^He'd probably die from happiness. Oh wait >.<
Ahh that scene was joy; I literally squeed the whole way through. Bones totally ships Royai. And so does May Chan.
I really liked the bit where Roy is running to Riza and BURNS the failed-fuhrer-candidate out of his way, that was epic.

Oh, if only I had a man who would do that for me.
I've yet to find a subbed episode, so I'll hold off on my thoughts for now.

jacksparrow589 Thank you very much for your welcome !
I'm wondering what will become of this forum when FMA ends... But I'm optimistic - the imagination of Royai shippers will never die

For the "Elizabeth-Chan" thing, I thought that
redfirelily was saying that Roy had called Riza this way
in chapter 101 , that's why I was asking. But when Roy says that in chapter 62, isn't it just because Christmas called Riza "Elizabeth-Chan"? (I try not to see Royai moments everywhere, but it's really hard, my judgement is so biased

)
Anyway, this last Brotherhood episode was great, there was no disappointment ; the hug was even better than in the manga ! I especially love the way Roy looks at Riza before she opens her eyes ; at that moment his feelings for her are obvious (Oh no, I'm being biased again

)
And thank you all for the welcome !

Thanks everyone for the screenshots! The Royai moments in this episode were epic, I love that Roy and Riza can express so much emotion without words. Now I can't wait to watch the subbed version.
Welcome to the Royai thread,
GospelOak! It's nice to see more Royai fans here, we need lots of people in this thread so we can make a huge celebration on Royai Festival!

Well...as far as it went I always treated Roy and Riza as very strong superior/subordinate relationship.
But this episode with all these gestures, lines, VAs' work and such made me gave in.
Seriously.

Yay, we have more Royai fans! Welcome here,

Yeah, Royai is powerful, and Bones ships it too, that's why we get those awesome animated scenes!
Now I'm wondering what will happen to them in the last chapter. I expect epic Royai moments.

@Michiyo: If there are epic Royai moments (which I'm waiting for and expecting), I'll be dead.
At least today though, I didn't take the you-know-what scene that bad... I think the shock in the manga as too much so this time round I could live with it...

May 30 2010, 12:36 PM
I think I'll download the raw and make some gifs.
I remember I was quite shocked, when Roy going blind happened in the manga. I think it could be animated better, they didn't include one of the key frames. And him twitching was...too twitchy.
But Riza's weak "Taisa!" was very cute.

I think someone else pointed this out in the episode thread that after the flashback with Bradley and like a flash of his face it goes back to Riza and you see the squeeze Roy gives her on her shoulder, its like he was thinking that Bradley wanted to do something to her. I did hear Bradley say Lieutenant don't know if its about her or not.

May 30 2010, 03:03 PM
Yeah, I noticed when Roy squeezed her shoulder like that... he's so possessive.

Ahh so many cute moments in this episode! Glad I finally got to see it.
The camera movement pans down from Roy to Riza just before that moment and suggests that it's following Bradley's line of sight. Roy probably noticed that he was suddenly looking at Riza and wanted to protect her.

Sorry if someone said this already, but wouldn't it be great if the reason BONES uped our RoyAi dosage is because Arakawa told them our favorite two characters are going to end up together? Then they began making it more obvious, such as adding the Hughes grave scene and including all their moments, to lead up to that???! I can't wait to find out!
And even more so, I cant wait to watch this episode! Thank you to everyone to posted screenshots - they'll tide me over until the sub is finally released!

Oh man after 1415 pages of speculating and fermenting Royainess, I would hate it if Roy ends up with Maria Ross or something :/
This was such a cute episode, the first time in a while I actively searched for the raw before the sub was out

I'm glad I did.
jacksparrow589
May 30 2010, 03:56 PM
Thalogens--I can just see me reading an epilogue or something... "Oh, hey, look--there's Roy and... Maria Ross? Arakawa, what the HELL?!"
Arakawa: "Well, about that... I thought to myself, You know, Roy's probably had a crush on Maria Ross since he helped her escape, and Riza would be happier with someone who could help her live in relative comfort the rest of her life, so I matched her up with Alex Armstrong."
Me: *sputters*... *dies*

But seriously, the Royai in this ep was intense. I thought the hug couldn't be any better than in the manga, but I was way wrong.
jacksparrow589
May 30 2010, 05:41 PM
^Oops. Forgot about Darius. My bad.

(Hey--Roy "dates" multiple women--why can't Riza have multiple guys?)
Seriously, though, if we don't get an image of them together in the end, I will be oh-so-sad!

May 30 2010, 06:31 PM
LOL Roy and Riza getting paired to some other characters... please no XD
Roy's hand getting stabbed... it sure hurts.
I'm not sure about this, but everytime they share physical contact Riza's hair is always down. LOLOL Maybe it's a go signal for them to make their move LOLOLOL.

Makes me think we'll get more RoyAi in the final chapter.

Pffft, you're all wrong, she's going to end up with Olivier or Havoc...that's why Rebecca hasn't jumped Havoc yet and why Olivier hates Roy.

He is, actually.
He's saying that he was sure Roy would do a human transmutation if he got to see someone really important to him dying right before his eyes... XD
And, really, I don't want to think about weird parings, although I can clearly see Arakawa joking about weird couples like
jacksparrow589 joked about. XD
I can totally see an omake with her getting out of head with things like that. lol

Oh my god, that HUUUUUUUUUUG. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and I can't stop smiling. I'm kinda disappointed that they left out May's little "Don't squeeze her too hard, she's injured!" line. But oh god, sooo adorable. It's my new computer wallpaper.
Also, we'd better be getting a Royai eyecatch for 107.

Don't forget the translation

In the song it refers to the rain (an thus to sadness), but on that image it's very different. ^^
Good idea.

Fic!
Crime & Punishment - Riza may be loyal, but she doesn't always follow his orders. Short and fluffy. Set post-promised day without any spoilers aside from mention of scars.
So, the festival of awesome is just around the corner. Any suggestions for a festival name? Together Untill the End??
Do we just want to stick with one big/vaguer theme, or fo we want that plus more specific sub-themes for each day? 7th-13, or 7th-14th?
jacksparrow589
May 31 2010, 08:32 AM
"Together Until The End" sounds fine to me, and I do like the idea of a bigger, vaguer theme than separately themed days. I mean, the manga's ending, so I'm going to bet that this will be bigger than Royai days in the past and future. Let's be as inclusive as we can! I'm not picky on dates, either--whatever works better/makes life less stressful.
Awesome fic, by the way! It made me smile.

May 31 2010, 09:05 AM
Okay! So I finally got a subbed episode to watch.
I didn't cry, but I did well up a bit with what happened to Roy... tbh I wish that sequence was longer, it kind of felt like 2 seconds and it was over... I don't know, it seemed more dramatic in the manga.
The hug was cute, but I already knew that from the pictures.

I was thinking earlier about the last chapter, which is due in the next fortnight. Usually i'm all up for grabbing any spoilers I can and finding out asap what's happened in a new chapter. This time around I don't think I can do that, so I'm going to try my hardest to stay away from any spoilers and read the chapter fully when it's done. I'll probably fail at this, but it's worth a try. I want to get the full effect of the chapter as a whole, and I'll end up crying too so I just want the final chapter reading to be perfect! How is everyone else approaching it?

I haven't read spoilers since Roy lost his sight, because I was crying during the spoilers rather than the actual chapter (...well, I cried again, but I only got shocked over the Al thing during the spoilers, and I didn't have a reaction when I read it)
I'm going to, like, abandon the Internet for a week...
