for all of this now to make sense but I can't remember.

Obvioiusly Bradley's/Wrath's wife is not Selim/Pride's mother. So was it set up to be that Bradley has Selim before and his wife is more or less like a step mom? Now that I'm thinking about it more, I thought I read that Selim was adopted. Can someone refresh my memory on this? This kid obviously never went to school either, how in the world can he live 50 years without any not noticing that he doesn't grow? This is certainly interesting.

And so as far as we know, his wife is indeed human correct? It would be a interesting twist if she wasn't. And if she is human, eventually she would start to question why her son never looks over the age of 10 wouldn't you think? lol

Actually, I also wonder if they are kidnapping Bradley's wife or just getting her safe? Maybe they want Father to think he's doing that for distraction, but in truth are doing something else entirely.

Yes he was adopted. I think it's possible she's a prisoner in her own home. Maybe Pride has her under his "spell." She must know something.

The powerful 'hostage' plot has seemingly ended with a whimper. One expected more of this situation, not Bradley handing over Winry to the Brothers Elric or leaving Riza behind in Central. Things went too easy. Either this is part of Bradley's plan (he's actually helping the good guys!) or he's been making some very stupid judgments lately (right up there with giving your son access to your weak spot, or removing your loyal Homunculus' brain, thus severing all loyalty).

Yeah, pretty much his only Wrath-y moment was when his hands were trembling at Hughes' funeral.... As for Mrs. Bradley, perhaps they're merely trying to keep her safe since Riza now knows she's not involved from what Bradley said about her...???

I can't wait to hear Ling and Lan Fan really talking (if Greed lets them). Thank goodness Al's all right...and Pride eating Gluttony is certainly unexpected. I'd love to tell one of my FMA-watch-anime-only friends that "Selim Bradley ate Gluttony" and see what they say... tongue.gif

Roy, how I missed thee...it's about time you got some screentime. Thank God that he was adopted and not really related to Madame Christmas. I would NOT want him to look like her when he's older wink.gif Aww, I'm so mean...

WHERE IS MEI???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need news on three characters that are "lost in the schuffle" right now : May, Scar and Kimblee. Those three are "related" too...

Don't forget lil old Envy sad.gif

Thank you Animeoldtimer for clearing that up for me. It makes more sense now. I do feel bad for her if she is not part of their group.

And I agree, it's been far to long since we have seen Mei and Envy. I would like to find out what is going on with them. But I am glad we got to see Mustang and the gang again. I missed them.
