Author's Note[]
Translation[]
- It seems like volume 9's cover was pretty popular amongst my readers, and I ended up receiving loads of reaction postcards from people.
- "It's like that 'Follow me!' type thing, right!!" or
- "Men speak with their backs, right!!" or
- "I love how he's leaving everyone in charge of his back!!".
- .......I can't say that "I did that because it was too much of a pain in the ass to draw the colonel from the front"...........
- .....I can't say it.........

Synopsis[]
From the back of the volume: "Barry the Chopper, the psychopathic killer whose soul is encased in a suit of armor, has been captured by Colonel Mustang's troops. Fearing he will reveal the Philosopher's Stone conspiracy, Gluttony and Lust decide to kill him, using Barry's own original soulless body to track him down! Though Colonel Mustang has anticipated their moves and set up an ambush, Gluttony and Lust prove too powerful and easily fight their way through to Barry, who is being protected by Al and Lieutenant Hawkeye. In a terrible battle, a badly injured Colonel Mustang sacrifices all in a last-ditch attempt to stop Lust!"
