Talk:Berthold Hawkeye

Flame Alchemy Circle
In attempted recreations of the circle on Riza's back(which is the pinnacle of his research) describes Nuclear Fusion in some of the equations and as many of us know Mustang was used in trapping of "God" in Father's new form. Well is it possible it isn't a coincidence that Father expressed his new power as Nuclear Fusion? I mean even though mustang is blind now, it doesn't mean he can't still do alchemy. So isn't looking big that Mustang will be the one to save the day? Vladashram 00:11, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Where is nuclear fusion mentioned? Also, keep in mind that some recreations are innaccurate. The text on Hawkeye's back is the "Libera Me" responsory, as clearly seen in the manga.206.53.157.77 01:00, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

[] This appears to be the most accurate interpretation and recreation. Although the area he believes to possibly contain the equation is just about completely destroyed except for an equation of Einstein's about energy that was used to help develop nuclear weapons. Also the idea that the area was the most destroyed because it was the most dangerous makes it even more likely it contained nuclear fusion. Vladashram 06:37, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, this interpretation has been floating around the net for some time and is very intriguing (we had it on our own site here for some time), however it is by no means accurate. The author of the article you've posted has a number of interesting ideas and insights about alchemy, but falters once the recreation is taken as fact. Examining the text on the tattoo in the manga shows quite plainly that the poems cited in the article do not appear at all and are instead replaced by the text of "Libera Me". Additionally, even on the parts of the array that are not obscured by scar tissue, not a single zodiac sign is visible where the recreation's author has placed them. Since the article seems to place a great deal of its basis on the perceived text and zodiac symbols, both of which are clearly incorrect in the recreation, I really have to say this interpretation holds very little water - no water, in fact, after a certain point. Whether or not Berthold Hawkeye's perfected Flame Alchemy incorporated ideas related to nuclear fusion cannot be verified, but there certainly are no clues suggesting such within Riza's tattoo.CorbeauKarasu 07:51, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
