Well, this chapter just made me realize how Marie is a "girl".. Don’t know how I ever though she was a man, taking aside her name of course.

So, they are powerless against this situation. Allen is down, Link is down, Kanda is at his limit and Marie has lost her headphones and two fingers.

Meanwhile, Timothy has time to understand that his robberies were bad and that he destroyed many lives. Anyway, they are about to finish things when Emilia appears to protect Timothy. One of the akumas moves to kill her but, the level 2 stands in between them.

The narrator talks about a betrayal. Maybe this one of those akumas who were converted to the exorcists side or maybe he’s just stopping the others from killing her because he wants to do something even worst to her.

Soldiers Come Marching Home

Marcoh, Scar and the other Chimeras return. Now, they are all together, taking aside Mustang’s party. The old man leaves to try to find as much as he can about Mustang’s plans.

Meanwhile, Ed is most worried about what Lin/Greed is up to. Anyway, they got to deal with the problem at hands first, Pride.

In Central, Mustang’s group is fighting the military with the Fuhrer’s wife as a hostage. The officials tell the soldiers to just attack them anyway. Their only orders are to get Mustang alive, all the others are to be killed.

Right now, Mustang has the advantage. They are managing to move forward without having to kill any enemies. They had some more man ready to join them, surprising Central.

It seems Central’s main reason to have Armstrong with them is for Briggs not to revolt. Too bad for them that Briggs troops are hidden inside Armstrong’s mansion.

More backup arrives with old friends. Things are really looking good for the good side. Right now I’m really interest to see Ed and company fighting Pride, if that’s what they are going to do. I have no idea how "father" is thinking of responding to all this attacks. He only has Sloth for now and Greed is on his way to cause some damage there.

As a side note, I think that "eclipse thing" is gonna be something important..

It was a cool chapter building up for the final. All the characters are coming together again for the final act.

Lonely Boy

This chapter introduces the Brokers. They are normal humans who work for the Earl for money. She shots Emilia and takes Timothy with her. Link now understands how they found them so quickly. A gun’s probably no problem for him but, a level 2 appears and kills the Broker.

Link moves in to take Timothy back, he can’t be gazed at by the level 2 for more than 6 seconds. Another two akumas appear. As he’s not an exorcist, he can’t really destroy them but, he’s powerful enough to take them out. He almost managed to do it but, the 6 seconds ability beat him.

Allen also seems to be losing against the level 4, no sign of the others.

I think Timothy will probably give some use to his powers and help them in the next chapter. I wonder if he can enter the mind of exorcists and akumas.

Resolve

Ikarugo manages to block the exit. He can also sleep through tight spaces, giving him the advantage he needs. The enemy didn’t know about this and ends up trapped. He eventually falls asleep because of the gas. But, Ikarugo doesn’t have the resolve to finish him.

Meanwhile, Morau finally makes a decision to release his prision. Is he going to fight now or just try to delay Pufu again?

Millennium Falcon Arc
Chapter of Falconia
Battlegrounds Of The Outcasts

Well, nothing much happening on this chapter. Just some battle art and the people’s first reaction to the fact that Griffith controls demons.

In the midst of all this, Sonya calls everyone a fool, I think. I guess what she means is that people should be ashamed of doubting Griffith just because he’s using demons or something like that. After all, he’s saving them and his demons are harming any innocent lives.

Ageha is taken to a weird dimension that seems like Nemesis Q "home". There, he learns what Elmore figured out and some more stuff.

So, Nemesis Q is a psi program after all. The psychicer who created him is from the future. He had psi powers that allowed him to travel through time and space. But, his body seems to be too weak, so he created Nemesis Q to travel instead of him. and try to prevent the curent future from happening. Nemesis Q has some intelligence but, he’s just a program. So, he instructed him to get some "collaborators", people worthy to help him. Also, the psychicer is afraid they will find him and destroy everything he’s been working for so, he instructed Nemesis Q to kill anyone who passes on information about him.

Was it Nemesis Q who wanted to show this to Ageha or was the psychicer himself? Anyway, Nemesis Q turns off the radio. Ageha wants to know more and is still pissed at him. He threatens Nemesis Q and prepares to attack him.

Meanwhile, Kagetora has followed the psychicer to his home base. It seems his Rise would be enough to kill them separetly but, the 3 psychicers combine their abilities and get Kagetora in a death trap..

It doesn’t seem like he’ll be able to get out of there but, I have some faith that Kagetora has something more than Rise up his sleeve. It would be very bad for a character as strong as him to die now. It would have been different is Ageha had gone with him.

Dregs Of Hypnosis

lol, I never thought my "Hinamori guess" would be right. She comes and helps Matsumoto. Still, the chapter’s name is related to hypnosis and Hinamori still says "Captain Aizen". So, maybe she’s still thinking he’s innocent and she’s lying. But, seeing how Gin and Aizen talked like she’s on Soul Society’s side now, then, she must really have finally understood she was tricked.

When she came to help Matsumoto, she left a kido net around her. Now that the 3 fraccion decided to attack at the same time, they all got trapped in it and Hinamori sends her zanpakutou’s attack through it.

Not only she hit all of them but, it seems the damage was greater. Although, I don’t believe they were all defeated just by that.

Familiar Love

Pride goes on the attack. His shadow is massive now that he has light. They have almost no chance against him. They can only dodge, except for all that can resist the attacks with his automail. Most of them are also hurt and can’t fight.

Hohenheim and All come with a plan. They fool Pride, making him believe that All was going to attack him from behind. Then Pride catches him focusing all his shadow on him, so he won’t lose grip even with a flash grenade. Then, Hohenheim quickly traps him using alchemy, even blocking the light.

Now, Pride is defenseless and All is trapped with him. They begin talking. Pride talks a little about himself, not sure if it’s true or he’s just trying to fool All into pitying him.

Greed, sees an opportunity to take over, now that most homunculus are gone. But, does he really think he can kill "father"? Or something like that?

Meanwhile, Kimblee is back on action. I have no idea what his orders are.
