I was late at work last night, so I ended up sleeping late and not going to help with my friends' move after all :P. Sigh! Well, I guess I'll go help with the cleanup of the old apartment tomorrow instead

It was Chinmei who killed Mahiro's sister, not Shinrei. *points to icon* That's Shinrei. (But, seriously, if you think the similar names are bad now, just wait until a new character shows up in a volume or two when another character shows up, and then in vol 25, the TRANSLATOR keeps confusing 2 names, including having one character refer to someone else by his own name.)

I was sad to lose Taihaku so quickly, too.

I think Hawkeye did reveal her father's secrets to Mustang, and that she joined the military to make sure he didn't misuse the knowledge, It's always seemed pretty clear to me that he counts on her to keep him in line if he ever goes too far, and that if he ever loses his way, he expects her to take him out, regardless of their personal or professional relationship.

Yes, thank you. The similar names got me mixed up.

Re: FMA, yes, I agree. Mustang seems very ambitious at times, but his connection with Hawkeye and the Ishbanl veterans does keep him grounded. They do serve as a check on him if he ever did go too far.

And yes, I did come to the conclusion that she had let him know her father's secrets pretty soon, since he did after all use very strong flame alchemy skills during the Isbalan war.

ETA: Never has this icon been more fitting :D...

Just wait until you have an Akari and and Akira, and Akira talks about Akari a lot.

Mustang also destroyed parts of the tattoo. I don't see him doing that if he hadn't learned all the secrets.

OUCH!!!!!

When we first saw the tattoo when she was in the shower, bits of it had been burned off. I suspect he destryoed as little as possible so that no one who saw it after(whether she was dead or alive) could decipher it.
