Arie Hon in one of SIU's blog claimed that if fully released his blade has the capacity to pierce through half the tower.
Am I the only one that doesn’t enjoy the fight. It is clearly obvious that the author favors gusting even though they are meant to be equal.
Not to mention, we know for sure that Traumerei divided his power a lot, while it's still not fully confirmed Gustang did this, or to such extreme degree at least. That might be another reason.
I miss reading those blog posts after every chapter. I have a Google doc someone made back in the day during season 2. Is SIU still doing them?
