Summary
This ninety-ninth chapter continues the Promised Day Arc inside volume 24 of the series and centers on the ongoing battle at Central's front gate. Greed and the veteran fighter Fu press their fight against the Führer, known as the homunculus Wrath. Its Japanese title is written 永遠の暇.
Key Events
During the three-way struggle, Wrath seizes Fu's own blade and strikes the old warrior down with it, a grim turn in the courtyard fighting. The chapter feeds directly into Holding the Gate, which follows it in the reading order.

A continuity slip appears in the magazine printing of this chapter. As Wrath cuts down Fu, he wields Fu's stolen sword, yet the panel just before shows him still holding the weapon Buccaneer had earlier knocked from his grip. The error was corrected in the collected bound-volume edition.
