Confirmed Spoilers posted by Dofla at mangahelpers :



Ps : I'm Dofla, and i'm very confident about them


ETA: The following is the quick translation of the above by Tombow, with some paraphrased contents.

Oh good Lord! *eagerly awaits translation* ^^ Thanks for that!

Yay, early spoilers! Can't wait for translation! ^^

im going to resist temptation to read those spoilers...for now XD question to someone who has though, how does the chapter sound this month? do the spoilers hint to any plot twists or anythin?

The best I could do was use Babel Fish and it didn't make much sense to me. What did make sense didn't reveal much as far as I can decipher.

^ I've been extremely busy today. Sorry... Give me 5 more minutes, and I will get to translating that one. ^^

-----------------------

ETA: I'm going to park here and post my translation of the chapter... ^^

Ok, I'm going to fill our the rest later. ^^ I here the quick scan is already up... Go and read... It's a very good chapter. ^^

No apology needed. Do what you need to do first.

^ Thanks. ^^

@Edwy03 - Thank you for that SPOILER!!

The following is the quick translation of the spoiler preview posted by Edwy03 above: Translation by me, with some paraphrased contents.

There is a fight between Wrath vs Greed.
Wrath uses his special ability to see, and instantly judges the safe escape route. He tells that that is also how he has escaped from the explosion of the train he was on.
But, he seems to be feeling his age. It seems he is past his peak.
Still he overwhelms Greed who is fighting together with Ling, and when *the ones with white cloth try to help them also, he sends them to a pool of blood also. (Note: I can't tell who this "White clothed one" is, nor whether that's single or plural... Ranfan and Fu, maybe? )
To make matters worse, because this has been taking time, the Central soldiers who were knocked unconscious are waking up also, and the situation seems to be getting worse for Greed and the gang.

Meanwhile, Armstrong and the gang interrogate the Central brass officer. He tries to explain away his actions with excuses, but eventually spits out that the common citizens of the Amestris should be sacrificed to become the stepping stone for these brass officers to turn immortal, and he gets whacked by toilet sandals (Izumi) and boots (Olivier.) Eventually, he admits his wrong, and resigns from his commission.

Meanwhile, Ed and the gang have lost May, and themselves are also getting lost.....

==============

That's all from what's posted by Edwy03. As usual, this is the translation of the someone's summary of the chapter, so this may differ in some minor details from the actual chapter content (it's known to happen ^^) but I think we are getting a fairly good idea of some of the chapter contents.. ^^
Thanks again, Edwy03 for the SPOILER preview!!

FINALLY!! ~

Wooow... I cant wait to read it!

Yay!!! \o/
Can't wait to read it!!! XD

Thanks for the spoilers, Edwy03, and thanks Tombow for translating! Is it just me, or did spoilers come earlier this month? It's only the 8th today

Wow, so early! Thank you both Edwy03 and Tombow for the spoilers and for translating them. And now we have to wait... thanks heavens for Brotherhood so we have something in between chapters Let's hope Falman won't be harmed I felt so sorry for him.

When I typed it into a crappy translater (before Tombow gave us a real translation) I had no idea who 'toilet shoes' was LOL

This seems real promising! Hopefully this means we'll at least see Roy and Riza. I'm concerned about his condition after the emotional rollercoaster, and Riza's physical condition.

Poor Mei...I hope she's all right.

Thanks for the spoilers and translation!

My thoughts exactly, as this is one of the major things I'm worried about. Thanks for the translation! It gave me hope

\o/ Thank you all for spoilers and translations!!

Poor Mei! ;^; I hope she's okay...

LOL at Izumi/Olivier slapping the military guy with their shoes. I love them as a team. So much win.

I'm excited to see Ed and co. again!!

Thanks Edwy03 and Tombow!

Man, i'm excited! =D but I"ve got to resist the temptation to read the spoilers XD

Thanks a bunch!

*cannot wait*

Time to start waiting in anticipation again. For the new chapter and the new episode. This is going to be a FMA obsessed week.

Thank you Edwy03 for finding the spoilers and Tombow for translating.

Ah, so much to look forward to! I was kicking myself about Wrath's eye helping him escape the train wreck, and now helping him to navigate the fight with Greed. Totally should've seen the first bit coming, but I wasn't paying enough attention.

And, like a few others, I'm excited at the possibility of certain people being in this chapter. Izumi I can see throwing shoes, but Olivier? This is gonna be good! The thought of seeing Roy and Riza again is great, as well, but they're getting lost? This does not bode well...

Thank you, Edwy03 and Tombow!

Thanks again Edwy03 for the spoiler and Tombow for the translation!
The spoilers came out early, so I hope that means the RAW is close, too! Can't wait for it!

And Roy and Riza will be in the chapter! I'm really happy now.

Squee! I'm so excited! The spoilers sound awesome!

We get Ep. 19, Ch. 98, Prince of Dawn and the comic preview (which will be in the new Shounen Gangan along with Ch.98) all in the same week!

I hope we get preview pics and the raw soon!

LOL, toilet shoes and boots. Also, Riza and Roy! Yay!

Thanks a lot for the spoilers ^^ Waiting for pictures!

Wow, I'm happy, the last anime chapter was amazing, I hope the manga chapter would be the same!

Roy and Riza *----* Oh boy, I want this chapter!

Ehm... guys... we have allready the 10th today...
So we allready should have tons of preview pictures and all this...
I know that it usually comes out at 12th.
Last month it was here pretty fast =D So what about this time?

Yes, that was my question. I'm aware the chapters actually come out on the 12th in Japan, but we have gotten them on the 10th for quite a while now (9th last month). So, even if it's coming out "on time" this month, shouldn't there at least be a crapton of preview pics from the Chinese scanners? Have I just become too spoiled?

I'm actually happy that it's taking time, generally that means that Roy is in it LOL

Has anyone had a look at the Chinese forums per chance?

I checked Hagarenbbs and there doesn't seem to be any new stuff there..

I hope Roy is in it. After the awesomeness that was ep 19 I just have to have more Roy, lol.

Check out the preview pages from here:

http://community.livejournal.com/hagaren_manga/456405.html

Looks like the title is "Endless Greed".

Thank you Amestris! Wow, I want that title spread in HQ. O.o

Also, I am so waiting for a new artbook. It's been years! xD

They are great.
Yay for the homunculi! Die faster, please >D
And the cover... someone should make a wallpaper out of this.
Now I am waiting for the actual chapter...

I actually want a giant-sized billboard sized posted from that... LOL

I hope someone will upload the raw soon. This waiting is so hard, I wanna read the chapter now!

Aha, yes, in case some peaple forgot, allow me to remind again that the raw was scheduled to come out 2 days earlier than normal scheduled date of 12th for last month. This happens time to time, and so the raw come out on 10th of July in Japan for the last chapter, and hence we had the preview pages and the raw pages earlier than usual last month. But, for this month the raw is scheduled to come out on the normal scheduled date, 12th of this month, and the preview chapter title page showed up already, so, hopefully, we'll get to see more of this chapter sometime soon.


And, speaking of...
@amestris_star - Thank you for the link fo LJ to see the chapter 98 title page!!

I love the title page!! And, according to that, the title of Chapter 98 is "Bottomless Avarice"?? (or something like that. ^^) And the caption for the pics (with the 7 Homunculi) is: "Seven Sins, those who were born from the depth of dark abyss."
Wow. Can't wait to see this chapter!!

You're welcome ^^

I read someone's translation of that as "Endless Greed", and I think it could make quite some sense. I think it was in that same link ^^

^ @amestris_star - Yes, I agree... "endless" is indeed a good way to describe greed. ^^ I like that, and I would probably change to something like that for the actual chapter title (once I read the whole chapter) ... But, for now, I'm kind of enjoying the "connection" between the caption for the pic.. "..born from the depth of dark abyss" and the chapter title "bottomless Avarice(Greed)" as that was probably the intention of the original also for this chapter title page, as the original Japanese word used for "bottomless" part of the title is kind of word to be usually associated and used to describe seemingly bottomless nature of the depth of some specific topographic object such as abyss, deep swamp/pool, cliff, stuff like that, and indeed the caption and the chapter title go very nicely in the original raw chapter title page, and it sounds even poetic, IMO. ^^ It's too bad that this is one of those nice stuff that would get lost once translated into English and other languages.

Thanks amestris_star! I hope the chapter comes out soon.



I've been praying for another artbook for a while now, there's so much new epic art! And I'm also hoping Bones will do another artbook for Brotherhood

I love that title page. ORIGINAL GREED! My favorite FMA character!

Any chance of Ling coughing up the original Greed? Or, alternatively, wearing cool shades and spending time with whores in a rundown bar?

Guys, someone needs to check the Chinese forums coz I think something new has just been posted

Yeah, it was I'm uploading it right away, so be patient!
