A Full Recovery is the eighty-first chapter of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga, part of the Briggs Arc and the twentieth volume. Its Japanese title is a burst of energy drawn straight from one of Edward's lines.
Summary
This chapter carries the number eighty-one and sits inside the Briggs Arc, collected in the twentieth volume of the series. It comes after the preceding chapter, The Prodigal Father Returns, and opens into the next one, Family by Spirit.
Key Events
The installment keeps the northern Briggs storyline moving, occupying the slot between chapters eighty and eighty-two in the reading sequence. Its energetic title echoes a closing remark from Edward that caps the chapter.
Notes
The original Japanese title, Baribari no Zenkai, translates loosely as fired up or bursting with energy, taken from Edward's final line of the chapter. Because that line was altered for the American edition, the chapter title changed along with it. The 2009 anime adaptation renders the same phrase as Revving at Full Throttle. In Japan the chapter appeared on March 12, 2008, and the English version was published on September 15, 2009.
