鋼の錬金術師 [Hagane no Renkinjutsushi] #23
Çelik Simyacı, Cilt 23
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.

JUST KISS ALREADY IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK
November 6, 2019
Numero super interessante e profondo in questo caso per il personaggio del colonnello Mustang, uno dei personaggi più interessanti e ricchi di sfaccettature della serie. Lo amo.
Lo vediamo soffrire, arrabbiarsi, abbandonarsi alla vendetta e prendere quasi la strada sbagliata. Grazie all'intervento di Edward e Riza egli invece cambierà la via su cui stava procedendo, rimanendo fedele ai suoi principi e valori. Perché nella vita non è mai troppo tardi per cambiare la strada che si sta percorrendo.

« Then instead of using it for yourselves, use it to protect this world ».
Me queda nada, solo algunos tomos para terminarlo. La verdad, necesité este pequeño descanso, pero ya estoy en el clímax final y no debo parar, no cuando las cosas van a llegar a su fin. Además, este tomo está lleno de acción y el dibujo es sublime. No tengo nada más que decir.

The longer this series goes on, the less I am interested in Edward and Alphonse Elric, and it's starting to seem that even the author feels the same way as side characters Olivier Mira Armstrong, Riza Hawkeye, and Izumi Curtis get all the good bits this time around. So many strong female characters! The body count is starting to rise, and I worry that all the best characters may be seen as expendable when the Elric doofuses would be easier to part with.

This was honestly a whirlwind of a volume where when I finished, I just sat there and tried to give my brain some time process everything I read.
I would say there is a lot going on, and while there IS a lot going on, I don't think it takes away from the story. I think its just there are SO many high stakes and some of the stakes in this volume far exceeded anything I expected.
A fantastic example of this was Roy. I don't even know where to begin or even what to say because that was such a dangerous road he could have taken. And for all the irritation between Edward and Roy, I LOVED seeing Ed step in and reach out to his friend. That whole conversation they have and what Edward says about Envy really made me feel teary-eyed for a moment. It was extremely moving and makes me thankful for the compassion he has.
The fight scenes, especially with the Armstrongs, were incredible! I really really enjoyed seeing the Armstrongs kick butt together and also see some "kindness" shown from Major General. Also the Briggs are AWESOME!! They are some of the coolest military in this whole series and hope we see more of them!
OH! I got so caught up in the middle and end that I almost forgot about the beginning!! Al is the man!! That was a very much edge-of-the-seat battle/moment that left me also loving Al's character even more! Seriously, just because he is "soft-hearted" does not mean he is weak. His conversation with Kimblee was so on point! (Granted, he didn't say that, but I feel his actions and how he tells Kimblee there are more then two options was so good!)
Another exceptional and well done volume!!

This one was epic and is just the final battle between all of the forces! First its Al vs pride and Red Lotus guy, meanwhile Ed and Scar are fighting artificial humans when Roy comes in and there is this amazing part where they have to fight Envy and thats the best part of this volume and I love the development of Roys character here and Ed's action! And then the coup happening in Central with the Briggs and Sloth vs Armstrong family!
So many elements coming together and becoming this big and well epic story and also I am loving the political intrigue and public revelations that changes the fate of the country going forward in a big way and the art is good as always! A must read!

The Battle at Central City rages on and Arakawa got it all covered at all fronts - from efficiently giving sufficient time for each skirmish to shine, to the emotional beats that touches on friendship and morality, to even the media coverage and public perception on what is going on inside the city. The readers are made sure that they are given the full literary experience. When Arakawa said that the next volumes comprise the final stretch, she meant it. She is not holding back anymore. And we absolutely dig it.

Everybody fight!
The highlight of this volume is of course the long-awaited confrontation - and conflagration - between Mustang and Envy. A lot has been said about it, I'm sure: the sheer badassery of it, the righteous burning rage, how Envy is reduced to whining abject terror, Hawkeye's amazing bluff - and how the whole thing was actually not supposed to be awesome at all, how Mustang is brought right back from the brink, ending in a heartwarming display of friendship and redemption and people moving on. And Envy can't take it.
One thing I can bring up, though, that I'm not sure many have: Lust was just as much involved in Hughes's death, and had he been any slower on the draw, would have been the one to catch him. It's all too common with these vengeance stories that the hurt party only seeks out and punishes the most direct perpetrator, then calls it a day... but earlier, Roy caught Lust as well! He was much more thorough about it than most folks! I'm not sure if Arakawa made it this way on purpose, though the narrative itself brings no attention to it: I like to think that she did.
Alphonse gets to be a badass as well, holding off another powerful alchemist and a Homunculus, all by himself. You point out that he has the Philosopher's Stone, and I retort that so does Kimbly, so it all evens out. It was much more conventionally badass without raising any big questions about vengeance or whatever, although I would have preferred either Scar or Edward to face Kimbly in the end, since they had more emotional stakes with him. Can't have everything, I guess - those two were busy elsewhere at the time.
Finally, Armstrong at last gets to purify himself out of his cowardice, while his sister shows some quick thinking and badassery of her own when the puppet soldiers show up. I wonder how they were so quick to sentence her to death, though: you'd think these things would take days, if not weeks.

HOT DAMN this was full of some fast-paced shit! But honestly the highlight of this volume was Roy Mustang and his struggle with all-consuming revenge. It was so powerful to see a character who is normally really composed break down. But it was also really nice to see the other characters completely support him and have his back and all that naww.

Everyone is in the thick of battle now and all of the characters are really showing what they are capable of under pressure. Alphonse has to face a difficult moral decision in his battle against Pride. Various others in this city either face off against the zombie army within or wage an information campaign without to get the people of Central city to understand they are under attack from their own government. But the main focus of this volume is the showdown between Mustang and Hughes’s murderer Envy.
I love how there is still character development happening even this late in the series. It is never too late to grow or change or have a new side of yourself be shown in impossible and highly charged circumstances. The choices that the characters are forced to make and the growing that results was not just emotionally charged and beautifully drawn but it was realistic as well.
Things are getting violent and almost gory here leading up to the end but I couldn't help noticing that amongst the gore and all of the fighting over and over again the faces of these characters remains the main focus, what they feel and experience and how this is changing them as they fight to save Amestris and their lives. This battle is not over yet.

The fact that Envy is jealous of how human beings can persist and rely on each other, and his true form consists of hundreds of souls that literally power/"support" him? Even his ability to shapeshift into anyone and how he always tries to start conflict?? His character is written so well WHAT??? 😧 Everything about him screams mimicry; all he can do is imitate the one thing he can't have or ruin it for others out of jealousy.
And Roy Mustang's moral dilemma? Don't even get me STARTED.

An intensely heavy volume filled with crucial battles and a character-development arc for Mustang that makes for an exciting finale for some characters. The pacing is cranked up beyond anything seen previously by mangaka Hiromu Arakawa but the direction is crystal clear. It's time for the big day!

Again we get to see the combined strength of human beings going toe to toe with the monstrous Homunculus. This time Alphonse escapes barely from Pride. And Mustang finally comes face to face with Envy. He is blinded with the flame of revenge burning within him. Only Edward Elric and Liza Hawkeye can bring him back from falling into the dark pit of hatred. Envy is the most ugly emotion and his deepest darkest secret is finally revealed.

Envy... you're just jealous of us. Humans are supposed to be so much weaker than you homunculi, but no matter how often we get beaten down, become discouraged, lose our way, come close to failing, and even if we know that it's for superficial reasons, we keep fighting on. We find strength in each other.

The final chapter in this volume is so good not leastly because of all the dramatic closeups of Envy's true form.

Love this volume. Roy and Riza moments were amazing. Even the part where Roy wanted a revenge of Hughes. Finally Envy is gone/

Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 23 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next four chapters (92–95) of the on-going manga series with a bonus chapter.
Alphonse Elric uses the Philosopher's Stone to fight Solf J. Kimblee and Pride. He eventually gives it to Tim Marcoh who heals Heinkel, allowing him to bite Kimblee's neck through a surprise attack. After Alphonse and the others escape from Pride, the homunculus decides to absorb the dying Kimblee.
Edward Elric's gang encounters Envy shortly before Roy Mustang arrives and destroys the attacking puppets. Envy reveals himself as Hughes' murderer, causing Mustang to lose control and incinerate him until he returns to his parasitic form. Before Mustang kills Envy, Scar, Edward and Riza Hawkeye convince him not to let his desire for revenge control him. Jealous with the humans' way to put aside their differences, Envy commits suicide.
In Central, Olivier Mira Armstrong is attacked by Sloth and soldiers working for Father, but is aided by Alex Louis Armstrong, her brother. The solders ally with the Armstrong siblings to fight Sloth, but only Alex is able to continue holding off Sloth. At the same time, the Briggs soldiers manage to break into Central Headquarters, with help from Izumi Curtis.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Hiromu Arakawa. The battle with the homunculi continues with only the group of Edward Elric only successful in killing Envy, in which he ultimately kills himself, because he doesn’t understand humanity. Alphonse Elric managed to escape from Pride, which gets more powerful as he absorbs Solf J. Kimblee and Sloth continues his attacks on Central.
All in all, Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 23 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems really intriguing and I can't wait to read more.

The battles in and around Central City continue unabated. Alphonse Elric has a philosopher's stone which he uses to fight Pride and Kimblee rather than restore his normal body. The Elric brothers are heroes, after all. Speaking of siblings, Major General Armstrong is finally reunited with her brother Alex in a massive battle against the homunculus Sloth and the forces of the president. Ed, Scar, and a handful of others take on Envy. All the while, the homunculi's "father" is waiting below Central City for the big confrontation.
This is another exciting volume. The action is almost non-stop but the author still has time to advance the story and show the depth of the characters.
