Isn’t this a bit too hard?

Because I’m super short.

>>2

But the homunculi from the first season had clear weaknesses…

By the way, it may be off-topic from the strength debate, but the homunculus that “quivers” at its “weakness” was really good in terms of flavor, right?

Because it’s an all-rounder with uniformly high performance, specialized level 100 types are really tough.

His mind works like a genius, so he is good at exploiting weaknesses.

Is there really such a way to defeat pride!?

>>5

I thought that since there are quite a few instances of human transmutation, that’s why something like that can be done…

>>6

Well, since it’s definitely a human pillar, that makes it so they’ll definitely never let it go.

I’m probably in a position to pass unless I write something really strange…

>>16

On the contrary, Mr. Tucker was being pressured to see if he would open the door to truth if he was cornered…

First of all, the environment is thrown into a difficulty level that’s like post-clear endgame content instead of normal play…

How much is Al?

>>8

Wasn’t the one who fights stronger?

The enemy is quite strong too…

Although I’m in the upper tier of pure human bodies, it’s terrible that people like Bradley and my master are breaking the limits.

>>10

What is the master, aside from Bradley…?

>>17

If you say that, it seems like my master’s husband is about on par with Major Armstrong in strength, which is also strange…

>>42

It’s just a butcher, right…?

>>42

💪🤝💪

Nii-san is a genius too, but after all, he hasn’t experienced the Ishval Civil War…

The achievements of my brother are basically based on ideas and flashes of inspiration…

Leave the fighting to my younger brother and the soldiers.

Everyone around me is level 100 or 150…

In the first place, it’s not that there are a lot of weaklings, but rather it feels like the characters that clearly seem like mobs, like Gori-san, have levels around 70 to 80.

Well, it wasn’t just a mob character.

The soldiers are heavily leveled up in the war.

They are stronger than ordinary people and low-ranking soldiers, but compared to them, they do not exceed the realm of being strong.

Against war veterans, martial arts experts, or non-human opponents, the odds are very unfavorable.

The armored guy we fought at the Fifth Research Institute was tough, too.

The physical abilities of the Armstrong siblings are also quite incredible.

To talk specifically about the front line, there are almost no characters that can defeat the Colonel.

>>22

Because I’m literally the strongest alchemist…

>>22

If we’re talking about someone I might be able to win against in a fair fight, it would be the Führer, who can be restrained before igniting flames or can instantly evade them even if set ablaze.

>>28

The candidate for the Führer is being held down, but does that not count?

You might be able to defeat it with father, and if you had one more life left at the end, there was a possibility you could have defeated it.

I feel like I might be able to defeat Slous too, based on our compatibility.

No matter how hard I try, the outcome won’t change. It’s nice being a wingless angel, isn’t it…

>>33

Both the major and the colonel are clearly slacking off, even though it’s still early in the next phase…

It’s fine for housewives, but what’s up with the husband?

>>25

Wasn’t it a butcher shop?

I understand that my master is strong because he secluded himself in the mountains, but what about my husband who is equally strong…?

From the panda’s perspective, is it the bottom layer of the pyramid, Nisan?

In a world where the minimum level of named combat personnel is 70 and the maximum is 150, a level of 90 is actually closer to the bottom.

Nii-san is a genius, but those around him have plenty of practical experience on top of that.

The creativity is amazing, isn’t it?

Hand slapping isn’t much of an advantage against someone with combat experience.

>>37

Everyone is wearing gloves even though they don’t need to make bread.

Everyone around me is level 255.

Al’s armor is so thin and the blood seal offers no protection, so if I generate steam and blast it, he’ll probably die, right?

>>40

It should be protected from dirt and such.

It’s not good if it gets touched or the formation breaks.

In a combat scenario, it’s basically just the basic martial arts and the transmutation of pillars and other materials directed at the opponent.

>>41

It seems like they could potentially launch an even more brutal attack if they wanted to, but they’re just sticking to punching.

I guess we are not really cut out for killing each other.

>>52

As I did with 66, body destruction can also be done with a hand slap.

>>41

Even though I’m getting stronger as I properly complete quests by remembering destruction alchemy, carbon hardening, and using an entire soul’s worth of the Philosopher’s Stone.

The comparison is to things like returning from battle or the Philosopher’s Stone.

I wonder what they’re writing in Nisan’s assessment.

In a world where just being an alchemist boosts strength, the advantage of Nisan is minimal.

Sometimes there are people who are unusually strong even if they are not alchemists, but let’s pretend we didn’t see that.

Other alchemists have the advantage of immediate response with their preferred tactics since they prepare transmutation circles in advance, while there doesn’t seem to be much of an advantage in the battle against Brother where a little extra effort is required.

You can do various things because of that.

>>51

So, just like Colonel Mustang, a pre-prepared transmutation circle plus a hand slap is the strongest, huh?

>>60

What is this? It’s difficult to do!

…Oh… how convenient…

The strength of just a store clerk during the deserted island training.

>>53

What’s scary about that is the mentality that allows someone to hit two children without hesitation, even if there were instructions.

If you really wanted to kill without choosing methods, there are countless worse ways to do it.

Like creating poison gas.

Isn’t it around level 50? You can normally clear it, but… something like that.

>>57

There’s an extra manga where it says something like, “We’re level 100, right?”

Is the cow perhaps thinking that the butcher is strong?

By the way, I wonder if the butcher who knows the cow is strong, maybe?

It’s more of a skill cap than a lack of level.

I have no intention of mastering the techniques to kill.

>>64

If it’s a killing skill, I can do the same kind of body destruction as Scar, who practiced against a slicer.

I won’t do it because I’ve made up my mind not to kill.

>>72

It’s okay if you lose one or two limbs because you won’t die from it… but you don’t do that either, big brother.

It must be because I’m falling apart.

Because of the war, the surrounding levels are ridiculously high, and the people who were leading the war are also at a high level.

Homunculus is clearly depicted as an existence greater than that of humans.

The master casually throws it away.

I think the level of creativity and inspiration is probably only comparable to that of Scar’s brother, who is above average in the story.

Combat power is just an extra, just an extra.

Once soldiers decide to kill, they don’t hit the brakes…

It’s firepower that shouldn’t be held by just an individual like a colonel.

The colonel, who has now become able to master hand palm alchemy, is too strong, so I’ll nerf him by taking away his eyesight.

>>71

Because I restored my vision with the Philosopher’s Stone, it’s unlimited after that.

>>71

I wonder what happened to the hand clapping after the Philosopher’s Stone restored my eyesight.

>>75

Isn’t it usable normally?

>>75

Seeing the truth and being able to clap my hands is completely unrelated to the lost eyesight, so if my eyesight returns, I should be able to do the original alchemy plus clap my hands again.

>>75

I think Al, who has regained his body, can use the hand clap technique, and once he sees the truth, he should be able to use it.

Homunculus has a lot of remaining lives, which is a disadvantage, right, Nii-san?

I’m good at subduing ordinary humans while keeping them alive, but I have a poor image when it comes to killing them infinitely.

>>74

Because it consumes the soul that turned to stone for the regeneration of the homunculus.

For Nii-san, that’s a kill confirmation.

>>74

I think it’s an interesting balance that Marco is the arch-nemesis of homunculi (or rather the Philosopher’s Stone).

>>74

Since you can instantly create larger, complex forms with hand-panning, it might even be possible to construct structures that can endlessly regenerate and be worn down continuously.

In the first place, since I consciously consume even my own soul or enter the Philosopher’s Stone, I should be able to easily do the disassembly that Marco did.

The alchemy skill is outstanding because it has seen the truth.

I am struggling because my killing skills are not improving.

Brother, the root is a child, so I don’t have the resolve to kill…

>>77

I can’t even shoot the people who were taken by Envy…

>>77

It’s a determination to not kill!

>>87

Interesting!!! Please do your best!!!

>>77

In a desperate situation where you must act or be acted upon, the resolve not to kill is the determination not to kill.

Kimberly acknowledges that too.

I was told I was incompetent on rainy days, but I think they must have taken some measures for rainy days after all.

>>81

You’ve done it with a lighter’s flint even in a wet environment!

>>81

If it’s just an ignition cloth, it’s useless. But if there’s a fire starter that can be used even in the rain, it can definitely cause an explosion. Also, changing the air composition ratio like in Weather Report to cause someone to faint is possible too.

>>98

Impossible

The fuse is made of dust in the atmosphere, so on rainy days, it can only carry out close-range attacks with the intent of self-destruction.

>>127

In the last battle, you split water to fill it with oxygen and blew it up with a lighter, right!

>>132

That was just wet with water…

On rainy days, the dust in the atmosphere falls, so the fuses are extinguished.

>>136

The essence of flame alchemy is gas manipulation, and ignition with fire-starting cloth has nothing to do with alchemy.

>>140

I’m talking about the mechanism of remote detonation.

>>143

You’re getting called out for saying something stupid like you can only do close-range attacks with the intention of self-detonation.

>>127

It’s fine to increase the hydrogen in a slightly distant place and throw in a lighter for an explosion.

Speaking of which, didn’t Niisan never actually kill even a homunculus?

>>88

It is not the original work.

The first season of the anime likely features a story where a homunculus is killed, creating a pairing.

>>88

If I had to say something, maybe pride…?

I’m not sure if I should include that I killed it or not.

>>88

How was the battle against Greed…?

I had dealt damage several times, but…

>>101

The reason I fought against Greed was also because of Al, but my main purpose was to hear about the Homunculi and the Philosopher’s Stone, so I didn’t intend to kill him.

Ed himself is more of a researcher than a soldier, so killing isn’t his job.

If you feel like it, you probably have the skills to employ some ruthless tactics.

That’s why there are places where everyone takes care of us because of that big brother.

Even at level 100, it feels like all the opponents start at level 200.

My dad is around level 999.

The attack power of flame alchemy combined with the defense and adaptability of hand slaps is just a bit too lawless.

It’s a good manga that can properly showcase a character like Dr. Marco.

>>102

It’s great to see characters like Marco and Yoki, who appear just a little and are almost like extras, making an impact…

When I think about it calmly, I wonder why that scar is so strong.

>>104

It’s good, right? I’m a martial monk!

>>104

At the level of the Ishvalan monk, they have the strength to annihilate Amester military soldiers in dozens just with martial arts.

>>104

It was a war that we could finally win only after introducing alchemists, because we couldn’t win in hand-to-hand combat… What was with those warrior monks?

>>116

Moreover, ordinary warrior monks don’t disassemble like Scar does.

>>104

The Ishvalan martial artist is worth ten Amestrian soldiers.

>>104

A battle monk fighting at the front lines of the battlefield is definitely strong!

This manga has too many high-level characters on the side of the allies…

If we’re talking about who Nii-san killed, it might just be that mother figure.

Back then, I might not have been ready yet.

What is that dart-like thing of Hugh’s?

A veteran soldier wouldn’t be weak, right?!

>>108

First, it’s likely that most alchemists will be taken out by sniping.

You, Marco, are going to die here! I accidentally read that scene and started buying it like crazy!

It’s so cool to counterattack with the transmutation circle written in blood at the end there.

The level cap is 100, but it’s skill-based.

And returning from Ishval comes with disadvantages, but it’s a crazy skill.

When you think about it calmly, it’s not Scar that’s strange, but Scar’s brother…

It’s the most broken character in the story, surpassing Papam and father.

>>122

Those tattoos on both arms are like a broken thing that can do something resembling a hand slam without seeing the truth, right?

>>122

He is a genius, but it’s probably also because he had all the right materials available to him…

>>149

It seems that there are practitioners who can relatively reach an understanding of the alchemical art if they have materials on it to notice the discomfort.

Reversal alchemy circle…?

I thought it was just a disposable character that appeared in the early stages, but what is this Yoki?

Even though he’s injured, Scar is strong to fight bare-handed against the Supreme Commander with a sword.

It’s scary because when Marco is taking damage and being cornered, he has a means to secure a kill on his opponent.

It’s a miracle that the Major and the others are still able to fight after taking so much damage coming back from Ishval; everyone who can fight fiercely now is already broken.

>>126

The BRICS members fight while staying cheerful, don’t they…?

Kimblee’s martial arts skills were quite decent, having just been released from prison.

I thought it was just a weak character, but it ends up being the one that shines in the end, just like in a Jubilo manga.

It’s different from over there, but it won’t die.

As a scholar, he is a genius and has potential for growth, but as a combatant, he has zero killing intent. During his growth period, he shared nutrition with his younger brother, and those around him are professional soldiers.

Perhaps the reason Nii-san wasn’t exposed to inhumane orders as a dog of the military was because he was being valued as a candidate for a human sacrifice.

It’s because I’m practicing pick-up techniques that I can make you feel bad with alchemy, Colonel.

Level 90 does not stand a chance at the Ridiculous Human’s World Surprise Show.

The only homunculi that Nii-san was able to defeat are Father and Pride, right?

>>139

Just when I thought I could finish off an opponent who even my father couldn’t defeat or confine, I truly felt like the protagonist.

I love the idea that elite regular forces are genuinely strong.

I love my older brother, who has a genius mind but perseveres through hard work.

If alchemy had survived with Nii-san, it would have been amazing in the medical field after the war.

>>144

The alchemist who lost his abilities seems to be doing everything in medicine, pharmacology, and mechanical engineering.

>>144

Even if I can’t put it into practice, the theory alone is top-notch…

>>147

After all, Nisan is a researcher…

In the old anime, Greed and Sloth were dealt with.

The colonel can synthesize flammable gas from water, so as long as there’s a spark, anything is possible.

Long-range high-speed guided high firepower, etc.

It was good to put out the Colonel in the early game.

Maybe you can also do well in architecture and similar fields, Ed.

The bridge repair work that the master was doing would probably be difficult for a soldier.

>>152

Aesthetic sense, you know…

>>158

It looks just like me when I was young.

>>152

There is a significant problem of having terrible taste.

It’s strange that, despite being an alchemy manga, it’s stronger to master physical skills than to master alchemy!

>>153

First of all, alchemy is not a technique to become stronger…

(Could the Alchemist of Flame please remain silent?)

>>163

I just created the strongest alchemy! (I just created the strongest alchemy!)

>>153

The weakness of Kimberly who just got out of prison.

If you try to use combustible gas as a fuse instead of dust in the air, your hands will definitely catch fire.

>>156

Why are you trying to start a fire with a finger snap?

You can throw in things like lighters to start a fire as done in the play, or you can shoot bullets to create sparks and ignite it.

Nisan seems like he can do just about anything when it comes to intellectual work.

Only architecture is no good.

>>157

The sense of design is…

>>160

Isn’t it cool!?

There are many reliable adults.

Cool, right?

How are you able to perform gas transmutation to produce such a high firepower from the air around here, Colonel?

It seems that moisture and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere might not be sufficient after all.

Ed is still in that phase, and in ten years, his aesthetic sense might change…

I feel like I’m a cut above the rest as an alchemist, except for my father, Hohenheim, and my brother.

>>171

Aren’t we practically family? And what about that Scar brother who’s just casually there…

Scar was too strong, but normally if there are ten or twenty soldiers, they can win without needing a colonel.

Ed really has a scholarly obsession, even when he’s crafting weapons; he makes sure to add decorations and such.

Well, the sense is…

>>173

Come to think of it, I also unnecessarily decorated the spear with dragon motifs when I made it…

If Kimberly didn’t like observing people, she wouldn’t necessarily need to be in the front, given her abilities…

I love talking to those who have convictions, regardless of whether they are allies or enemies, so I will come out.

Strength of about 75 points.

Weaker than an average housewife.

>>175

Is there a common housewife like you?

>>175

In the end, ordinary housewives haven’t done anything with the Grand Commander, so it’s incredibly uncertain where they stand in the ranking of martial arts strength!

>>175

Ordinary housewives don’t plunder military stockpiles.

The unique skill, hand pan synthesis, has become usable by those around.

>>179

Starting next time, the Alchemist of Armor will begin.

Ed’s sense is completely influenced by his father’s tastes…

Considering Ed’s age, it’s quite an accomplishment, but the circumstances didn’t allow for growth to wait.

The weakest among the human pillars.

Despite mostly winning while constantly fighting against unfavorable matchups, it feels a bit too strong.

Returning from the battlefield is strong, but since they’re equally or even stronger, it feels like a lot of plans are being overturned by those people, and it’s just too irregular, right?

Is the ordinary housewife capable of swiping away a BRICS soldier single-handedly?

The ordinary housewife mistook a guy unrelated to alchemy for her alchemy master and trained by surviving in Briggs…

An ordinary (far beyond typical) housewife.

There must definitely have been people who misunderstood “equivalent exchange” as a term in alchemy from Fullmetal Alchemist.

Despite being far removed from the goals of alchemy (turning scrap metal into gold or creating elixirs of immortality).

After the main story, Al

You can use hand-palm alchemy.

I am stronger than my brother in martial arts as well.

I will learn alchemy.

My aesthetic sense is better than my brother’s.

The Colonel’s subordinates, besides Riza, are all quite specialized in their own unique skills, aren’t they?

A housewife raids and plunders Briggs soldiers without being afraid of bears.
