It's a shame about Winry sitting out the final battle, but she's more maintenance and support anyway.Įs muy curioso como aquí sí aplica la de “el enemigo de mi enemigo, es mi amigo”, porque todos los que alguna vez sufrieron bajo las garras de aquel “padre” que ha creado incontables homúnculos, ahora unieron fuerzas con los hermanos Elric. Other than that there's a couple big explosions going on here and there, the return of some of Mustang's men from the war of Ishval (I liked these guys maybe more than I should have), and sideboob. It's a chaotic yet well-paced battle scene with its twists and turns and new allies showing up, and we're not yet even done with it as the volume ends! I think it might actually have stretched out a little bit too long, in places, but these things can take a while when your foe is immortal and you have a lot of side characters to give spotlight to. This one mostly focuses itself in Pride's efforts to capture some of their stray human sacrifices, in so doing solidifying Father's plan while crippling the heroic efforts to thwart it.

A build-up twenty volumes and many centuries in the making finally pays off, and it will not relent for a long time. Plans and counter-plans set in motion like domino pieces. Champions on both sides are locked in mortal struggle. The battle is joined on several different stages at the same time. The final quarter of the story all takes place in just a day or two. Sometimes we've gone a volume or two without anything truly significant happening, and skipping days or even weeks entirely casually and with no need of commenting about it. You have a few fights here and there, but also a great deal of mystery, character development, exposition, season with horror to taste. It only now occurs to me just how slow-paced this story has been up until now. The Promised Day is at hand! All pieces are in place and the final play now begins.
