how do you feel about the idea that roy is completely useless without his gloves??

While I understand the humour behind that concept, as a legitimate theory, it bothers me.

Unlike Ed, who joined the Military through the State Alchemy Exam, Roy is a trained soldier; he's canonically been through the military academy. Obviously he knows how to defend himself without his alchemy, or he never would have made it through basic training :/

#Fullmetal Alchemist #Roy Mustang #look it's an alien planet military and I get that #and not to be a boot-licker or anything #but tell me you have no idea how military recruitment and training work without actually telling me lmao #not only is he a trained soldier but he's made it all the way to *Colonel*#and while his alchemy has definitely helped with that he'd 100% need more than just alchemy to get that high up #like as a joke thing I think it's funny #but as a legitimate claim I think you're dumb as hell lol #if he needed his alchemy in order to hold his own in a fight he wouldn't have passed basic training #'cause literally what the fuck would he do in a fight in the rain?#or if he lost or damaged his gloves in a warzone?#just fucking die?#yeah okay #he clearly knows how to manage without his alchemy I feel like that would be a fucking requirement to becoming a soldier
