the “the colonel calls me riza when we’re alone” scene is/was.. lifechanging tbh
lest anyone forget this iconique moment
“Now do me a favor and die” is such a powerful statement.
one of the unwritten rules of comics is that you don’t want to put a speech bubble over a character’s face, but leave it to Arakawa to know the mood of that scene called for breaking the rules to make that panel layout even stronger.

i love that after all these years we’re still analyzing the most subtle details of FMA. Arakawa is such a literary and visual genius and the fact that her series has stood the tests of time and is still one of the greatest things written is a testament of that fact
