Rather, eating is optional for them. Remember that Yoacerberus Malgam was hungry for meat.

Well, the Chemies have been around for 120 years in their current forms, so I imagine the same is true for the Dark Sisters since whenever Geryon made them. That would explain why Atropos is the oldest, despite appearing the youngest. It's also canon that the Fantastic and Cosmic Chemies are older than Ojilacanth, so we cannot rely on appearance to judge the age of alchemical lifeforms.

Chemy #101 only has 2 eyes though (well, 4 if you count goggles) and while I think a #102 could be introduced later, I doubt they exist yet. Hermes being a figurative #0 could make sense, if the Alchemist of Dawn used his power in the composition of the 101 Chemies.

Good thing Majade wakes up before Gotchard can draw Venomdake.

Takumi/Mari did become canon in Paradise Regained, after all.

So Henshinzero was right about the rumor of Lachesis getting a Valvarusher. It's the same as Spanner's, so she can't Ironize with the Plant Chemies she once used as a Malgam. That means her options are Vehicle, Occult or their corresponding Repli variants.

At least the story seems to ramp up again next week.

I figure it's pretty typical to do something a little chill after a high stakes arc finale. Was there anything specific you were hoping to see here?

Glad to see the Riders' respective rivalries with the Dark Sisters making consistent pace. Rinne and Atropos got more focus in this arc, Spanner and Lachesis is being set up and next episode will finally focus on Houtarou and Clotho! Feels like it's been a while since they seriously interacted. The X-Rex arc, I think?
