Yes you're right, but the manga is totally different about Bradley... (he is not Pride but Wrath for example...)

In the manga Pride is the last homonculus created by the boss isn't it ?
He seems to be older in the anime (Greed know him in the anime not in the manga, so he must be 100 years old in the anime)

In the manga, Wrath(King Bradley) is only 60+ years old so yes, he is the youngest Homunculus.

In the anime since Greed knows Pride, it must be before Greed was sealed, hence making Pride(King Bradley) at least 130 years old (or 140, another plot hole on the age).

Wow those Amestris fellas must be real daft not to notice that their leader looks the same for 130+ years smile.gif In fact, Dante being 130+ years and not becoming the legendary old woman is also very surprising. *cough plot holes, plot holes, cough*

I severely doubt that Bradley was Fuhrer for 130 years. Now THAT would be completely and totally farfetched.

Dante, I'm not sure. I could come up with something pointlessly elaborate to cover that up, but I am far too lazy right now.

Yes of course that would be too far fetched but he had to be Fuhrer before the Ishval war because he ordered it, which means he had to be in there for some years. Now he certainly cannot rise to Fuhrer in just only a few years which means he must age naturally in that time he's with the army. But 130+ years means either he ages slowly (not likely judging from current bunch of Homunculus, and the manga's Bradley was designed to age) or he ages not one bit at all (Gluttony certainly shows no signs of aging).

And regarding Dante, if it involves us fans to create "elaborate" explanations drawing upon lots of self-created fictional elements instead of facts shown in the anime to explain that situation, then that really shows the anime crews' flaw in setting up that situation.

A bit off topic here but...

At first I thought they may have intended Wendy. Winry is pretty close as you can get to Wendy in Japanese because there is no "dee" sound in Japanese. (Or else maybe Wenji which is awful sounding). But it is Winry, because the official site says so:

Just for curiosity, I googled "Winry" and "Winly" and Winly gave up something interesting. First link:

A company that makes tools in Malaysia laugh.gif There's no doubt in my mind that they named her after them. laugh.gif

Actually there is a "dee" sound in Japanese. It is in katakana and is repesented by the "de" with a subscript "i" or ディ, as in "Dieter" which is what you will hear if you watch "Monster".

Winry/Winly is what they intentionally used. It does not need to make sense in English just like Sigu (Izumi's husband's official English name).

blink.gif Well, I guess that shows how good my japanese is. tongue.gif

Even more off topic: But isn't the "dee" or ディ sound for foreign words only? I can't think of a word in my (very) small Japanese vocabulary that has a dee sound.

But, yeah, I guess it works for Wendy.

I think Lyla is Dante guys. Think about it. If Dante could keep switching bodies, she could concievably live longer than 130 years. She's a master alchemist so maybe she figured out how to transmute her soul into others' bodies. Could that be possible?

I wonder how Al feels that he has the deaths/souls of nearly 1000 people in his body. I mean, Al is so sensitive, how can that sit well with him at all? Didn't the Elric brothers want to figure out a way of making the stone WITHOUT killing people? Its almost anti-climactic to me.

off-topic: Dieter is very retarded german name for men.

Considering that Al's soul was transfered (grafted) onto a suit of armor, how much more difficult is it to explore grafting a soul into an organic body?
