um.. lying under a zeppelin.. and above ed, the zeppelin parts crush and fall down on him... and ed even said that "people who die behind the gate go to the other side of the gate". so I think "nope".
maybe the endless love of roza will ressurect him.. would be kinda odd, winry should be the reason >_<

I love Ed. I love him so much it's shameful. However, I saw this coming... although I always figured he'd die in order to restore Al. T_T.;;

All I can say is, Al better have a happy ending. Whether or not Ed comes back... Al really deserves a happy ending. ;_;.

And the anime further deteriorates into stupidity.


*cheers*

Here's for 51 being a REAL stinker.

Then again, it can't get much worse than this.

I have less confidence with my opinion, just an example.

With a normal interpretation, london ed must die in such situation.

but then Hoheimheim cannot do anything more. I (want to) believe Hohenheim will do something to save his son. because he deeply loves Trisha and her son.

He mentioned "there is no equivalent exchange relation with parents' love. parents never expect to get anything from giving love to their children"..

and I can agree with your expect, also.

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAH Ed died. >:D

*thwaps your head* Don't laugh because of a cartoon character's pain & suffering.

with this word "resurrect", and Rose's situation, a baby.....

I can imagine a legend of Christ.

If Rose truly "resurrect" Edward, then the role of them will be.....

No. then FMA will become MATRIX-like....

I hope you mean that if the roles were reversed.

Edit: The Film thats coming out in 2005 is about Ed and Al and is set 2 years after the 51st episode. I think that Envy just killed his Dad "Hoenheim" what do you think?

I thought Al would revive Ed somehow..... or something...

"is about Ed and Al"? who told you this? I think after this episode we cant relay onto the image shown of movie!ed... maybe they try to fool us with that image... but... remember the thread where all said that movie!eds clothing look weird? i think its behindgate!ed we see at the movie page...

btw . dante created gluttony

so what your trying to say is that ed's dead, how could this be i thought ed was a homunculus or something because judging from the WWII scene of ed, it seemed Edward were the same people, som maybe al would be killed in order to revive Ed...who knows

Noooooo I can't believe it those bastards the last ep better be really good

For the love of god its WORLD WAR 1 not two do some history research.

Sad, open and unexpected.



I think everybody gets it now. Afterall there only have been what? 10 peeps yelling the member's ears off about it.

First let's not be biased by Netbare's rough translations. The fully detailed ones (as in the ones obtained by Funimation from Bones for the DVD scripts) would perhaps explain better.

However I'm going to comment on what is easily seen in ep50.

CRAP graphics at times, especially in that concert hall!!!

Look at Envy's various forms. Hughes was the worst! Big head, tiny hands (even if you take into account his hands was 'thrusting' towards you), weird positions.

Then Envy can destory floors but cannot even knock off Ed's head whom he hates so much or squish Wrath who was seriously distrubing him then. Now he can even get Hughe's metal blades from nowhere (tell me where he stored them on his original body in the first place).

The amazing scene is that a mindless hungry gluttony can stop moving towards alphonse when all he cared about then was to slowly move towards al to eat him, just to watch envy and ed fight.

of course now, terminarcher can stand up against thousands of bullets and grenades (taking only little damage) when he turned tail and ran away from soldiers in the previous episode...

I didn't get the explication of Dante about Envy , Did Hohenheim tried to create another self as a son ?

Ed's lines in ep. 51:

"I'm not dead yet!"
"Actually... I feel much better!"

^^^ even though its still sucks how they did that

Just what did Envy do? O_o

Prediction: Al gets up off that sigil and saves Ed with his magic kenja no ishi powers.

Come on, people... it's so obvious!

I didn't think Ed would be the one to die in this episode, though... it's a nice twist.

Rule no. 1 of anime:
When convenient plot twists hang in the balance, common sense be damned.

Rule no. 2 of anime:
The main hero NEVER dies. If he does die, he quickly gets revived.

oh, and what about cowboy bebop?

[when such resuscitation is known to be possible]

cowboy bebob? does the main hero.. um dont remember his name... die?

It implies that he does, though it doesn't really show it.

It just has him falling over, then a fade out.

But ressurection isn't possible in the FMA world. Incase you haven't noticed, Scar basically said word for word one of the most major themes of this anime: "The dead stay dead." Human transmutation will never work because nothing can equate for the soul because the soul doesn't exist anymore after you die. When Ed attached Al to the armor, he said that he "traded his arm for the fading soul of his brother."

but the toukan koukan can be ignored if once a human obtains the p.stone..

Maybe Ed will become a Homunculus[!]

Then why did Al wouldn't break down like that when Tucker used it...

Homunculus Ed, rofl. He can be Pride if Roy kills Fuhrer next episode. It'd fit him very well.

They can't kill ed... thats just plain wrong

Well, it looks like he gets revived again, so all's OK.

If you die, you go behind the gate correct?

And if you die there, you go back to the other side?

I'm confused.....

But he could act fast? :X

@__@ Ditto. So this means that you basically can't die?

I don't think so or everyone who had seen the gate would be poping up here and there.

Good point.

Oh wow. That episode was jaw-droppingly awesome. So much better than the WTF-are-they-doing feeling of episode 49.

Seriously, I know everybody is depressed and down from Ed's death, but if you put aside your feelings, it was awesome. Lots of revelations (that we already guessed anyway)

Woo, they fooled us good. Everybody was guessing who was going to die in the episode titled "Death". Will it be Al? Roy? Riza? Can't be the guy on the movie poster. Nice work.

I know this won't go over well, but really they should just stop the series now. Forget episode 51. It would be so fitting. An abrupt ending just like Ed's death. And it doesn't matter what comes next since Ed wouldn't find out what happens either because he's dead. Bones, don't you screw it up in 51!!!


So why do Homonculus keep their remains close to them? That's clearly the Furher's remains in his safe. Greed did the same thing. Is it some sort of sentimentality?

Next, nobody seems to be talking about the whole Hohenheim talking to Ed about Trisha stuff. (I guess that's second class news compared to the Envy revelation). It seemed easy enough to understand, but .. not 100% sure So Hohenheim left to look for medicine for his body?

Finally, what's the deal with that mushroom cloud?

Hohenheim left because he didn't want his sons to witness him rotting away.

Oh thanks! I misheard. I heard kusuri = medicine, but he says kusari = decay.

Sorry, but it's funny. Medicine and decay are complete opposites.

That was hilarious how Dante yanked out Gluttony's tongue.

How exactly did alter-Hohenheim get to a position where he could have an audience with Churchill so quickly?

Hohenheim's his son...? Brother...? O_O

They obviously keep their remains close to them so their enemies won't be able to use the remains against them. Since using the remains is the only way to defeat homunculus remember?

I've got a question. Is Edward really dead or does it look like he gets revived in the preview for episode 51? In that case is the preview for episode 51 online yet?

ep 50 has no preview for 51 :/

and the translation until the commercial

I bet Kimbley's first name is actually Zwoelf and he's a German scientist in the real world working on the Atom bomb.

I think the "if you die, you go beyond the door" thing (if it is true, which is doubtful) would only apply to you if you've seen the door and know the "truth."

After all, we were presented with that scene of Ed's eyes viewing images of history again, like we were in episode 29.

Well... at least poor Al still has a nii-san...
