I think at one point (I'll have to double-check, as my memory at this hour is faulty at best) Father mentioned the possibility of using Roy to open the gate. How he plans on doing that is a good question. I loved this latest chapter, btw. There's a big danger of the world exploding because of the sheer awesome of pairing the Armstrongs and the Curtises. Izumi and Olivier kicking butt together? The return of the "manly accord" handclasp between Alex and Sig? I loved it. Totally useless side note: I'm finding Hohenheim unbelieveably hot. Maybe it's just my already-established thing for guys with glasses? And I need to give a shout-out in this thread to Danneh. He's the one who got me into FMA, and for that I will be forever grateful.

This is true. When Izumi's husband showed up, I was like "YES. SPARKLES." XD It was a very entertaining chapter. I think I remember one of the Homonculi or Father saying Roy was the key too. Yikes! That should be interesting!!

How he plans on doing that is a good question. Hoenheim IS one of the sacrifices...Chapter 73, page 43. He and the boys are definite...Izumi and Mustang are both possibilities to fill out the five he needs.
I know I read he's considering Roy because he saw that he's pretty powerful and, despite appearances, he has a good heart...though I can't for the life of me remember when that happened...

It's Chapter 40, in the aftermath of Roy killing Lust. The other Homunculi question why Wrath/Bradley didn't finish off Roy while he had the chance. Wrath says Mustang is too kind, and that he plans on using him to open the gate - www.onemanga.com/Full_Metal_Alchemist/40/09/

Wrath says Mustang is too kind, and that he plans on using him to open the gate - www.onemanga.com/Full_Metal_Alchemist/40/09/ I knew I'd read it...but still...that was Wrath, not Father...but Father did seem to trust Wrath's judgement... Just wondering...do we really need spoiler tags in here? I mean...aren't we in here 'cos we're reading this? *EDIT* Lust mentions his status as a sacrifice too...Chapter 39, page 6...

Hrm, as for spoilers, that's a good question. Most of us are probably caught up on the major goings-on, but there might be some people who are just starting on the manga who might pop in here to see what's up (now me, I just started only a couple or three months ago, but I'm an unabashed spoiler 'ho, so it doesn't bug me to see them out in the open, big as life and twice as true).

Sorry luthien. I'll run through and make some spoiler tags on here. We did have a warning earlier in the thread. XD But we've passed that.

We did? Must've missed it... You know... Zuko Alone is on right now. There was a time I'd drop everything to watch it, but now I can bring myself to give enough of a darn about it to bother. I'm a bit worried about that... *Goes to watch FMA:B online instead* We're up to episode 11

I'm really looking forward to episode 12. "It was a good life, brother!" "I had hoped at least to have a girlfriend!" Bring on Izumi!

Man, does she run hot and cold...scary beyond all reckoning and over-protectively motherly in the space of one breath She made them who they are, though...

I recently got caught up on the manga and am mostly stumped at how I've managed to get by without having this awesomeness in my life. After the anime dub ended I faded away from the series, and watching Brotherhood made me realize things would make a lot more sense if I read the manga. (that and a complete lack of willpower to wait and see what happens in fake!gate) The past few chapters have been amazingly epic, and I can't wait to see what happens in chapter 100. I'm still new to how the release schedule works, but if it's on time it should be coming out next week, yeah? I'm so worried about Al getting his body back though -- he's so skinny! Whatever other problems the trio will run into by being sacrifices, and even if/when they manage to break out just to be in a combat zone again, Al being in a body where just walking is a danger to himself really won't help matters. I do hope he gets his body back, but in the state he's in, I don't know how he could survive it.
