ch. 104 translation fine points

[dragonimp]

Okay, on page 49, according to the rough translation from Tombow, Ed says: "Did everyone turn into a philosopher's stone?!" Which I took to mean everyone there - meaning Ed and co.

However, in the translation from Hisshouburaiken, Ed's line is "Did you turn all those people into a philosopher's stone?!

Father's lines from both translations imply that he used the souls to hold "god" inside himself, and that god and the souls are now inside him - nothing about them being inside anyone else.

So have Ed and co. been turned into philosopher's stones, or are all of the souls now inside Father? That makes a big difference in how powerful our heros now are and how much of a chance they stand against the new and improved Father.

Ok but then why did he keep the few that are there alive? That is what has me completely lost UNLESS there is more that we don't know which will be revealed next month ... dammit Arakawa for all this suspense and confusion!
