Talk:Dante

Was it ever confirmed that Dante was eaten by Gluttony? I was under the impression that at the moment that Gluttony attacked, Dante had open the Gate and pulled them both in. I believe this because there was no blood in the elevator, Which there would be since Gluttony lack a lower jaw and is quite a messy eater. There's also the fact that the hole in the floor seems too small for the both of them to fall through. If Gluttony was pulled into the gate and managed to escape it, That would explain his appearance in the movie. Rikudou Latios63.214.229.59 06:58, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Sentence structure
Don't know who changed it, but you need to read up.

Read this. This is how it originally was:

Soon after her meeting with the Elrics, Dante faked her death at the hands of the Homunculus Greed, who is in turn killed by Ed, although it is obvious to the viewer that her body was dead before Greed had arrived.

"Who in turn killed by Ed" That makes no sense. Even just the wording makes no sense, and it's alluding to Greed, who was then killed by Ed. I edited "Who in turn WAS killed by Ed" and someone edited back. Leave it alone. Cornwiggle 19:50, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Age
This has been bothering me since I first saw it.

Dante is stated to be 400 years old, same as Father in the manga. So, then why does it have "date of age" listed as "400 BC" That's 400 years before the year zero. Even in the 2003 anime, FMA takes place in the same time period, around 1914, so wouldn't that make Dante almost 2000 years old? Her date of birth was in the late 1500s, not 400 years before the start of the millennium. Tommy-Vercetti 19:55, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

It says in the script books that the reference to the plague when she talks to Hohenheim is a reference to the Black Death and cites the years 1347-1351 (4, pg. 157). It was also stated when Izumi and Ed went through her love letters that sometime between that point and then (Continental Calendar 1915) that the calendar changed from the Gregorian calendar. It's never specified when the new calendar came into effect or how much it shifted the dates by. They do calculate the letters to be about 400 years old, and that was their first body hop. Saying sometime in the early/mid 1300s (by the Gregorian calendar) would be the closest one would get. 24.32.255.92 09:34, August 18, 2011 (UTC)

Anon changes
I can't really tell from the history what this last anonymous did to this page, nor am I one to say if it should be reverted or not. CK should take a look at it. I know they erased a picture (for what reason, I have no clue), but can anyone else take a look? It looks like the anon took out the picture, rephrased stuff, but yet deleted lots more. It needs to be checked out at least. Tommy-Vercetti 16:01, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, someone really screwed this up. Thanks for noting it, it's fixed now. --DARK 19:37, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

Seiyuu/Trivia
The trivia section and her seiyuu listing have the wrong actress down. Her old woman form is voiced by Sugiyama Kazuko, who is not Tsuda Shoko/Izumi. In Lyla's body, she has Lyla's seiyuu (Yumi Kakazu) who is also not Izumi. I don't know who does her in the English dub or if she is the English version of Izumi. May want to have someone fix that and look into the English casting if you just want to keep trivia about a dub in there. 24.32.255.69 16:54, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

Lyra's voice actresses are mentioned on the Lyra page. It's too confusing to clutter up this page with her "other body voices". Even though the old woman wasn't her original body either, we still use that as the default "Dante voice" who happens to also share the same voice as Izumi in both versions.Tommy-Vercetti 18:24, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

But her old woman form was *not* voiced by Tsuda Shoko in Japanese. It was Sugiyama Kazuko. Sugiyama Kazuko is not Izumi. 24.32.255.92 09:15, August 18, 2011 (UTC)
