Indeed! What WILL he do? Do you think he'll join that really exclusive club...of which there are only three other members (four if you count Hohenheim, though I don't think he's actually performed that particular type of alchemy). I would have liked to see him yell "RIZA!" rather than "LIEUTENANT!", but whatcagonnado?
I was kind of thinking that, seeing as they've kinda 'gone through the gate' that Al might get to become a real boy. Or maybe he will, he doesn't seem to be in the armour anymore... It's gonna be a LLLOOOOONNNGGGG month.

Yeah, me too. Wanted to hear him shout Riza. I did like, however, that he wasn't going to be persuaded by his grieving of Hughes - even though we all watched him go through that horrible process. But now that they've slashed Riza's throat, he's definitely rethinking that whole human transmutation thing. I've been desperate for some more chapters featuring Mustang, and this one definitely delivered. Cuz they can't possibly let her die. I mean... if they kill Hawkeye... I will be just so freakin' upset.

And what would THAT do to him? She's about the only thing keeping him sane! Mind you...Izumi will probably kick his arse if he does do it. He's really the only thing holding up Father's plans at the moment.

I must say my angst-loving, evil side really wants to see him lose it over this whole thing. And right now, I worry Father's plans are actually going to succeed! 0__0 But, keep in mind, if Roy does bring Riza back to life, goes through the gate, and shows up on the other side with Ed and company, they can all fight Father and be victorious?.... I dunno. Gotta say this latest chapter hooked me in though.

I don't know...an unhinged Flame Alchemist could be a very scary thing. But what's gonna happen to Roy if he DOES do it? Izumi lost...well, I'm not sure what she lost exactly, a lot of internal organs...Ed lost a leg...Al lost his whole body! What will Roy have to give up if he tries to bring Riza back (assuming she's actually dead)?

Maybe that's how Roy loses his eye in the manga? I dunno. I always thought that drew an interesting parallel between him and Bradley.

That happened after the anime swerved off on its own path...it may not happen in the manga...but like you said, a nice parallel if they go that way. On the plus side...he won't have the vulnerability of his gloves anymore (how many times have they been shredded?)...he'll just have to slap his hands together in alchemic prayer like the others

I wonder if it would still work when it rains? XD If it didn't, wouldn't that be hilarious? He'd be like "Aww, WTH?!"

His alchemy doesn't workin the rain because his gloves get wet and he can't get a spark. He said at one point that rain (and water) itself is good because he can break it down into its gases which are both highly flamable. If he can work without a circle maybe he'll no longer needs the spark to ignite it.

This is definitely true. I definitely think he's going to perform the transmutation. Hawkeye's really all he's got left. He'll lose it without her. (yay for my ship?)

I got the Fullmetal Alchemist: Premium OVA Collection yesterday...it was certainly weird to hear those two call each other by name... Yeah...she is the only thing he has left...and they've been (kinda) together for so very long...but it's a rational transaction, one life for millions. Even if he does save her through human transmutation he's still gonna lose her. And if she somehow survives he won't...that's the whole meaning of the word 'sacrifice'. But then love (even when it's not admitted) is not a rational thing. I still say Izumi (and possibly Ed) will kick his arse if he does it. Roy's the last piece of the puzzle. If he doesn't do it, Father can’t go through with his nefarious plans! He made that fake Lt Ross...and cauterised his own wounds...he might be able to save her without it...

This is definitely true. I certainly hope he can save her without the transmutation - but he may have to perform one just to get Father's dudes to let everyone go so he can do that. Either way, I don't think Roy's walking away from this without a mountain of guilt dumped on him. Poor thing.

I've seen some spoiler pics of 101! That is, raw, un-translated, badly scanned pics. Won't be long now...

Um... hates to admit it...at a Naruto...forum...? And it seriously looks like Wrath and Pride are trying to FORCE Roy to open that gate! Wrath's pinned him down with a blade through both palms (that's gotta hurt!) while Pride forms the alchemic circle around them with his creepy eyed shadowy stuff. And it goes all sparkly active...and that's the end of the spoiler images...possibly the chapter (which will tick me right off!). There's a nice bit of him cradling Riza before that though...and she's talking to him...so it looks like she's okay...and May's there to heal her up Linkage...scroll down to the post by Geg and click the 'Show' after 'Spoiler'.
