Talk:Scar

Scars real name is Al...it was said only once in a flashback when his brother died and he got his arm.216.195.194.178 16:59, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

No, it isn't. Or if it is, absolutely nothing of his name has been confirmed yet. Personally, I'd love it if he and his brother had Ishvalan versions of Edward and Alphonse as names and it would be incredibly fitting...but until such time as this is confirmed, it can't be included as canon here. And the flashback didn't confirm that, it's just rumor. CorbeauKarasu 18:13, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Exactly what is it that suggests Scar can throw a man over fourteen feet? I don't remember anything from the anime (and certainly not from the manga) that implied or stated this... CorbeauKarasu 12:59, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

i am pretty sure that this is just an assumption on the part of the person who last edited this article, because it has never been mentioned in the anime nor the manga. 75.152.236.211 03:25, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Scars other arm
Okay i was able to partially translate some of scars creation arm. the word "ignis" was found, which means fire. but another word i saw, "celas", is esperanto meaning to aim, or with intent. while an arabic word similar to it caelas means, stop it/ break it up. anybody have any better picture of the tattoo. this page has the best pic of it ive seen.

Parts of the arm are not translatable so far, but you should look at the images from the Ishval flashbacks of his brother's tattoo. the important parts, as I've understood them, are that the symbols are identical, but reversed on either arm, with the right arm indicating an outwrd flow and the left indicating an inward flow, creating a current or circle. on the right arm are the words "terra" and "aer" (earth and air) while the left arm is marked with "ignis" and "aqua" (fire and water). Each pair is contradictory and the four together represent the four classical elements. Your assertions about the word celas and caelas are interesting, though. Again, find a really clean version of the Ishval flashbacks involving Sar's brother. You'll be able to see the arms from several angles. CorbeauKarasu 12:36, February 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Slightly unrelated, but you seem to have a knack for this. I've been studying Scar's tattoos for a while and I've deciphered Armstrong's gauntlets and Basque Gran's gauntlets, but I can't make heads or tails of the script around Kimblee's tattoos. I can't even tell what language it is. I think I caught the word "helmen", which is German for "helmets", but other parts of it almost look as though they use Greek letters, though I may be mistaken.

I always thought there wasn't any real text at all - is there a picture in the manga on which it is seen more or less clearly? I don't recall any. It doesn't seem like Arakawa designed Kimblee's tattoos so thoughtfully, all we need to see are the sun and moon symbols and triangles (cause Ed explained that they are needed for Kimblee's alchemy to work).
