![]() Episode 51: Riza says Roy’s name Roy tucks a strand of hair on Riza’s ear, “The world isn’t perfect, but that’s what makes it beautiful”.Episode 49: Riza gets jealous when the nurse flirts with Mustang.Episode 46: Roy gives Riza Fuery’s glasses. “Surely you jest”.Episode 37: ROY MUSTANG OBSERVATION JOURNAL.Episode 36: Riza tells Winry why she joins the military (train scene).Episode 32: Ishvalan stone-throwing (Riza got hit.Episode 26: Riza to Roy, “Do you even need to ask?”.Episode 16: Roy and Riza are alone in the hallway (reprimanding).Episode 15: Riza stops Roy from attacking Scar (useless in the rain).Episode 9: They are relocated to East together.Episode 8: They share a conversation in the car.Episode 5: First appreance of them together.So after discussing with another advanced Japanese speaker, I think it’s reasonable to say Arakawa intentionally meant to say Roy and Riza have romantic feelings, which is why I felt comfortable writing “両想いな二人” as “they both love each other.” ![]() Riza says Roy, while Roy says Riza (again, check the bookmark translated by pear you guys!) This post shares the bookmark itself (translated by The FMA characters are asked what or who they’re going to bring in a deserted island. June 11th = 611 = ロク + イチ + イチ = RO + I + I (ai) = RoyAiĪrakawa released an omake (extra comic) as a bookmark for FMA’s 20th anniversary exhibit in Tokyo, Japan (December 2021 - January 2021). And the first letter of ichi “i” is read as “ai” in English (for the Japanese). We already have the “Roy” part with 61 and now we just need the “Ai” (Eye) part… so we add another 1, which is イチ (ichi). The “eye” in Hawkeye is アイ in Japanese, which is just “ai” - thus the name of the pairing RoyAi (or RoyEye) is ロイアイ. One is ichi, 一 in kanji and イチ in katakana. Six in Japanese is roku, which is 六 in kanji - and ロク in katakana, which is the syllabary in which Roy and any other foreign name is written. June 1st is written 601, or better yet 61. ^^ It is also sometimes called Royeye in English. The 'Ai’ part is a word pun because 'Ai’ means love in Japanese, so you could say it means 'Roy/Hawkeye love’. ![]() So, to make a long story short, you could say it’s shortened from 'Roi/Hookuai’ or 'Roy/Hawkeye’. The 'Ai’ part comes from the English transliteration of how Riza’s name is spelt in Japanese: “Hookuai”. Roi is the direct furigana translation from the Japanese script, but on all official documents with his name in English, it says ‘Roy’ (even in Japan).

Men should be muscular and women should be va-va-voom!” As far as non-Takahashi artistic influences go, in the Fullmetal Alchemist: Profiles book she cites Norakuro author Suihō Tagawa Yudetamago’s Kinnikuman and Shigeru Mizuki, author of GeGeGe no Kitarō.Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos (2011) After graduating an agricultural high school much like the school that serves as the setting for Silver Spoon, a future manga she would author , Arakawa agreed to work on her parents’ farm for seven years before heading off to Tokyo to become a manga artist.Īrakawa both writes and draws her own manga. She has a very round and distinctive style of drawing and describes herself as a huge fan of drawing “muscles” and “old guys.” She also very much enjoys drawing voluptuous women and was gleeful when her editor allowed her to “keep the boobs” in one section of her work. Arakawa grew up together with her four siblings on a dairy farm in Hokkaido, a rural area of Japan.
