I dunno....Gluttony's 'can I eat him' is almost as strange/annoying as all of his 'scared' and Lust comments. I just think that some insight on Gluttony's half would be interesting. I do believe he has better language skills...just refuses to use them. Like how a child wines and half the time you can't understand them....



You speak like a Envy hater... so you wouldn't be a fan of the chibi Envy pancakes I'm going to make? (No seriously, food color+batter poured in different shapes= faces. It's quite fun, I'm going to try FMA characters this week.) Knowing Envy he's probably up to something or other...

ok..um..whats wrong with double posting? ...there must be something i have missed

[spoiler] She only lasts for three more episodes (Sealed Humonculus) where Lust helps Ed defeat Sloth, but is sealed when Wrath finds her weakness. (Her weakness wasn't her bones, but her locket, which may or may not include a bone or something that remained of her body) [/spoiler]

Her locket? I thought it was the oboruous (sp?) sign.

See below where I got my info from. Warning! It can be a big spoiler if you haven't seen the whole series!!!
[spoiler]Look under Anime to your left and go to whatever episode you like, this one will be called sealed homunculus[/spoiler]

ah true but his stomach is definatly bigger then his brain

you noticed awww those would be cute but yeah...i don't like Envy that much o_o even though i DO have some fanart of him/her/it

My best guess is Hohenheim is an ice alchemist. For the geekily inclined, this means that he is able to quickly sap the heat out of localized regions of space and crystallize the moisture inherent in the air. Wheeeeeeeeee!

Personally, if I were going to have some extravagant magical way of killing people, I'd be something as broken as a kinetics alchemist. You know, being able to manipulate the kinetic energy states of matter. It's lke telekinesis except better since I could arguably finely manipulate kinetic energy down to the atomic level. Bwahahahahaha!

It's there. I underlined it...yup.




That there's no question of. But the real question (and one I've been thinking over) is iff Gluttony fell off something high, a cliff or instance, would his stomach bounce him back up when he hit the bottom? Comical yes...the idea came to me after I read a fic where Wrath tried to use Gluttony as a trampoline... 0.o



Hopefully they'll turn out okay, if they do I'll put them in fanart...I'll start a line of FMA-shaped food....ANYWAY.

I think Envy is a fun character in general...it's probably just because I like making evil characters myself. (Can you imagine creating Envy's character?) He may be sarcastic, a murderer, and mentally unstable, but his character is much needed.

Eh, I'm going to start rambling so I'll stop there. Your opinion is yours, mine is mine.

Hohenhiem of Light. LIGHT!!! Not Hoho-papa of ice, I think it was gotten down a few pages ago. Though he could probably control ice too if he wanted. But that wouldn't go with the whole light thing now would it?

Anyhow kinetic sounds pretty interesting, fun too. But I can't help but find Kimblee's way one of the most appealing...there's nothing like a good boom.

Oh and yeah. Double-posting in most forums on the internet = Bad

Actually one can also consider him to manipulate crystalline structures as well, and Crystals are useful in refracting light if one wants

oh ok....did you get that from the "Rules anf guidelines" thing above, at the top of the page? ...i went there and nothing showed up for me, sadly

Yup, that's where I got it. You should try again, the rules are important.

yeah i know they are important ...i just try again and it still doesnt show up...*sigh* o well

..Good episode, great episode.....hahahaaa...it was funny when Al jumped
out of the river and was telling Ed that he could swim..hhheheehehee...and when
Ed went to punch the crap outts hid dad.......also when Hohenheim was asking Ed
if he still hated milk and Ed kicked him.....it's kinda a sad relationship between him and
his father...but I understand cuz someone leaving you for 10 years and all of a sudden
just show up to see you again, yea...i'd be pissed too....
can't wait til this sat!!!!!!!!!!

No it's ice. Light is just his nickname, since he is named after a real-world figure. Besides, ice is the easier explanation because "congealed light" is just too stupid and cheesy. He formed ice crystals to stop Gluttony's charge, formed animated ice statues in the form of Alphonse and threw a shard of sharp ice. Said shard of sharp ice conveniently cut upon Dante's dess and conveniently revealed a plot point.

And another Kimbley fan! I never thought I'd see the day! I like him because he's just out to have old pyromaniacal fun. Can't blame the guy. "Not enough sulfur..."

Anyway, yes why not kinetics? That's what you're doing anyway when you're "adjusting the oxygen concentration in the air," just changing the motion of air particles to become more compacted. (Roy just creates an oxygen vapor "fuse" through which a spark can travel to the oxygen vapor "bomb.") Ed causes stone spears to shoot out of the ground at his enemies, and Louis simply changes the kinetic energy of the blocks that he hurls (either that or he's monstrously strong). And that's what you'd be doing anyway when you shape an object, the bulk movement of molecules, like molding clay.

*clap*

*rip victim in half*

Heck once you get good enough, you could probably just move the air itself. Explosively suction air out around a victim. If it doesn't instantly tear out his lungs; the oxygen will diffuse straight out of his blood, into his lungs and out into the lower-pressure vacuum. This is basically oxygen exchange working in reverse of what normally happens. Oxygen diffuses across the membrane of lung into the blood usually because it's moving from a high concentration to a low one. Creating a vacuum around the atmosphere of your opponent should do exactly the opposite.

According to NASA, being in a vacuum will knock you unconcious in a manner of seconds. You actually experience this to a small degree when you get up too fast and the blood rushes out of your head. This is because your head won't stay conscious long if it is deprived of oxygen. Hold the vacuum for about 6-10 seconds and release it, causing the air you suctioned out to be explosively sucked back in. Let's see Mustang try to ignite his fleme powers inside of a vacuum and try to stay conscious at the same time.

i don't know o_o mabye if you tricked him into eating helium

you could always take a pic and scan it, i'll be sure to look! and yes, we all have our own prefrenses but rambling is good! just not when you go off topic

But then he'd float....I dunno. I'd like to see it happen though.



I ramble about the universe when I ramble.. I forget what I'm rambling about sometimes...it's freaky....

I get off topic alot...care to discuss things that actualy happened in the episode instead of things that didn't?

"Do you still hate milk?" -Hoho.

This means Ed hated milk when he was still little, like only a few years old. I wonder when and why Ed started hating milk.....

@Jen_Elric, and FullMetalAlchemist01FAN, and theothersin, I hear you, and I agree.
Desparate situation calls for some desparate measures, I think.

So, here is my suggestion to all designated talk-back thread hosts for upcoming FMA episodes, including ed's numbuh 1 fan (ep 45,) FullMetalAlchemist01FAN (ep 46,) Nepharski (ep 47,) vfdj42 (ep 48,) theothersin (ep 49,) and Jen_Elric (ep 50):
But, especially, ed's numbuh 1 fan, because episode 45 is coming up this Saturday, PLEASE READ the below...

I'm suggesting to open the talk-back thread few days early, like, on Wednesday.
And, preferably, the first post contains some note to others to refrain from posting spoilers, or better yet, NOT to post till one day before the episode airdate.
Like, in a big red letter, "This is the designated talk-back thread for episode xx.
This thread will open officially on Friday. Please DO NOT POST untill then." Or something like that.

I anticipate the thread would sink down while waiting for Saturday's air-time.
Please DO NOT DOUBLE POST in order to bump the thread.
(I don't want you to get in trouble needlessly by double posting.)
I will make sure to post (and hence) bump your talk-back thread on Friday early morning to the top of first page, if needed, and then on Friday you can officially open your talk-back thread to general public for discussions, if you like it that way.

This way, I think, if anyone other than designated hosts open the thread BEFORE Wednesday (before the designated host opens his/her talk-back thread for that Saturday's episode,) then we have enough time to let the UNdesignated talk-back thread author know of the existance of the thread host list, and deal with the situation in orderly manner.

And, of course if anyone opens any episode thread AFTER the designated host opens his/her talk-back thread, we can ask mods to close UNdesignated one as the duplicate thread.

As usual, this is my suggestion, and I welcome and appreciate suggestions for other ideas and means to prevent any further "mishaps".
If you have any suggestions, please DO NOT POST it here and start the "thread" discussions here, but please post on the "the list thread" to continue this discussion there, so that this discussion will not overshadow the episode 44 discussions here. (Thank you!! )
(I'll post this on "the list thread" also.)


And, as the public service announcement, the following is the list of designated thread hosts for the remaining FMA episodes:

List of designated thread hosts to open talk-back thread for the remaining Fma episodes:

Ep 45: ed's numbuh 1 fan
Ep 46: FullMetalAlchemist01FAN
Ep 47: Nepharski
Ep 48: vfdj42
Ep 49: theothersin
Ep 50: Jen_Elric

(Note: This does not includes Final episode - episode 51. Please do not post and ask to be designated as the thread host for the final episode.)

If you are not the designated talk-back thread starter, PLEASE honor these designated hosts, and please refrain from opening talk-back threads for the remaining FMA epispodes. Thank you!!


Ahem... Sorry for the digression!! And now, please continue with the episode 44 discussions...

I kinda meant that Dante switched souls with Lyra. An then killed Grandma form.

That makes more sense.
Or, maybe Dante's old body dies when "the soul" moves to Lyra's body, and the old Granma becomes soul-less?? Or not???

Well...I don't think we actually know what happened with Lyra's soul. It's never mentioned what happens to the original souls of the bodies of the person they switch with...

[spoiler]...in the next episode you learn that Hohenheim does the same thing....and never once has it been mentioned what happens to the original soul of that body and where it goes....unless I missed something [/spoiler]

So....we can't be sure if Lyra's soul was simply "pushed-out" of the body and she "died" that way...or if her sould was put into the old woman's body.

OMG OMG FMA. OMG FAM OMG
So far i have to say the eps in this half of the show are hands down getting better and better every Ep

CANT WAIT TILL NEXT ONE.

Yeah, I was thinking about that, too. I agree that Lyra's soul in Dante's body might died that way.
Either way, Dante, or whoever/whatever he/she/it is in Lyra's body now, is a murderer and evil!!

Well I don't believe I put my input on the episode yet (lol).
Anyways I think this is now turned into one of my fav episodes, I really liked it. The whole Ed and Al reactions to seeing their father, I see Al has turned into the forgiving one easily, while Ed will still envy the dad...You can tell that Hohenheim is really feeling very bad, for all that happened around him that he missed, I noticed his expression through the whole episode when seeing his sons. :sighs: This a very touching/sad anime show, but I love it! (lol)...I definitely can't wait for this upcoming episode...

PS: I was a little confused with the Lyra and Dante situation, but thanks to you guys that posted on it, I think I got a better understanding of what happend

But one thing I am a bit confused about is with Ed searching through his mother remains and pulling 'I don't know what', I guess I'll just have to watch the episodes and see (lol)

If the soul had simply died in the air. Or died once in the old lady. Why would Dante have to rip it to pieces?

Oh I forgot to mention. With the christain church discovery and the new-found knowledge that Dante created the Sins. I have found that the series has begun to resemble Dante's poems.
(The real Dante)

^^ Yeah, I agree with your point about Dante's remain (body.)

And, yes, that Christian church showing up in the anime stor-line was a bit of surprize too.

Yes,7 sins are named after sins from Dante Alighieri's poems...
