Hmmm.... I don't see it...

I HAVE however, always scene a resemblance between Izumi and Roy.

I dunno about the Roy and Marcoh comparison, but I've always thought that Roy and Izumi look rather similar. It's the eyes. They look a lot alike.

Yeah, I see the Izumi-Roy thing, but not the Marcoh-Roy.
On an ep-25 related note, when Raven marched Roy into the meeting I was totally reminded of that time in Star Wars V (The Empie Strikes Back) when they walk into that room and Darth Vader's there... yeah, that's probably just me. But it did kick off a nice Han/Leia thing just like this kicks off a nice Royai thing, so I think I'm at least partially justified in my comparison.

Wait-you just crossed the streams...

Anyways, never really thought of it that way, but now that you mentioned it, it really does feel similar to that fateful meeting in
Empire Strikes Back. Roy does have a good deal of Han's qualities, while Riza is a good fit for Leia (though maybe toss in a bit of Olivier just for the more scathing retorts

).

Oh so were talking about resemblance.... hmm...
I see the Izumi and Roy thing but the Tim Marco and Roy.. uh.... not that much. (Maybe Izumi and Tim Marco are Roy's parents...

Just kidding...

I liked the first series in general, like i said before it's a nostalgic thing for me now. It's what made me love the whole thing in the first place. I'm not going to judge a whole series on the amount of Royai lol

Seriously..I never noticed Royai in the first anime series...I came to love the couple after reading the manga, they look good together and Riza was so badass xP Brotherhood made their tandem more noticeable

I might be wrong but isn't Arakawa a Star Wars fan?

Oct 2 2009, 08:42 AM
^She is, indeed. At least, last time I checked...
Really, though, I just happened to notice the similarity of the scene, and THEN I made my Royai connection. I'm just glad I'm not the only one who gets it!
Oh, and 'cause I didn't say so earlier, hello, Reffer Lift! Nice to meet you!

OMG, I thought about that, too.... I thought I was the only person creepy enough to make such a relation! XD
I'm a Star Wars lover. XD I watched it practically every weekend when I was a kid (yeah, I was a weird kid), along with The Goonies, Labyrinth and some other 70's/80's movies... XD I had a happy, nerdy childhood XD
I was always afraid of the scene at the end of ep V, when Han gets frozen in carbonite. It was like "omg, is he dead??". lol
And I love Arakawa for making references to other stuff in her mangas, like that Newspaper from 007... Just love these authors who enjoy pop culture (like Tarantino)

Chapter 60 of Volume 15:
I "d'awwwww"-ed when I read the start of this chapter, when she said something like
"Can your dream... take the weight off my back?"
I know it has nothing to do with the pairing, but I kept on thinking about it that way... ;A;
It was too cute of a sentence for me.

Which makes me want to go and write them into the Star Wars universe, but I'm not nearly as knowledgeable in that as I'd like to be before taking on the endeavor. So, for I now they shall just play in that universe in my head.
I've got a new fic for everyone! It's kind of different from what I usually write.

My opinion: There are no good Royai Doujinshis.
If someone finds good ones, show me =D.
There are some with questionable content. But I don't like them.
Some users like Gimpy make funny comics. That's more fun than some of the doujinshis =D

pervy content (for now) and they are not perfect, But
@I am mustang (I think he/she is here too) is doing one that is awesome (they are in devianart) xD
Yeah, I agree with
@black~hayate I usually don't like the doujins and the fact that i don't know japanese isn't relevant for that. I just have a lot of intuition and usually is correct with the things they say lol. (don't bother trying to understand my crazy mind xd) And yes Gympy comics are fun, Im asking myself when we will have more

Look, the new PSP game will have a Roy & Riza cover, too. Maybe it’s a limited edition, but it looks nice.

Found it here:

I really hope Roy and Riza will be in it. I want more Royai moments! ^^

It was when Ed and Al are on a train to see the Rockbells to get their bodies repaired. Lust can be seen reading a newspaper with the headline "Britsh Naval Commander Murder". There is a similar headline in the James Bond movie You Only Live Twice XD

Found it here:
http://www.bandaigames.channel.or.jp/list/...dex.html#news03I was glancing through the site and I think that there are three variant covers (Ed & Al, Ling & RanFan, and Roy & Riza). My other guess would be that the main cover might be reversible to reveal the secondary cover. Also, either there's a specific card that you can redeem to get a theme for the psp, but I'm not too sure if it's one card per game case or if you get all three from the start.
If anyone can take a look at the site and check, that'd be awesome and much appreciated.
Either way, will probably pick it up from my local import shop once it comes out.

Okay, that cover made my entire day better. (Wasn't all that bad in the first place--might be catching a cold, though.) If it does come with the GanGan, I might follow
Kale's lead and pick one up. (Says the poor college student...) Or I could just put up the image as my background, considering my current lack of space.
Causmicfire--Just to let you know, I've been reading the fics you've been posting here, and even though they make me a touch sad, I love them to bits!
*sighs* Well, it's appearing that I might have more time than I thought I would going into college. Perhaps enough time to actually churn out some more Royai fanfic. Who needs social stimulaton, anyway?

Oct 6 2009, 10:35 PM
That cover's sexy. If you guys havent already, you should check this page out
http://www.bandaigames.channel.or.jp/list/...ttle/index.htmlIt shows everyone's special attack when put in certain pairs. I expected lots of shooting and powpow from Riza, but geez, she'll take you on with her bare hands. o_o

On a lighter note, the game looks amazing! Thanks,

I'm proud of her

Oct 7 2009, 07:58 PM
No one is talking about chapter 100? 'cause we may have huuuuge royai material in a couple of days, according to the
possible spoiler. Riza
following Roy in the gate anyone?? Surely someone here has to say something about that! I'm still shaking, and people expect me to do something call, what is it again? Sleeping? Waiting? I'm not sure it's part of my vocabulary...
Are Roy and Riza going to
have to pay something for opening the gate, or at least Roy? Riza's body could be the payment, although personnaly, for some reason I think that would suck. Ohhhh, the speculation that's going to start soon!
Causmicfire
Oct 7 2009, 08:21 PM
Technically Riza didn't open the gate, so would she have to pay? I'm guessing we won't learn of any backlash until chapter 101. Were any of those soldiers from Dr. McCreepyFace left? Roy could have grabbed one of those for a 'sacrifice'. Oh, it's no use speculating until we see the raw. Go Riza, following him though!
_Jelly
Oct 7 2009, 10:50 PM
I think the soldiers' bodies broke down much like Ed and co's did. Someone mentioned in the other thread that perhaps Roy opened the gate with a stone the doctor had given him... or maybe even...
SCAR?!
AAAAAAAA--probably not.
