clodia_risa | Epic FMA 104 is EPIC

1) Scar's arm. OMG. This will never stop being brain breaking.
2-3) Double spread. I decided to write this upon seeing this page, wherein there is the epic lineup of determination and awesome. Holy crap I want that picture without the text.
4)Father's new form will never stop being creepy. Father holding onto Hohenheim will never stop being creepy. Also! MAY! You cannot die! (No really, I will be v. surprised if she dies.)
5) Everybody in the manga ships Al/May. Also, Pride no likey Ed saying he can take him alone.
6) I'm...not entirely certain how Ed is blocking Pride's tentacles. Did he carbonize his armor?
7) HAHAHAHAHAHA! Pride is so right. This is hilarious.
8) Although I think Ed might be about to kick Pride's ass anyway.
(Interlude-internet troubles. V. V. frustrating.)
9) YEP! Because Ed is a thinker and a fighter.
10) Did he? Did he really? Awesome. Also, I hope May is going to heal herself with that array. I bet it's drawn in blood.
11) Something about Father with a gun seems really weird to me. Something about Al protecting someone smaller than himself doesn't.
12) Of course Al apologizes to his father before aiming at Father. Also, the last panel is creepy cool.
13) Ho boy.
14) Not good.
15) Of course there's a cut away. God damn dramatic timing.
16) You deserve it, jerk.
17) HOSHIT.
18-19) ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME CRY BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT TO WORK DAMN YOU.
20) All I can think about is the thousands of people who felt this at Xerxes and then got turned into the Philosopher's stone and have basically been screaming and crying for the next however many hundred years and oh god if the entire country gets sacrificed (even if its temporary) I AM GOING TO HAVE WORDS.
21) The villain is monologueing! TAKE COVER! (Not philosopher's stone? Just for power? Not for life? What the hell does Father want?!)
22) GREED MOTHERFUCKING GREED
23) HOLY SHIT MOTHERFUCKING GREED
(Interlude - INTERNET WORK DAMN YOU!!!)
24) Shit. This. Isn't. Good. Father anticipated this? Also, I thought that he shed his "sins" when he birthed them?
25) I echo Greed's thought. Also, Backgrounds! Suddenly! And Father's moving! This isn't good.
26) Of course it is. And Hohenheim? Took you long enough. It's in vain, of course, but still.
27) The array is useful? He needs the array?
28) Ummmmmmm.....
29) UMMMMMMMM......
30) UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!
31) You know what, Father. This is a bad plan. Opening the planet's gate? When you're only one mind yourself? This is not going to end well for you, but you're too stupid to see it. Also, each person has an individual gate? This explains a lot. It's not one gate that each person can access - it's their own gate. Monitored by the All/One/World?
32) HOSHIT PHILOSOPHIZING!
(Interlude - BAD INTERNET. BAD.)
33) FUUUUUUUUUUUCK. (Thank you, Arakawa, for not showing me people I love suffering this fate right now.)
34) Also, thank you for showing me that jerk in the brass suffering. But Grumman! And Miles!! ohgod
35) DAMN YOU ARAKAWA
36) PINAKOOOOO! WINRYYYYYYY!!!!1
37) FJDKSLAGUJIOSJAFKLSDA
38) WHA?
39) WHA?!
40) That's FAther, right? He's giant sized now, right?
41) If this whole thing is misplaced daddy issues I am going to cut a bitch.
42) He. Did it?
43) He did it. My hope for the rest of that manga is that great kami-sama in the sky gets ticked off enough at Father to put him back into a bottle and to restore everyone. Also, it does not escape my notice that we have not seen the fate of Ed et al.
44) Misplaced daddy issue. Megalomaniac.
45) The people like ants lying on the ground.
46) ...
47) You know what made me cry? Elysia and Gracia.
49) Somehow we're on 49 now. I don't really care. Must've been a double spread in there somewhere. So those who were in the room are spared.
50) Is...is he gonna be some conglomeration of the 5 people in the circle?
(Interlude. It must be Onemanga that sucks, not my internet, thought my internet is also slow.)
51) I don't even know what can happen after this chapter? I guess that's what the other array is for. To reverse it, rather than stop it.
52) Did he thank them like he thanked Hohenheim earlier? Also...he's kinda built and not unattractive and looks like he could be of Hohenheim's line and wow.

THE END! NO MORE MANGA! CONGRATULATIONS, BAD GUYS WIN! WE CAN ALL GO HOME NOW. ALSO I WAS WRONG ABOUT SCAR'S ARM STOPPING BEING BRAIN BREAKING. BRAIN COMPLETELY BROKEN. SCAR NOW IRRELEVANT.

Theories to come at a later date.

5) Ahaha Ed does ship Al/May! It's past the point of no return now, like when the Judge saw Gumshoe/Maggey.
12) I look forward to seeing that panel animated.
14) I love how poor Roy has no idea what's going on.
21) As a matter of fact, I believe Douglas Adams wrote some books to that effect, yes.
22) Wow, Greed!
25) Oh, backgrounds. Now with more steampunk.
36) This is how you can tell they aren't permanently dead. Arakawa wouldn't kill Pinako. She definitely wouldn't have Pinako say something like that without following up on it later.
49) You can tell Greed has Thoughts on May being in the room.
51) I dunno what it is, but I just love that "Yes. Yes, I did."

THE END! NO MORE MANGA!

Oh, come now, surely there will be an epilogue. "And then Homunculus made the five sacrifices his eternal slaves, and the others who survived accidentally into throne cushions. THE END."
