Yep ! After 4 years it was really tiring to go through this with them every time . <| sep |> thats a shame . dude was having a breakout year too <| sep |> Are you really criticizing an 8 yearold for playing less efficiently than you ? <| sep |> Hey ! Look who just had a growth spurt ! First time FMAB watcher but have read the manga many times It ' s been awhile and I ' m trying to figure out if I ' m remembering wrong but FMA potential spoilers or maybe just my bad memoryhead canons I swear that I remember that Ed ' s growth and aging was due to him using some of his life energy to heal the wound he got from Kimblee . That was why he wasn ' t recognized by the soldier on his return as blond , red jacket , and short . But I ' ve been reading along with the manga , albeit a different scanlation than before , and there was no mention as to his aging . Am I just remembering incorrectly and it ' s just due to the passage of time ?
