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.

Pretty sure all the souls are inside Father. Why wouldn't they be after all? If the five are sacrifices, Mr.I've-been-working-my-evil-plot-for-centuries would be kinda stupid to give them any kinda power that would trip him up.

That would make the most sense. I'm thinking I misread the Tombow translation.
