Riza fricking Hawkeye

UPDATE: added new articles + link to Russian translation (23.11.2017)

Here’s a summary of all the translations of Riza + Roy + RoyAi content that I’ve done so far. The articles are mostly from the official guidebooks/artbooks, but there are also some translations for the RoyAi segments from official FMA games. 

CHECK OUT THE LATEST TRANSLATIONS HERE!

oh, by the way, some of the articles were translated in Russian by @lissiamsn. You can read them on VK.

I’m still accepting requests (even for non-RoyAi information) as long as I can have access to the raw Japanese material. Just send me an ask, and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

For your reference, here are the official FMA books I have with me (as far as I know, they ARE canon materials):

FMA manga in Japanese (if you want to verify the English translations) FMA Chronicle (aka. THE Fullmetal Alchemist bible) FMA Perfect Guidebooks 1 to 3 (manga canon) FMA Official Anime Guidebooks 1 to 4 (Brotherhood recap) FMA Institute DX (official fanbook by Hiromu Arakawa) FMA Illustrations 1 to 3  (manga artbook) The Science behind Fullmetal Alchemist

Please remember that the games may or may not be canon at all (i.e. To the Promised Day, Prince of the Dawn, and Daughter of the Dusk fit the manga/canon story and timeline, but Dream Carnival does not).

T/L NOTE: Please do not steal/repost my translations anywhere else. You can redirect a link to my blog instead. Also, please give credit where credit is due and at least mention my blog whenever you use my translations or the information within. Thank you~!!

But yeah the duality between Riza’s gentle and cruel side are important. I know she is not unique in this regards within the series, but she is my favourite, so ヽ(；▽；)ノ. Like it is the whole point that the veteran characters are likeable people, but they are not ‘good’ people. Even Riza never denies that she is indeed proud of her skills as a marksman and feels satisfaction from her kills. Because she does. She did believe in the military and politics of Amestris and joined in voluntarily. She has no excuse and knows it. Yet at the same time she dreams of peace, is gentle and patient, maybe grew up a little shy, and has been like that since she was young. How can such a sensitive soul commit atrocities? These characters not being solely pureblooded good or evil or cruel or kind is the point. That’s what the series is about ya know.

I love how Riza has this beautiful sequence in one of the outros and then RIGHT AFTER there's Roy just being sad in the rain for several moments

my first royaihavoc short doujinshi!
