... Distraction!
Goshdarnit. I finish my book, reload my friendslist and what's there? Hello, chapter 59. Fancy meeting you here.
Ishbal Flashback! Proper-type! Finally!
...
HUGHES!!! (I can't help it. I have been needing this backstory since... well, this time two years ago? (To be fair, at that point I hadn't started reading the manga yet, but I still wanted to know.) Even though I can't entirely make sense of things until there's a translation, but I can still look at the pictures. And I suppose the Hawkeye thing is explained now. Though, really, you shouldn't train your loaded gun on someone you're watching out for, ja? She's a sensible girl, wouldn't she know that? I think at this point, though, I'm just sad she's not playing the wrong side. That was such my favourite role for her. (We've already established that I'm evil, right?) Though, I suppose... no, with her backstory now, and her father being against the military this... this shoots everything all to heck, really. Though her grandfather's... gah. I'm going to have to sit down and work her out now. My guess right now is Roy didn't know she was there? Something something Hughes. Also Hughes!! Hehehe. Finally, he gets more time in the manga. And I can piece together more of his character. As if I haven't been doing enough of that already. Ooooh, backstory. Love.)
Also, anyone thinking Kimbley bears an odd resemblance to Ling? It's quite possible this is just me, but... hmmmmm. I can't imagine any sort of significance that'd have, but, well... interesting.
And young!Armstrong? I want to hug him. So badly.
I do have one complaint, though. GLACIER! IS STILL A FREAKING CHUNK OF ICE IN THE OCEAN. NOT. A. NAME. FOR. PEOPLE. Thank you.Too bad I can't read her maiden name there. Jones?
There's something about their expressions on page 27 that makes me go "hee" and then "wow, that guy's creepy."
This chapter's actually got me trying to piece together some kind of semi-translation for myself, but I think for right now, I'm just going to end up sitting here going "wow, are these kanji more complicated than usual?"
As a parting note, Tim Marcoh bites his nails.
Oh, and Kabuto? Why are you Scar's brother? And what interestingness are you cooking up?
Edit: I'm allowed to laugh at the wank going down about this chapter being boring, right? Because I am.

Ah... that could be her middle name. The rest of it looked so much like a scribble I think I disregarded it. Selective vision on my part. It's also rather long for Jones. Or Jane. Jessica? Janice? Except it looks like it starts with Jo and ends in a g. I think I'm going with C-scribblescribblescribble on the last name, because if it was a G, it'd look more like the G in
GlacierGracia (in theory). ^_^ I think, unfortunately, Glacier's always been canon. Or at least it was for the anime on the Japanese site. If there's one thing I don't mind them changing in the transition to English, it's her name. Because... Glacier. Gah. Whyyyy.Eeeee, HUGHES!

O rly? I didn't realize it was already Hard Canon, but there you go. I suppose I agree about the C for the last name, but now the name looks like Caveman, so let's move on. Jo___g...hm...it could also be Jo___y, I think, in which case Baby Names World.com says it could be Jonesy. Heh. Maybe it's Johnny.

Goshdarn Hard Canon. I actually still refuse to believe that the spelling didn't originate with the fansubbers, as ridiculous as that standpoint is. Because I like to believe only foolish fanboys with a detached (at best) grasp of actual English, despite being mostly native speakers, would come up with something like that. (-; "Hey, I can't tell what this guy's calling his wife. Sounds like it's got an r in it, which automatically means l... oh, must be Glacier."
