I enjoyed this volume more again than the other recent installments, because we're so close to the end that all the players are coming back together and it's easier to keep track of all the storylines. (This is a failing of mine, not the manga. But the result is still the same: I liked Vol. 25 better than Vol. 22-24.) I have very vague memories of the anime, but it's been long enough that the story feels new. Still giving secondary characters the spotlight for the big battles, but this time they are the ones I don't much care about, like Roy Mustang, Scar, and May Chang. Edward Elric manages to show up for a few panels, but at this point he is less the title character and more one of three dozen characters fighting for screen time in this ensemble show. My worry now: How will this possibly wrap up in just two volumes in any sort of satisfying way? Maybe finish the battle next time and then give us a whole volume of epilogue? It's hard to believe this series is ending in the next two volumes. No no no, don't go! And yet it is ending with all the gusto and class that befits such a game changing series such as Full Metal Alchemist. As the focus of the war in Central City literally goes underground, there is a lot of character-driven action including a rather amazing and in character Roy/Riza moment for those who like that sort of thing (i.e. me myself and I). Roy himself gets a lot of scenes as does the Fuhrer, Lin, and even Al, who has to make a hard decision and faces an unlikely person in the process - himself. Also, the Fuhrer is really kicking ass this volume N-not that it's a good thing, but his fighting scenes are fast-paced and are some of the best in the whole series. The cliffhanger for this book has me itching for volume 26, albeit reluctantly since the end is so very very nigh. But one thing's for sure: it's gonna be awesome. One caveat: something happens to Roy in this volume (won't say what but it's a rather big 'something') that will have major implications on the rest of the series unless Arakawa can handle it with some form of respect. I'm looking forward to how she writes post-25!Roy from this point on, all things considered. Fullmetal Alchemist Volume 25 by Hiromu Arakawa is the continuation of the fight started in Volume 24. If you read manga for the battles, you will love this issue. If you prefer humor and character development, this one is a disappointment in another wise strong series. In and amongst the battle with the unstoppable and incredibly arrogant King Bradley (Wrath) and the Armstrongs being forced to fight together, there are two updates to the plot of note: Al is given a chance to return to his body and Mustang being forced to stand in for a missing sacrifice. But mostly though the book is pages and pages of fights. Some long time characters pay the ultimate price. There's a lot of swooping sorts and massive transformations through alchemy. I found it all too much and improbable. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

As Greed and King Bradley continue their battle, the mysterious homunculus "father" makes his move under Central City. In order to achieve his objectives, he will need to force Mustang to make an unthinkable choice. Meanwhile, Alphonse has the chance to regain his own body, but the sacrifice to do so may be too much.

In any case, it's a crazy story that just keeps getting bigger and crazier. GIANT BATTLES! SOUND EFFECTS! CRAZY THINGS HAPPENING!
Spoilers:
Chapter 100: Holding the Gate
Like I said. Greed/Lin is becomming the most human. Of all the possible redemption arcs...
Of all the quotes in the series, that one really struck home.
Chapter 101: The Fifth Human Sacrifice
Ed, Al, Izumi, one they need to add and... who? I'm missing one. Von Hohenheim?
Oh Wrath. You just refuse to die.
Chapter 102: Before the Portal
Transmuting on his behalf seems like cheating. If they could do that, why didn't they do it long ago?
Also Al turned his body down!! MADNESS!
Chapter 103: For Whom?
You know, I sort of expected the different sort of alchemy would work. And then VWOOP. Oh no! ( )
