If only I could read Japanese.

Thanks, Paca!

Freaky cool zombie action! Very nice color spread!

Yay I too wish that I could read Japanese. But the colored pictures were very pretty.
Tombow
Thanks a million Paca!! happy.gif

I have to go now and can't spare time to translate right now, but here is the summary...

-----

Summary of chapter 90:


Ed and the gang head for raiding the Central underground and fight Father. Marcoh and Yoki stay behind. Ed tells Al that he is heading for the Central underground.

Olivier easily kills the Central military officer who was pointing gun at her with her sword work, then shoots and kills other brass officers in the Central HQ.

Danny catches up with Alex Armstrong but it seems Danny is not the part of Roy and the gang. He heard that Mustang and the gang have kidnapped Mrs. Bradley, and he is mad at Mustang, calling him a devil.

Alex hears the news that his sister, Olivier killed officers in HQ.

Mr. Fuu walks around the town and gather info on how things are going. He senses that in the underground, that strange "chi" is spreading around.

Selim keeps tapping Al's detached helmet. Father sensing/hearing it????

Once inside the HQ compound, Hohenheim splits Ed and the gang in two. Hohenheim and Ranfan go one way, and the rest goes the other way. But, once on separated way Hohenheim let Ranfan go off to find Ling, saying "he must be a very precious person to you..." and he goes alone to search and then fight Father. Ranfan thanks him for letting her go from the ceiling. (nice scene. ^^)

Elsewhere underground of HQ, officer wakes up "artificial army soldiers" despite the protest of the scientist that they haven't finished testing the completion of the "soul attachment process."
The awakened artificial soldiers start attacking officers and scientists.

Ed and the gang open a door and run into this zombie soldiers.

Back at the dorm where Al and Selim have been trapped... Zampano realizes that Selim has been sending a Morse code on this location by tapping Al's detached helmet. Just as he yells Al to stop Selim from doing that he is attacked by Kimbley.

Kimbley destroys the dorm and frees Selim. Al is once again becomes a hostage!!

(End of chapter 90)
---------------------------

I'm sure HisshouBuraiKen will bring his chapter 90 translation here shortly, and I'll be back later and do my part. ^^

Also... anyone who gets the "info" on the new FMA2 anime that's supposedly in this month's Gangan mag, please post in FMA2 forum!!! Thanks!!! biggrin.gif
Sannom
I just hope that after all this hard work to put Pride into custody, he didn't get out just by using morse and tapping a helmet. Come on, a powerful, gifted and intelligent alchemist, who can encrypt and decrypt very complex codes, and he doesn't even know morse???
paca
@Tombow: wink.gif thanks a lot for the summary

GREAT CHAPTER *_*

Poor Danny, is logicall that he hates Roy...(( doesn't he still thinks that Roy is the one who killed Maria Ross???))

Indeed he does. ^^
Danny (on Roy, in this chapter) : "Curse him!!! First he kills innocent Liutenant Ross, and now he takes Mrs. Bradley as a hostage!!!"
Edamame
Thank you so very much for the link Paca and the summary Tombow. I can already tell that I am going to thoroughly enjoy this chapter just by scanning the pages. The "zombies" scare the living hell out of me and remind me of the crazed "super humans" in the short short I Am Legend. I really wonder who is going to be the one to finally do Kimbley in after all the commotion he has caused. Poor Mr. Fuu....
The vast amount of colour pages made me squeal with delight, especially the artwork of Edward and Alphonse for the second series. happy.gif Hohenheim's brief exchange with Ran Fan made me happy inside.

*Oooh, I want the cool stationery set! I also can not wait until December 12th to hear more news about the news series.
Alchemical
Thanks a billion, Paca and Tombow!

I'm pretty speechless about this chapter. Damn. o.o

Title: Chapter 90 - The Immortal Army

Page 3:
Ranfan: There's smoke coming from the city.
Ed: Huh?

Ranfan: And I believe I hear an emergency alarm...
Darius: Same here.

Ed: The Colonel must've made his move...
Zanpano: He's making a big show of it, too.
Darius: What do we do?

Ed: We should use the confusion to sneak into that underground lair and destroy it.
Hohenheim: Agreed.
I have a counter ready if he activates the nationwide transmutation circle, but it would be ideal if we prevent it from happening in the first place.

Page 4:
Hohenheim: He's bigger now, but he's still the tiny creature from the flask.
If we break his container, he dies.

...And...
Free the souls of the Xerxesians bound within him.

Zanpano: But how do we get underground?

Scar: I know of one entrance.
Jelso: Really?

Scar: I went there once before with May. It led to that so-called "Father's" area.
It was guarded by countless bloodthirsty chimera, but all of us together will be enough to get past them.
Darius: Okay then.
Let's roll!

Page 5:
Darius: You stand guard here, Heinkel.
You should too, Dr. Marcoh.
Heinkel: Aye.
Marcoh: We'll stay here until Mr. Huu comes back.

Jelso: Yoki, you...should, uh...stand guard, too.

Ed: Al.
Al: Yes, brother?

Ed: We're gonna go and mop the floor with that bearded freak.

Al: ...Be careful.

Ed: Yep.

Al: Bye.

Flunky: Call of those Briggs dogs immediately,
Major General Armstrong!!

Do you really think you'll get away with this?!
Armstrong: I would ask you the same question.

You've heard what that "Father" character said,
about what's we're sacrificing, and for what purpose?

Flunky: Oh, we've heard.

We, the chosen, will ascend to even greater heights as Amestris changes the world!
There is always pain associated with change!
Why can't you comprehend that?!

Armstrong: You're all too far gone.
Flunky: Wha-

Pages 8/9:
Armstrong: Men like you, sitting comfortably in your "green zones," watching the battlefield from afar...

Page 10:
Armstrong: Making pain and suffering out to be some sort of noble gift!
Flunky: Ouch ouch OUCH!

Old Falman: Have you become an insurgent too, Armstrong?!

Armstrong: I wonder?
Depending on how this all ends, I could end up a HERO.

But not a soft, useless one like the hero of Ishval!
Old Falman: Wait-

GuardS: What's going-

Denny: Major Armstrong!
Armstrong: Sgt. Brosh!

Aren't you on leave today?
Denny: I saw the smoke...
What's going on?

Armstrong: ...Colonel Mustang and his former subordinates have taken the Fuhrer's wife hostage and are at large in the city.
Denny: Huuuunh?! Why?!

That son of a b*tch!
First he kills Lt. Ross, and now the Fuhrer's wife!
He's the devil incarnate!

Page 13:
Armstrong: They modified a stolen ice cream truck into their armory and are driving it to safety.
And elsewhere, a rogue group appearing to be made up of northern soldiers has attacked Central's forces.

Guy: Major!

Major General Armstrong has been in the Central Command room-

Armstrong: My sister?!

Huu: Hmmm...things are moving along faster than expected.
I need to find the prince....
What is Greed's aim?

Page 14:
Huu: Trying to track his presence isn't working, it's being masked by a tremendous "ki" coming from underground...

The whole place is an army checkpoint now, there's no way to get close.

Jelso: It'd be a bit much to try and force our way through all that.

Ed: I know! I know where there's another entrance!

The Third Research Facility!
Al and the Colonel snuck in here once, it's where they fought Lust!

Page 18:
Ed: There're three guards at the entrance.

Darius: Guess we gotta clobber 'em.
Ed: Nah, this is one of those times where you pull rank on 'em.

HELP ME, SOLDIERS!
I'm the State Alchemist Edward Elric!

Guard: A-huh?
A State Alchemist?!
Ed: Scar's attacking me! Please, save me!

AH!

That's the guy from our last bulletin!
Don't move!

I know it was around here...

Aha!

Ed: Should we split up?
Hohenheim: Yes.

I'll go this way...
you and Scar go that way.
Ed: WHAAAAT?!

Why do I have to go with HIM?!
Hohenheim: We have to distribute the alchemists, don't we?

Besides, "his" alchemy sealing move left you completely helpless, Scar's a valuable ally!
Ed: RRGH-
Jelso: Okay, they're a team, then.

Hohenheim: I'm a special case, so I'll be fine on my own...
Me, plus...

Page 21:
Hohenheim: An extra bodyguard should be sufficient.
I'll be counting on the young lady from Xing here.

So if any of us find him, we bring him down with everything we have.
Jelso: Aye aye.

Zanpano: You sure you'll be fine with just the two of you?
Hohenheim: Yes, yes, don't worry.

And old fart like would much prefer to alone with the young girl.

Jelso: Dirty old man...
Darius: C'mon, guys.

Page 22:
Hohenheim: You need to search for that Xingese prince, correct?

You can go.

@Tombow - well thanks alot you guys for doing this. yayayaya laugh.gif

@HisshouBuraiKen - you also gets a big thanks for the translation. laugh.gif
FMAobsessed
Thanks to everyone that worked on the translations. Can't wait until the chapter is out.
Gukumatz
Thank you (for the link, the summary, the translation)!

I like how happy Hohenheim looks. It's a sort of melancholy-tinged happiness, but it's still happiness. Before I read the translation, I had the impression that he was letting Ran Fan go and he was going off to be self-sacrificial in a soon-to-come epic battle. (Hoho vs flask, the ultimate fight.)

...After reading the translation, I still get that impression about Hohenheim.

P.S. Page 35 was skipped in the translation. I'm wondering what Heinkel was saying to Al before realizing that Pride was using morse code. Thank you. (Poor Heinkel!)
crazyanimefan
Whoa, thanks for the link, summary, and translation! I am loving this chapter. Those zombies are really creepy. And oh no at the end! Agh, the suspense.
Sword Alchemist
Awesome.

I was hoping for a reunion for Denny and Maria though. I am probably the biggest fan of them as a couple.
mazam
Arakawa owns my soul.
AA battery
I hope Aru will climb up to second place for once... =w=

;_; I know it's not Al's fault, but I feel sad that Al failed once again... *sigh*
DARN YOU PRIDE.

The part with Ed tricking the guards is awesome xD
Sannom
I hope that Arakawa will correct herself in the tomes though, what's with Ed saying that he, Al and Mustang sneaked in the 3rd laboratory and fought Lust here??? Man, he was hundred kilometers away from the action at that time!
Animeoldtimer
Thanks for the translation. It made me realize that Al is not alone with the two maniacs. In the beginning Dr. Marco agreed to sat back with Al and Pride as well. Maybe he'll spring into action. That would be interesting.

I think it was a mistake from the translator and not by Arakawa Sensei.

You see from the original bubble "以前 (Before) アル と 大佐 (ARU and The Colonel) が 侵入 (Intruded Into *as we know the 3rd laboratory*) して ラスト と 闘ってる (And Fought With Lust)"

Edo never said anything about himself being at the scene or anything.

Hope this can clear things up for you wink.gif
Sannom
Thanks for clearing up wink.gif Actually I thought that maybe it was a error from the translator, but I knew that if I complained, I would have an answer anyway.

Don't forget about Yoki laugh.gif Personnaly, I think Marcoh will be captured easily, it's a convenience for the plot : Al and Marcoh, two people needed by the Homonculus, are gathered in one place and now have to face two of the top three foes (consisting of Pride, Wrath and Kimblee). They will be captured, and Yoki will most likely avoid capture and warn the others. I can even see Yoki becoming the first man Kimblee forgot about, emphasizing Yoki's "loserness" yet giving him the opportunity to help the others.

Nope it was nothing laugh.gif

From your predictions I guess is Yoki will manage a miracle escape or might not LOL when Kimblee captures Aru, Marco and that lion kimera old man (hope he doesnt die, poor him T_T)

But Yoki is a 2 headed snake, to my point of view he will take sides with whom ever he has benefits from.
Relying on him telling the others that Aru-tachi is captured, therefore lol I have no idea if this will happen or not.

So far are the Human pillars Edo, Aru, Hohenhiem, Izumi Sensei and Mustang Taisa?
Do they need Dr. Marco for making more red stones or to Activate the Alchemy Circle for Father's Plan?

I wanna know more about what Mustang-tachi is up to >.< *Screams in a fangirl tone!!*

Can't wait till next month wub.gif
acaray
First of all : thanks to everyone for everything (link, scanlation...) !! And second : OMG ^^ !!!
Poor Al got trick again, he couldn't stay with pride till the end, but still !! he's gonna be an easy hostage now...

Ho and danny looks nice, I'm sure we'll see a soon reunion with maria, and then love will strike them both ^^ lol

Ed's attack is fatal XD, I wonder if Hohenheim thought "this can't be my son" ^^...and I can't wait for more !!!
HisshouBuraiKen
Munou - You are right, that was my mistake. It's been so long since I read that part I forgot Ed wasn't part of that whole battle and my mind injected him into the mix ;P
Ropespinner
...It irks me that Pride was sending the Morse code for a long time (wasn't he doing that in the previous chapters too?!) and NONE of the characters noticed anything! I mean, they're a bunch of military people and/or secret code geeks, and yet it took forever before it dawned to even one of them.
qaghou
Yay !! If this is the Promise day that's mean EDWIN WILL BE BACK TOGHETER SOON !! dance3.gif yes2.gif
So happy !! This chapter seems like a really big suspence who will decide the end of FMA. Hope that the good will win same if this looks like a kind of clishey. I can't wait to see Ed and Winry togheter again... I pray that Arakawa will let Edward lives and Al too. Nobody has the right to kill them ! laugh.gif I'm very serious ! dry.gif
laugh.gif
Sannom
@ Robespinner : I don't think it was morse before Father found Pride. There might also be the explanation that Heinkel has the best ears out of all the chimeras, who knows? Or perhaps that Pride started to hit the helmet harder after he was sure that everyone was gone, because there didn't seem to be any sound coming out from the dome when Ed talked to Al.

Thank you everyone who did work! (Translators Scans ect.) because of you I can enjoy FMA without having to wait forever to buy it. This chapter was good! i loved the RanFan and Hoho scene. It was kinda like in the movies when the Dad tells his daughter to go chase after the one you love. Classic! The Zombies were really creepy and scary and as usual Ed is hilarious.

I'm.. This chapter made me speechless. I just keept saying OMG through out the whole chapter.
I just have to know what is going to happenend next!
Kryanka
Wow, that zombies... just wow. I still think the souls of Xerxenians will eventually join the good side. They recognize Hohenheim or something. They deserve to be the ones to kill (chew to death) Father, poor things.

GreedLing will have to settle things up with Ran Fan, which should be easy, as he is awesome. Similarly, King Bradley will have a word with his wife, accompanied by Roy if something was to go wrong. Mei will reappear with Envy, because she's dumb. Selim will take up Al's armor again, and bring him to Father to be used during the eclipse.

I wonder what plan Hohenheim has to stop the transmutation. The only thing that comes to my mind is killing the human sacrifices... and he himself can't be killed. But then, he's a master alchemist and an old friend of Father.

And the last theory - Riza is going to be killed at some point of the story. Homonculi still need one human sacrifice alchemist, and Kimblee is not an option. So I think they'll kill someone Roy loves so he can try and revive her. And she's got that symbol tottoed on her back, so she won't really die, or something biggrin.gif
jacksparrow589
First off, thank you to all who took the time to post and translate and what have you. You all are wonderful!

Second... this chapter makes me just love Hohenheim! He's always been a pretty likable character, and his little interaction with RanFan this chapter was nice. He's also pretty intelligent (duh...) and he kind of has a father/son moment with Ed. "You're horrible." I laughed.

The zombies freaked me out. I didn't really have a clear idea of what they were doing until they chomped on the military guy. I can see Hohenheim stopping Father somehow and watching all of them just kinda fall over.

Now I'm all hyped up for 91, and it won't be out for a month! sad.gif
edxwinryfan
crybaby.gif Once again there was no EdxWin in this chapter!! I was kinda expecting Winry to at least show up in this chapter since we haven't seen her since chapter 84 (i think) sad.gif Id rather see her then Armstrong's STUPID sister dry.gif sleep.gif she's boring.
Well at least i got a good laugh when Ed jumped out and said Help me soldiers Im the state alchemist Edward Elric, Scar's attacking me,please save me! his facial expressions were hilarious. I really hope Winry shows up in the next chapter,and i don't mean her coming to Ed and Al,i just want to see her!
RoyxRizaFan
Thanks to everyone who provided all that stuff, as usual. I love you people LOL

Great chapter. Poor Denny has no idea what's going on...poor Al is kidnapped...AGAIN...

Olivia was AMAZING AND A HALF though XD The zombies were pretty great.

Hoho is his usual Hoho self AKA epic win.

Lan Fan needs to take off her mask...I wonder where GreeLing is, though...?

Zampano is dead now, I suppose...

BUT WHERE IS MEI? ENVY? I will ask this every month until I get an answer!
FMAobsessed
I laughed at the scene where Ed ran to the guards and claimed that Scar was after him, and Scar just gives a look like WTH.

Problem is, they're not the souls of Xerxes' people. They're the souls of the people that were used int the 5th laboratory to create the Philosopher Stone.

QUOTE

If Bradley has a word with his wife, I don't think Mustang would be in the vicinity. He would most likely be tied up and unable to move. Wrath is that powerful.

Mei will reappear with Envy, because she's dumb. Selim will take up Al's armor again, and bring him to Father to be used during the eclipse.

QUOTE

He must have created the famous counter-circle that uses Elixirology and that Scar's crew found out.

Marcoh is an option too for the sacrifice, don't forget it. Unless they can't find Izumi, they can still use Marcoh instead of Mustang.

I've checked it and you're right - the soldier says they made the philosopher's stones. Still, I think he could mean all the stones made by the dark side. The zombies don't behave like the "fresh" stones, which were made of criminals or soldiers mainly and turned into chimeras. They remind me of Envy's real body and all the kids screaming for their parents, not remembering how it is to have a body. Also, we're shown Father connected to pipes running through the city and that this force is stronger now and moving. So I guess it could be moving to the zombies.

And anyway, if something cries in a mutated body and screams for daddy, I'd think it's going to end being good (or at least useful).

Oh yeah, that could be it. Maybe that's why he was travelling for so long instead of taking care of his kids.

Marcoh is an option too for the sacrifice, don't forget it. Unless they can't find Izumi, they can still use Marcoh instead of Mustang.

Marcoh is an option and we know he can't sacrifice an innocent even if it means many more deaths, so he's a pretty easy choice. But that would be boring, so I'll stick to Roy... and it feels right after so many times homunculi had to remind us that they CAN'T KILL Mustang.

Whatever Hohenheim's counter is, it must involve all those souls he spilled out of his chest about 10 chapters ago.

That would be brilliant. We haven't seen her in a long time and Kimblee isn't just Al's enemy, he's Scar's enemy, too. Yes, yes, that's an excellent idea and I hope it happens. Marcoh is around, as well, which means that Mei would have someone to explain the situation to her if she can't speak to Al directly.

Also... I want to see Selim and Mei meet. Demon child vs. hero girl. Go!

I have a question:
Someone mentioned Arakawa-sensei wrote somewhere in the newest chapter (90) there is still one arc missing until the end of the Manga. Is that true? I've never heard something about that up until now.
Have I missed something?
Sannom
She said it in the newest volume, not the newest chapter.

Man, how I dislike Mei dry.gif She appeared out of the blue, with her ten year old body, huge boobs and hair like in some sick adult fantasy. Ed and Al fight desperately to save Ling and she just dances into the scene with some super-alchemy nobody heard about before and proves to be the only thing Father can't fight. Awesome, Mary Sue was the only thing this manga lacked. She makes a teary face when she lost her bitchy panda and our uber-villain Scar goes to look for it like he was some puppy of hers! Ed used his brains and alchemy to gain respect amongst coal mine city citizens, and she just prances in and everyone adores her immediately. Oh, and when Ed and Al FINALLY catch Scar, after volumes of trying to survive meeting him? She jumps in from nowhere, shrieks "Miiiisteeer!" and just screws the whole effort up, because she likes him. And her super-powers make me want to kill her. Long-range alchemy! Immune to Father's turning alchemy off! With no need for sacrifices and philosopher's stones! Ecologically fueled! And she fights hordes of monsters like fricking gummi-Yoda in clone wars. She was in her crib when she kicked Chuck Norris' behind, repeatedly. Nobody in her country wanted to stop her from travelling the whole desert, and who can blame them? And now she luuurves Al, because she thinks he's some tall hottie prince and not starved half to death prisoner. What a sweetie, she is.

She was asked to get Envy and herself out of the country. Sounds easy? And then she got convinced by Envy that she should take him to Father. And she's soooo into it, since she doesn't like to be ignored and she knows better. So yeah, I wonder what she's going to screw/super-power-save next. I. Can't. Wait. Who needs Holy Mother when we have a kindergarten eskapee who can single-handedly destroy himeras, homunculi and Father himself?

LMAO You just made my morning! That's pretty much how I feel about Mei, but I'm trying to give her the benefit of the doubt.....it's hard. I seriously want to know what happened after she went to Central with Envy (what a baka).
