Fat people with candysoda etc . Sure , on the off chance that this is the first soda they drink in a week , I ' m a douche for judging , but odds are against them . Saw a fat woman run to make the bus , she comes in all sweaty completely out of breath from that 200 meter run , with one of those energy drinks in her hand , a super large one . And then she had to get off at the next fucking stop . Like 1 km away tops . Made me angry inside . <| sep |> Why does everyone insist that you have to meditate then <| sep |> And the hype train is here . I ' ve got to say though , it ' s annoying how inconsistent they are with the Previously Ons . Regardless , we ' re almost at the Promised Day , and Ed and Al are going to have one hell of a fight ahead of them . CharactersEdward ElricEd arrives in Kanama with Greed , Darius and Heinkel in toe , and meets up with his dear father . Of course , he is more than happy to take the opportunity to let up some pent up teenage angst and throw his father a good dozen feet . Given what he ' s put up with fair enough . He also gets caught up in the life and times of Van Hohenheim , and is quite shocked by everything he hears . Given the opportunity to use Hohenheim as a way to get his and Al ' s bodies back , he outright rejects it because it ' s their own fault that they lost them . He takes complete responsibility for his mistakes and isn ' t willing to sacrifice anything , even souls that are doomed anyway , to fix it . He may have a change of heart when he sees that Al is losing his grip on his body though . He also finally gives Hohenheim Trisha ' s last words , and seems to be at least somewhat moved seeing his father cry . Ed has also taken the time to make himself a new robe , and I ' m really excited to see him donning it again . He holds up decently against Pride , and then makes a big play by eliminating all of the surrounding light . How exactly ? Hard to say , but it shows us that his alchemy has progressed a fair bit since his time in the north . HohenheimIf nothing else , Hohenheim was a good sport about being punched in the face by his son . He ' s pretty calm about Greed being a Homunculus , but I guess having him tagging along with Ed is probably enough for him to at least sort of trust the guy . Hohenheim offers Ed a way to get his body back , and is proud that Ed refuses the option . I ' m still not overly fond of Hohenheim , but there has been a good effort lately to really humanize him . This really came through when Ed gives Hohenheim Trisha ' s last words . Him reflecting on Trisha was nice . I certainly wish things could have worked out better for their relationship , but I think that when you ' ve lived as long as Hohenheim has you need to be able to appreciate the moments that were good even when you know they won ' t last . He certainly hasn ' t had it easy , but I he still has a chance to make things work with his sons . GreedLingEven though he says he ' s the captain of this sinking ship I get the feeling that he only is in title , and that Ed is taking the lead on a good chunk of the work they ' ve been doing . Greed is pretty evasive about why he is so willing to come back to Central , but it seems like it ' s bigger than wanting to settle the score with the other Homunculi . Maybe he plans on starting his whole ruling the world plan here , though that would be an odd choice when it would be easier to do in Xing . Ling is also able to take over briefly after sensing that Pride is inside of Al ' s body . He gets to go in again to fight against Gluttony . We also see that Ling can regrow limbs . I ' m not sure if the same is true for Bradley , but who knows . With Ling at the helm , he does some good work on Gluttony , and we see that him and Greed actually get along well enough . I really want to see them chatting more . Darius and HeinkelWhile it was definitely a lot for Ed to take in , listening to Hohenheim ' s life story , I think it must be even crazier for these two since they don ' t know about a lot of specifics that Ed would already be aware of . While I get where they are coming from when talking to Ed about making up with Hohenheim , it ' s certainly a lot more complicated than the way they make it out . I certainly don ' t blame Ed for not wanting to work with Hohenheim , and I think they ' re oversimplifying the problem . Later , they both say that they don ' t mind their current bodies , which suggests they are in this to help save Amestris . Heinkel is also one of the few people who has gone toetotoe with a Homunculus so far , though he does have the advantage of Pride being utterly useless right now . Darius also does decent against Gluttony until he punches Ed in the stomach . Alphonse ElricWell , Al starts off in the Portal , or wherever it is he winds up when he loses control of his body , with creepy Mikoto Misaka whispering about the plans that the Homunculi have for him . Fun stuff . When his body gets dragged out to meet Ed , it ' s pretty clearly his voice , not Pride ' s , speaking to Ed . I ' m not sure exactly how that works , but it ' s pretty uncomfortable . PrideAll the eyes are usually pretty creepy , but it ' s even worse when all the eyes are showing through the armor slits . He shows just how powerful he is when he puts himself in a good position , quickly starting to wear down both Greed and Ed . Still , both are quick and able to hold him off in the short term . We see Ed make a pretty smooth play though , and really show us Pride ' s biggest weakness . In the darkness he can ' t do anything because he needs light in order to create shadows . Ed taking that away GluttonyGluttony is still with Pride as it turns out , and was the way that Pride tracked them down . He ' s kind of a clutz in the dark , and watching him trip on that tree was hilarious . Even though he can smell them , he still only knows where they are and seems to struggle with knowing his actual surroundings . Ling is able to do some good work on him , and it seems things are just getting worse for Gluttony as things come to a close . Lan FanShe ' s back , and being a complete and utter badass . She doesn ' t seem to have a sword , but the elbow blade more than makes up for that . She makes one hell of an entrance and it can be assumed that if she ' s around that Fuu isn ' t far behind . In the EastSo Bradley ' s body hasn ' t been found , but if he ' s anything like Lust he would literally disintegrate . Of course , he ' s not quite the same , so who knows what would happen to him . We also see some tension building between Grumman and Miles . Grumman has some thoughts about taking over , but it seems like they were actually Miles ' s thoughts on what Grumman is thinking , not what he ' s actually thinking . Regardless , I get a bad feeling about it . There ' s going to be some kind of friction between the north and east before it ' s all over . Other Thoughts RWBY V 4 Spoilerss It ' s been a good week for female characters in shows I ' m watching getting robotic armsFutureWell , tomorrow things will inevitably pick back up with the fight against Pride and Gluttony . The lights will probably be restored in Kanama soon enough , so Lan Fan and Ling need to deal with Gluttony quickly . Fuu should be around to help out as well , so I ' m optimistic that they can at least put him in a difficult position . Pride is another matter though , and if they don ' t deal with him quickly I don ' t know how they will . It ' s worth mentioning that Hohenheim is also around , so maybe he can intervene with some new approach to defeat Pride . He might be able to control light sources more effectively than Ed can , so that ' s an option . Elsewhere , we don ' t know what Mustang ' s planning just yet , but I could see him going the route of trying to create some panic within the higher ups . If he could isolate a few of them he could get information out of them and have the others panic as they realize people are going missing . With there already being a lot of tension amongst the generals after Wrath died I could see this pushing some of them over the edge . Grumman may also be trying to get himself into a good position , or maybe Miles is just paranoid . Regardless , something is going to happen between the east and north that could screw up everyone ' s plans . Hopefully no one does anything too rash . Final ThoughtsI ' m excited to see how Pride and Gluttony are handled . The way I see it , one of them will probably die in the next episode or two with the other escaping . Gluttony makes sense as the one to die , since I could see Pride sacrificing him so that he can get away himself . We ' re just hours away from the Promised Day , and I ' m really excited to see what that means .
