really good chapter. i totally enjoyed the action, even if it was pretty one sided with Envy getting destroyed ridiculously... The scene with Riza seeing through Envy's trick was my favorite. I also loved the brutal manipulation of information and how they used Bradley's wife as a pawn. Pretty smart, but what's going to happen when the Fuhrer shows up again?

Initially, I completely second the "christ, just let the man get his revenge if that's what he wants". One of the most overtouted anime/manga morality point is "revenge can only destroy a person". Now, I personally have never had such a burning desire for revenge, let alone one I would have made good on, but, seriously, it can't always be bad to bring people to justice, is it? (there's that word again). After all, Envy has gleefully mass-murdered and enjoys tormenting people. Wouldn't his death be the best thing?

But something got me thinking... A ways back, after Gluttony was killed the first time, Father simply recreated him. Father also made a point of recycling Greed so that he could make another Greed. Envy already squirmed his way out of being captured once, so part of me thinks it's absolutely idiotic to ever give him that chance again, but another part of me wonders if perhaps keeping him alive will somehow prevent Father from "recreating" him?

Or does it not work like that? Father recycle old Greed to make new Greed, but he seemed to just make Gluttony anew from his own body... But if he can just remake the dead Homunculi, why hasn't he remade Lust yet? Or has he and they're just saving her for some future "Fuck you good guys, thought you had a handle on it but one Homunculus isn't dead after all!" moment?
