鋼の錬金術師 [Hagane no Renkinjutsushi] #17
Çelik Simyacı, Cilt 17
En çok istedikleri şeye sahip olabilmek için amatörce yöntemleriyle bu gücü elde etmeye çalıştıklarında, iki kardeş olan Edward ve Alphonse Elric’ten biri kolunu ve bir bacağını kaybetmiş, diğeri de yaşayan bir çelik parçasının içine tıkılıp kalmış bir ruha dönüşüvermiştir. Edward artık bir hükûmet ajanıdır ve askerî bir simya tesisinde çalışmaktadır. Benzersiz güçlerini emirlere uymak, hatta öldürmek için kullanır. Ancak Edward, başkalarının da aynı güçlere sahip olduğunun farkında değildir.
Simyanın aşırı kullanımı sonucunda dünya âdeta bir cehenneme döner. En değerli simya hazinesi Felsefe Taşı’nı ele geçirmeye çabalayan düşmanları, kahramanlarımızdan çok daha zalim ve acımasızdırlar.
Ed Resembool’a döner ve yıllardır görmediği babası Hohenheim ile karşılar. Babası onu görmekten mutlu olmasına rağmen, Ed onları bırakıp gittiği için babasına karşı büyük bir öfke duyar. Ancak Ed’in babasına duyduğu bu yoğun öfke yıllar önce teşebbüs ettikleri insan dönüşümü hakkında önemli bir gerçeği keşfetmelerini sağlar. Annelerini kısmen dirilttiklerini düşünürken aslında yaptıklarının bambaşka bir şey olduğunu anlarlar ki bu, kaderlerini sonsuza kadar değiştirebilecek bir keşiftir.

June 22, 2024I'm upset! So very upset I don't think I can rate this volume, so I'll only review it.
I'm so upset I even failed to recognise the only Deadly Sin yet to be shown, Sloth, whom I brightly dismissed as "some dumb homunculus" on sight. In my defence, he really is dumb as rocks! A juiced-up beefcake bodybuilding champ has more braincells than this Sin. At least Gluttony was sweet in his own naïve murderer way, but Sloth is utterly dumb. What did they make him from? A selection of the stupidest citizens' souls?
Goodness, I miss Lust and Greed...
I'm so upset I also failed to notice I was served yet another of my hats to eat when Major General Iron Barbie becomes a serious competition to Mustang and, to make it harder for me, she gets rid of the same old chap that blew up Mustang's plan in a previous volume. Sure, the idea was Edward's, but Major General Iron Barbie pulled it out smoothly on her own. And she protects the equivalent to mischlinge, as she has quarter-Ishbalan officers in her troops. I might have to learn to care about her, after all.
She could get a better hairdo, though! And as consolation for this hat to eat, I still don't care for Pinky Plant Ladyboy Alchemist, he can go get Polar-beared like Sloth for all I care. 'Tis a pity Scar didn't off him.
Speaking of, it might be just the trope, but has anyone noticed the Arya/The Hound undertones in the May Chang/Scar duo? If The Hound had taken the other Stark sister, heh, because May is such a Sansa (until it's time to fight). May both soothes and nurtures Scar's murder-machine tendencies, and helps him in the fray. I was right in guessing she'd be instrumental to his redemption. What's up with little girls changing big scary warrior guys with facial scars?
So, what am I upset about? It's a big spoiler, so I'll only say that it has to do with the paternity of the Elric boys, and it's your choice to read further down if you don't want to learn any more that might be spoilerish. My first guess was correct, to a point, but I didn't expect the bomb they dropped on us in this volume. Second time I almost threw my Kindle out the window...
But this is one revelation that, if not explained properly and convincingly, can threaten the series for me. Are you familiar with the "Tyrion Targaryen" theory from the ASOIAF fandom? It's a theory most fans don't like, because of how it'd torpedo a key theme in the character's arc, who has a very fraught relationship with his abusive and domineering father. If it turns out he isn't the real father, it changes everything for that character, and not in a positive way.
I'm not saying the equivalence is one-on-one, but the situation is similar. I'm not happy, I would've preferred that the boys' father wasn't who he's been revealed to be here. It would be so much more fitting thematically and narratively that he was who and what he appeared to be until now. The Elrics are genius boys, one-in-a-billion child prodigies, and them being purely human and non-superpowered was al the more fitting given that they're facing the powerful Deadly Sins, who aren't human and have superpowers. For them mere human brats to defeat arrogant demigodly beings that underestimate humanity whilst desperately desiring to be able to create humans like God is perfect, literally and metaphorically, and even theologically.
But if their father is who it has been shown to be... Then all that changes. Superman has human parents, but he's still Kal-El and gets it all from Jor-El even if the Kents raised him and he owes the Kents everything but the superpowers of his blood. In the same vein, if the Elrics get their superior genius and abilities from their true father being who he is, then they are no longer Bruce Wayne using his very human resources and very human brains and very human skills, and turn into Ed-El and Al-El.
And I'm very, very, very unhappy with this. I can't stress enough how unhappy. I'm going to withhold judgment until I know more, but I'm serious when I say this plot point can ruin the entirety of Fullmetal Alchemist for me.
I'm just that much of a stickler for thematic symmetry.

"I told you I don’t want your charm. Any chair that would seat your rotten ass isn’t fit for me to crap on…you wrinkled bastard!"
Ms Amstrong quiero ser amiga tuya o estar a tus órdenes. Me da igual lo uno o lo otro. Eres una diosa y te mereces un altar en este manga.
"Please stay a part of this family. Don’t isolate yourself and become distant and please don’t hurt yourself with labels like « monster »"
Esta entrega no se ha ganado las cinco estrellas porque me ha parecido aún un tomo de transición. Además, la mitad del manga han sido batallas "insignificantes" seguido de nuevo de pequeñas incógnitas para los tomos siguientes. Eso sí, si hubiera tenido más flashbacks de cierto personaje me hubiera planteado subirle la puntuación.
"Just a little longer…"

Okey doke, someone needs to say it.
OLIVIER MIRA ARMSTRONG KICKS ASS.
Seriously. FFFFF MADE OF WIN WOMAN.
Actually, pretty much all of Arakawa's heroines kick ass one way or another.
Olivier: Big bad boss lady of the toughest fighting force in the country. As tough or tougher than her body-builder younger brother.
Riza: Sharpshooter, brave as all git out, and known for saving her Colonel's life several times.He's totally her Colonel, too. Don't you ever tell me their love isn't canon.
Izumi: Amazing alchemy teacher, survived a month on Mount Briggs, and can whup both Ed and Al at the same time in a fight? Awesomeness is self-evident.
Winry: Aside from being an amazing automail mechanic, she has incredible personal strength. Putting up with Ed for that long- girl deserves a medal.
Gracia: Don't get me started. Mostly because there are spoilers involved. But she is so wonderful, really. What an amazing mom.
Mrs. Bradley: Anyone who's read V. 25 knows why she kicks ass. Will not spoil here.
Lust: Dude, Ultimate freakin' Lance. And gorgeous. She could have been shown as an evil worthless skank, but she was actually awesomely evil for reasons other than her appearance, despite what her name would suggest.
Let me see... who'd I miss? Pinako, Hoenheim's old drinking buddy who's basically the Elrics' rock and was apparently quite the 'tigress' in her younger years... Rebecca, Riza's friend, who's spectacularly loyal as well as deadly- and funny!
Oh yeah.
MARIA FREAKING ROSS. Her appearance in the final battle. CROWNING MOMENT OF AWESOME. SO DAMN MUCH.
And Trisha. Poor, poor, wonderful Trisha. I kinda cried when Hoenheim remembered her in Brotherhood.
And there are certainly more that I've forgotten. Lan Fan, May Chang, etcetera...
So. Female characters in FMA. Made of win.
Feeling depressed after reading another YAPNR with a heroine who's Too Stupid To Live? Pick up a volume of this series or start watching Brotherhood. You'll feel better.

Even if I stop praising this series for working like a lovely whole in which everything fits together quite well, there's still a lot left to love in this volume alone: the eldest Armstrong sister is tough and clever and gives the impression of someone who can wipe the floor with her enemies.
Strong characters, mayhem and new allies. Got to love what's going on here.

Moral ambiguity is a tricky thing to pull off. Great many authors do it for its own sake - purely to make their work more "mature" or whatever - and end up with every character, villain and hero alike, an unlikeable and uninteresting asshole. They try too hard, and are too focused with the modern idea that nihilism and cynicism are the adult thing to do, and that idealism is for kids.
I don't think Hiromu Arakawa even tried to be morally ambiguous at all. She just wanted to portray a wide cast of sympathetic and reasonable people, each with their own goals and motivations and means to pull it through. And in so doing, she nails it.
You've got genuinely heroic and idealistic main characters, whom you want to follow and see them succeed and attain their goals; a bunch of irredeemable douchenoggets as villains, whose inevitable demise we all root for yet who also manage to be interesting and entertaining in their own right; and then the rest just falling somewhere in between, their traits and priorities and allegiances told to use clearly, their sordid pasts laid open, yet their ultimate moralities and redeemability open for interpretation.
I bring this up here because Major General Armstrong pretty much encompasses this ideal: she sits almost exactly in the middle, being scary and pragmatic yet seemingly benevolent in the end, brutal yet not without standards, and it's genuinely ambiguous which side she will fall in the end. Is she going to fall and join the villains, becoming a truly terrifying new asset for them? Or will she stick with her ideals and lean to the side of light? We don't know yet!
On a minor note, in the previous volume Miles appreciated that Edward did not pity him, in spite of his past, and treated him as an equal. Kimbly gives him the same courtesy here, but it does not come across nearly as nice. Just something that caught my eye.

Things are heating up and I'm 100% for it!
Seriously, the Armstong siblings are EPIC and will never get over how cool they are! Major General Armstong definitely shows she is no helpless woman and really knows how to make the most of every situation. She is also far from heartless and LOVE seeing her team up with the Elric brothers, especially with Raven around! I was all for her actions and just like "Let's see it again next volume!!!"
I continue to not like Kimblee. What a horrible character! He's wayyyyyy too good at what he does and cannot stand how he relishes in evil. The last pages has me worried and just like "King Bradley stop bending the Elric brothers' arms behind their backs!!"
I can't believe how wrong I have been about the Elric brothers' father! *sobs* I really had compassion for him and seems like he is NOTHING what I have thought him to be before this. I hope there will be a good redeeming arc for him!
The thing in the tunnel was creepy! *shivers* That is all.
Another great volume!

Olivier Mira Armstrong is proving a welcome addition to an already overstuffed cast list (over 110 recurring series characters, with a running character count for this volume of 30). This go-round is an emotional and action-filled rollercoaster with epic battles, spooky tunnels, bloody conspiracies, and dire threats all set at a frozen border fortress in the north. Game of Thrones influence showing maybe?
September 8, 2021
Things get shaken up a bit in this action-packed volume. Lots of insane over-the-top action and some intrigue that help move the general plot forward. Everyone now has a better idea of what's going on but they don't know how or when it'll all go down.

Kuzeyde işler biraz daha farklı. Tümgeneral Armstrong'u çok sevdim, iyi bir değişiklik oldu seriye. Serinin aslında çok daha derin bir hikayesi var ve bu giderek daha da netleşiyor, doğal olarak benim merakımı daha da çok cezbediyor.
March 10, 2022
Los hermanos Elric le cuentan la verdad a Armstrong y luchan juntos para detener al nuevo homúnculo que los persiguió hasta el norte. Poco a poco somos conscientes de que el ejército ha estado contaminado desde el inicio y que no les importa matar a quien sea si eso significa mostrar su poderío.
De hecho, descubren que a lo largo de la historia ha habido ataques donde incontables personas han muerto, y todo orquestado de tal manera cada uno de esos lugares es un punto crucial en un círculo mágico gigantesco. ¿La finalidad? Obtener los poderes de la piedra filosofal, es decir, la inmortalidad.
El padre de Edward y Alphonse, como habíamos visto anteriormente, es el responsable de los homúnculos que tenían nombre de pecados capitales, así que no puedo creer que sus motivos sean algo tan simple como dice.
Si bien la serie está llena de temas importantes y no tanto para adolescentes, lo cierto es que ya voy a más de la mitad de la historia y sigue sin encantarme. Hay algo que nada más no hace click conmigo, pero no sé qué es. Al menos me da gusto que no tengo que gastar porque una amiga me está prestando sus volúmenes.
Este volumen incluye los capítulos 66 – 69.

EN RESUMEN
Los soldados en Briggs y los hermanos Elric se enfrentan al homúnculo Sloth.
ACLARACIÓN
Todos estos puntos están de alguna forma influenciados por conocimientos y opiniones que ya tenía sobre la historia gracias a la adaptación del anime, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
ASPECTOS POSITIVOS
- Un Scar que está lentamente alejándose de su sed de venganza para convertirse en una mejor versión de sí mismo es un Scar que me encanta.
- Toda esa escena inicial de acción entre Olivier y sus soldados de Briggs contra Sloth sirvió para demostrarnos el poder que tienen los del norte y como se mueven en comparación con loa militares de otras partes. Y Olivier Mira Armstrong es todo lo que está bien en este mundo. Gracias por tanto, perdón por tan poco.
-
- La forma en la que Arakawa va revelando todo. Con calma y creando el suspenso necesario. Nada es al pedo, todo tiene un por qué y un sentido.
-
-
ASPECTOS NEGATIVOS
- Nada.
CONCLUSIÓN
El tomo 17 de Fullmetal Alchemist te mantiene pegado a sus páginas con un ritmo constante y giros en cada esquina. Con solo dos tomos, la estadía de Ed y Al en el norte y en Briggs está entregando mucha más intriga y desarrollo que cualquier otro.

I mean the scope of things now is just terrifying... it started as a story of two brothers, who were trying to undo a mistake they made, but now it so much more and it keeps growing, and i fear to what consequences it can lead. I need to finish this manga, only then i can rest.

Bellissimo lo scontro fra il generale maggiore Olivier Milla Armstrong e i suoi vs Sloth! che tra l’altro crea fiducia reciproca con i due fratelli Elric… e il piano dei cattivoni ormai è chiaro.
Intanto Zolf J. Kimbly, una mina vagante, è ancora a caccia di Scar.

You don't want to mess with Olivier. That's for sure. That ending. Wow. It's getting real.
September 30, 2020
Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 17 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next four chapters (66–69) of the on-going manga series.
The Elric brothers, along with the soldiers of Briggs, fight Sloth and manage to freeze him. Edward and Alphonse tell Major General Olivier Mira Armstrong all about the homunculi and ask for her help to protect the hostages they have secretly taken. They then discover that Sloth has been digging a tunnel around Amestris so that Father can transmute the entire country.
Meanwhile, Major Solf J. Kimblee searches for and battles Scar. Kimblee is defeated, but is healed by a doctor with a Philosopher's Stone. After recovering, he meets with General Raven who has also been sent to Briggs to talk with Olivier. Raven arrives at Briggs and asks Olivier to join the homunculi, but she instead kills him.
When Bradley discovers that the Elric brothers are in Briggs, he orders Kimblee to take Winry Rockbell to Briggs.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Hiromu Arakawa. The three different narratives continue to merge ever so closer as all things leads to Briggs. The battle between the Elric brothers and Sloth is concluded with also Scar surviving the assassination attempt from Major Solf J. Kimblee. The tankōbon closes with Kimblee being order to bring Winry Rockbell to Briggs where the Elric brothers are currently.
All in all, Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 17 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems really intriguing and I can't wait to read more.

Los Elric continúan en las tierras del norte, dónde encontrarán un nuevo Homúnculo con una misión misteriosa. Al mismo tiempo, la general Amstrong, junto a su cuadrilla, se enfrentarán al general Briggs y contraatacarán a nivel táctico. La ‘nueva cuadrilla’ conocerá el verdadero alcance del Genocidio histórico y el futurible (con el ejercito que se está creando). Sabremos más acerca del padre de los Al y Edward.
Por otro lado, la alianza Mei, Scar y doctor sigue adelante, ocultándose y dando pistas acerca de la Alquimia a distancia.
Un número plagado de giros y acción táctica de contraataque, con información vital argumental de base y de desarrollo futuro. Otro notable volumen, pese a su enredo y redundancia en ciertos aspectos

This one was pretty good!
As Al and Ed are in Briggs trying to find out who this homunculus is they battle it but then they have to explain to Mira their real motives but then Lt. Raven and Red Lotus Kimblee come in and they have their own agenda to carry out the destruction of Briggs and so all have to play the part and lure them but then in the end big things happen, betrayal, double crossing and all but then again they have got a big card up their sleeve and Red Lotus has someone close to Al. What will he do next?
This was a great volume and just shows the escalation of personal battles, the big twists and turns, the real plans of the bad guys and finally challenges Ed and Al in a big way plus the art was pretty good for the most part.

March 2, 2024Alfons i Edvard su na kratkoj pauzi, jer u ovom broju u prvom planu dominira Olivija Mira Armstrong - ledena kraljica sa severa koja pravda sve glasine koje kruže o njoj. Tu je i novi, brutalni homunkul - LENJOST, koji (ironično) ne može da prestane sa konstantnim radom! On sobom nosi nove, mračne i za celokupnu priču ključne tajne za koje jedva čekam da vidim kako će se razvijati! Možda je ovaj broj bio malo mirniji ali je zato konačno obistinio srž same priče (bez spojlera!!!). Potraga za kamenom mudrosti je upravo postala značajno opasnija i napetija!
“Alhemija naše zemlje koristi ogromnu energiju koja nastaje kao posledica promene kretanja zemljine kore. Iznenađujuće je to što su osnovne formule koje se koriste ustanovljene pre više od 350 godina.”

I love the north arc. Especially the beginning in Briggs. So many cool things go down. There's this feeling of tension building up throughout the whole arc. So many moments and lines of dialogue just scream "The end is creeping closer" and it's all so thrilling and eerie. The intrigue of the Homunculi's plans, and just the general tone of the Briggs content is very dark and mysterious. I can't say enough how much I love this story. 😭😂
