I'm hoping that they do. They make such a cute couple when they quarrel at times.

I think it's a good hint.^^ That's so sweet, Edward is bound to keep his promieses because that's who he is. Also that means when he says something he'll do it, and he did say he would marry Winry... xP -fangirlish squeel-

Well we've been minus new Ed/Win for a while now, apart from the 'someone waiting for me' and such (manga 51). Not that I'm complaining, the manga is damn good no matter what. Plus they're on a pretty major storyline with no need for Winry (unless of course Ed ends up breaking his auto-mail).

Edit: Okay, the below is a text translation for chapter 55, and it has Ed/Win it it.

[spoiler]Mei: YOU'VE TRIFLED WITH A YOUNG GIRL'S PURE HEART, YOU GRAIN-OF-RICE BOY!!!
Ed: WHAT WAS THAT, YOU GRAIN-OF-RICE GIRL!!
Al: Brother, what did you do to that girl?! [Can't read this ;_; 責任とんなよ]
Ed: I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!
Al: You said such a mushy thing to Winry and suddenly this?!
Ed: Idi...! How does she come into this?!
Mei: Aww man, I'm hurt! [don't know what this says... ;__; 慰謝料詰来します?][/spoiler]

That's sweet, it shows how much Ed truly cares. (And that Al can really play the 'annoying little brother' part sometimes.xP)

And on a completly different topic, it's to bad Winry left out on alot of stuff i'm sureshe gets lonely... but it spares her alot of pain also.

Yea I definantly agree after reading that and all the other moments in the other chapters, I definantly think that Ed has feelings for Winry.

Ed screaming to everyone that there someone waiting for me/you/ling/toaster is getting kinda repetative.

i think later on in manga (assume they get away from them homonculi) Ed and Al may get into a "disagreement" over Winry

Perhaps, but I think Al will find it rather sweet as he has always teased Ed about it. You never know he might fall for little Mei (or vice versa).

Then again who knows but too much is happenening normally to make that a major storyline.

Ed x Win will be adorable, but like what many others have stressed, it would be too cliched. Sure, in the manga and anime, there has been signs displayed that there's chemistry between them, it wouldn't do Ed's fan girls justice somehow if they really got together.

In my most personal and perverse opinion, Ed goes the best with Roy.

-runs away shielding head from pots and pans-

Yes, but since when has Arakawa appeased the fangirls?

A point that cannot be stressed enough, because, well, Arakawa stresses us with her addictive storylines anyhow.

I don't see them 'getting together' in a settle down sort of way, but something will happen I'm sure of it.

In my opinion, I completely support ed and winry as a pair without fail! I mean, who could possibly care more for Ed's well-being, happiness, and life more than Winry? They're been friends since they were really puny and have always been together. Especially in the manga, Winry cares deeply about Ed and pretty much vows to make the awesomest automail with all her might, just for Ed. In turn, Ed also feels protective of Winry, as evident in that one chapter with the whole scar incident. Winry should be the most wonderfullyest girl out there for Ed than any other random person that stumbles along, with no deep understanding of Ed. And that's all I have to say about that, but I wish we knew what Ed himself thinks. XD

I wonder where this discussion is leading us... Each time this thread is revived, it's to say the same thing...but, oh well...


I think nothing can get between these two. Especially not Winry.


Yes. Since when has Arakawa appeased any EdWin or Royai or yaoi or character fangirl?


Something good or bad.
Personally, I don't think anything will happen.


His brother.

Yes, but hopefully with more evidence, as is the point of this thread.

The only reason I do think somethink will happen is because there would be no point in all this 'fallen for him' and 'someone waiting for me'. I am not suggesting it would be anything huge, far from it, but it seems worthless making the suggestions if it'll just fade into nothing.

Actually, you have a point there. Arakawa wouldn't bring something like that up and not have it affect the manga later on. We've seen her do this many times. And no one here can deny that. I'm not saying this because I'm an EdWin fan but because this is exactly what Arakawa does.

i think they are going to

[spoiler]If you see the OVA's, you know he certainly dies a very old man. In fact, he's still alive today. And he had grandchildren who look like him, his brother and Winry. Although they mention Al and call him grandad too, but I think they actually mean Uncle? Someone will have to correct me if I'm wrong[/spoiler]

Who me?Yes you!, I think Winry is as aggressive a girl as Ed could take. If there was a girl who simply would not leave him alone he would hate it...he appreciates that Winry gives him space.

Chi:

[spoiler]Actually, there's no proof that the Winry look-alike is one of his grand-children, since we don't see the kids when they enter the house and yell 'grand-father'. Actually, there's no proof that these are his grand-children at all, since, like many reffered in the OVAs thread, calling an old person 'grand-pa' in Japan is common. And if the Al and Ed look-alike are indeed his grand-children, then their mother must be some alter!Trisha.[/spoiler]

Personally, I think that Win does not give Ed much space when he's here, anime-wise, but considering the brothers' situation, that reaction is perfectly normal.

winry likes edward...
edward likes winry...
they just don't have the guts to say it to each other...
just pray for their courage to increase...
and perhaps they will form a couple...

(just me thinkin' out loud)

SinLuxuria,

[spoiler]I can see what you are saying, but surely they would have to be descended from the alternate Ed if they are not realted to this Ed, and he died.[/spoiler]

But on the other hand you may be entirely right, I wish they would just explain

I wish they would too, though I don't think we should take this OVA seriously...Ya know, Bones and their plot-holes...

Maybe the Win-look-alike is a friend of the two boys, I mean, that'd make sense. And you're certainly right about the all Edward thing, but the only theory I have is that Ed found an alter!Trisha (yes, it is incest-hinted, but I don't think Bones realized it...), and they had these kids together, since Ed looks a lot like Hoho and all...or maybe the Ed-look-alike is just Ed's grand-child and the Al one is Al's one...Argh, so confused!!...And OT XD;

i agree with you. It would be cute to see how Ed would be with a girlfriend, but he wouldn't be the same. he's really cool being alone and he's himself and that's how i like it!

I hope it happens but then again you're right

Why has the Ed/Win love gone? It must be revived!

Well actually bringing it back for other people to discuss (bash whatever). Its been a while but Winry has finally been seen in the manga.

OMG Ed said her name and she said his...its like totally love people! But on a serious note I'm not sure whether Garfiel said what he did for the 'audience' (reader) or for Winry. Hardly picked the best choice of words did he?

I personally think that they'll get together by the end of the manga. They are quite cute together, especially since Ed really hates making Winry cry, and he gets quite protective of her as the manga goes on. Many events in the manga also hint strongly that they love each other.

Unfortunatly, Edwin isn't exactly my favorite pairing. Their personalities don't exactly mesh, if you know what I mean. I would support the pairing of Ed and Al, but it's really disturbing that they're brothers, and I'm not such a big yaoi fan. If some girl had a personality like Al and was around Ed's age, I'd definitely support that.

But Edwin will have to do. It's cute enough.

Though this isn't related to the topic, my personal favorite is Royai. Roy's cocky, Riza can handle it. xD

As for Anime; It's long over, but I always knew they wouldn't make it.
I hate Anime winry.
But I'm a big Edwin Manga fan!
Twisted Fandom, I know.
But there's been several hints in the manga towards their relationship.
I'm not sure why I'm doing this, but these are my top 3 favourite manga 'moments'
(not in order);

1)When Winry says "Come here" and pulls Ed inside the hotel room, and he's blushing quite obviously. Little did he know it was pie. Mweehee.

2)When Ed and Al are talking about the disputes they used the have;
Al:
"And we used the fight over who would marry Winry."
Ed:
"WHAT?! I don't remember THAT!!"
Al:
"Yeah, I won that too, but we got dumped."
Ed:
"Oh, Really?"

-Edwin Bliss-

3) When he gets off the phone and Havoc asks;
"Was that your girlfriend?"
"SHE IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!!"
And the screwed up look on his face.


Then the wound opened.

He gets more sentimental towards her as it goes on.
Plus, Arakawa hasn't denied plans for that pairing happening! Fwee!

I'm actually kinda happy they didn't get together. It would have spoiled part of the anime for me. Plus you edxwin fans have the manga (I think he has a crush on her but nothing like true perfect love. He's got the kind of love for the girl he's know so long) I always thought Al had a thing for her in the anime. That is why I love the anime so much. I think Al and Win would make such a good couple. On the other hand Ed and Win would fight too much. Plus they act more like sibblings than anything else. I don't know i'm an edx(insertyournamehere)fan. Where you get to go wild with your imagination....Not in that way you pervs, keep it PG.

I got no life~! LOL

I agree that it's only a crush, but it may evolve.
But not too much. :3
That would be disturbing.
My mission is that they kiss. Once.
By the end of the manga.
Does anyone think that will happen?

I do not care for anime Winry, and I think they didn't mix half as well in Hagane.
No complaints on that part.
He might have found a Winry lookalike, though.
It is confusing.
Augh. Nuu.
I thought about that too much already!

Well we know Winry is in love with Ed, as in its official, and although Ed hasn't ever mentioned it I do believe he has feelings for her outside of sibling emotions. Problem is he's mostly too preoccupied with other things.

In the manga you simply can't ignore how much she might crop up in conversation. Even if its not romantically inclined she is included a lot more in peoples thoughts...especially Ed's in comparison to Al.

I agree with a lot of things people have said. For some reason, anime Winry is more annoying than the manga one.

And I do agree with Funderful (sorry if that's not what people call you). I would like to see them have an innocent kiss, but not go into too much... detail. I would like it if their children are shown at the end of the manga or something, though.

I was thinking, and although this is nowhere close to the truth and the most bogus thing ever, what if Winry became a homunculus? How much would that really affect Ed?

Actually it has been discussed before Minnie, after it was mentioned there could be a new Lust. Frankly I think it would cut him up inside, knowing she shouldn't live but he couldn't face destroying her (or someone else doing it for that matter)

When did she say she loved Ed? How is it official?

Winry doesn't strike me as a character to be turned into a homunculus.
Then again, when they do, the characters transform
(Ling- Nuu! ) . It's all rather confusing, but I really hope she doesn't.
(I don't really download the manga; I've purchased every copy,
but I already know most of the spoilers. >_>)

Speaking of which, I have to finish my homework so I can go get volume ten.
Soon.
Knowing it's out and not having it kills me a little bit inside.

Manga spoiler pages, just so we bring the 'relationship' up to date 'officialy'.

Winry Realises

Ed's Caught out

Ah, sorry, sorry. I didn't read many of the previous pages. Sorry 'bout that again. ^^

I love those scenes, especially the second one with Ed. It's always nice to see him blush more-than-casually.

Ha, Ha.
Those are great.
I haden't seen 'em.
Viz needs to get a bit quicker on the translation...

@ Minnie;
And I don't think they'll end up with kids, personally.
Ed's life is far to screwed up to settle down.
Plus, you know something tragic will happen to one of them before it's over.
But I expect a kiss.

Has anything else happened to them?
I'm not terribly prone to downloading.

I don't see Winry admitting her love as very straightforward.
She didn't have much emotion there.
It seems almost unreal...
I don't know why... >>
Volume12NeedsToBeDistributedNow.

Unreal? What was she meant to do? Scream it from the rooftops? And she is only saying it to herself so why would she lie?

The way Winry said it shows she is bashful about how she feels, and its come as a shock to her she never noticed before. She knows its unrealistic to expect anything from Edward so the fact she loves him will remain secret to her. Though I suspect Garfiel has probably detected something.

As for Ed that last scene is really the only time Winry is mentioned in an affectionate sense, all other times its that she is possibly in danger. But there might be some interaction to come between them since they haven't seen each other since Winrys little 'confession'.

@Chiyo - Oh yes!! That conversation scene between Ed and Riza is one of my fav scene!!
Leave it to Riza for catching Ed off-guard with that straight to the core question!!
(Actually, I like the way Arakawa-sensei made Ed to admits his feeling for Winry. That's very Ed, yet we now know that that feeling is there. )

I suppose so.
Winry just looked in a very neutral position there.
Just the emotion on her face...
Anyway, what the hell does it matter?!
Arakawa wrote it, and so it remains.

Anyway, it's quite obvious they've fallen for eachother.
Therefore, I hope something happens before the end of the manga.
Does anyone have any predictions?

So, they haven't seen eachother yet?
I detect chemistry afoot.
Mua-Ha.

Well, and I admit I may be looking too much into this, Ed first says 'how' before he says no..my theory being 'how did you figure that out?' or 'how did you come to that conclusion'

I think Funderful if you look at Winry again her shoulders are hunched and she has an almost guilty look on her face, least thats how I see, neautural Winry looks a lot brighter.

He does say how.
You're right!
Hm. Poor Winry. ;-;
Ed is so very stubborn.

Once again, does anyone have any predictions as to what will come for the two?

i doubt they ever will get together
plus i don't want them too
(he is mine)

He's not yours.
Because he doesn't exist,

So guess what?
He needs a fictional girlfriend.
Aka, Winry.
And Winry he shall have, as Arakawa plans so.

The evidence is in the manga.
^^ Thanks again Chiyo.

You're very welcome, and although its not very direct Winry does sing 'I love you' to Ed in the song 'Lastmeeting', so guessing she loved him in the anime too.

As for predictions its hard to tell right now. Its mentioned that Winry is in danger when she's close to them but it looks like she will be with them soon to fix Ed's arm again. By this time next week we should have at least a little clue as to their next meeting.

I'm not all too concerned about the anime;
That's more of Bones decision, and I'm interested in seeing how Arakawa decides to play it out.
Besides, I'm only a manga Edwin fan.

Anyway, do you think she'll be more self concious or try and flirt with Ed upon their next meeting, considering she admitted to herself that she liked him?
Before, if she had her feelings locked up inside, she might have just felt things towards him sometimes, not really paying attention to what she said.
But now that Winry realised she is actually in love with Ed,
I'm thinkin' she might be a bit more perspective.

Mabye??

Quite possibly. She hasn't been shy talking to him on the phone but face to face is completely different. I think she will be able to talk to him like she always has but there will be moments when he says or does something that makes her blush. And knowing Al he will notice and guess whats going on.

Not sure if Ed will be any different. I don't think they will fight as much as they once did but its won't be anything romantic quite yet.

Agreed.
Ed won't really be able to tell the difference;
Plus, he didn't really admit anything, all though it's quite obvious.
I think his relationship with her hasn't evolved too much; he most likely had the same feelings for her on their last meeting, and will continue to speak with her in a similar fashion this time, although Winry might act slightly differently.
Yeah, it'll probably be the same, but Winry will have her 'moments'.
Ed will do one of those sentimental things again, but that never lasts too long.

Well, I tend to not include the movie when I think about FMA (I've got a fanfic universe as-of-yet-unwritten that continues from episode 51 that I like too much to invalidate by taking all the canon stuff as canon. ) and I'm a fan of the pairing. So, I hope so and, in my 'verse, yes.

spoiler for all who havent see the movie or episode 49



















ed (along with al) end up in our world so they will never have a chance unless ed and al get back to their would.
or will they

Um, yeah.
I'm pretty sure that's been discussed.
Ed could find a Winry in the real world, because everyone is doubled.
Or a Trisha, I believe someone pointed that out previously
(Old Ed Looks like Hoho) ^^.
Either way, I'm not concerned about that.
There is nothing to be done on that subject (plus, I'm not an anime Edwin fan; manga only).

Anyway, we're, at the moment, staying focused on the manga.
It has much more chances of the two getting together (see the links Chiyo posted. Edwin Bliss), considering the volumes are still being released.


Edit; I have more Edwin Fanart, too. Fwee. ^^
Royai is thrown in there with 'em

Yes probley in the end wonder if ed is going to die then winry falls in love werid huh?

....what?

I think Funderful is right, we'll stick to talking about them in the manga...or what we would have wished to have happened in the series backed up with evidence.
